The thing I don't get about ROS is that at no time in its almost 20 year history has anyone, at any point, referred to ROS as having good docs or an easy to use interface. Despite this, it has been pushed on undergraduates and people who find it very confusing and hard to use.

It just seems to me no one seems willing to admit defeat that perhaps ROS is not working out for the purpose of making robotics more accessible.

Like, they spend so much effort on their varied Turtle mascots and all the themes for the many and frequent releases (that never make it easier to work with), I wish they put that kind of energy into the onboarding experience.
Well, an observational-only study proves even less.
Ha, reminds me a bit of my own Shell Bling Ubuntu. [1]

The difference of course is I'm not trying to reskin Ubuntu itself, which is why the scripts don't install e.g. i3 or Sway -- rather, they're designed to make the shell experience itself more addictive to people who aren't already seasoned Unix hands.

Fucking no. Which is why it sucks when that's not a choice we have.
What do you think he means? It's a good question.
Until after you read the privacy policy, you can't know what they intend to do with that information. As a trivial example, they might be handing IP address information to third-parties--hell: the website itself might be hosted by a third-party (or might be behind a CDN provided by a third-party) or use frameworks/fonts hosted by third-parties, even if it isn't as ostentatious as "the website this policy is hosted on has a tracking pixel / login button / ad on it from a third-party"--who can then correlate that IP address with accesses to other websites. Really, depending on your Internet provider, your IP address should be thought of as a direct personal identifier; in my case, I use a residential cable service, so my IP address only changes about once a year, making it trivial to correlate what I do across sites.

No, it never does. There are better containers than dynamic, that do not have its performance drawbacks and have way better UX. The fact that this does not raise an eyebrow is a legitimate concern over the state of the codebase that uses it!

Is that how it works? Can you really "own" IP of something as simple?

I thought anyone could implement their own without having to pay the original.
I think you're focusing on the wrong part of his/her "it's just a file" argument. The actual point wasn't about the file packaging/form, but about the fact that it's just passive - just a function sitting there waiting to be called, not an active agent able to act out on it's curiosity.

Curiosity is a trait of an agentic system where curiously is driving exploration leading to learning.
Sadly Apple always disables that feature.

Like I said, they wanted to make you have to pay, but enforcement got too expensive, otherwise they would have. Also Democrats have a say too.
I agree that they deserve all the credit for the dark patterns in their uninstall script and people should be pissed. I just also think this was an incredibly obvious outcome, and would not have been a problem at all _if Windows hadn't handed them sole authority to uninstall themselves_.

This isn't even a new issue, I remember jokes about how hard McAfee was to uninstall like a decade ago. Adobe deserves hate for abusing a loophole, and Windows deserves hate for creating and maintaining that loophole through who knows how many issues with it.

> Other systems have similarly opaque places where configuration can be left. Look at dot file structures, gconf, et al. on linux. As well as Preferences, extensions, input managers, Library folders on Mac.

I can't speak for Mac because I lack the context, but there are like a dozen ways to deal with this on Linux. strace, iotrace, selinux audit mode, lsof in a loop if you're lazy and don't care too much, there are some tools built for basically this that use fanotify, I think sar might include this with the right config.

It's like moderate difficulty to write a shell script that will print all the files a process accesses, and trivial difficulty to consume the same.

It's also worth pointing out that a filesystem doesn't typically get "bogged down" the same way the registry does; i.e. there being unused config or cache files on the filesystem doesn't typically harm the filesystem in the same way that having useless entries in the Registry does. There's ups and downs to that kind of centralized config service.

> Until we get a system that is entirely containerized, this will continue to be an issue.

You can do this on Linux already for many things, depending on how much you need it to be isolated and what it does.

In the simplest manner, jails or chroot is probably enough to isolate most
applications' filesystems; I'm doubtful they even try to break out of them.

Selinux could be used; first run it in audit mode to generate a list of files it's allowed to access (and record the same), then set it to enforce on the app to prevent other access. AppArmor might also work, not sure.

I believe snaps and/or flatpaks can have their "filesystem" isolated to certain paths.

Docker containers are an option, or just regular old cgroups.

The most basic and common option on Linux is just to install and run it as a separate user. There are certainly ways around that, but most of them would require either giving the installer root access or the kinds of filesystem permissions that malware dreams of.
Nowhere. I just assumed I had been unlucky so far. Appears not.

Any tips on which software-related industries that hasn't happened, if any?
> your mistake was going for ROS 2 which is by any objective metric a complete trainwreck compared to ROS 1

Sometimes you don't have a choice. I prefer to stick with ROS 1 but the org I was working with insisted on running ROS2 for everything. The only thing worse than running ROS2 is running ROS2 installed next to ROS1 and trying to work with both.
Building robots is a practical way to learn robotics.

If you want to start, starting is the thing that matters.

And where you are is the only place you can start.

It's ok if you do things badly.

It's also ok if you don't do anything at all. That just means you like the idea of doing the thing more than the actual doing. Enjoying an activity despite doing it poorly is a clear sign that you are actually interested in doing the activity.

I mean putting wheels and motors on a robotics book might be the best way to start. Good luck.
Maybe it’s time to start thinking about doing to software what has been done with other professional fields: licensing and checking out of various levels. If I have to spend 30 hours or so learning, practicing and demonstrating my knowledge about aircraft instrument procedures before I can attempt that as a pilot in real airspace, maybe it’s not that big of a jump that we’d license different software features, and going outside of those bounds would be subject to loss of license.

Then we’d know this set of language features you’re familiar enough with to hold that cert. It might cut down on the waste and proliferation of useless tech that seems to be strangling the industry because people just want it on their resume.

It would do enough to dissuade companies from hiring non-licensed engineers (hey you could actually call yourself and engineer and not feel like an imposter), and would put a hard liability on things that definitely need it: financial and health data, which seems to be ripe for exploit and disclosure.

One way or another the insanity of the current system needs to stop.
No doubt defense in depth is good, but frankly there's a cost to mpu/mmu (mpu does much the same in terms of memory protection but without the benefit of a dynamic page table...).

There's a cost to jump from memory protected context (user mode in effect) to supervisor mode, usually an interrupt at minimum. In reality there's typically some syscall mechanism which requires argument marshalling, verification, unmarshalling. Lest you catch a TOCTOU issue.

There's a cost to managing the memory regions... both in wasted memory (page aligned/mpu region aligned) and cpu requirements (reprogramming page tables/mpu regions).

None of that is free of charge and those costs add up quickly.
Mind describing the case in bit more of details? I find that I can learn on interesting approaches, especially in cases where I cannot see direct benefits/use case - i.e. here I'm not sure why and even how I'd want docker-compose to be synced - I feel there is a hidden gem in your idea!

Thank you in advance!
Indeed. It would be a glaring omission.
Yeah, HSV viruses in addition to the SARS viruses are well known ME/CFS triggers. It also appears with toxic mold syndrome and heavy metal stuff.

I suppose it’s theoretically possible for someone to get a IQ bump from HSV I think the correlation is more from selection criteria biased on severity.

There does seem to be a non-zero optimal for brain inflammations effect on IQ which could explain why smart kids have are likely to burn out when an existing predisposition to brain inflammation is made worse with age.

In the security space, there are often modes that you can't think of ahead of time that become accessible through chaining a series of seemingly benign access modes. But here are some ideas:

GeoIP location is a real threat, sometimes you can get very precise. Cross-referencing with other services is another threat. It can also help with other targeted attacks, like phishing and exploit attempts. It can aid ISP and other types of surveillance.
To be clear: it was a bad decision both ethically and tactically, and I am not in any way defending it. I am explaining it, in the same way that one might explain why a bridge collapsed. (I will also note that one piece of the backlash somewhat misunderstood things - the profiles were "public" to subscribers, not to the internet at large, insofar as that distinction is meaningful.)

The reason it was a consequence of pivoting is that that decision was made in the context of that pivot. Getting the hypothetical "linkedin for engineers" network up only made sense in the context of existing data, so there was a powerful incentive towards grey/dark-patterns in getting it up and running and, as relevant here, towards motivated reasoning about how it would be received. Or at least, I think it was probably motivated reasoning, because as far as I can tell the surprise at the backlash was sincere (I was not part of the leadership at the time, so this is a retroactive best guess on my part, but one I'm fairly confident in.)

That incentive pressure only existed in the context of a company trying to figure out what to do next in somewhat desperate circumstances, and it's in that sense that it was a consequence.
I was somewhat surprised to not see Michigan mentioned as a "weirdo" in DMV-land. Our DMV-like responsibilities are handled by Secretary of State branch offices.

Just remove the images now, until you have real ones.

I've seen several blogs/sites of decent quality and technical depth start throwing random semi-related generated images into their articles, and it just makes me immediately wary of BS. No images is better than AI-generated ones if you want your site to look like it was made with care and has good information on it.
I don't think HIPAA cares in the slightest about how a company calls themselves. If their normal operations involve working with what law says is a PHI, they gotta be compliant, even if they identify as a construction company (j/k).

Yes, I saw no evidence for the conjecture that delve is coming from Nigerians.

You must be missing something. I've never had my alarm fail. Are you accidentally muting the alarm volume somehow?
A long time ago, on my first Android phone, the alarm used to fail on me.

Since then, all of the failure modes I knew about were fixed. Now I think the only thing that makes an alarm fail on Android is if you run out of battery charge. Of course, that doesn't make me any less paranoid about it.

But anyway, the notifications seem to only get less reliable with time.
I have a similar experience in my state, but almost none of it is privatized. They made it so you can do most of what you need to online, like renewing your vehicle registration or driver's license. They also extricated all driver's license management from the DMV and put it under it's own Driver's License Division. When I have had to go in-person for either of these things, lines haven't been long and the staff have been very helpful.
My guess would be Ubuntu or Fedora and Unity/Gnome 3 respectively. Not that I share the hate, but Gnome 3 is certainly closely designed around some distinct Mac OSX design elements (app overview, handling of workspaces, and such).

Finally, some very pricy but IMO, best of “Mac” software: iA Writer/ Presenter, Omnisuite, Nova (Editor), Things(GTD), Little Snitch.
> Black on white? How often do you see that kind of contrast in real life?

In books. If you have really high-end hardware where you have enough contrast to be painful, turn down your contrast setting. On regular-person devices, grey-on-grey is needlessly hard to read, and there's no way to turn the contrast up without introducing clipping.

Obviously the current situation is crazy, but part of the issue is that the specific asks for a particular developer job are dependent on 1) the stack in use and 2) the org chart at that company.

1 is obvious: if you need JS devs, most hiring managers won't want to hire Pascal devs and hope they figure it out. We can question the wisdom of this, but it is the reality.

2 is less obvious but not super obscure. Depending on how you structure your teams, similar positions at different companies might require more full-stack knowledge, or better people skills, or something else. IME there is little to no standardization here for developer roles, especially compared to something like HR or Accounts Payable, or even very similar IT-adjacent industries like game development.

Fix both of these issues and we would be able to have something more like a formal apprentice/journeyman/master system for various classes of software developer. As it is, each role actually is pretty much totally unique, at least compared to similar roles in other companies (there tends to be more standardization within the same company).
A ten dollar Hetzner with dokku would do fine at this stage.

Totally changes the game for me. Makes it so that you (almost) never want to play the middle square unless your hand is forced.

The limiting factor, as I understand it, is residency slots. Residency slots are, for some reason, principally funded by Medicare, so they are funded by Congress, which has for the past several decades not increased that allocation. Apparently that's starting to change?

In my opinion though, I can't see why the number of doctors should be something that is principally controlled by congress at all, and ideally some other method should come about.

Until that happens though, it's up to Congress to fix this.

Ask HN: How does one get good at System Design interviews?
I can say with confidence that I understand most of the technical knowledge needed to succeed in these interviews, albeit it's not coming from personal experience building such systems but rather from reading books & blogs.

With that being said - when it comes to tackling these interviews - it seems that most of the time I am trying to regurgitate information rather than actually doing some kind of "problem solving".

The other end of this would be to read many System Design Interview Answers and learning those - and then knocking on wood and praying that you're going to get one of those questions.

Neither of these sound very productive.

How would one be able to answer such questions with confidence if they have never build out those systems? And what would be the preparation needed to be able to do that?
Some big cities do such a good job managing this.

I'm a huge fan of North America in general but US + Canadian cities just don't do a good job with this for some reason. Conservative, liberal, big, small; downtown cores all over North America are doing very poorly. I wonder if it's all down to the opioid crisis over here.
