IA-definitely-NAL, but I can't see a way that opt-out can be legal here.

Maybe the legal defense applies the same logic of consent in third-party tracking (third-party provides the service in behalf of the first-party, to whose terms you agreed by using its service. Even that may clash with laws like GDPR):

Brave, third-party, is providing a service to the first-party – the browser's user – who contracted it as a way to provide a best-attempt donation for the creator.

(If it's not obvious, I'm not privy to the details AND US federal and states' law)

The only legal way I can see to do what Brave currently does is to spam the hell out of creators (ah, growth hacking) when someone attempts a donation, but only take the money after the creator signs up.

ive never heard a convincing argument for why it's necessarily a bad thing to "play god". it just seems like an oft repeated phrase that makes no sense to me and only survived because of some idea that we have no right to try and discern the true nature of the universe and then to control it in the pursuit of betterment of our capacities as a species.

Snippet that caught my attention as someone who’s mostly been programming in high level languages.

“During the era of Moore’s Law a common mantra in the software world has been, “the programmers time is more valuable than the computer’s time.” This mentality has brought plenty of wonderful things with it including dynamic and expressive languages such as Python and JavaScript. These languages create programs that — compared to their equivalents written in C — are slow and use lots of memory. These trade offs were easy to make when computers would be twice as fast, have more RAM, and larger CPU caches in a year and a half. These advances have also brought down the cost of creating software and made it much easier for beginners to learn how to program.
But Moore’s Law is dead.
CPU speeds have been stagnating for several years now, and experts in the field of computer hardware do not expect them to recover [...]”
VS Code uses almost as much memory as a full IDE but does less. Sublime Text does almost as much as VS Code and uses much less memory, loads large files much faster, and opens new windows instantly. The last time I checked, VS Code didn't support Services on macOS or standard menu keyboard shortcuts on Linux.

Native apps use system colors by default. Electron apps tend to use static colors.
Not sure I agree. If you're skirting regulation but your product actually works, I don't personally think you've done anything morally wrong.

The law cares, but realistically those regulations are in place to prevent fraud or dysfunctional products. If Theranos' machine actually did what they said it could, it would've been a victimless crime and I wouldn't have a problem with it.

It was possible to make products which benefited humanity before those regulations existed, and it's possible to do the same while skirting those regulations.

I think the fact that Swarm consulted with the FCC, had their plan to launch satellites rejected and then decided to launch anyway indicates the fines weren't suitable. A simple 3 year ban on further launches would've changed that. I find the fact that Swarm did this knowingly particularly egregious. I'm also not sure the lack of violations is a good indicator that the FCC is working since I don't think there's a particularly big sample of companies doing this for other structural reasons.
I don't think that this module is deprecated. https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/jdk.https... here's documentation for latest Java without any mentioning of deprecation. It's a bit strange module because it was located in that package, but it was always documented, so I'm considering it safe to use for the time being. Probably not the most performant (uses good old blocking I/O), but good enough for many tasks.

Prioritization problems exist independently from release cycle problems. "Everything becomes an emergency" is a symptom of broken priorities, not fast releases.

If you're in the habit of doing 24 hour turnarounds, then a 24 hour turnaround is no longer an "emergency", it's just normal process. No reason to panic, or to act panicked. Emergencies are only emergencies if they interrupt work-in-progress.
There's probably some long-term strategizing going on here, as well. The likelihood of a CS undergrad from Princeton creating their own startup that cuts into Alphabet's margins somewhere is much higher than the probability of a student from a state school doing the same.

Well if you launch your own army of satellites and they smash into and destroy someone else's - will you pay? Will you be able to pay? What if it was another government's spy satellite/military Comms/positioning system and you just caused a diplomatic incident?
There's a lot of space around earth but crashes aren't rare anymore (see how Iridium has backups already in space to ensure coverage once there's failures/crashes) - add more satellites and the issue gets worse.
Does this include state and muni debt? I imagine not.
I would caution against equating the computational capacity of a physical entity like this with what a single Turing machine or equivalent can do. The classic example is that I can sort a bunch of arbitrary-precision real numbers in O(n) time using spaghetti: cut a piece to length for each number, then push the ends flat against a table and sweep your hand down along them while you repeatedly remove the first piece to touch your hand [0]. The pieces of spaghetti are able to do this because they're acting like a parallel computer; the thousands or millions of chemical reactions taking place inside the amoeba are probably doing the same thing.

Performance of algorithms is always exterior to our abstractions.

From a certain point of view.

In other words, the abstractions don't leak, they are just not up to the task of modeling optimal performance

If the performance becomes pathological, to the point where the app or system is unusable, then from the point of view of the users, the abstraction is leaking.

Let me put it this way. Maybe a flat Random Access Machine isn't the best mental model for certain coding tasks? Maybe there's a way we could have a cleaner abstract model that makes the pathologies visible, yet is a bit more abstract than just thinking about the actual cache?

There's some things that you should not even start doing until you're certain that you can do them properly from beginning to end. If that breaks your business model, then your business model was shit.

In the end I've just been using the Unix pass password manager [1].

It's just cobbling together of GPG and git with shell scripts but it works like a normal git repository so you get all your synchronization, from that, your security from GPG which are all things I know and trust without introducing other components that I don't know / understand.

ASLR applies to virtual memory / process address space. Merging or compression is of physical pages - the page is uncompressed on the fly when the process accesses it. It works because the OS is in control of the Virtual->Physical mappings and can, on a page fault do the decompression transparently for e.g.
I don’t know what you mean when you say that the Muslims are integrated in London. This is not the way I view things at all. It seems like a knee-jerk reaction many people have when another person complains about Muslims. Why should they even necessarily be integrated? This is just London.

Since time immemorial, London has a lot of separate cultures, each doing their own thing. Sometimes people interact too, which is also nice. Walk down Bethnal Green Road one day. Observe the locals of Bangladeshi descent wearing their traditional clothing, going to their sweet shops, jewellers and butchers, speaking their language. I wouldn’t call this integration.
This looks like a nice ShowHN. Look for the details and format in https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Use a title like "Show HN: Data Janitor - Online spreadsheet cleaning and transformation"

(Wait for resubmitting until Dec26. Nobody reads HN during Christmas.)

Some questions/remarks:

- It's not 100% clear that you must click in Clean & Transform to edit the transformation script

- If you edit the process script but don't click on "Run", then nothing happens (obviously). Perhaps you can add a small warning in the main page "Outdated results. Please click "Run" to process your data with the new script"

- Does the process happen in the browser or in your server? How private is the data I upload? (I'm pessimistic and assume not private at all.)

- How long do you keep the saver versions? Are you doing some filtering to prevent spam/overuse/ilegal content?

(Once your site is big enough to get some spam/abuse/ilegal content, you can write a nice post about how you combat it.)

This is the same growing pain that all the Git tip services went through. First, they accepted tips on behalf of repo maintainers on Github with the intention of letting those maintainers collect their tips later, then after a huge backlash they made it opt-in.

This cycle will repeat for any service that allows a platform to collect payments on behalf of users without asking the recipients for consent in advance.

I never heard about the guy until today and spent a little while searching.. I can say I am absolutely stumped why this guy is getting any attention at all.

All the profiles he's written about himself seem extremely conceited. His posts present hyperbole and opinions as fact. And to top it all off, the exact things he is criticizing SC for he has done himself with his most recent game Line of Defense...

Yeah, you will obviously need a day or some hours where there is an overlap. So for a 4 day work week, maybe you have 2 days where you have to work. But that will still be a much better and a flexible solution.
Which is a shame IMHO
I know other engines do streaming, but do they nest the same way or just load the required parts of a level?

The SC version has a star system, which has containers for areas around each planet, which has containers for moons and the planet, and you go down to the planet and it has containers for cities, which have containers for buildings which have containers for apartments. I wouldn't think Fortnite would bother rigging it up that way, but maybe arbitrary nesting is a natural way to handle it.

Of course there's the additional mess of coordinate systems on a spinning planet orbiting around a star that your average shooter doesn't deal with either.

But the really impressive part is that they managed to stuff this into an old version of CryEngine and make it work. They really lucked out with CryTek running out of money to pay their programmers with, which let CIG scoop up a bunch of the engine devs and start their Frankfurt office. When it comes down to it, that might be what makes the whole project possible.
What a company :(

As far as I've been able to tell, Derek Smart and Chris Roberts have a long-standing bitter rivalry over who can make the best space game, driven by the substantial egos on the both of them. At present, that mostly manifests as Smart doomsaying about Star Citizen on the internet to anyone who'll listen, with claims of highly variable quality - but I believe there have been periods in the past when the roles of developer & critic were reversed.
X3:Terran Conflict and X3:Albion Prelude have almost nailed the mouseflight controls of Freelancer and the overhauled menu system is slightly less annoying and slightly more intuitive than that of X2:The Threat or X3:Reunion. The weapons are even gimballed so you don't have to track an enemy perfectly to be able to shoot them.
There have been some attempts in France to create some more trustfully social networks based on open-source software and decentralized paradigm.

>You’re trying to argue that the law is morally correct

Find one place where I said that the law is morally correct. I'll save your trouble: you can't, because I never did so.

So now not only are you moving the goalposts, but you're setting up a strawman. Nice. Two fallacies for the price of one.

This conversation has been about the law and legal liability since the beginning. Nobody brought up morality until you did in your attempt to, yes, move the goalposts. It is very clear that you have done so, and it's absurd of you to accuse me of not participating in good faith, when you're doing all you can possibly do to avoid admitting that your argument is ridiculous.
It is not threatening in London to make eye contact with someone, however much people joke about people never talking to each other.
A fundamental problem is as the number of parameters increase the probability of sampling from the edge of the hypercube increases. You will then not effectively explore the parameter space. This might be some what alleviated by a concentrated multivariate normal, but I guess that has its own caveat.

If you instead have a sampling algorithm informed by the loss functions you avoid this problem. (You instead might have to worry about local minima.)
Can a TLS connection ever be considered end-to-end secure?
I mean,it's perfectly acceptable for a middleware with a valid cert from an authorized CA to intercept the traffic before the true endpoint,not to mention loadbalancers and other possible TLS terminators.

As I understand it,end-to-end means application to application (endpoint to endpoint?) with assurance to the client that no middleware can intercept traffic successfully. Always thought TLS only assured the presenter of the ServerCertificate is authenticated for the subject,that is to say the client cannot say "I am sure this is the server I meant to communicate with",it can only say "The server I'm speaking with has authority to communicate on behalf of my intended peer"
For curious, about the actual usage of `potrzebie` in polish:

potrzeba is a neutral form of a noun, meaning `a need.

`potrzebie` is a inflected form, dativus i guess.

`one needs to help people in need`
Here's the deal. If you want what you're proposing to work - you need to copy the model that Google briefly used with Google Contributor.

Bid on the exchanges for the ads you want to block. Then serve cat pictures (or whatever). The creators will get paid through the existing payment infrastructure and you don't need to build an entirely parallel, opt-in system that will probably never gain enough traction to be worth using.
"Worse still, clients that believe themselves secure using HTTPS are essentially voiding their warranty by using UDP DNS."

I wouldn't go that far. It's true that if the browser has never gone to a website before you can MITM to have the client connect to a server that doesn't support SSL and basically be left with a MITM'd HTTP connection. It's not fool-proof, but there's various measures that are being deployed to reduce such attacks:

* Chrome has started adding "Not Secure" to proactively alert users of websites not using SSL. If a user sees a major website and "Not Secure" is visibly displayed, hopefully that'll serve as a good warning to not continue.

* HSTS won't protect the initial connection, but will protect from future downgrade attacks by telling the browser to not accept insecure connections from the domain.

* Unless it has been otherwise tampered with, the HTTPS connection will still be encrypted and the certificate verified regardless of whether DNS has been tampered with. At that point the attacker would need a valid certificate from a trusted CA for the domain, which is outside of most threat models and they could likely get a certificate to MITM the DNS over TLS requests as well.

* In more secure settings, applications can be forced to only accept specific CAs, oftentimes a self-generated one. The above attack wouldn't work in that occasion.

Generally speaking, the biggest gains in DNS over TLS come in privacy, not security (although there are some, especially for applications that don't enforce SSL).

There is currently no political will to make such a change.

Yes, it's my favorite game of all time. No, I'm not sure you can really "get" the experience today. One thing older games were able to do was use time and boredom(!) for effect in a way that mostly doesn't exist nowadays with so many more well-made games with "optimized" reward systems.

I think of Grim Fandango, where a lot of the effect of the narrative comes in the way scrounging for clues by trial and error makes it feel as if you really were stuck in that town for a year. Play through quickly with a strategy guide and you won't actually get the effect of the environment.

Or take the difference between the original Zelda and the later games: I'd say the fact that the original completely lacked the well-marked trail of where you were supposed to be going and what you were supposed to be interacting with made it seem as if you had "found" a smaller part of a wider world, and you were reacting to its logic.

Star Control II did both of these things as well as any game has. The reasons for your actions were always intrinsic (not to make "1/5" go to "3/5" and then "5/5", quest completed!) and your course through the game was meaningful because it took place in an economy of choice, effort, and time that was consistent and weighty.

Beyond navel gazing, I think the real upshot is when something like Breath of the Wild is so universally adored, part of what you're seeing is all the potential being left on the table by the current paradigm of gerbil wheels with scrolling backdrops.
