I had spam bounces coming from Microsoft. Someone had convinced MS that they owned my domain and was apparently sending spam via an MS SMTP server (failing SPF was apparently not a problem for them), and any that bounced were being sent to my server: the real mail server for that domain. I reported the malicious org and explained what I had found out, but they obviously denied that it could possibly actually come from themselves and misunderstood what was happening (took me a bit to puzzle that out as well, those mystery emails showing up in my inbox). MS sending out spam isn't my problem, but I figured I'd be nice. Alas.

Few months later, they started bouncing my server's new IP address and that, too, wasn't their fault of course: "we're not seeing a block for your IP address so there cannot be bounces". Denying reality is super effective. The punchline was that they had blocked the new ISP's whole range rather than just my IP, so they weren't getting any hits when searching for my IP address. I found this out through some back-and-forth with a friendly sysadmin at the ISP, who was also banging their head against MS' wall...

These people must be so underpaid they're probably giving MS money for the privilege to work for such a correct business
The Last Responsible Moment matters tremendously for the things that you 'have to get right' as well, and people who "need closure" can complect such negotiations.

If the problem is hard, you have to start thinking about it early. But every day you've thought about it a little without committing, you have a little more information about how it'll feel to take each path, and how it's likely to affect your operations people and customers.

Also Observation Bias may cause you to read that one article that explains why one of the choices seems like a good idea but is a trap. Or why you definitely should or should not use the latest major version, because of some change for the better or worse.

Frustratingly, some people see any discussions about such things as non sequiturs, distracting them from today's problems.
The Random Transformer
The document says "generation". I though Germany imported a lot of their electricity. I can't tell if these numbers include the source of the imported power.
It's vinyl, the same material used to wrap a train or bus (or racing car) in a printed advert.

(Search "vinyl train wrap".)
I don't understand why people are cancelling their streaming services, the increasing prices, additional advertising, and spreading the content among different services creates a much more traditional viewing experience. This is more reflective of how the artists wanted their work presented, much like the use of vinyl rather than higher quality digital formats.

More seriously, previously I would have said "just buy the stuff you think you'll want to rewatch" but as Sony (it was playstation right?) just demonstrated that is a fiction as well :-/
Fire is one thing, explosion as the result of collision is other.
Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora, Suse, Arch, Gentoo, and Slackware all support secureboot. After that I got tired of looking up linux distributions, so there are likely more.
How hard is it to say calling for genocide of a group would probably make individuals of that group less safe, and therefore a violation of university policy? University Presidents at some of the most prestigious universities didn't get outmaneuvered by a slick operator, they just let it slip how they felt about a certain group.
It really took me a surprising amount of time to notice the difference between his channel (and similar other actual content creators like Veritasium) and the many many other channels where some guy pretty much regurgitates information he did with only desk research, showing about 200 short stock footage clips while voicing over from some bedroom.

I suppose it just goes to show how easily you can be on autopilot and not appreciating or being able to tell actual journalism or original content from junk.

Yeah, I probably had wrong expectations, I kinda assumed that they would have significant success in something other than climbing the academic administration ladder.

I watched the testimony. I’m left leaning these days (mostly because the right went batshit crazy), but I hold a lot of conservative values (which are reflected in the moderate left too so nbd).

I found her testimony to be insipid and not worthy of someone who has the position of leader and president.

She should have clearly stated “if someone calls for violence or genocide of any people, that is against harvards code” (and if that’s not true then amend the code please). It should have been a lay-up.

Instead she kept saying “it depends on the context” which sounds like politician speech for dodging accountability. That’s fine for most people, but is this what we want from society’s leaders?

If there were questions about “intifada”, she should have said something like “I don’t speak that language, so I can’t tell you what it means, but calls for genocide are not okay”.
I lived on Turk between Hyde and Leavenworth. It has all the bad things. The advantages are, to my reckoning, overwhelming.
Yes — obviously Francis Collins, former director of NIH, just did the comparison wrong.

And obviously the people you’re stereotyping were just “anti-vax” and “anti-mask”, not people who objected based on principle and were right.

You’re a crank who can’t admit he was wrong.
Thanks!

Sadly, my version of Android seems to lack these finer-grained controls. I got an OS update a couple of months ago, though. Perhaps these are newer than that?
If you look into enough NTSB investigations communication is often the first thing to go during a crash. Even if everyone is still coherent technical problems alone can have quite horrific results. Using a megaphone to communicate is just not that useful in a plane.

A lot of my colleagues bailed on the company at the height of COVID moves for FAANGs and have since been downsized. Meanwhile my company has done its best to keep layoffs far from engineering. Our sales aren't doing super well, but we have cash on hand and a very low amount of debt. And we're already public so we don't need to look for funding.

I'm still saving money in case layoffs happen, especially because I'm remote and moved far outside of tech markets and bought a house last year.

I have a large amount of anxiety looking around my network at folks who I know are competent and have been out of work for more than 6 months. I'm very glad I didn't follow the trend and stayed at a more stable company.

Interesting. I wonder if the error rate of voice recognition exceeds the error rate of bad channels.
What's the issue with Westworld anyway? It's their own content. It should be the last thing they'd remove from the catalog.
This is why I hate when anyone puts this guy on a pedestal. I can't be certain about his level of knowledge in most things, but with comments like this he regularly demonstrates lack of credibility due to either complete ignorance a highly self-centeric view of the world. Either way, he is not to one be trusted, admired, or emulated.
This is strange, because the example they give about "correlation does not imply causation" being a "frisco" outing you as a non-scientist is very much not supported by the Slate article they claim to have gotten it from. The Slate article provides a very reasonable take on that phrase and in fact implies that we might need more such catchy phrases outing the common fallacies that scientists make and ignore. It gives a great reason why it's such an important phrase -- because forgetting it can lead us to interventions that make things worse rather than better. If saying "correlation does not imply causation" outs you as a non-scientist, then all it's saying is "true" scientists don't give a shit about the implications of their research, nor if people misconstrue their results and use it to justify harmful interventions. Which may be true, I suppose, but it's an extremely cynical take; the phrase is about whether and how we can apply scientific results to better our world, something apparently "true" scientists don't give a shit about?
Build native JVM binaries with Bazel: rules_graalvm
Yup. I got laid off in April, and iirc have had about 3 legit interviews, and conservative guess of 10-15 screening calls. I'm now applying for whatever I can do, like driving a moving truck, but it's tricky with a resume that's overwhelmingly software related. Also considering just switching into a different trade, but as rent and cost of living continue increasing, as well as interest rates being what they are, it's a scary time to take on debt. I'm thankful to have what I'd consider a relatively minimalist set of expenses, but I anticipate being in the negative by the end of the year. Not negative as in I've had to dip into my savings, negative as in I'll be out of money with no prospects if I don't figure something out. I figure if I can land a job that covers rent in that time, it will help stave off that decline. (Canada btw)

Otherwise though I'm very well rested, and my M+ rating in World of Warcraft is better than ever.

Ditched reddit about halfway through 2023 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I study and read actual stuff on my phone now, instead of browsing increasingly crappy content.

I do log on occasionally but it's only ever to ask a specific question or look at a game thread for one of the sport team I follow, and that is only once a week for a couple minutes. Hope I never go back to being a regular redditor.

I'm looking for a Junior or Intern position to break into IT and build my credentials, but am considering returning to school to access those opportunities. If you or anyone you know needs technical support, be it data-entry or legacy system maintenance, drop a line! I'd be thrilled to have a position where I can leverage my experience learning to swim across a full stack, developed over thousands of hours in TTY's and Texinfo manuals, or an excuse to learn something new like C++, Rust, or Elixir, but I'm open to anything that can serve as a jumping-off point for utilizing and expanding my skill-set.

Currently working on a set of portfolio projects, but struggle with a degree of perfectionism and don't think they're ready to be publicized yet; I wanna do 'em justice.

Unsurprising, given the countries' opposing views on nuclear power.
They phased on nuclear too early - other than that they're RAPIDLY moving in the right direction, as is the US.

It isn't a fair comparison as Germany has terrible geography in comparison to the US for energy generation, and certain energy sources like hydropower are very efficient, but not possible to replicate given the environmental impact.

Hell, even solar generation in Germany isn't anywhere as good as the US, where it can build solar parks in the south, meanwhile most of Germany has what, 6 hours of daylight during winter?

To me, it's absurd that the US has literally the best geography of any country in the world and yet isn't coal-free.

It has even a river that divides the country. It's almost as if it was hand-drawn by god. With mountainy regions, hot and cold areas, deserts and tropical areas, America you have no excuse and can do better.
It seems like there is a recession - there seem to be plenty of jobs available, yet no one is hiring. COVID didn't help any and my personal situation complicates the job hunt even more.

So, it may just be my perception is skewed for other reasons than a recession. Either way, it sucks.
Yeah because France uses Nuclear, Germany does not and energy is expensive AF there.
> "69 (which is when I can retire in my country)"

Unless something is rather strange in your country, that is not when you can retire, that is the age you can collect a taxpayer-funded old age pension. Retirement is an amount of money, not an age - if you won the lottery, presumably you would not be conscripted and forced to work until age 69?
That's a scary but realistic thought.
I hope somewhere on the far side of CRDTs, we start trying to model code edits the way humans either do or 'should' do code edits, because treating them as 'anything can change' seems to be the most expensive part of running things like IntelliJ or Webstorm.

I almost always check out a file that actually runs and passes tests, which means I started from a coherent and valid file. Then I break that file, by inserting or removing a concept from it. Most of the time I'm going to end up with a file with a new logical block in it, and all of the other blocks returned to their initial state.

So instead of maybe treating the entire file before the edit as valid, and the entire file after as garbage, we should be trying to preserve as much of the semantics of the original file that we can still locate in the new file, and treat the bit in the middle as the garbage.

You can especially notice this in languages where private helper methods tend to migrate to the bottom of the file instead of up to the top. Autocomplete is basically useless until you start refactoring the new code.

This article is about having an audience of 10+, but we haven't even really solved an audience of 1 or 0, and I suspect at least 80% of the problems are shared between them.
A huge problem with the German coal phase-out by 2038 ("ideally by 2030") is that the law doesn't prohibit exporting coal. So with every coal plant that's shut down, coal becomes cheaper and will be burned by someone else.

We're doomed.

How much leeway do you give her for being out of her element? That's part of the point of these hearings, to put people under extreme pressure and play gotcha.
It has affected me, although I never lost my job and my employer has handled things comparatively well. Several great teammates were laid off and our comp increases have not kept up with inflation. I also get the sense that there are fewer opportunities out there which drives down perks and wages for the whole industry.

Remote: yes

Willing to relocate: yes, to any location in Africa, where i can get the necessary permission to live and work.

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so i am in the process to relocate to Africa.

While i could find a job elsewhere i believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location i am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and i am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I am also open to work for a company anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.

In addition, i want to use part of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. If you want to support this, i would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself.
I tried to negotiate a verbal offer, swapping the signing bonus for base salary, ultimately moving base up not even 7%

I would say this is a symptom of the market. Employers flexing on the big pool
To me that evokes a dimension of disbelief, or suspicion that the data is wrong, separate from what it does or doesn't resemble.

Consider the difference between a human stating "that's an impossible nonsense picture, but if had to describe it then it's a half-Cat and half-Truck abomination" compared to a computer yielding " There is a 50% chance that is a Truck, and a 50% chance that is a Cat."
I'm going to guess Palantir or Anduril. Or similar.

Honestly they have some really interesting-looking roles open. I've also heard great things about working at Anduril and not-so great things about working at Palantir.
