Well, they took WireGuard, wrote a Rust implementation of it, refused to collaborate with Jason, who's been trying to get a Rust implementation of his protocol off the ground, then rolled it out as a proprietary offering that WireGuard itself is not allowed to connect to. This seems like the sort of analysis that would be pretty cut-and-dried among open source advocates (I'm not one of those, so I'm not saying it's cut-and-dried for me).

Your previous rooting interest in this story would have been for Rust itself. And Rust itself would have been been best served by having it host the dominant sanctioned userland implementation of WireGuard, not merely as an implementation detail for a commercial offering that also treats WireGuard as yet another implementation detail. Rust? Important! WireGuard? Important! Warp? Who gives a fuck?

So this is a bit of a surprising response to see from you.

Apologies for the late edit:

I should lay my own cards on the table here.

First, it's not much of a secret that I'm no fan of big Flare. But just to be clear: good friends of mine have worked there, and several other people I deeply respect have as well, and I don't judge any of them for that.

Much more importantly: Jason Donenfeld is, to my mind, the hardest working person in show business, and he's set himself on one of the most important projects in network security, basically all on his own, and the momentum he's managed to achieve doing that is insane and a little inspiring --- especially given the amount of shade he's been repaid with by network security luminaries --- and basically the last thing in the world he needs is to burn cycles worrying what some giant corporation is doing with his work (which, sure, does not include this Rust implementation, but very obviously does include all the hard protocol design and validation work he's been doing over the last several years, which, if it were easy and straightforward to do, several people would have done before him).

I've done about as much serious technical work on WireGuard as you have --- to wit: none, though I am a loyal, diligent distributor of WireGuard stickers. My partners all feel the same way, so we've just been sending the project cash.

If your employer has done the same, and dumped a giant bucket of cash on Jason in exchange for having gotten so much mileage out of his work, that would be an excellent rejoinder to this particular set of concerns.

Eagerly, therefore, awaiting my comeuppance on this thread! :)
Subs also add a lot of the plot sometimes. Certain quiet sounds you wouldn't otherwise hear are mentioned in the subs that can set a scene, foreshadow, or explain motives.
Yeah, that's why we subscribe. Digitally renting a movie is crazy stupid for busy parents of young children. It takes us 2-3 days to watch a movie (in the ~40 minute chunks we have each night). Digital rentals force you to finish watching a movie within 24-48 hours...
> but why should people be forced to change their career in order to avoid exploitation?

"change their career"? come on, it isn't as though they're being asked to become coal miners or journalists. just go compete for some of the jobs doing scientific visualization software, or take some other high paying software job.

Is it just me or do the hard drives on this thing seem weirdly expensive? The RAM is the same price as System76, but it's $999 for a 1TB NVMe drive vs $335.

Any idea for the reason on that? Otherwise it would be price comparable to a darter or galago pro.

No, it's not. Just as spending $5 on a latte every day isn't that significant either (for the assumed "average tech worker").

I feel articles like this should recommend an annual income threshold, if you are buying these lattes with a credit card while your checking account is over-drafted then it is going to indirectly affect your retirement.

How to Hack a Smart Lock
That argument is suggesting a linear correllation of effort to results, which isn't really so with creative work: in a hypothetical "better industry", because talent is more expensive and less exploitable, management has to step up, grow beyond cheerleader/slavedriver metaphors, and find ways to create more force multipliers throughout the project. Quality to effort ratio goes up -- and given a sufficiently high multiplier, the workforce produces more while working less.

I think this is eminently possible within games, and the growing interest in unions is reflective of agreement of that fact, of a desire to professionalize and negotiate towards work arrangements that follow what our current science tells us is best practice. If most game workers believed in linear effort to reward they would see the status quo as OK: not staying late would simply mean you lack "passion". And indeed, that was very much the case throughout the early history of the industry - passionate people who became bosses and focused in Panglossian fashion only on the particular metrics they prized, resulting in exploitative, fanboy-heavy, butt-in-chair workplaces.

The argument is not that luxuries shouldn't be purchased (they should). In the parent's comment, they put down a latte as a luxury item while upholding their brewed coffee as a better purchase. This was simply an effort to rebut that statement.
No-one, not Spotify or the end user, has ever chosen to use the app store. Apple's vertical integration has banned all competition for iOS distribution and forced people to pay a 30% tariff top run code on their own machine.
I would propose a name change here, perhaps from the article title to the the pdf title of "Rittel and Webber - Wicked Problems (1973) [pdf]".

For those unfamiliar, this is the social policy paper which formalized the concept of 'wicked problems'; complex issues where possible solutions are innumerable, costly, and impossible to prove except by demonstration. Most famously, these are issues like ozone depletion or pandemic outbreaks which demand urgent, large-scale responses and don't leave room for sequential attempts. But they also include cases like high crime rates, where the root of the issue is disputed and every attempt at a solution changes the nature of the problem.

It's an extremely interesting work, and a seminal (if often ignored) part of the switch from High Modernist attempts at direct social planning to complexity-respecting ideas like New Urbanism.

That's a great point, though valuing one's work is bloody hard at any stage of life.
You can't even type in Japanese. Typical cross-platform "well we got it to run everywhere!" solution.

So now we have a framework running on a VM running on a VM running inside a sandbox running in microcode (did I miss a level?). Can't wait for the next abstraction!
IMO, politics seems like possible reason.
I don't disagree at all, V8 was and still is revolutionary. However, the second order effect of V8 having captured such a large portion of the market is that developers will code/tweak/optimize until their app/library is suitably performant on V8 and then stop. No value judgement, it's totally rational but the effect is that now a lot of JS code has an implicit dependency on the quirks of V8 in order to be fast.

There's really no good solution to this because the kind of performance tuning we're talking about explicitly pierces veil the VM is supposed to provide. You're pretty much always going to target the internals of one particular engine. So what this means is that anyone working on a competing engine not only has to provide the same behavior but also the same performance profile because it's something that JS devs expect to be there now.

One lucky thing about game dev is that your skills do transfer. Whether to graphic design or programming or marketing or whatnot. It's not like they got a gamedev license and are locked in.
I'm in Austin, so it's definitely similar to SF in those regards, but I think overall we're talking more like ~5% of the population identifies as LGBT*, while at times it seems like any show with 4 main characters has written 1-2 of those characters to be homosexual (and usually tries to write that into the storyline somehow, dealing with identity/etc.).
Just in case: Skia can be built without Google build environment. For the Sciter (https://sciter.com) I just included all needed files into projects ( MSVC and XCode ). That setup takes some initial time but after that it works as any other library like libpng, etc.
One benefit of using a VPN was that Netflix provided shows with far more subtitle options in regions outside the USA. I never understood why if the subtitles existed for a particular language that they wouldn't be present in the USA version of Netflix. For example, now that you can't use a VPN with Netflix I haven't been able to access German subtitles from the USA. Is there a way around this?
At common law, you cannot gain title by adverse possession against the government.

However, for leaseholds, it's all going to be determined by the pertinent statutes. That's even more true for Ecuador, which - as far as I know - is not a common law country.

The real issue is that ejecting him from the embassy is, in effect, ejecting him from the sovereign territory of Ecuador. Depending on the exact basis they claimed when allowing him to stay, it could constitute refoulement of an asylee, which would violate international law.
Apps should be translatable, even if they're not translated. If you're small, you're not obligated to translate an app to every possible language, but it is bad engineering to make your UI dependent on your primary language in a way which would make it hard to ever add support for a new one.

The way I sometimes do it is by opening a transcript (springfieldspringfield.co.uk is a good website for those) in another tab. When I don't get something, I switch tabs and I search (via ctrl+f) for the last thing I've understood. This process is intentionally cumbersome to discourage me from doing that very often.
So it's Whataboutism when trying to point out others' hate? Maybe it was a bad attempt, but it was a question to show that both sides are capable of doing horrible things to each other. And that the extremists of any group probably aren't the best at accurately representing the majority's philosophical thinking. Both sides deserve the hate. I'm okay with talking about the hate, but can we be intellectually honest and say both sides have made mistakes.

So I agree Whataboutism isn't attractive.
> This argument would be stronger if the game industry didn't also feature a large number of insanely well paid executives.

But why would a surplus of developers need to correlate with a surplus of executives?

If anything it makes more sense to see a larger rift between workers and executives/investors because the costs for developers have been driven down by competition among them.

I may concede that overall it could be better with a union, but lets not pretend this will mean all current game devs will make more money. You will have less game devs who will be making more money (narrowing the gap to execs in the industry) while others get driven away from the profession.
> But there are critical numbers like lifespan that have big effects on your investment strategy, and men and women differ by 7 years.

Unless this is for investments made by your parents at birth, the difference is smaller; life expectancy at birth differs a lot by gender, but by early adulthood it's narrowed a lot because very early death is more common in males. I think it's about 3 years for current 20 year olds.

Nice try attempting to turn the wording around, but you fell flat, and it's not constructive. The OP thinks there are no buttons at all.

If you're changing the AC that often, AC can be reached and adjusted with muscle memory. No need to look. The controls are at a fixed point on the screen, near the edge, easy to brace a hand there (or not) if desired while using a thumb or finger to make a selection.

The title of this submission is "Show HN: 300k lines of Java UI code running native in browser at desktop speed," not "Show HN: page layout and report designer." The criticism is that this particular method of making Java UI code run in the browser, which is being shown to HN because it's presumably interesting to other people with large amounts of Java code as part of different applications, is inaccessible - not that the page layout and report designer is inaccessible.

The answer to 1 most likely lies in education and (more broadly) reduction of economic segregation. You will not save everbody with this, but the majority.

I would divide media roughly into three classes:

1. The worst: those who make up things with no base in reality at all

2. The standard: those who don’t make up things willfully, but manipulate through selective focus (leaving out certain topics while pushing others)

3. The good: those who carefully try not to lie and try to avoid selection based manipulation, while clearly marking the border between facts and opinion.

This concept would only really prevent the behaviour of the worst – IF they would care about getting caught in a lie. The fact that there _are_ watchblogs that point out lies with no effect shows probably that only technology is not a practical solution.

What kinda works is having a national press council that has the power to sue media plattforms to print corrections when they get things wrong. Even the most uneducated would think about changing the newspaper when ever other issue starts with a correction notice. Let alone the advertisement partners.

Technology like this is cool, but must always be emmbeded in some powerful institution.

What you cant see ?

A corporation with employees becomes a member of the Federal Reserve. The job is to generate money from nothing, and get paid for it.

So as a federal reserve bank you create money, charge for doing so and then you change hats from federal reserve to local private bank and loan that money to the private sector charging profits for doing so.

You charge fees coming and going get salaries for both jobs and have no exposure for doing so.

Bonus if your bank fails you are insured by the people who are borrowing money from you.

I don't know about you, but it usually takes me less time overall to make coffee at home than to get it at a coffee shop or gas station once I factor in travel time.
You got a lot for your $5. At the other end of the spectrum are chronically bankrupt people maxed out on credit card debt who buy a takeout $6 giant candy coffee whenever they go anywhere and don't even bother to finish drinking it before they have to throw it away because they are walking into a restaurant. This story is based on true events.

> There's been a movement to right to work

By which you mean, there's been a movement by employers towards the right to work for less.

> but even then, the non-union employees are forced to abide by the union negotiated contract, which is bullshit.

What's bullshit is that non-union employees get the same benefits that a union fought for, without having to do any work to get them.
Oops... Fixed now! :)
I think most of this argument is based on a false dichotomy "Saving on coffee is bad advice because there are other things wrong with our finances that have a much bigger impact". The author is also not making a clear distinction between "things that are wrong with our financial/economic system" and "things one has direct and immediate control over", like the money they spend on coffee every day.

Also, no one is claiming that coffee specifically is the key to financial health. But it's the most popular example of frivolous habit-spending that doesn't actually make people happier, a category which makes a up an increasingly large part of Americans' spending.
> Ok, but even then, surely it takes about as much time?

Sure, but it's on your own time, not your employer's time (at least, that's how I read "I have it at my desk").

That said, I will solidly defend the notion that not spending a solid N hours at your desk is a good thing. Stepping away from your desk on your lunch hour, whether it's to purchase a latte, a lunch, or to eat a homemade meal in a nearby park, is a good thing.
Until people start talking about dismantling zoning laws, I don't take them seriously when they say they care about homelessness. We deeply care about homelessness. Yes, we've systematically made dormitory housing illegal, but we deeply care about homelessness. Yes, we've outlawed any form of mixed use zoning necessitating a car for most jobs, but we deeply care about homelessness. Yes, we have made any form of construction basicly impossible, but we care so so much about homelessness.

Judging by their revealed preferences, almost no one cares about homelessness.

> transactivists

Trans activists. "Trans" is an adjective. Calling someone a "trans activist" would be like them calling you a "stupidbigot."

> Video

So, the first words of the video are:

"Sex typically refers to your biological traits such as your gonads, your genitalia, your internal sex characterstics, your hormone production, hormone response, and secondary sex characteristics"

To me claiming that humans are not sexually dimorphic would mean claiming that men and women don't generally differ in these characteristics. That's also what it would mean to "deny the existence of biological sex." That's obviously not what this video is doing, since they acknowledge all of these things from the beginning. This video is just about how intersex and trans people exist, and sometimes exhibit a mixed set of characteristics that we usually think of us mutually exclusive. This is obviously true and goes without saying for anyone older than the intended audience for the video, teenagers.

> This video contains at least one lawyer from the ACLU, Chase Strangio, claiming that there is no such thing as a "male body" or "female body".

So, I assume you're talking about the beginning:

"What are we talking about when we say sex and gender, is there something called biological sex and what does that mean."

Notice that this is a question. He's introducing a discussion about this topic.

"This idea that the body is either male or female is totally wrong"

They're saying that the body is not exclusively male or female. They're not saying that humans don't differ sexually / aren't sexually dimorphic.

> This video is accompanied by many other articles all arguing that transwomen are "female" because they say so, and therefore should be allowed in women's sex segregated spaces, sports etc.

Trans women are female and should be allowed in women's spaces. That doesn't imply that humans are not sexually dimorphic. In fact, in implies the opposite: if humans were like amoebas and were not sexually dimorphic, then no one could be called female. Clownfish sometimes change sex naturally, but no one would say they're not sexually dimorphic.

I still pay for Netflix DVD's, have since around 2000. The reason that I still do is that a bunch of older TV series that my wife watches aren't available on streaming anywhere, and the dvd's are out of print, so the only way to watch these things is via archive DVD's, like at Netflix.
