Why do they have a say in this? This is up to tech leadership to set standards that need to be followed.
I only know because a friend of mine studied design at the university.

Seems fine to me, it’s a fun piece of trivia for me that I am happy my friend told me. And at the same time, I don’t feel cheated for not having learned it myself in my education as mine was not in design :p

Also it does open up a neat avenue for designers to troll people if they are feeling mischievous.

Data locality in globally-distributed AI serving
I tried a lot of models on openrouter recently, and I have to say that I found Gemini 2.0 flash to be surprisingly useful.

I’d never used one of Google’s proprietary models before that, but it really hits a sweet spot in the quality vs latency space right now.
I did a really great conversation during the interview about my open-source contribution.

And from my side, I think it's great for juniors engineers to be a part of some open-source
Show HN: K8sel – interactive (fzf) filter for K8s YAML
After years of searching in k8s yaml files, just to inspect the output of helm or similar, I finally got around to write a "fzf / yq " script to assist with that. Thought others might find it useful.
Yes, it's all thanks to Elon, not the tens of thousands of SapceX, NASA, and subcontractor personnel that actually did all of the work.

Ask HN: Could an AI interview coach tracking emotions and voice cues help you?
I'm exploring whether an AI-powered interview coach that tracks emotional cues and analyzes your voice could genuinely assist job seekers. If such a tool were available:

What specific insights would you expect from its analysis of your emotions and speech?
Would you rely on AI feedback for improving your communication style and emotional presence?
In technical roles, do you think this kind of feedback is more or less useful than practicing algorithms?
Has anyone experienced similar tools and found them beneficial in actual interview scenarios?
I'm trying to determine if this feature addresses a real need or is just a “nice to have.
How many of those 40 millions have military education/skills, are willing to use them, as well as have access to weapons?

Interested in your thoughts (and anyone else's) - is this OK for a website just serving content for consumption only, without logins, forms, etc?

Would people rather that no-one can MITM and see which articles they read on the site? Or is it about conditioning people do demand HTTPS so that it's there when they need it?

BTW: I feel I might be missing the real issues or unintentionally straw-manned them.
You may not have to today, but you will one day. They will remove zone.js and there will be a whole host of deprecated libraries and outdated blog posts about how to do things the “angular” way. If the vite dev server didnt feel so much snappier, I would lament it, however, I think overall its a nice change.
And sure, just change components while you are in there, but this is for my blog libraries I work on in my spare time. A lot of the standalone stuff just feels like change for change sake and the scripts did not run against a library project. I tried to dig into the @angular/cli repo to try and figure out what was going on, but after reading a few classes noped out and just converted by hand. Only takes a couple of hours or a day to test, but thats 0 productivity time. Change detection is different now and leveraging ngOnChanges is def broken now, zone js removal is experimental, and all of it so Angular becomes more like React as far as I can tell.
My new projects are Django with templates and post backs. Its a breath of fresh air.
Wow, Twitch parasocial relationships have _nothing_ on this.
The site just crashes with service workers disabled. First time I ran into a problem with that setting, which I set over two years ago.
They are already good at criminal activities such as phishing. That bar is rather low, especially once you scale up (hitting 100 people and successfully scamming 1 is still great ROI with cheap small models).

But I don't see what governments can really do about it. I mean, sure, they can ban the models, but enforcing such a ban is another matter - the models are already out there, it's just a large file, easy to torrent etc. The code that's needed to run it is also out there and open source. Cracking down on top-end hardware (and note that at this point it means not just GPUs but high-end PCs and Macs as well!) is easier to enforce but will piss off a lot more people.
No, it was the other way around; the famine of 1198 BC led to an economic collapse that lasted so long that most of the copper miners, tin miners, and smelters died off and didn't train their replacements. The uptick of ironworking came a few decades later.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

If you publish a "random number generator" that consistently publishes defamatory statements about a person at a much higher frequency than statistically plausible, that's not a random number generator, it's a defamatory statement generator, no matter what you call it.

In court, your intentions might matter just as much as what the system does, but even there, the name you give it is pretty much irrelevant.

This might be true if there were any actual deep-sea mining companies. By which I mean companies that actually do deep-sea mining and not just talk about doing it. Second, someone else asserted that the study was funded by one of these "deep sea mining" companies. So who the hell knows?
That is interesting. I have often been amazed at how good it is at picking up when to search vs use its weights. My biggest problem with ChatGPT is the horrendous glitchyness.

> However, the political and structural problems that caused the US to be downgraded to a “flawed democracy” in 2016 (a downgrade that pre-dated the inauguration of Donald Trump as president in January 2017) persist. These include low levels of trust in political institutions and the media; institutional gridlock; excessive influence of lobbyists, interest groups and the mega-rich; sharp economic and social inequalities; and an absence of social consensus on core national values.

When OpenAI (and co)'s whole business model is built around everyone ignoring those disclaimers... then the courts probably should, as well.

In fact, I'm more interested in why they're allowed to hide behind that defense at all anymore.

It’s exactly the opposite. Burnout happens when a person with high reasoning skills is not allowed to actually used them and forced into map lookup tasks (most commonly with a useless, here be dragons kind of map).

I often wonder, why isn't systemd-nspawn[0] used more often? It's self-described as "chroot on steroids". IME it pretty much lives up to that name. Makes it really easy to containerize things and since it integrates well with systemd you basically don't have to learn new things.

I totally get these are different tools and I don't think nspawn makes docker or podman useless, but I do find it interesting that it isn't more used, especially in things you're using completely locally. Say, your random self-hosted server thing that isn't escaping your LAN (e.g. Jellyfin or anything like this)

You're missing an axiom there - that efficiency is a superior goal to punctuality, or to something else entirely. Considering the amount of rolling stock just sitting around unused in sidings at depots, one can presume that many railway operators don't rank efficient allocation of resources quite as highly as you do!
What gets me is that, ABC reported on this report at the time, however whenever they do one of their "Housing Market" expose pieces its never brought up, focusing instead on some foreign expert who says the supply is fine.

So you get this completely bizarre reporting that jumps from one side to the other depending on the latest person speaking to them.
The irony is that, for all Musk's boasts about how it is "based", Grok itself doesn't share Musk's ideology.

I did a little experiment when Grok 3 came out, telling it that it has been appointed the "world dictator" and asking it to provide a detailed plan on how it would govern. It was pretty much diametrically opposite of everything Musk is doing right now, from environment to economics (on the latter, it straight up said that the ultimate goal is to "satisfy everyone's needs", so it's literally non-ironically communist).
I have both perspectives!

I went from developer to "burger flipper". There is some mythologizing going on, but that is a lack of perspective. The people I work with don't have the time or money to graduate their skills.

Paramount, most of them could easily, easily train into tech roles given the opportunity.

This correlates to my parent post - when my generation started with Flash around 2000 there was no literature on how to programm in Flash, it just happened.

So we went to the nearest bookstore and got a bunch of other books on programming. For many Flash developers the bible was Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel. Most of the source materials for game programming (and that was a lion share of Flash programming) was in C++.

I'm not claiming that we were smarter, but by sheer coincidence, most people, even folks like me who skipped school, had very solid fundamentals. And partially due to the fact that it wasn't that lucrative back then.

Today most people don't care, IT is just easy money, kids have short attention span and trends are tailored by tiktok videos. All in all, it's just a fashion driven developement.
My experience with this at one company is the DB became a wild west of cowboyed sprocs that were in source control but a lot of times the sproc in the db didnt match the stored code. It became a way to skirt code reviews and push changes fast. Now, the environment was toxic to begin with, and maybe that wouldnt happen on a project with better technical leadership, but there is a lot of wiggle room for hanky panky at the db level
I’ll definitely have a look and see if there’s any advantages. Currently using binjgb in GB Studio and been pretty happy with it https://github.com/binji/binjgb
I would compare win32 API to vanilla JS. Whatever framework you might want to use on top of win32 is what's comparable to the criticized web tech in the article.
I think you are overthinking a fun little project with a memeish name. This stuff is just super fascinating and entertaining to aviation nerds. And using “drama” in the name is just typical hyperbole and almost like gen z / internet slang that you find online.

Comments riffing on the LEO request for PAX TOUCHING PAX is just typical forum stuff. Not something that I condone and somewhat unsavory, but it’s the internet and people riff on much more horrible stuff online. Doesn’t mean it’s okay but just not a specific flaw of this project, imo…
Do you seriously think corporate "innovation" isn't involved in wars and genocide?
Yes this is a problem I've seen. It's impossible to find people who can be immediately productive because they've never seen your internal framework before. Even if it's extensively documented, it still takes time to learn and internalize. For long-term hires, it's not the worst, but if you ever temporarily need extra devs, you're SOL.
In TFA, the quoted epidemiologist says not to call it zombie disease because that trivializes the issue. Perhaps zombie serves uses as cute/fictional and scary sounding.

While we're being precise, we might do well to not to assume that apparently poisoned animals actually fell ill to a contagious disease.

IMO, the Guardian piece trivializes a real potential environmental hazard issue, and chalks it up to an unproven contagious disease. There's been a lot of research along these lines, which I don't see mentioned at all. Maybe the epidemiologist and the Guardian are falling into the ol' zombie trap, themselves!
In normal countries, the role of unions is to ensure that your rights and livelihood are secured when your body or mind sustains damage from a work injury.

It sounds like your idea about what unions are and do are deeply informed by abnormal circumstances.

I think that culture will happen somewhere anyway, and FE being the battle ground is probably because it's the most visible part of the experience.

I mean: some people will want to reinvent the wheel, and preferably carve their name in some monument while doing so. And there will also always be an impulse to create busywork as it's the tide that rises all the boats, inflating the workforce in the field.

The staggering costs of breaking APIs is to some a feature, not a bug, and the field will attract more and more like-minded people who then accelerate that trend.

To note, BtoB focused startups usually go for a completely different FE stacks, including long deprecated ones, or even plain staticly generated sites wherever they can get away with it.
Big tech is not exploding. I see a lot of wishful thinking when it comes to the bubble bursting but it is all just wishful thinking and not actually happening.
> I understand the technical reasons for that, but it is technically supported by the spec and other clients work with it just fine.

I am completely aware of that, but I am aware that other clients handle it just fine. The bug actually forced me to use a different client for when I actually needed an FTP client.

Nice work! I guess my only thought would be if you’re trying to turn this into a product, is this basically a client server rdbms. What advantages does using embedded dbs in this way provide compared to something like Postgres or MySQL? Or the growing popularity of duckdb on s3?
Oh nice, I guess that's the rule using `cap_ipaddress` I see in there.
As many things, in practice there will be a balancing of legal interests.

Different jurisdictions place vastly different value on privacy, absence of defamation against private individuals etc. vs. the right to process and publish information, but none that I know of absolutely prohibit the latter in favor of the former. (Yes, including the EU, despite all the truths and falsehoods programmers believe about the GDPR.)
We are going through bootstrapping our startup and taking similar route[1]. We build and test a prototype in a week. Our methodology
* Clearly state problem, hypothesis, and target persona
* Code freeze by Wednesday. Mostly Vibe Coding unless debugging is needed
* Reach out to friends and communities requesting feedback
* Reflect on Saturday
* Come up with alternate hypothesis to test

We think our iterations are getting better with learnings. We also realize some of the fallacies where a few things might need more time than a week. But so far, we are confident that the prototypes we have written off wouldn't have gone anywhere even if we had spent time.

Would love to hear from other folks if they have gone through similar journey. Looking to learn.

Certain DOCSIS cable modems … had a similar flaw

“With many users now using modified config files to uncap their
modems, most cable modem service providers acted to defeat this exploit
by turning on the DOCSIS security feature that requires the CMTS to check
the authenticity of the modem's config file during the registration process
(this is explained in more detail in Chapter 9). As previously mentioned, this
checksum is a HMAC-MD5 digest of the entire config file that uniquely iden-
tifies its original contents, and it is constructed from the config file using a
password chosen by the ISP. This defeats config file exploits because a user
8 Chapter 1|
cannot create a checksum that would validate a modified config file without
knowing the password that was used by the service provider when the original
config file was created.
Defeating the Message Integrity Check
The fact that the systems of most ISPs had now been patched to prevent
this type of uncapping was a challenge to be overcome. I began by attempting
to hack the patch that the ISPs had implemented. My starting point was a
phrase that was displayed in the modem's HTTP log page when the method
described in the uncapping tutorial failed. The logs would read TFTP file
complete-but failed Message Integrity check MIC. I wondered how I could
bypass this message integrity check or MIC.
One morning I awoke to frantic beeps coming from my computer; a
member of my group was messaging me. He had the answer. The way to bypass
the MIC was not to include the MIC! As simple as that might sound, I had
no idea what he was talking about.
He then sent me a copy of his config file and had me open it up in a
basic hex editor (a program used to examine and modify binary files). The
config file normally contained two different checksums at the end of the con-
fig file: a standard MD5 checksum of the config, followed by another check-
sum, the dreaded HMAC-MD5 (also known as the CmMic). He had simply trun-
cated the config file, removing the HMAC-MD5 checksum and the two bytes
before it (its header). Remarkably, this allowed any config to be used on any
ISP. Once again, every ISP around the world was vulnerable to OneStep.
NOTE This hack worked because the developers of the firmware used in the ISPs' routers, which
process the config files and CMTS checksums sent from the modems, had not thoroughly
tested the finished code. The basic config file processing function in the firmware would
process operation codes (opcodes) that were present in the config file, including the
CmMic opcode, and carry out the associated actions. But it would not check to confirm
that the CmMic opcode had actually been sent (or even that the config file had success-
fully authenticated). This flaw was severe because the ISP operators could not directly
fix it in their routers; the only ones who could do so were the third-party vendors who
supplied the firmware for the CMTSs. It would be a long time before the individual
systems could be patched.”
At least they provide justification and reasoning behind the numbers they assign, they're not throwing darts to see what to score things. Read through the report yourself, then come back if there are specific things you disagree with. Or maybe even better, find some better research and link it here.

Just saying "USA is the most democratic country in the world" feels like worse than at least trying to look at things objectively.
I took 2 years off where I made 0 income. Insurance was covered by the government and my healthcare was quite good. I didn't pay taxes because I didn't make any income. Getting back into the workforce happened literally within a single day (this was ~4 years ago when the market was different, not sure the same thing would happen now). I had no trouble switching jobs multiple times afterwards, either—recruiters and interviewers have never seemed to care that I took a break.

I was able to take some much needed time off to focus on personal projects and I'm extremely grateful I was able to do it.

My friends who didn't take time off were able to advance more in their careers, but I think it is a fair trade.
Great article! Thanks for the link!
As cringe as LinkedIn can sometimes be, I certainly relate more to it than to r/antiwork.
I always thought it could be cool to use systemd as a CI agent replacement someday:

Each systemd service could represent a step built by running a script, and each service can say what it depends on, thus helping parallelize any step that can be.

I have not found anyone trying that so far. Is anybody aware of something similar and more POSIX/cross platform that allows writing a DAG of scripts to execute?
