The new thing might be that some people who would otherwise prefer the company of people over animals can't get it and settle for a pet instead. Articles on the "loneliness epidemic" get posted quite frequently on HN: https:

I'm using a custom procmail setup build over the years around Bogofilter [1]. I find it still works well, even though Bogofilter is more or less unmaintained at this point. I'm only aware of one serious bug in the upstream distrib

Perl more than any other language I know depends on the self-restraint of the programmer to write readable code and not be overly clever with their syntax. I’ve worked on some large Perl codebases in the past that were as readable and maint

I agree this is a pretty good list. However I feel like a lot if this should be a side effect of the general culture in the company. I've seen several times people going to management seminars where they teach this kind of stuff and it

The most interesting thing I find here is that these results seem pretty conclusive that ruthenium couldn't have come from a breach in an active reactor. There was a submission on HN a while ago (I can't find it right now) that sp

I think it's not as clear as you claim and more like a big gray area, like a lot of fan art out there. Some images in the dataset themselves might be infringing on some other publisher's rights. On the other hand some artists know

Zero. An object of Voyager's size is much too small to be detected by existing surveys - we can't even track most of passive objects in deep space we ourselves put there (see for example various hardware left in heliocentric orbit

Even with CM3+ I don't think the numbers add up. The 8GB CM3+ is $30, so after buying a hundred you're left with just additional $5 per board for power, interconnect and cooling (just like R.Pi 3, the compute module without additi

Don’t know specific situation in Germany, but gas turbine plants in my country are “mostly idle” because they are there to keep the grid stable (they spin up fast to cover peak demand). They can’t be run at capacity.

+1 for disabling password auth. On the other hand I find fail2ban pretty useless these days. Most attacks I see seem to come from botnets where you only get a few requests from each IP.

I love how the solution was to add one time-delay relay into the circuit. It's a 70s version of a one-line patch.

No vigilante justice required. Just make the companies liable for the damage they cause when their products turn into a botnet. Why can't products have a "declaration of security", like they have for EMI compatibility, safety

Definitely not thrown away. Plenty of stuff still gets made on older processes. Fabs keep old lines alive for a long time, especially since each one is such a huge investment.
