I just went to Amazon and found what's advertised as "mp3" for a recent Taylor Swift album.
That could be true. But all of the ones I've seen in nature documentaries lay their eggs at approximately the same time which probably were the most interesting to document for laypeople not representative of all these. The four years number popped in my head from this one example, where she tended her eggs for four years but lives about seven years total. Given the length of brooding I would assume these do NOT lay their eggs at the same time like some sort of cicada multiple years cycle. The counter argument is these are solitary animals, so we would need to find a social version of these that do not lay their eggs at the same time, I'd like to see that in the next nature documentary!

Ask HN: Do you feel burnout from being less hands on as you become more senior?
I work in a 50-60 person SaaS company and I'm taking on a head of engineering role. At this level, my whole day is spent writing out plans and proposals, responding to communications, checking on projects, connecting resources, etc. On rare occasions, if I have time, I might actually build something small.

I know my job carries value. If done right, the whole company benefits by having clarity in what to do. The whole company is doing so much more than I could do as an individual and they can progress without doubts because of the groundwork I've helped lay down.

So while I don't have a feeling of being worthless, it all feels empty at the same time. I miss being a person who actually does stuff instead of directing it. I don't have long work hours. I receive a good salary. But I still feel like I'm heading towards burnout. It's work I don't want to do anymore. Does anyone else feel this in senior roles? What do you do at this point? Is there a limit I can go in my career with this feeling? Advice and shared experiences are appreciated here.
I feel similarly - there is a real dystopian feeling, for instance using UK as an example, of every other shop on high street being a shiny colorful betting shop. Seems like more and more the surviving/thriving business are vice related and it is creepy and depressing, to me at least.

What is the context for submitting this on HN? Assume I’ve been living under a rock.
It doesn't work here because there's a mismatch between the format and the intended message.

She forgot his birthday but scrambles and buys him a 7-eleven hot dog - funny, self-aware. 7-Eleven doesn't actually believe the hot dog is a very good birthday gift.

She forgot his birthday but scrambles and buys him a Rolex - materialist, not for everyone but will appeal to some. Not very funny.

She forgot his birthday but scrambles and buys him a cheap fake Rolex - not that funny, just an ad for counterfeits?

Does Apple think that having an AI slap together some images without your involvement is a thoughtful birthday gift? Then why show it so clearly as insincere and low-effort?

Or do they think it's a bad gift? Then what are they trying to say about their product? We assume they want to be perceived as a premium brand.

The ad could have just played it straight. Like, couple sits in couch, "Remember when we were at Ibiza?" "Let's relive those moments" (types "Ibiza vacation" into phone) (music swells as couple looks at phone screen with fake smiles)

But that would be tacky. Funny at their expense. So they add a twist, make it so they are in on the joke. But now the messaging isn't coherent. Is the product good? bad? premium? cheap?

This reminds me of how in the 18th century, captains in the Royal Navy wouldn't call to abandon ship because that would have career-ending consequences. So there were cases like HMS Tribune in 1797, where it is claimed that only 12 of the 240 seamen survived because the captain Scory Barker, even having ample time, was effectively prohibited from abandoning the vessel. Four survivors who escaped early were seen as mutineers, whereas the 228 that died and 8 that survived on the ship have been heavily commended in history for their discipline.

Modern practices are different, there is now a lot more emphasis in not needlessly risking lives, especially when abandoning vessels is done by the book. But dying in the line of duty is still weirdly seen as good leadership - call it bravery, honor, commitment to the cause, gumption, etc. We mostly praise those who do, rarely criticize them for maybe sacrificing themselves and others unnecessarily. But I would think we wouldn't threaten people who don't put themselves at unreasonable risk with career consequences anymore. I guess this ejection is an example of modern marines acting with 18th century principles.

P.S. The historical record on Royal Navy's informal code of conduct in the 18th century is a bit limited. I think what I say is not disputed by many historians, but there is some room for debate.
I fail to see though how we can do this correctly either way though.

Option 1: full ban on alcohol and hard drugs because we have safety nets in place - basically similar to hard drugs today, but the bans are impossible to enforce and society is still constantly getting f*ked (take a walk anywhere in SF).

Option 2: libertarian style, no bans on any vice but personal responsibility is in full force, no bailouts for those who get in trouble. Problem is the addicts will still make a huge mess of things for the rest of us and they won’t clean up those “messes” themselves so we either put up with massive crime and addicts everywhere… or grudgingly pay for them anyway.

I’m not saying any of this to rebut and say you’re wrong, rather, I agree with you that those would be the ideal combos but I don’t know how we could make them a reality.

The threading approach is roughly:

1. Start a thread

2. That thread starts a child process and signals "started" by storing its PID somewhere globally-visible (and hopefully atomic/lock-protected).

3. The thread then blocks in wait(2), taking advantage of its non-main-thread-ness to avoid some signals and optionally masking/ignoring some more.

4. When the process exits, the thread can write exitstatus/"completed" to the globally-visible state next to PID. The thread then exits.

3. External observers wait for the process with a timeout by attempting to join the thread with a timeout. If the timeout occurs, they can access the globally-visible PID and send a signal to it.

This is missing from the article (EDIT: it has since been added, thanks!). That doesn't mean it's a good solution on many platforms. It's more costly in resources (thread stack), more code than most of the listed options, vulnerable to PID-reuse problems that can cause a killsignal to go to the wrong process, likely plays poorly with spawning methods that request a SIGCHLD be sent to the parent on exit (and plays poorly with signals in general if any customization is needed there), and is probably often slower than most of TFA's alternatives as well, both due to syscall count and pessimal thread/scheduler switching conditions. Additionally, it multiplexes/composes to large numbers of processes poorly and with a high resource cost.

EDIT: Golang's version of this is less bad than described above, but not perfect. Go's spawning infrastructure mitigates resource cost (goroutines/segmented stacks are not as heavy as threads), is vulnerable to PID-reuse (as are most platforms' operations in this area), addresses the SIGCHLD risk through the runtime and signal channels, and mitigates slowness with a very good scheduler. For multiplexing, I would assume (but I have not verified) that the Go runtime is internally using pidfds/kqueue where supported. Where not supported, I would assume Go is internally tracking spawn requests through its stdlib, handling SIGCHLD, and has a single global routine calling wait(2) without a specific PID, waking goroutines waiting on a watched PID when it comes out of the call to wait(2).
> Same goes for "authorization" and "authentication" in OAuth and OIDC. In the normal sense, authentication deals with establishing the user's identity, while authorization determines what resources the user can access.

"Authorization", in the context of OAuth 2.0, means whether a third-party application is "authorized" to take actions on-behalf-of a resource-owner on some resource server. And, if the answer is yes, what is the "scope" of this "authorization".

From the OAuth 2.0 RFC's abstract[1]:

The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables a third-party
application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on
behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction
between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the
third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf. ...

It's very clear that OAuth2 is all about third-party application and their access to a "resource owner" resource. As far as users and their access to their own resources are concerned, they're "resource owner" and they've all the "power" to do whatever they like (with their own resources–off course).

For example, in the early days of Facebook, FarmVille games needed user permission in order to post on users Facebook walls and/or message users' friends if something interesting happened in the FarmVille while users are/were playing. And this is just one funny example to get across my point; there're many use-cases where it's super useful if users can grant a third-party application permission so that they can do some useful work (whatever it happens to be) on their behalf.

> Better examples for proper authorization standards are declarative authorization specification DSLs like XACML ...

I'm very well familiar with XACML and similar standards about access control policies; actually, I've build/developed an ABAC-based access-control service using XACML-like spec. for one of our customer-facing business application (in the recent past).

Yes, XACML and similar specs. are good for some use-cases for user access / "authorization" (based on business needs and threat-model). Yet, I'm not sure anyone would recommend them for third-party application authorization. Off-course, it's not impossible and it can be done; however, I doubt anyone would recommend doing it when simpler solutions are available–unless there is a strong business case from the business risks and security (threat-modelling) point-of-view.

Most commercially written software is closer to manufacturing than art. That doesn't satisfy everyone, I know, and I'm not here to judge people who don't want to work on integration #5 for widget #3 in order to unblock a million dollar contract from Foobar Inc. But that's where a substantial majority of the market demand for software development lies. The MBAs are paid precisely for their ability to channel the creative process of software development into the manufacturing slots where it's needed.

(Even art, of course, is in practice pretty close to this. MBAs are paying you to sublimate your creative energies into a snappy video on how to sign up for Robinhood or whatever, and there are substantial business constraints on both its content and delivery date.)
vcpkg and Conan support could probably be added quite easily, but since I kind of just made this for one of my personal projects, I most likely won't work on it.

Now building on AWS inside is heavily emphasized, but just a few years ago most services were built with internal systems that are very different. Some solutions (multi account/cellular architecture for example) seemed to come from dog fooding heavily, but supporting services (like account SSO for handling many accounts) are still very different from the publicly available equivalents.
Server hosts are already using vsphere or some other products. The produced being made free are intended for desktop usage.
Not these fighter planes. They literally need both the propulsion and an active flight computer to fly stably. Without the flight computer, they are uncontrollable. Think balancing a pencil on your finger - if your finger is immobilized or loses control, that pencil will fall almost immediately. The plane's controls are much more complex and unforgiving.

And without propulsion, they are just flying rocks. No gliding.

There are legitimate criticisms, including of the one-design-for-all concept, which we can see is not being repeated; sustainment issues, including maintenance; readiness; relevance in the era of missiles with longer range than F-35 fuel tanks, pushing bases and carriers out of range.

Woolly mammoths look cool. In all honesty, I think that's the main reason.

De-extinguishing species is interesting as a scientific exercise and will probably lead to advances in fields of genetic engineering, medicine, the history of life, etc...

We don't have to do it with woolly mammoth, we probably could do it with some other unremarkable specie. But doing it with woolly mammoths will certainly attract a lot more attention and therefore money for the researchers.

There is also an advantage of doing it with a large animal we have already killed off. That is that if we lose control of our (re)creation, we can easily kill it off again, assuming it doesn't happen naturally. It is better than to de-extinguish a specie that is small and particularly well suited to human environments, we have already made enough of a mess with existing invasive species that we don't want to bring new ones.
Guns were discussed, but that fucker is just so quick. I had a long pole with a sharp end, and I positioned it at the very edge of his hole, and I waited patiently, quietly. Sure enough he popped his head up and I shoved the stick as fast as possible. It was just a centimeter from his face and he still managed to dodge it. I ended up with a cut on my hand from the end of the pole. A shotgun probably wouldn't be a great idea in my back yard, no doubt someone would call the cops.
I don't see the problem here: it looks like it's working extremely well, and in fact doing you a huge favor, if it redirects you from Kanye West to anything else. Why on earth would you want to listen to Kanye West when you can listen to Depeche Mode instead?

Yes. My point is that there isn't a consistent, reliable method to define, measure, and communicate that. And without such a method, authorities like the CDC can't make recommendations that may affect life and health.
Early on there was a lot more salvaging and makeshift components, and "I know someone who knows someone". Nowadays, though, I think the channel gets more than enough support that the answer is "I spent $12k and bought it".
> Cross-site scripting (XSS) safe front-end frameworks like React are good because they prevent XSS. XSS is bad because it allows an attacker to take over your active web session and do horrible things

What? React is not "Cross-site scripting safe"

Many security controls do require more than a 2-3 sentence explanation. Trying to condense your response in such a way strips out any sort of nuance such as examples of how react can be susceptible to XSS. Security is a subset of engineering and security decisions often require a trade off. React does protect against some classes of attacks, but also exposes applications to new ones.
