It will be stuck in legal hell due to conflicts of interests.
Trains already exist, and they need to work - but maintenance/repair companies cannot legally modify software of them due to copyrights.
It's a catch22 situation.

I honestly hope that company will be fined to the oblivion, and for criminal charges for that, but i doubt it will happen.
In that case I have misunderstood you. What do PCIe devices have to do with secure boot?

As far as I'm aware, the Platform Key is used to validate UEFI drivers' signature, so configuring Secure Boot as detailed in the Arch wiki will also provide you with the possibility to sign a UEFI driver.

I'm not sure if there are any open source UEFI drivers out there (I don't think anyone has bothered), but you could write them if you wanted to. Kind of like Windows drivers, there's just not a lot of interest in open source UEFI drivers. Secure boot isn't preventing you from writing your own drivers.
It's funny how, in the western world, as a company, you can commit crimes and take a pat on the wrist, but, as an individual, you get to jail for the same crimes.
Nobody called it that :)

Any kind of GPS coordinates, especially those of competitor facilities in the firmware of a train is proof positive that something really bad is going on.

Context and manuals are just so much smoke and fail to obscure the facts.
I don't have a dog in this fight, other than being invested in FB via index funds, so technically yes but not really because they're index funds, but what's with the loaded question? A very similar AskHN came up a few weeks ago. It's the "have you stopped beating your wife yet" of Internet platforms. Does Netcraft also confirm they're dying?
Are you arguing that wasting meat is more significant than wasting vegetation? I agree, but that doesn't diminish the fact that wasting both is significant.

Are you arguing that everyone should be vegetarian? That's a topic I was not even remotely touching on.
Meanwhile, companies actually named Icom: https://www.icomamerica.com/

It's crazy to me that they didn't buy i.com in the early days.
Yeah, unless the engineers are using the product themselves. People in general seem to take care of their own tools. Much harder to get them to look after a product they don’t use themselves.
i think that's good advice if you're working in a situation where you're a cog in the wheel of a business that will still exist in 5 years. it's bad advice if every person has impact strategically and may be a big contributor to the life or death of the company.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda. That move was purely to force them to reinstate the ousted CEO. Microsoft would have done anything to protect their investment, but that does not mean that everyone at OpenAI would have benefited from this move - far from it.
Wish it would have automatic parser selection by default. Even if just for a (possible) selected subset. Typing `foo | jc | jq ...` would be more convenient than `foo | jc --foo | jq ...`.
Has this comment been written by a procedural text generator?
Yes, yes. I need help appreciating it :)
So big enough companies that have the resources to relocate elsewhere are safe but random citizens aren't. I understand they did it because they were forced to. Sad to see them go.
As a french person, I don't get why no politician ever talks about simplifying those things. It sounds so easy and such a quick win, leading to more visibility on the budget, and people getting easily access to their due money.
But I think I know the answer: current government doesn't want to make welfare easy to access, they want to actually deter people to use it unless they absolutely need it.

Animotion.dev – Updates
https://animotion.dev UPDATES

— Dec 6, 2023

Multiple Easings — Now you can specify a particular movement style, known as easing or timing function, for a specific transition area, in addition to the global one.

— Dec 3, 2023

WYSIWYG (Under Testing) — What You See Is What You Get. Previously, Animotion relied on the Native Animation Web API for the preview mode. Now, the preview mode uses the exact generated CSS code to preview the animation, relying on the browser's CSS engine. This provides accurate results, offers better and more precise feedback, and allows for the addition of new features, such as the possibility of using multiple easings and more.

— Dec 2, 2023

Tooltips Help — Hover over buttons to find out what they do. You can turn tooltips on or off whenever you like.

— Nov 29, 2023

Cleaner Code — Percentage steps with the same values are now grouped together for a concise generated code.

— Nov 28, 2023

Transform Snapping — Added snapping and guidelines to the transform tool.

Keyboard Shortcuts — You can now use Ctrl+Z for undo, Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y for redo, left/right keys to navigate between keyframes, Ctrl+X to cut, Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste, and backspace/del/delete to delete. For Mac users, use the ⌘ Command key instead of Ctrl.

— Nov 26, 2023

New domain name — Now you can access Animotion by visiting animotion.dev or www.animotion.dev.

Added Undo/Redo — Better experience and more control, now you can easily undo or redo actions.

Dark Mode — New dark theme added. Now, night owl developers can reduce eye strain by switching between light and dark with a simple click.

— Nov 14, 2023

Motions Gallery — A new tab with a collection of ready-to-use animations. You can simply choose one, copy the CSS code, and use it without changing anything, or customize it to fit your needs.

Edit Animation Button — Previously, the STOP button on the player was used to stop the animation and automatically trigger the editing mode. Now, there's a separate button specifically for manual animation editing, offering a stronger sense of control and less confusion.

— Nov 12, 2023

First Beta Release — This is the very first version of the app, like a test. It includes the basic features we've built so far.
If we can all agree that UN resolutions and international law should allowed to be implemented, that would be a path forward better than what's currently happening.
A random site with "just html" has the possibility as well to "spread viruses" with a unknown zero-day with for example a image handling exploit, or a novel sort of ram rewriting attack.

If you really care about "casual usability of things that can spread viruses" in your security model, you would actually prefer documents in PDF format and running them thru Qubes sanitizing conversion appvm.
Thanks for mentioning, this is fascinating. The original report is a masterpiece of forensics investigation. Worth a read: https://notes.valdikss.org.ru/jabber.ru-mitm/
> Does strong union actually result in better pay?

I could make double my salary if I accepted offers from US companies, but I've chosen to live in Europe instead.

Money is a mean to something, ultimately. I actually believe that the labor protections and social safety net provided in European countries typically makes for a healthier society.

If LLM’s were local and cheap, sure. They’re just too heavyweight of a tool to use for simple CLI output manipulation today. I don’t want to send everything to the cloud (and pay a fee), and even if it was a local LLM, I don’t want it to eat all my RAM and battery to do simple text manipulation.

In 20 years, assuming some semblance of moore’s law still holds for storage/RAM/gpu, I’m right there with you.
So the US isn't civilized, glad we settled that.
it's a great list. No database is perfect, and this is a good set of features that are missing from Postgres

that said, the flexibility/extensibility of Postgres still makes it a great choice. You could easily point at other databases and produce a list similar (or longer) than this.
I'd upvote this ten times if I could.

I had the good fortune of being exposed to both Pozar, an excellent lecturer and a wizard of an RF lab postdoc when studying RF engineering, and the utility of simply spending lots and lots of time in the lab, trying all sorts of implementations of filters, transmission lines, antennas and whatever caught our fancy, prototyping with wild abandon, verifying (or getting stymied by) the results, refining our measurement skills along the way...

Priceless.

Then all RF design jobs disappeared overnight and I ended up doing PLC coding instead of working with radio - but, hey, University was great fun, and RF design definitely is one of the fields where there's still room for intuition and a bit of artistry in addition to just knowing the hard theory of the subject.
It’s an interesting question, I guess it depends if they can raise enough money.
Perhaps, but those adapters often lack USB ports in my experience. USB-C docks also aren't always reliable, because many of them use the accursed DisplayLink protocol to do video.

I think the general consumer just isn't aware that this is an option. Perhaps Samsung should offer free dongles with their flagship phones to build a market, because it's a real shame people don't know about DeX.
100% agree with this. IMO there are a few efforts to modernize PLC programming but I feel like they are still stuck in the 1990s software development. Take a look at Codesys, got Git support few years ago and in very bad shape. How do you test your code, in the field or buy another Codesys testing plugin....which is in rough shape.

The issue is as machines get way more complex this issue gets worse. Also there are generations of PLC devs that still want to stick with ladder logic. Huge fragmentation.
Ask HN: Those of you in M&A – is AI generated code a pencils down moment?
When we first started seeing Github CoPilot/ChatGPT there was a lot of concern from the legal standpoint of IP ownership and copyright issues.

When you are evaluating a company for acquisition, what happens when you learn that the programmers have been using AI-generation? Is it pencils down? Change the valuation? Nothing?
This is I think a much more effective line of communication. I would also suggest that investing in creating communities where parents are much more involved in their children's activities is also a really effective mitigation. Much of our current communities seem to be trending in a direction where children are isolated and alienated making them much richer targets. Creating communities where the environment is much less target rich for those who would prey on them would I think be a good step. Also making it a community where children are more likely to report the predator would go a long way toward identifying and removing the predator from those communities.
Well, I was in Ireland, not France, but it sounds similar.

I think the main difference is that when I hear my neighbour committing fraud, I think "well why the hell am I not doing that too?", but when I hear about a big company doing it, I don't feel like I could be doing the same.

Funny enough, I _did_ recently move to the Netherlands and found myself as the director of both an Irish and a Dutch company at the same time. I briefly looked in to Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (Dutch Sandwich, etc.) but suffice it to say as the only employee of both of these companies I didn't have the scale to make it worth the trouble.
"Southern Reach Trilogy" by Jeff VanderMeer [0]. I absolutely loved every book. "Annihilation" is probably my favorite.

What hooked me about the series were two things: 1) It was very, /very/ weird and 2) it often times felt like the characters had no power.

"Bliss Montage" by Ling Ma [1]. The short stories felt dreamy - drifting in perspectives, places, and times. Many of the stories had a supernatural aspect to them.

"Invisible Cities" by Italo Calvino [2]. This book is a puzzle. You could read it front to back, or you could read it in the various different orders. There is no intended order. Again, very dreamy and weird. This book is a conversation, where Marco Polo is telling Genghis Khan of the cities within his kingdom. I was introduced to this book by Jacob Geller's video essay "Cities without people" [3].

"Ring" by Koji Suzuki [4]. One of my first horror book reads, and also the first in the Ring series. The "Ring" movies are based off of this book. I also read the 2nd one, which provides a very different view on the series and gives the horrors in the book a scientific backing.

This year for me has been the year of strange novels.

Based on the photos, "smash their way out" appears to mean "open the door with the clearly marked manual override level", and "stranded" appears to mean "had to cross a couple tracks, and walk to the nearest gap in the fence".

The text of the article suggests they had to use the emergency windows / break stuff, and that they were stuck in a tunnel without a pedestrian evacuation route (which would be illegal even here in the US where we hate trains).

The real screw up was probably lack of training of the people on duty. They should have evacuated the train (i.e., opened the doors, and had conductors guide the passengers with flashlights) after an hour, at the most.
After sales support, as in spare parts and maintenance, is a big part of income for manufacturers of heavy equipment, as such machines run for a loong time given parts and maintenance. To me they really did not want to lose on 'subscription money' in the form of service contracts they missed out on. It came close to the operator coming back to them to fix the trains 3rd party seemingly couldn't.
I have been using Kagi as my default search engine for a month now. It really provides better search experience than google.

Nowadays, Google Search is flooded by SEO. When you search things on Google, you will likely get tons of listicles titled "Top <keyword> 2023", "<keyword1> vs <keyword2> comparison", which barely contains some useful contents. Sometimes, you will even see some AI-generated gibberish articles repeating some basic information about your keywords. It becomes much harder to find useful contents from google than the old days.

Kagi search results have fewer nonsense articles. They groups those listicles together so that you can easily skip them. The feature I like the most is Personalized Results, which allows you to pin/raise/lower/block results from certain domains. For example, I pin wikipedia.org, and block quora.com.

> However, the last 7-8 years in the US have shown that (at least in politics) rules need to be spelled out. We had a bunch of informal agreements of what people in certain positions should do or not do, but as we have seen someone will eventually come around and look to test the limits.

People coming round to test the limits is fine, the problem is that in the US parts of the ruling class has decided the (short term) benefits of tolerating severe transgression to those limits is worth it, in effect simply removing the limits.

The problem is simply that limits don't work if there is no the willingness by the people in power to enforce them, and this regardless of if them are informal or formalised limits. Many things things Trump did were simply illegal, but since Congress didn't impeach for these crimes they just become "controversial actions".
In absolute numbers it may be doing fine. Steadily growing even (I don't think it is).

But in relative numbers, that means a significant decline. In many niches and usecase, that practically means obsolence. Keep in mind that the amount of new people in software development have been almost doubling each year, for decades.

I'm in Ruby and Rails fulltime for over 12 years now. Almost all the work I come across is either legacy, maintenance, upgrading or untangling spaghetti.

One reason for that may be that Rails is optimized for "one man shops", which by nature aren't jobs people have vacancies or hires for.
But the more logical reason is that people just don't start new projects in Rails anymore. Not on a practically significant scale, anyway. For every new rails project, there's probably hundreds of python, typescript, rust, Java and PHP projects. In web alone.
Kagi has been pretty good for me for Thai and Japanese results.

I've had countless occasion Google's result is much worse than Kagi, as far as returning actual useful results is concerned. For example, searching for a product in Japanese, Kagi may find fewer results, but Google shows a page full of affiliate spam, which is not really useful.

The only occasion where I found Google remotely useful is for image search and map search.

The quality of SW has nothing to do with the pay. Notice that FAANG SW developers do not deliver safety critical SW.

There are more things to SW development than writing code.
Interesting, I wasn’t aware. I recall there was a post (from Vlad probably?) where they noodled over pricing plans and IIRC they considered low flat rate insufficient, I thought ML would be it but perhaps it’s the search.
They didn't smash the windows. Look at the photos, and not the text of the article.
This strikes me like the people who (after a big contentious election AKA every election) tell the people whose candidate lost, "if you don't like it, move to another country"

Except I think switching trades (which you would have to do since the union is all encompassing and forces membership) is a lot more onerous than emigrating, and emigration is no slice of cake.

> whereas the tough luck approach of the past while creating some uncomfortable situations forced people to overcome these situations and excel?

IME the historical approach is more about denial and ignorance, where most of my friends find out there are solutions to their problems decades later by accident on the internet or by therapy after their first job-with-benefits.

The cartman-style I-identity-as-my-desease is an obvious strawman. Random annoying person on tiktok should not be used as an argument to keep the world in a state of denial and ignorance.
That's the headline visible on the page. The <title> is what we're discussing here.
I'm not really sure I know what you mean by "compression in the guise of abstraction". Re-usable code is a great way to isolate a discrete piece of logic / functionality to test and use in a repeatable manner. A sharable module is the simplest and often smallest form of abstraction.
That doesn't justify letting passengers sit in the dark for 3 hours. Most riders probably expect to last their trip half an hour, with the usual variance already factored in.

Very interesting link (@Not Just Bikes), didn't think it's so bad in the US with pedestrian walkways.

I mean like I live in the Romanian suburb and it's not great, but supermarkets everywhere and walkways alongside car roads is the norm. What we still try to catch up is Netherland-ish bike lanes, problem's when they do it at all, "they" (city roadworks) implement it in a very Balkan way: they made a bike lane allright but every 10 meters there's a crossing with a 10 cm bump, makes biking on the lane rather impractical if not impossible.

>What should I have done take screenshots every 5 minutes?

1. OBS allows you to take 60 screenshots a second (hint: a video is a sequence of images) with zero effort

2. Can't you take a single screenshot when you're done and sending it off for review? Or at the end of each day if you're working on a massive change?

>Your response seems so inept. I’m posting on the internet in case anyone has to deal with something similar there’s a trail of evidence. Downvoting would be the same as agreeing with the Nazis.

A random off topic comment in a random hacker news thread isn't going to help anyone. "My dog ate my homework and btw there's this anonymous commenter on this thread about google drive data loss that says the same thing" is only marginally more credible than "my dog ate my homework". If anything the former makes you look worse. Why were you wasting time surfing hacker news rather than coding? Or at the very least gathering actual evidence that spooky things are happening with the VCS?
Personally I stopped messing with old hardware on the desktop side.

Old laptops make great servers though -- built in UPS and KVM! Fire up some containers and enable all the P states

But as a desktop there is a lot that is obnoxiously slow or flat out unusable on old gear. The modern web is really taxing on old hardware like this and its super frustrating to experience severe lag on even basic sites like youtube
