Please take the systemd trolling to Reddit. They likely targeted xz specifically because it’s so widely used but there are dozens of other libraries which are potential candidates for an attack on sshd, much less everything else which has a direct dependency unrelated to systemd (e.g. dpkg).

Rather than distracting, think about how the open source projects you use would handle an attack like this where someone volunteers to help a beleaguered maintainer and spends time helpfully taking on more responsibilities before trying to weaken something.

I love Serra's work, but I'm glad this piece was never built. For artists of his generation, the thoughts/feelings of the Hoi polloi were of little regard. A space was their stage, dam the little people.
If you’re implying that I used incomprehensible initialisms, I’d argue that they’re easily understandable in the context of an alleged state sponsored attack from China.

I think your comment is facetious and adds nothing to the conversation.

Can you explain what writing it off implies in this case?

Or they just write it off I guess..
PRQL has some very nice features, but the syntax also has some not so nice features that you don't see in the examples. There's special parsing rules for parenthesis and newlines, and a special word wrap character is needed at times to disable the rule that treats newlines as the pipe operator.

>It’s kind of what you signed up for when you started running a newspaper or news website.

No. I didn't actually. I probably signed up to produce (hopefully) quality journalism. But I didn't sign up to be an archive for the ages. And I'm not sure how I would even do so after I'm no longer there and have no revenues or employees. I can donate paper copies to the local library but that's basically just kicking the can down the road given that local libraries don't have infinite resources or space to maintain collections and, in fact, routinely sell off books that aren't checked out.

Ohms tells you how much power you lose to resistance given the voltage drop from one end to the other.

The voltage you choose to put across it is a free parameter in the range +/- 1e6 V or so.

As most people would consider "mildly heating the Pacific" to be pointless, you add the resistance of the line to the effective resistance of all the load on the grid and then use P=IV=I^2R=V^2/R to work out how many volts/amps/watts are going though the line.

You actually have to have a number for grid load to turn this into "what percentage are we losing to the transmission line".

(Also: I'm simplifying by assuming DC, because AC resistance depends on the environment and the frequency and that length is long enough to just be an antenna at normal grid frequencies).
Maybe if you're close enough but probably not in the majority of cases

You are distracting from facts with speculations and trolling FUD. I refer to what is known and has happened, you are speculating on what is not known.
They are doing this with hospitals also. Hospitals.

Footnote: Haag's theorem only invalidates naive perturbative approximation. But that's not what physicists actually use; they use it for motivation and then switch to a renormalized perturbative approximation, which is compatible with Haag's theorem.

Your point stands though: mathematicians are indeed able to cope with path integrals. But several of the models -- qed, Higgs, electroweak, basically everything but qcd -- used in particle theory suffer from a fatal flaw, the Landau pole. They can only exist as incomplete approximations to something else.

Three things missing from this article:

* Overhiring adjustment without paying severances or doing official layoffs

* Monkey see, monkey do. Management is highly unoriginal, and loves to copy what others are doing without thought.

* Ego and power. Management loves in office, can't imagine anyone else not wanting to be face to face. Crack the whip, people respond and do what you say, so there's an ego boost

edit

* This article is assuming that management cares about their staff over their own personal priorities. Everyone is replaceable, and there's no reason for any loyalty, whether down or up the chain.
Thank you, very glad to hear that!

EVs shouldn't really look like ICE cars, there's no need for a long bonnet / hood. Logically they should converge more on a cab-forward shape like an MPV / minivan, or even forward-control with the steering rack ahead of the front axle.

So when one EV sedan shares its shape with a different ICE-mimicking EV, it's not because of technical reasons.

The same applies to those that think Postgres does everything, every single feature, that Oracle, SQL Server, DB 2, and co, are able to deliver, in projects where their license costs are kind of irrelevant in the big context of the organization.

I understand that some people prefer to work from home, but there seems to be a narrative that every single one good software engineer is in that camp, and I honestly don’t see where this belief came from… I very much miss the days where I could meet all the junior members of my team in the office and quickly sort out whatever was blocking them etc.

This app I develop for a while, it mostly tailored for my way of thinking, but maybe useful for some body else. The main feature is that every word is a hashtag by default. Yes simple as that, but it took a while do discover this. And this allows you to hop from notes to notes in the same fashion as brain does (at least for some percentage of people).

Doesn't this mean you would have to extract the tarball to even compare it to what's in git? It's not going to be just one hash. Even git-generated tarballs are not guaranteed to be identical for the same commit, I think.

The idea here is ok, but if you can't trust the people making releases of your project then you have critical issues. I know making releases seems like a chore that almost anyone can do, but it is so critical that it must be handled by trusted individuals. Everyone would ideally be trustworthy. But the point is, binary files cannot easily be reviewed and the simplicity of making a release gives people a false sense of security. If you're gonna allow untrusted people to make releases, you might as well give up on everything else you're doing to be secure, because it hardly matters. This is why we need reproducible builds too by the way. The less you have to trust, the better.
adjustable attenuators are well known already. Software inside the drone can dial up the attenuation on the antenna whenever it is under attack.

Also, by using ultra wideband for the comms, there will always be some frequencies that an attack isn't happening on - and sets of notch filters can let those through.
My overriding memories of SourceForge was that it was slow, buggy, and hard to use.

There were mailing lists, issue-trackers, forums, and similar things but each page load took like five seconds and the site was ugly.

I switched from using it after it got a reputation for wrapping downloads with malware, or with "toolbar helpers", etc. I'm sure the projects had to sign up to it at the start, but it always felt abusive.

Back then there was some discovery options, but of course I browsed freshmeat[.net] back in the day to see announcements of new releases, or new projects.

Github won for being useful and awesome, but also SourceForge lost because of self-sabotage, stagnation, and neglect.

In the future: automated `diff` or any other A/B check to see whether or not the tarball matches the source repo (if not, auto-flag with a mismatch warning attribute), is that feasible to implement?
The world isn't flat: countries that have to import fossil fuels will be far more interested in developing this technology even if the resulting product costs more than the imports because of the energy security issues related to being dependent on imports for something as important as energy supply.

In contrast, countries that earn large amounts of revenue from exporting fossil fuels will be much less interested in developing a technology that will end up making their exports worthless if optimized (especially as fossil fuel extraction costs rise).

That's not even mentioning the issue of hidden externalities not directly reflected in the cost of fossil fuels, massive state subsidies to fossil fuel producers that result in lower consumer costs, and so on. The conclusion is that the global energy market isn't some idealized economic model, it's highly controlled and manipulated and ignoring this reality is disingenous at best.

Thanks for the reply. I think that is a common theme - first kid being a bad sleeper makes a second kid much less likely. We're on the tail end of an illness now and he's rarely going for more than 1-2 hours without attention. And he's never regularly slept for more than 45 mins in a nap. It must be a huge difference in quality of life if you know that they're going down for a 2 hour afternoon nap. You can nap yourself, or get a workout in or something. That said, I've heard nightmare stories even at your daughter's age. One friend couple of ours has a 3 yr old who wakes up between 2 and 4 am every night, and needs playing with and reading to.

> I remember sitting on the floor and literally crying

I feel this, and it's still like that for me sometimes. Last night I shouted "Just go to sleep!" at him, I got so frustrated and upset because he kept taking his own dummy out of his mouth and waking himself up. I'm really hoping that once he starts either crawling or walking he'll burn off that energy and sleep better.
Sometimes on HN i see these articles about "return to office" and its a little confusing for me because I dont work in an office job, im a mechanic in a diesel repair shop that likes python and technology.

Can anyone break down why these companies want/need people to come back to the office at all? as far as I know, and from everything ive seen, office workers can do this stuff anywhere (even in our shops waiting room.) meetings are all on zoom and VPN is a thing.

Office workers dont "make" anything. i know that sounds rude but i cant think of another way to describe it...office workers "work" is all between their ears? I have to be in the shop, dressed in my PPE and work boots, and ready to fix stuff that actually exists. If i work from home, trucks dont get repaired because thats what i do. When some office tech worker logs in, everything they make is already in front of them...its everywhere and nowhere all at once.

Just let them all work from home and be done with it. less road congestion means lower prices to ship stuff in the USA because trucks dont wait as long or waste as much fuel idling in gridlock. ambulance response times improve, carbon emissions go down...i mean the whole damn thing seems like a real no-brainer.

The rule aught to be: If the heaviest thing you pick up in your workday is a coffee pot, then stay home.

EDIT: so the "social" aspect isnt something i considered because ive never had a zoom that ever lasted more than 5 minutes (i had to talk to a doctor during covid i think.) Im sorry i didnt consider it before, but is work really a great place to do social stuff? as an example, my jobs loud and busy. typically im shouting at my coworkers or using a radio. at the end of the day we're all a little tired. sometimes there are tasks like millwrighting or crane work that cannot include a social aspect for safety reasons.

but! twice a year we put down the air tools and meet up at a local park. our foreman is a decorated BBQ enthusiast, so he cooks up a mess of food to eat. His daughter is an 'aspiring' DJ so she picks the tunes and takes care of requests. We all sit around a rented out park shade and shoot the breeze over beers and bratwurst. its really great. Can/do office workers do that?
With 12 years experience as a UX designer, I’ve found that the best UX designers I’ve worked with usually had backgrounds and careers from a non-UX field before UX. Often academic backgrounds, such as anthropology, for example, and had at least some graduate degree. They understood actual primary research and applied it to their design process, and the results spoke for themselves.

Once UX became something you could enter from undergraduate studies (guilty as charged), or no degree at all, you end up with a lot of UX designers who lack those skills. And unless you are lucky enough to work with people who have those skills (as I was) or are a particularly motivated autodidact, you end up with articles like this.
Java already did it in the past, that is why we have the notion of green threads versus red threads.

What virtual threads bring to the table is that now they are both officially supported, with APIs for both cases, while previously it was an implementation detail of each JVM how threading was actually done.
At this point there are three competing 'cross-platform' VM technologies (Java, WASM, and .NET - the latter of which is an ISO standard). What is the point?
Many quality Mac apps are not free. Fair enough IMO, then we know the developer gets some income for their work and hopefully stay motivated to refine the application.

It's not obscure for the scientists working in this field, so what you deem moral or not for your teenager is irrelevant.

Why are you the one trying to cancel the opinions of these female scientists?

Paint.Net is an example of how to make great apps. Very focused, fast and easy to use.

RTO mandates are just another manifestation of the antagonism that exists between the working and management classes.

>even up until 2010, many companies were still hosting code on SVN

I spent part of today choreographing the first part of a massive 30,000,000 LOC SVN to Git migration for my employer with ESR's (phenomenal!) `reposurgeon`. Never underestimate the long tail of database usage, even code data. (Any port in a storm, of course, I'll take Subversion than no VC at all any day of the week.)

Learning this aggressively and increasingly niche skillset is why I wrote https://andrew-quinn.me/reposurgeon/ earlier this week. I had trouble even finding SVN repos in the wild to practice conversion on.
My pet peeve is UX designers who design GUIs on large color-corrected desktop displays with no light reflecting on the screen, often with hairline fonts. Then the application will be run on an embedded PC with a small low-contrast touchscreen at an awkward angle and sunlight behind the user's back.

I have some questions.

1) Are there no legit code reviews from contributors like this? How did this get accepted into main repos while flying under the radar? When I do a code review, I try to understand the actual code I'm reviewing. Call me crazy I guess!

2) Is there no legal recourse to this? We're talking about someone who managed to root any linux server that stays up-to-date.
That may be. I've moved on and it's not like I'm going to be here forever anyway. And my hosting company probably won't be either.

I've always valued equity at zero and am clear I want cash. Most companies have obliged and some of my equity has panned out. That's the point of job-hopping -- to acquire as much equity as you can. In my case, I've bounced around many AI startups and have my hands in many pots. You gotta be smart about how this works. If there's a certain industry you think will do well, doing a year or two at all the startups in the field gives you access to all the private startup equity. One of them will succeed almost certainly, even if most will not.
Yeah there are clearly tradeoffs, neither side's zealots seem willing to admit it though cause the stakes are so high so the conversation remains fundamentally dishonest.
