>the value-wages of everyone else.

Yes, but when "everyone else" just means certain groups of high-skilled workers, owners of large businesses, government employees, and people reliant on government benefits, because they're the only ones whose income is not reduced by the importation of labor, you have a pretty big problem for your country.

>But the negative effects of that monopoly are evident

OK, but no one is talking about giving a monopoly to a single person, so the negative effects are going to be vastly smaller.

>A system where every single profession is monopolized would inevitably lead to misery, not to the increase of wages of everyone.

Good thing no one is suggesting that. Keeping foreign labor out of the market is not the same thing as a monopoly.

>It is also surprising to see people that work with the internet to advocate ideas that would be seen as insane if applied to the internet itself.

Please elaborate.

>It used to ->

OK, but, like, it doesn't any more.

>Adam smith buried mercantilism under the argument that it was better for everyone to free trade

Better for everyone that's still trading, I guess.

>Again, do you think you would be richer if the iphone or computer you use to post here were had to be made in the US as opposed to china, and it cost 2, 5, or even 10x as some Apple officials have claimed it would have cost?

I'm not sure about me, personally. I've done fairly well in the economy we have. The people in, say, Appalachia, who are killing themselves or addicted to drugs, are probably not as well off as they would be if we had employed economic protectionism to their benefit, even if their smartphones cost more.

In the long term, I'd prefer to pay more for my computer and phone and know that people who my children and grandchildren are going to share a country with are going to have each other's interests in mind, and that those people are going to be raised by people that are not suffering from the effects of poverty or from lacking any meaning in their lives. It doesn't do much good for my posterity if the people with which they share a country see them as an economic resource to squeeze for whatever they're worth because they have no common bonds of shared history or culture that tie them together, or if those people are damaged from being raised in squalor. I believe we need to put our communities above our GDP for a while.
> What would you feed ants...?

Garbage.

What do they eat? Only the highest quality pre-consumer food waste will do. Rather than using animal by-products, we link up with juice bars, bakeries, breweries, and the likes to divert their food waste. While a mushy banana may not seem appetizing to you, our grubs would happily do the honors.

I'm more saying bundlephobia.com is wrong in that it doesn't appear to be including .wasm files at all.

If you just do an npm install of canvaskit-wasm you'll find a 6.4M canvaskit.wasm file. That'd have to be some insane gzip magic to bring that down to 50Kb.

If I gzip the entire canvaskit module (including the font files) I'm getting a size of 3.4M. If I just gzip the .wasm file I get a size of 2.4M.
If that is true, then the situation seems intractable. The Chinese government won't want to pay for anything beyond it's official figures, but the rest of the world has no interest in those bogus figures being used.
> Secondly the rust language only excludes memory bugs, it doesn’t exclude errors in the implementation of the tls protocol or incorrect usage of cryptographic primitives which can be just as catastrophic for security.

I linked to a talk about the project elsewhere and it's worth noting that the author of rustls leverages a lot of rust techniques that ensure certain correctness attributes at a semantic level, not just memory safety.

In particular, TLS libraries have long suffered from dealing with the complex composite state machines required by the protocol[0]. Rust makes the expression of safe state machines pretty easy (the talk demonstrates how).

Public records are published based on certain demand assumptions.

If a real-world demand for, say, some GIS data is hundreds of requests per day, then a crawler that comes in with hundreds requests PER MINUTE will obviously stress the infrastructure. Adjusting infrastructure to cope is not an instant process, nor is it a sure thing to begin with given all the budgeting formalities. So your "civic duty" will ultimately result in destruction of these services, because they simply don't have the means to deal with such thoughtless activism.
I’m surprised this answer is so far down. Production machines write to an S3 bucket with a lambda trigger. As soon as the upload is finished, the lambda either lifts the file to another location or changes the acl so the production machines can no longer access it.
Not OP, but I don't. Hibernating and Sleeping my systems always causes massive problems for me, and I'd rather just shut down and start up really fast.

For example on my current laptop if I hibernate or sleep the system the USB fails to initialize in Windows until I power-cycle. I think this is mainly due to me having about 10 or 15 USB devices plugged in via hubs and USB ports. But that's not the norm.

I've also got 64 GB of ram and a pretty decent pair of NVMe SSDs so read speed isn't really a limiting factor for startup time.
It's also a quick visual way to ensure that you and the computer agree on what the code parses as. You might think that's a keyword, but maybe a few screenfuls up you didn't escape something right and you're still in a string constant. Automatic indentation can help but... well, isn't that kind of childish, too?
Andrew Zimmern would surely eat them and maybe has done. He's eaten everything else. I recall him saying the only things he will not eat are Durian and oatmeal (texture thing).

Editing to say he did eat grubs on one episode and said something along the lines of it feeling like a massive pop of pus in his mouth. I swore then I would never follow suit.
> The OOM killer is just fine for stateless server applications, but pretty much anything else and it's a disaster waiting to happen.

I won't say there's no circumstance in which the OOM killer is worse, but in general I disagree with you.

A stateful server application: maybe a standard ACID DBMS like PostgreSQL. I'd much rather it get killed (failing whatever transactions were in progress) and restart in a healthy state than continue to run slowly. Here I'm relying on a correct implementation of Durability, but if you don't have that, you have other problems.

Even more so for a quorum-based database server in which the leader dying (and another taking over) is much better than continuing to run slowly.

And yes, even more so in stateless servers, particularly when there are several of them. Going down and restarting quickly (a brief loss of capacity, a brief spike of errors if the client doesn't retry) is a lot better than continuing to be slow (a sustained loss of capacity, possibly leading to cascading overload; and user-visible latency problems if there's no hedging).

For something like a desktop application, it's debatable, but personally I'd still rather endure the up-front nuisance of having to restart it than have the OS try to paper over it until I finally realize why it's so painful and do something about it. (Insert anecdote about frog boiling here; I hear frogs actually do jump out before they boil, but yet somehow the story still rings true, if you know what I mean.)
Think of it more like a DDOS. If they break into your house, you have bigger worries. If they break into the houses of a hundred thousand strangers, and use them to demonstrate that their site should get all the search results and your site goes on page 5, what can you do?
A polaroid, or the artful b&w 10x8 developed in photography class can just as easily be passed round half a school in one break or lunch time, or left on teacher's desk. Or sent in to a 1990s Reader's Wives magazine, then publication would have come down to whether they looked school age or not.

That it can spread wider, go viral, or be manipulated is a case against any electronic communication in place of paper or film photography. The choice to send it further is the problem not the medium.
The Alaska budget cuts are not only to the University. Deep cuts across the board with services Governor Dunleavy feels are unnecessary taking the biggest hit (public health, university, public ferry transportation). However, according to Alaska's constitution the government must come up with a balanced budget. They have failed to do so since revenue shortfalls began. The previous governor used a stopgap measure of using the only part of the PFD that isn't constitutionally protected. His actions are akin to digging through your neighbors couch cushions for change. The money that was used isn't for running the government. But, since it wasn't constitutionally protected like the actual fund the legislators took what they wanted to avoid making hard choices.

The media focusing on Dunleavy wanting to pay residents what is constitutionally granted is a distraction. Alaska is in dire financial straits. Without severe budget cuts or a way to dramatically increase revenue Alaska will be bankrupted.

For clarity, the Permanent Fund (the investment fund), is constitutionally protected and fed by oil revenue. The Permanent Fund Earnings Fund (that PFD checks are paid from) is not constitutionally protected and is what politicians raided.
Do you have a decent GPU? Because electron is GPU accelerated and probably would make a difference. I have heard complaints from people with integrated graphics not getting a smooth experience.

I'm very sensitive to issues like that and I find it buttery smooth. Though I am running it on a rather highly performance system.
> I think the issue with kids today is that they aren't going to have sex enough to reproduce themselves,

Birth rates might be a problem, but I don't think the amount of sexual acts is the limited factor.
For these maggots, our waste is it's fuel. Biology's produced a whole bunch of bizarre, extremely niche DNA coded self replicating machines. If the machinery is already there, and the ethical concerns are minimal, why not exploit them?
Most CI systems support running builds automatically on an interval, and I think some support time ranges as well.

In a way a lot of this CI/CD stuff was easier when you ran it on your CI system.
Crazy according to whom, which metric? This is a baseless, offensive commenting intending to insult people you don't like for whatever reason.
Well there's your problem. Stop working for morons. :D
> a content management system served through an API

That phrase doesn't make any sense.

> legacy render-based CMS like Wordpress / Joomla where the database is completely tied to framework will decrease

That's exactly what I said.

> It’s also important to note that your CMS isn’t bound to any render-full GUI like WordPress but instead can be managed from anywhere as long as you have the APIs for it.

I think you may be getting the front-end GUI and back-end GUI mixed up. A headless CMS omits the front-end GUI, but includes a back-end (content management) GUI. It admittedly also includes a light CRUD API over the database, so it's slightly more than I initially said, but not much.

Here's a more in-depth explanation. Maybe this will clear things up for you: https://css-tricks.com/what-is-a-headless-cms/

I use FreeNAS (FreeBSD NAS with ZFS). The ZFS snapshotting feature effectively gives me protections from this type of issue.

My home computers push backups regularly throughout the day, and every day I create snapshots of each volume (how long to keep the snapshots is another question). This snapshot can only be accessed or managed on the NAS itself.

This effectively creates an append-only backup NAS thanks to the periodic snapshots.
"the personalized content that today’s always-on consumers crave..."

No, they don't. You want to sell it, which is not the same thing.
Many beans and lentils are protein dense. For example, Soybeans have more protein than chicken.
That's not necessarily true. Especially for beginners - they often end up in driver (un)availability hell for some component or another.
Very interesting!

Rust normally prevents a lot of memory safety problems, but those are not the only kind of security problem in a crypto system. Obviously the library has to correctly implement the spec (and expectations of users), which just using Rust doesn't guarantee. More importantly, a crypto library also has to avoid leaking crypto data through various side channels. Just using Rust doesn't help with that; "Crypto Coding" at https://github.com/veorq/cryptocoding lists some rules to help address that.

Anyone know if rustls has worked on those issues as well? I notice that rustls uses ring, which asserts on https://github.com/briansmith/ring that "Most of the C and assembly language code in ring comes from BoringSSL, and BoringSSL is derived from OpenSSL. ring merges changes from BoringSSL regularly."

It doesn't matter if it's fast if it doesn't do things correctly...!
Yeah, as a technical person there isn't much point to using a CMS unless you want a WYSIWYG editor or something. I suppose it could help ensure data integrity if you're using a noSQL DB.
Great work on this!
NANOG has a good thread going (as one can imagine...).
Good post here:

I took the parent comment to be making the assumption that politically attractive options for responding to emissions and climate change tend to be "market-based" solutions or activities that are picking winners between industries (say solar manufacturers and installers vs. coal plant workers). If there is a choice where there is a "winner" with money on the line there will also be lobbying money put toward that effort and so consensus building is easier.

There isn't necessarily anything nefarious about this, just that it may be incapable of dealing with the enormity of climate climate and also, as OP intimates, there may be a class of solutions that are better/cheaper/more efficient from a policy perspective, but that don't have anyone positioned to gain financially from them and so are harder to garner support for.
Really? On HN I only see work history cited to establish themselves as a primary source (avoiding a response of “citation?”) or to ethically disclose bias.
I was always puzzled by how laws that treat cases where the same person is both victim and culprit for the very same thing work. Is a failed suicide treated as attempted murder?
ZFS Snapshots are really handy - it takes root access to remove them and you can't delete them with the normal UNIX delete. IF you're sharing with Samba or NFS, there's no way for any remote user to be able to delete.

You just go back to the last good version.

If such a national law were passed with funding guaranteed for open publication of records, I would endorse your point of view.

No such funding exists, and municipalities are regularly denied tax increases by their voters for any reason — much less public records publication that would often embarrass and humiliate those same voters.

So in essence you're asking them to cut public services and staffing in order to give hundreds of dollars of IT costs a month to for-profit businesses who can't be bothered to pay some small fraction of their revenue for the costs of delivering those records.

It is our civic responsibility to republish those records for free as citizens. Doing so for profit at the expense of citizens is unethical.

If OP republishes all records received in a freely-downloadable, unrestricted form, then I would happily help them fix their scrapers. They, of course, do not.
Drawbridge, you configure a firewall to allow access only at certain times. Also you can configure a NAS so that deleted items are preserved without a admin removing them.
Windows and mac have sync too

Sync to where? To other Windows or macs? Limited usability. Dropbox was the first to offer true seamless sync at scale, across ALL common OS/devices.

Dropbox has a relevancy problem

That's like saying email is dead because FB can embed videos on posts. Like the Quora guy said, we don't want crap. Email will still be around 10y from now, and Dropbox has, at a minimum, another 5.

Though not a strict requirement of the religion, veganism has been common practice in the Jains of India for thousands of years. Some Jain monks even sweep the floor as they walk to avoid killing bugs.

Not to mention Buddhist monks in some Asian countries were effectively vegan because dairy was just not part of their diet.

Besides that, though low in numbers, veganism has been active in the West for several generations.

So veganism has been tested alot more than, for example, the relatively new practice of eating meat and dairy contaminated with antibiotics and HGH.

And what happens when they ignore you? I've reached out to tons of website operators to ask for machine readable access to their data on academic, personal and professional projects, I have never gotten a reply and had to resort to scraping.
I am not worried about microsoft stopping developing it, i am worried about microsoft putting companies out of business using free products, which they then use to cross sell their closed source ides and as a marketing tool. If they are so open source friendly why dont they open source their visual studio, or windows, at least the older eol versions - so we can learn something out of their code, as per open source’s principles?

That’s right. Because they don’t care. They want a marketing product, dumped and aimed at commercial ide developers. VSCode is a free product, with the source code made available and developed by people for free, and for the benefit of microsoft.
And it's not possible to feed it to the chicken directly or mixing it into their soy feed?
Why do something that is so complicated and time consuming to implement when charging $3.50 is good enough? Its easier for him, as he can use already made tools, and its easier for me because I don't have to add all this extra overhead (and money) to a project. It's just $3.50 and a header.
Nope, just plain old basic million year old human nature. Always been there, always will.

That would only solve paying for services if you are an amoral service provider and don't care where the money really comes from as long as you get paid.

It doesn't do anything for people who don't want their services used by bad actors, which is increasingly the case these days - see all the people concerned about privacy and how big tech companies use their data. It's not going to help for anything social where you are trying to promote pro-social usage and discourage anti-social usage, however you define it.

Those concerns inevitably lead to things like "know your customer" and supply-chain policing. You can still build nice services, but not anonymous ones.

The issues are pretty much the same as TOR. Some people are willing to run TOR nodes because the good outweighs the bad, others get squeamish about child pornography and say: no thanks.

And that's why it's an API. If the "have I been owned" database were harmless and there were no concerns about bad actors, it would be a torrent, not a service.

I don't empathize with your viewpoint because, whether it's a web scraper, or a person, the work is exactly the same. There's no additional volume, or extra steps. We just emulate a worker.

We measure the value in FTEs, and when a researcher quits, we do not replace them if the appropriate FTEs have been reached with projects.

It's a major benefit to the business not only because we don't have to pay another employee, but we can reduce training costs, and costs incurred by mistakes. We can also adjust execution of one of these agents, which normally would require rearrangement of work instructions, and retraining.

These are public records, 90% of them do not have integrations for automated systems, and those that do, we utilize. They are typically search boxes with results. We are not circumventing any type of cost that would otherwise be incurred.

We do not log any of the results, store them locally, or maintain any of the PII with each search. If a case was searched 20 minutes ago, and comes up again, we rerun the entire thing just as a human would.

Finally, to your point about 'help me with my homework', I consider posting on the HN forums homework for this type of research. There are a diverse set of talented developers on here with esoteric experience. The fact that an article related to the work I do came up on here, I thought, was an excellent opportunity to seek advice and perspective.
Never underestimate the potential impact of stupid people in large numbers.
