I'd say it could be interpreted as "correct funky informal Polish" - "Nauka w Polsce" indeed is super correct Polish, but "Nauka w Polske" is: - branding "nauKa w polsKe", - and a play of words &

number + relativenumber is the best combination I found so far for jumping between lines - you know where exactly you are, but jumping n lines up or down is great.

Is there a security assessment published? For any not-too-security-obsessed readers of HN: this sends all of your shell commands to some server (ha, but you can choose which one!). We all make mistakes, we all once in a while paste a passwo

That purely depends on jurisdiction (country, there is no world universal law) and your contract. A lot of companies smuggle that in a contract, often they’re happy to drop these kind of clauses.

Legality things, depends on jurisdiction, which may or may not depend on: * where were the authors of the code, * where the code is stored, * who is attacked, * where are their servers, * who is attacking, * where are they based, * where di

A side question: is this taught in CS curriculum you know? It was at my uni (fairly good one, in a minor European country), and this experience biases me because I assume every CS knows Kolmogorov complexity.

RECCO is better than nothing, but it has very minimal value for saving anyone, it's helpful used for body recovery (as mentioned in the article, recco is just a pasisive reflector antenna) - it requires active scanning from SAR team, w

I lately dealt with some infrastructure issue, involving HSM. Literally "we have HSMs and they're secure", except they don't work, and audit logs are non-existing. And if you enable them, they sometimes work (mostly not)

Yup great for business, horrible for users - just get lock in and keep paying. But great business idea.

Is this 21st century COBOL? Some language with some open-spec, made actually to be running in some very closed environment via interactive environment, with no source control?

That doesn't help Polish people - no sane person would use Azerty in Poland ;)

My anecdotal data: I almost never use standing feature of my standing-desk in the office, I use it if I want to show something on my displays to a couple of people. I see the value of standing desks, but since I am a very physically active

Having a robot to solve that problem seems like overengineering - there are integrated washing-machine/dryer combos in one appliance, bit less efficient then separate devices, but solves the problem of transferring the clothes.

In most cases the loser or a person who initiated the lawsuit pays. (If winner initiated, doesn't matter, if loser initiated, well they pay).

a) Law suit culture does not exist here, but yes you can, b) I'm truly speaking from experience... and a lot of people had that experience. You get a random useless letter from random useless agency that is making money from not lawsui

Which are not enforceable, as we can see. Living in Germany? Downloaded a torrent and sent 16KiB of that torrent back, got a letter from random lawyer to pay 350eur to somewhere? Not enforceable.

It kinda makes sense though to do it on Friday afternoon, as on the weekend enterprises and most people just go skiing or do other things so less of customer base is affected in case of (unfortunate) outage.

I was lately disappointed with quality of movies/shows on NF. But The Fall off the House of Usher was decently good, especially if you know Poe's stories/poetry. Highly recommended, nice classic horror with modern twist.

When I was at AWS, we used the same technique and I highly recommend it. No coupling to mainline, reviews made in parallel. For us one thing was super important: the commit cannot break the build, because it messes up with automated bisecti

Agreed. I've never been on Mastodon, because there is no reason for me to bother (I did hear about it). Threads? I DID hear about it and I'm actively refusing, because if I need Threads account, it's bound to my Instagram acc

Why node.js is involved? nginx, apache, any web server can do it itself since the beginning of an era.

Is it not? Especially in this context. People who are cryogenically stored, died due some reason - old or trauma. We cannot resurrect old people; trauma medicine is hardcore and we can sustain and fix some people, but sometimes we cannot.

For me it still doesn't make sense. Cryopreservation is legal and done only to dead people. Which means if they want to be alive again two problems need to be solved: 1) unfreeze with success, 2) resurrect. Both are non trivial for qui

So my very easy mental model of Kalman filter is: you feed model with some data (measurements, that are noisy, unstable) and some noise (usually Gaussian). Kalman filter actually kinda reduces precision by adding this noise, but you gain st
