This may be your experience, but I made lots of friends at work, and kept in touch for a long time after leaving. People I first met at work are currently a large fraction of my real-world friends. I regularly meet with the same people I us

Interesting. I was even at Google when they "removed" it, I remember the internal uproar about "removing" it, and I was sure it was removed. Of course now you reminded me that the problem was "just" changing th

Everyone is welcome to report issues in my projects. I'm allowed to pick which ones I work on. I use Linux, so issues reproducible on Linux have priority. RISC-V sounds fun, I'd probably took a look if I could reproduce the issue

I agree, but without pattern matching converting "boolean-like" enums get tedious. For example: ConnectionMode connectionMode; if (useHttpsCheckbox.selected == ListItem::Selected) { connectionMode = ConnectionMode

It's absolutely not enough for APT investigation. Average attacks lengths are in months, infections sometimes span multiple years. Especially since we're talking about a backdoor (ransomware operators tend to move more quickly)

Analyses like this are not usually performed by insiders. People that write them are external researchers (in this case, Symantec's) that have limited (or zero) insight into actual logs on the target system. There is some coordination

You have to define what a "whole number" is first, and that is a philosophical question. You may think it's obvious [1] what a "whole number" is and how it behaves under addition, but to make it formal you have to w

> in math 1+1 = 2. That's an axiom That's not an axiom though. But (depending on your formal system of choice - for example Peano arithmetic) you can usually prove this using your axioms. What about "a+b = b+a" though

I partially agree, but then I remember my high school IT lessons, where people in my class (our profile was math and IT, mind you) struggled with excel and very basic programming. Scripting may sound trivial for people reading HN, but certa

That bit is very relevant to the concept of the colour of the bits (in this particular case, computer images) the author is explaining, and is only a single sentence of a quite long blog post. Why are you bothered by it so much that you &#x

Isn't vscode open-source? I'm using vscodium with all MS links removed, I don't think MS can charge licenses for that.

My issue with analyses like this is they argue that layoffs are a bad idea and it's just companies shooting themselves in a foot. That's what people want to hear, so it gets a lot of clicks and citations. But, this also means that

Why not both? I use starship and fzf with a fish shell. Fzf is a great productivity boost, especially because it integrates with everything so well. Starship is... nice and flashy, but I don't think it actually improves my productivity

Fish shell search and suggestions are awesome, and not comparable to what readline gives you. I don't know how it does that, but the shell understands the concept of files, commands in PATH, and CWD. So depending on the directory you a

Another fish user reporting in. I don't care too much about bash compatibility. I don't even care shell scripting in my shell - when I need to write a script I write a sh script (or python for more complex ones). I just want a she

I have good news for you - text search for non-ascii version of latin characters like ü is a long solved problem. That's because even in non-english speaking countries some people don't bother with diacritics, or they don't h

That's not a keyboard issue. Everyone in my country uses a standard US keyboard, we just press AlgGr to type some characters. I even learned some foreign lanugages, so I use a (standard, included by default in every linux distro) keybo

I don't disagree, but I wonder why is everyone fixated on Google this much? For the past weeks almost every day brought the news of a big tech company letting go 10+% of a workforce. Most recently zoom fired 15%. My theory is that peop

This slope is very slippery. This is an optional service that you can use, or ignore. Your position is like saying that kids-safe movies are a feature today, but will become mandatory in the future.
