What I took away from this article is that many low-income men have no real interest in being fathers or raising children. Yet, they tend to produce children anyway.

We should focus on making birth control more accessible, instead of trying to make people take responsibility for raising children they obviously don't want.

That guy who spends all his money on weed and booze while his kids go hungry? He should have gotten a vasectomy. We need to be asking why he didn't- was it a lack of education, or was the procedure too expensive?

A simple syntax for gantt charts is a nice enough idea. But I don't understand:

1. What that has to do with markdown? I mean, that syntax isn't markdown nor does it require anything markdown-related to render AFAICT.

2. What mermaid is; the link itself doesn't explain it. I think this does, sort of:

https://mermaid.js.org/intro/

but then - how does this relate to graphviz, or gnuplot? I'm missing that information.

3. Can I get something nice-and-compilable, not JS, for rendering these gantt charts into SVGs or what-not?

All excellent points, a fair assessment of the situation.

I was a nurse in the Learning Disability field for 17 years, and cared for many people on the spectrum and dealt their parents.

You know what you kind of hit the nail on the head there -- that narrative has really been pushed by a lot of sources and that kills internal drive if you think all your efforts are for naught.

I don't believe that narrative though.

Also your comment too late for exponential asset growth -- that never stops (see crypto, AI Stocks, tooling stocks, etc). The cycle always continues.
Yeah, desktop Linux more obscure and generally used by more technically inclined people so malware is less common, but out of the box its just as vulnerable to viruses as Windows or any other OS that runs user-installed applications with no sandbox.

If we were _really_ serious about endpoint security we'd be pushing business users towards operating systems with more modern security architectures, like Android, iOS or Chrome OS. That would be a lot of work though due to the fact that most legacy software is not compatible with those systems.
I’m not fond of crypto though, so I’ll be more interested with other approaches.

> I was wondering whether this debacle might push them to have a roadmap for restricting kernel drivers in favor of the Windows eBPF implementation which has been approaching production grade.

Though as this article and its Red Hat respondents admit eBPF isn't a perfect solution either because it is still a somewhat Turing Complete scripting language and bad vendors will find ways to get kernel panics out of eBPF scripts no matter how hardened the eBPF driver gets.

Microsoft is probably in a good position to use this debacle to push more vendors to Windows' implementation of eBPF. It doesn't solve the crisis that a vendor like CrowdStrike exists that is "beloved" by Enterprise Solution Architects for all the compliance boxes it checks, but is run as a terrible software company with bad standards and has multiple "accidents" in recent weeks.

Related, we at Nunet use a GitlabCI Template to render SVGs from Mermaid files so we can reuse them: https://gitlab.com/nunet/gitlab-ci/templates/-/tree/main/mer...

Also, it will likely only improve. I expect that none of us here will be able to get a 10/10 on similar tests a decade from now. Or much sooner.
> From my understanding the CS driver lives in the kernel space and parses configs/applications downloaded in the user space. Hence the system even does a BSOD.

That's my understanding as well, but not quite the same as

> execute arbitrary code on the kernel level without any checks

At least for me, when we talk about kernel-level ACE, it's something like libcapcom[0], which allowed executing arbitrary unsigned code in the kernel.

Here, the driver can only execute the code present within itself, which was signed by Microsoft. The configuration itself isn't signed by microsoft, but the config isn't code (at least, as far as I can tell - I see some people claiming the CS-0000.sys files are essentially bytecode, but have yet to see conclusive proof of this).

Now, we could argue that it's weird that Microsoft signed a buggy driver, and MS should do better qualification of third-party drivers. But in practice, MS doesn't really vet driver quality. From what I can tell, the driver signing is mostly there so they can easily attribute provenance of drivers, and revoke the certs if it ends up in the hands of malicious actors.

I had a very weird experience with Jellyfins team.

Recently I decided to give the app a try, and it worked fine, but I have serious issues with their media scanner (nested structures, a lot of misc content like interviews, etc.).

Years ago I wrote my own script that scans my drives, downloads imdb database, and 100% accurately matches media to imdb-id and fetches all auxilary data like cast, synopsis, posters, and so on.

I asked on their forum if I could use that to somehow bypass the scanner, prepopulate the database or write my own scanner based on theirs.

I was repedatley said it would be impossible and to not touch the code. "Seriously, do not do this" said one of the team members.
I mean I do understand they were trying to save me a lot of headache, but at the same time they're running a campaign for developers.

It's a bunch of small things: command line flags, whether a command line tool is even present at all, compiler built-ins / differences in behavior, headers possibly being in different places, compiler support for various language standards and more.

Even to this day, it's not uncommon to find libraries that won't compile with one of GCC, clang, etc. or even the same compiler but Linux vs MacOS.

It was even worse in ye olde times before package managers, I'm assuming.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that System V and BSD are two of the major families.

Both influenced Unix-like OSes far and wide, such as SysV style init scripts in certain Linux distros, MacOS being derived partly from BSD, Solaris being a continuation of SysV IIRC, and more.

There was a rough standardization in where certain things could be found, command line flags, etc.

I never assumed that driver signing was any kind of indicator of quality. It simply says "this is the Crowdstrike driver, it has not been modified"

Maybe I'm wrong and Microsoft does some QA on drivers before they are signed?
Do all seven work at the same place? The PhDs I know mostly work a M-W/9-5 schedule with the occasional late night or weekend day when it's crunch time for a conference deadline. Plenty of time left for family, and they all have families. But that's dependent on departmental culture, and there can be a lot of variance.

Not a complete answer to your question, but Mermaid is a plain-text diagram format which, while far from perfect, is supported by Github. So if you're looking to include a simple chart in your Readme or Markdown docs, it's a good choice.

Ask HN: What the Deal with Sam Altman
I've done hours and hours of research on this man but still couldn't find a single tangible accomplishment of his.

PG seem to have taken a liking to a teenage sam altman and elevated him into stratosphere with vacuous, and honestly very ridiculous, praises like he is 'micheal jordan of listening' or that he knew altman was the next bill gates within 3 minutes of meeting the teenager.

How in the world does a college dropout who hasn't built a thing in his life get 4% stake in stripe for $15k . I always thought PG essays were just boring but they now seem wildly hypocritical for all the huffing and puffing about 'meritocracy'.

Whole thing is really bizzare (and creepy) to me. Why is SV ,and general public now, seem so enamored with this man. I don't get it.
I think that the point is to be easy to be changed, since Mermaid's first use case is to be used in building diagrams/graphs with data fetched at runtime like telemetry or finances data. I guess you can probably use Mermaid and take the resulting html and add it to the resulting document if you really want.

Mb is unambiguously megabits but it's a lost battle at this point. This thread includes so far MiB, MB, Mb, mb all to mean megabyte.

It's often easy to find what's meant from context but sometimes we're discussing network stuff and it becomes hard to figure out what people mean by "gb" or "mb" or other frankenunits because the context refers both to data in transit and at rest. It's almost certainly not gram bit and milli bit which helps narrow it down...

I was telling my wife about the loss of religion and how that leaves many people without without purpose. Religion is often a precursor to the cultural norms we live, without even being aware of. Sunday is for resting in the west for example.

To find a reason to keep living is very hard and may entail an acceptance that all is for nothing and being content with that. Many people cannot walk that path or have deep anxiety before even being able to confront those questions on a personal way. Religion fills that gap, until the person wants to move forth.

In which case, does being off a few milli actually matter that much in any significant number of those distributed instances? No precision is exact, so near enough, should generally be near enough for most things.

Keep in mind they don't just allow any old code to execute in the kernel.

The fault here is entirely with Crowdstrike.

Ask HN: Job Sites That Don't Trick You About "WFH" Roles
I'm trying to find a proper list of WFH (Work from Home) jobs, specifically in Australia.

I've used https://seek.com.au however I'm finding that it's increasingly normal for employers to advertise their jobs as "Hybrid WFH" with some being as bad as 1-day per week out of the office.

I think it's misleading to have an option for "Location" as "Work from Home" then allow ads that don't fit this description.

If I wanted a "Hybrid WFH" selection, I would happily choose that.

It's like these companies think gaming the system will magically stop employees from reading job adverts.

Personally I'm just doing it out of curiosity - I've been in a WFH role for a while now and think a hybrid option might be better overall for mental / physical health but I'm still annoyed at this weird culture of false-advertising roles to find candidates.

#1. mermaid is a syntax for diagrams that is markdown native, in that it is designed to be fit well in MD, and shares goals like ex. a progressive upgrade from text to render that is readable in either format

#2. Graphviz and gnuplot also render diagrams

#3. Sort of like asking if you can get a Markdown renderer in not JS: most direct answer is yes. If the Q is more "can Mermaid be rendered as SVG?", yes, the render format is SVG
Maybe, it's like art and math.
