You have to do lots of things in society you don't like to have it run smoothly (for you and others) in what might be considered an egalitarian effort. Whenever you don't force it, pareto and bad actors end up capitalizing on the gaps. The western nations have relied on the populace's generous nature for long enough that information technology has given people a chance to see how sub-optimal it is. You now have competition between wants and don't cares, where the don't cares have been outmaneuvered into borderline poverty and below.

This similarity leads me to believe Glen Weyl is on to something.
Ironic that I have a huge ‘download report’ banner across the middle of the screen (iPad Pro)
I think they mean to make a formal definition of moon that would exclude some of the new Jupiter moons, similar to the new formal definition of planet excluding Pluto from being a planet.
I'm sure they will, considering that a large percentage of houses in the world are completely unlike Western housing. The real question is how nice will they be compared to most houses in the US?
> Do I learn dart or swift

I'm not terribly familiar with the landscape, but my suggestion is broadly applicable: learn both.

A developer shouldn't be constrained to a single language. Pick the one that's suitable for the project you want to work on. For the next project, do the same. In my experience you'll find it progressively easier to pick up new languages (and stacks, and paradigms, etc.) each time you do it.

IMO, a developer's goal should be to understand and implement design patterns, not individual languages.

... and for the record, I say this as someone who prefers a single language (Python) to all others I've encountered.
>Apple abuses its market position

Apple does not have a major position in smartphones or search engines.

Their only monopoly is to sell their own devices, which is totally okay. You can compete by making a YouPhone that's better than the iPhone.

>Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony abuse their market positions

Again, neither has a major market position over the other and it does not prevent any of the other from competing. As you mention, each is capable of putting out exclusives just fine.

>when I buy them, I am not buying a device, I am buying a member of an ecosystem

You seem under the false impression that this is about you. This is purely about competition. As long as any of those vendors do not prevent the others from fairly competing on the market, the EU won't lift a finger.

>They have committed far more sins against their own customers than Google has for not dominating the Android ecosystem

Google is dominating the mobile browser and internet search markets, which, if you check the EU ruling, is the markets this is about.

The android market itself is irrelevant.

>They allowed people in the Windows ecosystem to connect to the Internet (a much larger ecosystem) with no additional software for free.

And google allows vendors to ship phones that can connect to the internet with no additional software for free.

>MSIE-era Microsoft and Google were fined for allowing choice, and by allowing choice their platforms (and thus ecosystems) became popular.

Completely false, they were fined for disadvantaging competitors who would not be able to compete on a fair market.

>DoJ vs Microsoft and EU vs Google both have illustrated that the governments prefer Equality of Outcome over Equality of Opportunity.

Atleast in the EU case, false again. The EU favors a market in which everyone has a level playing field, primarly enforced by having additional rules for any major players in a market. This doesn't tell business to not innovate or first mover advantage, both are allowed.

It's not disallowed to have a major market position but it's disallowed to abuse it to either disadvantage other competitors in the same or other markets.

Otherwise MS would have been fined for producing windows and selling it in the EU, which has not been the case to my knowledge.

I don't know anybody who specializes professionally in phishing that believes this. What I hear from those kinds of people, and many others, is the opposite: that especially when you're trying to secure an organization, the one attack you feel helpless to prevent is targeted phishing. Technologists in particular are apparently easy to victimize; they underestimate how malleable the medium is, and how well sophisticated attackers understand the cues we all rely on to evaluate the legitimacy of messages and gate the shortcuts most of us take.

My suspicion is that anyone who downplays phishing attacks is betraying a lack of understanding of how scarily effective targeted phishing attacks are.

This is what's happening in SF. The eastern side of the city is the high-density zone, and as prices get higher and higher, it's pushing farther west, into Cole Valley and the central Mission.

What's stopping the process is (a) rent-controlled tenants occupying buildings built before the time rent control no longer applies, and (b) prop 13. Both give people very strong incentives not to move.

I just got back from vacation in Germany, and while I was doing research for the trip I found a spa near one of the places I was staying that does radon therapy. From what I could gather on the web site, you sit for multiple sessions in a room with walls made of crushed radon-producing rock, reading, chatting with your neighbors, or having a snooze. Also, they ensure the radon levels comply with the German Spas Association's guidelines and you need a doctor's prescription to get treated.
A home being only 4x your yearly salary is a much better ratio than most of the country. You could theoretically pay that off in 10 years without much sacrifice and most mortgages are 30 year terms. When you add in prop 13 which prevents your costs from rising with the market, then that seems like a great deal all around

Alcohol: Maybe once a week. Never more than a drink or two.

Caffeine: Sometimes espresso in the morning. Not regularly. I think a juice or a smoothie does a better job of waking me up in the morning. I used to drink a lot more coffee... but I think I was more groggy until I had my coffee, than I am now with drinking it sparingly.

“Craftspeople”? You mean his architectural work? He was, by all accounts I’m aware of, an incredibly hands-on artist. Having others help out is one thing. Having others execute is another. Having a workshop (as in, tools, bricks morter, etc.) is just par for the course.

For a proper development shop, the developers wouldn't use the generated code. It would require so much rework to fit their framework that you might as well just write it from scratch. I have worked with tools like yours, Adobe has an enterprise product that is a bit ahead of yours.

Writing HTML and CSS is not the hard part of front-end development. A modest developer can put this together quickly. The hard part is using javascript or someone other tech to piece it all together.

I would encourage you not to chase your internal goal. Instead, focus on making designers better instead of trying to turn designers into developers. W3C will release a new CSS/HTML spec, or some fancy new JS framework will come out and you'll be left scrambling to re-engineer.
Is there any language besides C that's not a complete pita to generate FFI bindings for?
Ah yep, that makes sense. I wasn't thinking in terms of what had to happen for actual gameplay, just simulation state.
Your first mistake is dropping those scripts everywhere. Name them sanely and drop them somwhere in PATH. Add your own path to PATH just for these scripts if you don't have it already.

Your second mistake may be that you are writing python instead of a nice shell (eg. zsh is pretty good, way more powerful than bash) and ofloading to python only those parts that aint suitable for shell.

Now since you'd be offloading only sh-unsuitable parts as other programs, you can as well write them in whatever is best fit. Be it python, rust, c, haskell or whatever.
And the same goes with people who don't own property; their opinions are biased because they want to be living the good life in SF for less.
I think this is a common misconception people have, that that's the choice.

Go to Paris. SF needs Parisian-level density. This means six-story buildings, a few on each block. That's easily 10x the density of single-family homes, which if you spend any time in western SF, dominate the landscape.

All that space for lawns, garages, 3rd and 4th bedrooms, basements, etc. really adds up.

The choice isn't between lower Manhattan and the Outer Sunset, it's between that or Paris. Paris is just fine.

Also, incidentally, SF condo prices aren't even that bad relative to prevailing wages. It's just that everyone's so hung up on having a SFR (actual house), and the clickbait media loves talking about SFR prices to get pageviews.

Seriously? That’s not a new machine at that point.
I don't know how in your experience how these orchestration servers are setup, but in my experience, these clusters are all on the Cloud, which means accessing them requires going out to the public internet. In the off chance someone is actively MITMing the client's connection to the server, which isn't exactly hard, all that the attacker has to do is to present any cert signed with the same subject and issuer and whatnot except the public key. How would the client know if all the restriction is to accept a self-signed cert? There's got to be some sort of pinning mechanism like OCSP must-staple or verification step the client has to do to authenticate the server or the entire org's kubernetes client will be DoS'ed. I don't even have to compromise anything. You are saying self-signed server cert is how it is typically done, I'm questioning whether that's how it's supposed to be done.

The kubernete's document says:

For an identity provider to work with Kubernetes it must:

1. Support OpenID connect discovery; not all do.
2. Run in TLS with non-obsolete ciphers
3. Have a CA signed certificate (even if the CA is not a commercial CA or is self signed)

I interpret it as saying you should perferrably use a real CA or a well-behaved internal intermediate CA. Anybody remotely familiar with how TLS works will probably tell you the same. If what you are saying is correct, it's a serious problem in our industry.
I've tried it (at the Herräng dance camp as it happens, an experience in itself).

I'd describe the texture as being a little sponge-like compared to, say, tinned tuna. The flavour is strong and slightly acid. The smell was pungent but not particularly awful.

On the whole I think people exaggerate; it's no more revolting than a strong cheese might be, and the "rotting herring" description you sometimes hear is about as indicative as "rotted milk" would be for cheeses.

On the other hand we had it outside and they do say it's much worse indoors. It was noticeable that the moment the tin was opened it attracted flies though!

Our host opened the noticeably swelling tin without a bucket of water, but he was an old hand at it.
Supposedly, a lot of this was going on during the (previous) housing bubble.

Alcohol: usually just a couple drinks a month. A few times a year I'll drink enough to get a buzz.

Caffeine: Green tea every morning, occasionally a coffee with desert in the evening.
Not sure if that's even possible. From what I can recall of SF history, much of downtown isn't really stable ground (see the Millennium Tower as an example, with the ground underneath shifting and the foundation not being built to consider that issue). Also, I believe there are ships buried underneath the ground in SF from the 1800's.

Show HN: Hedphones – Track releases of the artists you follow on Spotify
ADTs are not neccessary to implement Option.
This is a project that I've been working on as a side project for the past 4 months. Hedphones is using Django and Bulma along with the Spotify API. It's been an idea rolling around in my head for a while now and I'm excited to finally get it out there. I've opened space for 50 beta testers.

I wrote a blog post to explain what Hedphones is all about: https://hedphon.es/blog/1/say-hello-to-hedphones

I can't think of a way to write this that doesn't come across as a little facetious, but I swear this is an honest question.

That's right. Silly me.
Right, we're definitely not saying the iPhone is buggier than others. I guess the issue is with the wording of the claim. It would be more accurate to say "Most bugs reported through Instabug are from iPhones"

But the employees will use that extra day to search for another job. Not good for business. It’s better that the employees have their time stretched thin so that commitment and dependence is kept high.

Moreover, it's only control-plane hijack detection which is the easier problem. If a hijack is performed at the data-plane, good luck even detecting it.
> If you are actually addressing a useful mechanism, the effect won't be marginal.

If there are 10,000 different mechanisms that each only affect 0.01% of the population, because the actual "problem" is just gradual DNA damage over time leading to one of 10,000 different problems... then what else is there to do but to come up with 10,000 solutions? (I mean, you could figure out how to entirely replace DNA with something that isn't affected by radiation, or has cryptographically-strong checksums, or something. But in terms of realistic solutions...?)
I think Google's self-competition is something they are doing strategically.

If you look at the industry as a whole products wax and wane based on market trends. Market leading products often struggle to innovate under the weight of their own success and are eventually replaced by a new innovator that's doing something right.

Google, by virtue of creating many different types of products in one category somewhat insulates themselves from this effect. They have effectively infinite money, so from their perspective they can somewhat emulate the greater market internally. They can let "startup" style teams form internally so if someone supplants one of Google's products, it's likely to be a Google team.

There are significant downsides to this (eroding consumer trust) which may take their toll on Google with time.
My understanding was that WoW would do essentially what's described here for the player's character and entities in the immediate area (simulate them for the next few frames), but the server also maintained a view of the world. The client would occasionally sync with the server, and that's when you would see the blinks.

If you're curious, this[0] is an actively maintained implementation of a WoW server.

I don't agree with your analogy. A database is not an consumer product, it's a tool and the people using it are responsible for its appropriate use.

To me this sounds like the hardware store selling saws, an uneducated consumer coming in and buying one and then going home and cutting their finger off and complaining that the hardware store should sell safer saws.

It's your responsibility to educate yourself on proper and safe operation of your tools.

> In many cases, an SRE is a job to save costs.

This is 100% the case. I would actually argue that it is the only job of the SRE organization - hit the budgets by balancing costs of availability vs. costs of unavailability. If the org has massive budgets and general budget flexibility then it is easy. Otherwise, SREs are magicians to pull the rabbits out of a hat inventing the most awe inspiring methods/tools/hacks/workarounds needed to meet and beat budget targets.

In the other orgs SREs are an indirect level of outsourcing of everything to SaaS providers.

You can write software for Fuchsia without using Flutter, but Flutter is the most friendly way at present.

In a basic sense, Flutter is based in Dart, but if you want to call into another language like Swift, there is a way to do so, called FIDL. I'm not sure if Swift has FIDL bindings yet, but I'm sure that it and many other languages will, in time.

Even today Flutter has support for Swift code on iOS the same way it supports ObjC, via MethodChannels. (This is also true for Java and Kotlin code on Android.)
