Ok, “evidence” aside. Let’s talk about biological weapons. The ideal scenario for a weapon would be very different from an ideal evolutionarily for a virus. Something like Ebola is a great weapon. It is incredibly fatal, and targeted. It ta

I think a lot of folks are skimming the top of this and missing the really interesting parts. Their focus doesn’t seem to be providing adversaries against pilots, but adversaries against weapons systems. He’s essentially selling organic dat

Well the law applies to all EU citizens, at home or abroad, in one of the weirdest jurisdiction overreaches I’ve ever seen. So the company could have one or more EU citizen customers who even live in the US. But I clearly like the one cooki

Don’t use Telnet to check a port. It’s overkill that puts you in the situation where you have to force it to abort because the server doesn’t speak telnet. Netcat (based on the old Hobbit code) or nmap’s ncat are pretty universally installe

Its name is novel coronavirus or more specifically "2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)". There are many coronaviruses that just cause colds. There's also SARS, MERS, and now nCoV that are a lot more deadly.

I saw a great talk at a conference about this by a woman from the University of Florida. I am sorry I don't remember her name or the conference. But this is a classic symptom of lack of diversity of developers (or test subjects). It&#x

I'm sorry, It's an unpopular opinion to hold, but the overseas bribery thing is a ridiculous standard to hold. [These opinions are just mine, and while I have them as opinions I would never act on them as a representative of my co

We just did this over Memorial Day weekend and it was a blast. My 7 year old daughter starting coming home with "cool" rocks in her pocket last year and we just encouraged the interest, went to a local geology show, and got hooke

I'm guessing you're looking for a job in a saturated market (west coast, NY). I'll suggest looking elsewhere at companies that are not primarily tech (but have large IT shops). I mean Fortune 500s, not mom-and-pop. And be

In reality, you can't do that with these either. You have to have the runtime installed before your example works. It's really not much better than running a fat jar that contains all of its dependencies. curl -o binary.jar

If you wanna be a good dad you have to give 100%! Actually I think the 110% is apropos because, especially early on, you find out you can do so much more than you think is possible.

Is anyone using one of these OSes for "real" work. By that I mean, something key to their livelihood. I'm just curious, not trying to say that hobby OSes are in anyway a derogatory thing.

Some of these they have "solved", but their solutions have not been tested or audited yet, or at least not in a way that's visible. There are a few big financial players going all-in now, and I think everyone else is watchin

Meh. A short-lived fork addressing issues being addressed in mainstream redis in a way that is probably more consistent with the codebase. I think it's an interesting piece of work, no doubt. But I'd never adopt something like t

I set mine (2008 vintage) up with the newest OS they would run and the newest version of Chrome, locked down an account and let my kids at them (3 & 5 yrs old at the time). They go to PBS Kids, ABC Mouse, and some sites the school give

OK, I'll be honest. I usually avoid excel, except for excel to csv conversion. Then I write a python3 script starting with `import csv`. This would make the product actually useful for me. VB is terrible. I don't even want to

It's not just ports, resource contention in general is largely the pain of multi-user systems. If you've ever managed a host with thousands of users, you'd remember. Sure many of these have work-arounds now, but I've se

This so hard. Smart is good. Work product is better. HN is a great place to daydream about the future. But most ideas here are months away from production in any meaningful sense, if they ever really see the light of day. Enjoy HN for w

My procrastination is basically an anxiety problem. How do I deal with it now and stay somewhat sane? Most importantly I do a lot of working on my self-awareness, and recognizing when I'm not in control. Next would be medication so I
