What management and what devs need from an issue manager is very different. Which is why every 5-10 years everyone wants to switch to a simpler tool, then slowly most of the complexity in the first tool gets added back as the people who needed that one feature complain loud enough, until the people who wanted simplicity become the loud voice and you switch to a simpler tool. It is never the tools fault above. (Some tools are better than others, but the real problem isn't the tool)
> I mean us Linux users, trust 100% the software that we run on our machine

I don't think pretending everything is just a trusted system (in the trusted computing sense that trusted system is one whose failure would break a security policy) helps.

One of the reasons why system stability overall got better since the days of cooperative multitasking OSes is that you can no longer simply steal CPU forever or write to memory that isn't yours anymore. You will get preempted. You'll get a segfault. The OS doesn't trust, and doesn't need to trust, that all the applications running in the system are written to a quality higher that the OS itself to "just not crash all the time".

On the note of absolute trust, I have less that 100% trust on any proprietary crap that I run.

I also absolutely have less that 100% trust on any random site that I visit. I doubt anyone runs a browser that isn't under some sort of namespaces, sandboxes or MAC. So those layers of security are valuable, and I hope they continue to exist.

> To me it seems that Linux is going into a wrong direction because it makes assumptions that make sense only in the context of proprietary operating systems like macOS/Windows. We choose to ditch these systems for an open OS not to have these issues! I don't want to have the stupidity of these OS ported on Linux...

Aren't you in fact trying to shoehorn the Windows model (Just let me run this binary blob from the internet that does arbitrary side effects on my system) in Linux?
It says you invited spammers. Did you try discussing the matter with the mods?
We should probably fight to change it, since we'll all end up in their place, it's just a matter of time.
I'd think it's really good at tokenization to word. That's exactly what it's trained to do.
There must be some real use for it for sure. Maybe as a result of this effort someone else has their attention called to it and picks up the idea loosely and runs with it in an unexpected way.

One of the benefits of lack of contextual or historical understanding is the lack of barriers to action. One of the downsides is you’re likely to do a lot of things of questionable value.
He’s basically saying the complexity of current Artemis mission design is indicative of lack of communication, mainly due to politics. He points out some of the obvious problems that isn’t being discussed openly (e.g., large number of untested refueling procedure which needs to be done to get one vehicle to the moon). He is trying to persuade the audience to challenge the current way of doing things, and look to the past successful Apollo programs to see why they were so successful.

I did skip some life story part when watching the video - but the talk was not bad at all. You can use the FF button and use 1.25x speed if that helps. I think it was worth my time.
I'm not sure if Taylor is aware of the following fact; if not it's a cute coincidence.

In the 1978 Soviet kid's cartoon «Трое из Простоквашино», the talking dog character gives the talking cat a curt refusal: "Fig vam!" ("fuhgeddaboudit" but rather more impolite IIUC) — but as this is not only a children's program, but even a soviet children's program, he covers himself by explaining that he was just talking about a traditional housing style among the indigenous Americans: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/b/ba/Sharik_Figvam...

Medicare Advantage is incredibly predatory and a misalignment of incentives. It pushes what should be a socialized program to the free market, which abuses it and rejects care in order to turn a profit.

It's very funny people were worried about ACA "Death Panels". The insurers offering Medicare advantage basically have doctors on their payroll acting exactly as people feared, except it's the free market so somehow that's okay?
I've been hiking in Big Basin for about 30 years now, and have been there since the fire. To use your language "the forest in its rebuilding phase" but it will take a long time.

a. Using nix in place of a package manager means dealing with libraries specific to that language. It's still managing different apis. And more potential for bugs and unforeseen problems in custom 3rd party APIs as opposed to the official one. Admit it, you hit tons of problems getting everything to work fine with python.

b. C++ is the only one that would benefit from nix here because C++ dependencies are usually installed externally. There's no folder with all the external sources in the project. Even so this can be achieved with docker. If you want you can have docker call some other scripting language to install everything if you want "one language" which is essentially what you're doing with nix.

Is there an equivalent of https://hckrnews.com/ (especially the top 10 / top 20 filters) for lobste.rs? That's the main way I browse HN, I wish I could do the same for lobste.rs. The closest seems to be https://lobste.rs/top but it seems to only cover the past week.

I’ve found that people will use CI tools like a hammer once they get them working - everything’s a nail, even screws or bolts.

You often end up with these glorious Rube Goldberg machines where Jenkins does everything and becomes a single point of failure - if the instance falls over, everything’s fucked.
Did you read the article that you linked?

There is nothing illegal about using an e-money service for a few small transactions. When you eventually reach the cumulative amount that triggers the KYC process, you are under no obligation to complete it and refusing to do so is not "structuring".

Of course, they will suspend your account until you're in compliance with their KYC process.

Do you have any technical explanation of what they are doing? I made a few searches, but I only got fluffy explanations. I guessed they are transforming the fat into biodiesel and the sugar into ethanol, and then mixing them with additives. (Because putting real fat and sugar in the airplane tank makes no sense.)
ideally things go perfectly all the time, but people sometimes make mistakes. what would you rather they do? pass on the candidate because they didn’t get enough data to support a hire? or give them more chances to demonstrate their capabilities?

I enjoy HN as much as the next guy but it's easy to get high comment counts when you count archive.is links (and the ensuing 4 levels nested argument about why they don't work with Cloudflare DNS and who's in the right on that), complaints about CSS/scroll hijacking, and general pedantry. You can find many cases where interesting but pretty specific kind of technical stuff sort of languishes at the bottom of the front page whereas flamebait type articles that tap into the vague libertarian anti-surveillance sentiment that is popular here get hundreds of comments. Not that I don't generally agree with it, just that I've heard all the arguments a million times and I'd rather learn about how to use AVX2 instructions. I think the algorithm should have some sort of subject based ranking, where highly repetitive topics are penalized. Or maybe it already does and the sheer popularity of the stuff makes it show up regardless.

That being said, I haven't seen that many interesting things on Lobsters that weren't also on HN. Only one that comes to mind is the Go 1.22 inlining overhaul but I just googled it and apparently that was also on HN, I just missed it.
It's the trolly problem.
Congratulations on what you've accomplished through your positive attitude and hard work!

It seems reasonable to me that diligent people with a positive attitude do better in the long run. And as far as I can tell, your positive attitude and diligence were self-generated.

The "scam" is ['researchers,' not you] claiming that what you've done for yourself, can be bottled, distilled, and taught in a classroom, or through millions of copies of a book, or huge speaking and consulting contracts, etc. That sounds good, but seems to not be true, or at least not be based in science.

To reiterate:

Ignore all study materials. Go to leetcode.com and literally memorize the most common questions for the company you are interviewing at. This is what your competition is doing. DO NOT LEARN THE MATERIAL. Just memorize it

Do the same thing for system design. Memorize the answers word for word. DO NOT LEARN THE MATERIAL.

The highest paid tech jobs go to candidates that regurgitate perfect answers to interview questions. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying or doesnt understand whats going on.
Yeah but other than conan it's one of the few things where you can get a sort of "project package manager" experience like npm with C++. It's not nearly as user friendly as what they have for python or nodejs.
Confusing web design and desktop UI design in the 90s does little to dispute the assertion that desktop UI design peaked in the 90s. In the late 90s, the browser was completely new - so there was a lot of skeuomorphism, borrowing from other media to try to make the web work well. Space Jam's format was familiar, though to users of multimedia CD-ROM and other interactive hypermedia of the era.

The desktop application GUI - which is really what people are claiming hit the peak in the 90s, really did. Menus, windows, tabs, dialogs, scroll bars etc... all were fairly well settled, and users understood them. A user who knew Word for Windows could do pretty well using WordPerfect for Windows. Most day-to-day applications were pretty easy to figure out because discoverability was very well done, and wizards and how-to dialogs helped users through the rough bits.

There was consistency between applications - save in areas where the OS didn't really provide GUI guidance - so design, CAD, and other creative apps (hi, Adobe) often had divergent ways of doing things and came with a steep learning curve. The web took off because it actually worked a lot like the multimedia CD-ROMs that preceded it - and websites were a lot easier for developers to build.
Thanks, this would explain my issues! I changed this for my network but not the DNS-over-HTTPS provider. Appreciate the fix.
And if you want to undo all the destruction caused by this plugin: Check out Zynaptiq UNCHIRP :) (https://www.zynaptiq.com/unchirp/).

Obviously it cannot undo every single artifact caused by MP3 compression, but I was blown away by how much it can undo the bubbly, metallic artifacts of many older MP3s. If your single source for a sound that you absolutely need is an old, low-quality MP3 file, this thing can do wonders that I thought wouldn't be possible. It's quite expensive but if this is something you have to deal with regularly, it's quite worth the price.

> I am so happy that Wise always works.

Always works is a bit strong. I have a few horror stories.

Certainly Wise are not as good as they used to be back in the day.

I still use them, mostly because they are probably the safest fintech outfit compared to the others that operate out of, e.g. Hong Kong. But I'll still never forgive them for some of the dumb shit they've done on some of my transactions in recent years (sadly I can't discuss in public because, well, you know, security).

What I can say publicly are more generic things like how transactions can be so lethargic these days, i.e. operationally they are clearly batching and netting far more aggressively, which is clearly entirely for their operational convenience ... who cares if your transaction doesn't go through for 4–8 hours, right ?
People are way more willing to accept negative feedback and direction from a computer than a human. It’s one of the major benefits of code linters and CI. It’s not embarrassing to be told by a computer that you messed up.

I put all the important steps in scripts (makefiles or as commands in package.json for JS projects) which can be run without Jenkins. Pipeline in the Jenkinsfile only runs those steps separately in the correct container build stage to collect separate step results.

If done correctly, the Jenkinsfile should be easy to read by a person who has never written a Jenkins pipeline before.

With this approach it is hard to mess things up by creating a monster pipeline which no one can understand, and if necessary, you can quickly change to different CI runner at a later point in time.

They're not. But they're also not required to flaunt their own ignorance as though it's a well-formed opinion. Also, in a professional setting, I find it a bit unprofessional and rude to poo poo technical ideas over trivialities.
Well, that's ideology for you: you oppose things you believe to be bad.

That is a lot lower than I expected based on the rest of the article. Maybe still a bit too high for false positives, but it's not outlandishly high. Those numbers make it seem like the insurers are doing a lot better job at avoiding unnecessary treatment than the doctors and hospitals are doing...

As a developer with a Linux laptop (ThinkPads, etc.) since forever, I have been avoiding nVidia like the plague since switcheroo became a thing more than a decade ago. Every time I tried the user experience with (discrete) nVidia cards as a non- single screen gamer has always been a horrible waste of battery. Intel and AMD GPUs getting so much better have been a total blessing. Being able to just connect an external monitor/projector with different scaling without a hassle is very liberating in a professional setting

I also should have added as a child I had constant ear aches. This was before the time of tubes being inserted for drainage. But also my Dad smoked so it may have been partly due to that. Once the bars here banned smoking and overall smoking in public was more controlled I noticed a big drop in any sinus and ear issues, finally! I never smoked but it was the 1970s and 1980s I got more than enough just second hand. Many factors I think can cause ear and hearing problems smoke, sinus, jaw clench, stress.

Exactly, at a previous job I suggested that if someone spent less than their budget the surplus should be added to their budget for the next fiscal year, then managers could plan for big changes, go lean for a couple of years and then have make the changes needed while staying "in budget." I saw an accountant literally roll their eyes at this idea. They explained that any surplus at the end of the year goes into executive bonuses so either use my full budget or give the boss some extra spending cash next year, my choice. Uh yeah, right.

Tags are used as negative signal, rather than positive (as in, you filter out tags you don't like, rather than taking the ones you do), so overtagging would kill the submission, and missing tags will be added by others via suggestions (which automatically add the tag after some threshold amount of suggestions).

That's still profit maximizing. If they can't argue the "moral" decision on profit rationale it's illegal.

LLCs are amoral by design. It can be argued that this amorality can result in good outcomes when e.g. regulated proprerly. But that doesn't make the LLCs themselves moral actors.

Mistaking companies for moral actors results in folly like letting them regulate themselves.
"Tragedy of the anticommons" usually refers to the tragedy of enclosing something that isn't scarce (e.g. copyrighted creative work), but this is a slightly different tragedy that deserves the same name.
