There are multiple problems:

1) How do we deal with the fact that an Internet mob can horribly damage a random individual?

This is a really serious issue. Even a single stalker can cause a nightmare for a person and they will have difficulty fighting back. An Internet mob can be completely devastating. There needs to be some way for an individual to cost effectively fight back against online "assault"--especially when it's a mob.

2) How do we deal with the whole "stochastic terrorism" problem?

Stirring up a bunch of people until finally one of them does something horrific and then sitting back and saying "But I didn't say to go shoot them, I only posted their picture and name with cross-hairs." needs to have some penalty. We didn't used to care about this because only the truly powerful could say "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?" and have grievous harm come about. Now, with the Internet, you can be much less powerful and have your words reach far more people--some of whom will be sufficiently disturbed to carry things out.

3) Facebook and Google are effectively monopolies. How do we deal with that?

We have historically dealt with monopoly by forcing breakups. The lack of monopoly actions in the last several decades has brought us to where these behemoths have no fear.
It might be a good idea, although I fear that if I only fix one node framework and keep the rest intact it will create a false impression that that framework is somehow amazing.

Still better than a false impression that nodejs is somehow slow.

They really need some QC though.
I don't think it's a fundamental binary API limitation type thing as the issue does not exist in Windows Enterprise or Server. This was covered the last time this was posted https://www.anandtech.com/show/15483/amd-threadripper-3990x-...
I agree with the tone of this article, it ends with "these rules are meant to be broken," which is great. The only rule I agree with strongly is Don't do partnerships. Unless you're in a position where people ask you for a partnership, it never works well.

My company spent a lot of time chasing partnerships which on paper make perfect sense, but always got stuck in some middle-management layer where everybody says it's great but nobody really cares.
Do you feel you have a good sense of what things “help” the Chinese government?

Do you feel clear on what their short, medium, and long term objectives are?

I’m sure I don’t.

It seems obvious there is at least some potential benefit to causing your biggest competitor for military and economic influence a bunch of costly problems ... but I truly have no idea what any of these leaders are thinking about.
I've always wondered why Amazon's own CodePipeline service could not deploy a commit of a HTML/CSS static sites straight to S3. They can deploy from CodeCommit straight to Elastic Beanstalk easily enough, but for years I have been asking for an S3 bucket as a destination which would make deploying our static website a piece of cake.

As it is, we have had to use BitBucket as the repo for our website, and we use the Pipelines feature on there to deploy to S3. Would be nice not to have to use a third party service to do something that AWS's own infrastructure makes unreasonably complex and difficult.
For data flow in industrial programming look at IEC 1131 which is a major standard. It's a different world and, no, it doesn't seem to leak out to the mainstream despite there being some very interesting solutions to i/o heavy concurrent problems.
> fetishization of the latest software development fads

Fetisization is a term I will likely be using more now.

> watch other people flush their own money down the drain

I'm not concerned with a lack of cost efficiency, unless my team's job (and income) security is risked due to a failure to deliver in a timely fashion.

I also tire of arguing about why I won't deploy a 4 node K8S cluster and am therefore not a team player.

> there are worse places to be than being paid well

Definitely a good counter point to the positive.
Not really Georgist - just an acknowledgment of the basic authoritarian nature of capitalism
I was in the business pre-tube. I learned a lot too.

It’s probably very different now but affiliate shaving, spamming, cpc fraud were all ubiquitous in the late 90s/early 2000s.
This is my major problem with the US system. Also lots of doctors or dentists will require you to have unnecessary procedures which pile on to the costs. And they will refuse to provide you service unless you get them oftentimes too.

It's almost just as bad as the collegiate system here as well. Except the college system you can somewhat anticipate costs. Insurance is a total gamble.
I'm sorry but why can't you just call a few functions in your normal handler and then just return the normal type of object that Lambda wants?

This all seems to be pretty useless indirection to me.
Yes, reading the article is depressing because very very few companies have non-clown-driven product development.
Indeed. I just found out that in 2019 alone, over 230 bombings took place in Sweden, more than any other Western country.

I really don't understand why this myth persists. Ideological blinders or obstinate ignorance.
They are getting what they want because they lobby as much as they do, not in spite of them.
Zero sum means there is a fixed amount that is distributed between all participants.

Inequality means that the distribution over available resources is uneven. Inequality can occur in the presence of growth if the gains from growth are not distributed equitably. I.e. inequality does not imply zero sum.

To the extent that economics agree on anything they seem to agree that wage growth has stagnated since, roughly, the 1970s, inequality is rising, and gains from growth are disproportionately going to the richest.

Finally, the census measurements capture data at an instant in time. At any one instant there is a fixed amount of $s in the economy and it's a mathematical fact that comes from the definition of median that you cannot have samples (i.e. income) higher than the median without having samples lower than the median.
All rents follow a standard model based on a number of parameters, but it's purposely constructed to enable lower-income household to aquire apartments in attractive locations. At the time of inception, the construction was considered an alternative to dedicated social housing.

Do try Eastern Europe then. English is spoken in most places where it makes sense to run a startup and you won't have to deal with corruption as you're not doing real estate or working for the local government. Plus you have different EU tax jurisdictions, at least until Bruxelles screws things up.
It might change depending on exactly how you define efficiency but the UK system scores highest in some global comparisons in terms of bang for buck.

From the way you phrase it I assume you actually mean inefficient service, like you'd get at a high end restaurant or hotel, where they have lots of people hanging around doing nothing a lot of the time so no one ever feels they're being treated less than a VIP in busy periods.

This is the same tagged video I shared in my previous post but without the need for any server-side requests and you can amend yourself: https://tagx.io/video/youtube/7-31KgImGgU/55:52-1:03:30@name...
I'd say crystal really combines the advantages of a powerful type system with the advantages of duck typing.
Fortunately, the author wrote a great many other articles that go far further. It seems to me like the article is fine for what it is, it's just calling out a problematic pattern that commonly exists. It doesn't pretend to prescribe that to fix this pattern you need to do the opposite of every one of his bullet points. He instead writes lots of other articles dealing with the nuances of how to do better.

But it also sounds that you're worried about engineers constantly challenging product manager's decisions? I don't think that's the implied end state. Engineers don't see all the input to PM's decisions, and yes it would be more comfortable for the PMs if the engineers just trusted them to get it right all the time. But we (I'm an engineer) aren't dumb. We know nobody gets it right all the time, and we don't expect you to. But if we never learn which things worked out and which didn't, and some of the why, then what you're asking for is faith, not trust.

You don't need to include engineering in the decision making (at least, not more than you need for feasibility and cost estimates.) You do need to include engineering in the feedback loop, because we're not dumb monkeys whose only value is in realizing your vision. We know more about what's possible, and how to overcome some types of challenges with relatively little effort compared to the cannon that you'd need to (ask us to) build.
Samson Mow: Bitcoin Is a Way to Prevent an Orwellian Future
I was in web hosting, we hosted over 120k sites at our peak. Rent a /21 for a week? No problem. Interesting times for sure.
They are “too” affordable due to rent control, especially in the city centre. Leading to people viewing a contract as an asset that shouldn’t be given up for free but rather traded for another contract or sold (illegal).
They've been losing money, but it seems both their revenue and their staff has doubled in the past few years. I was surprised, but they actually look reasonably healthy.
I’ve only worked at one large company in my life - at the time it was a Fortune 10 non tech company. I didn’t have a name in any official sign on or documentation. I had an “SSO number”. My 2nd level manager wouldn’t have known me if he bumped into me in the street.

I worked at a startup where the founder thought he was irreplaceable since he was the only one who knew how to modify and compile the custom C/MFC custom IDE/VM/compiler that he developed and everyone in the company had been using for years before I got there.

They somehow convinced him to show me how everything worked since I was the only person who had a C++/MFC low level optimization background. As soon as they were comfortable that I could do it, the board pushed him out, laid off a bunch of other developers and gave me the responsibility.

His name was never mentioned again.
A pentest reports findings, and then regardless of how incompetent the programmers are, they are required to fix them. Then a retest happens, which verifies that the findings were fixed.

I've seen a trading application go from "typing ' will result inn SQL injection" to "basically bulletproof" due to this process.

Devs can become remarkably competent when their smugness is wiped away by finding some crucial vulnerabilities they overlooked.

I know it's tempting to believe that the design part matters, but it's also tempting to believe that a doctor's emotional support matters just as much as washing your hands.

Do a stint in the pentest industry. It's eye-opening. (Look into my eyes. I've seen things. Terrible... things...)
Perhaps you don't find 1k+/month to be a lot, but I think it is. Keep in mind the median income in the nation, amongst working people, is only 31k/year. And that's before taxes, rent, etc. Sure, if you have two working, healthy adults in a household, they can swing 1k, but it's still a huge expense to the average family.
I would say it's primarily a web application for note taking (there's some auxiliary capabilities around kanban boards, etc, but most people I know who use it, use it as a rich text editor).

I think where Notion differs from others, and where it has similarity to Org-Mode is it's ability to create 'blocks' with more dynamic behaviours (calendars, kanban blocks, tables) as well as how easy it is to create linkages between pages.
Regarding fremium, one thing I've had success with is to just not offer support for unpaid accounts. Need help? Go to the community forum. Want support? Pay for it.
Yes. This is a redefinition of a role though, this should be called Project manager.
Yes- there's a certain amount of relativism to it. A function that's externally pure may have its own internal State, just like an entire program that's externally pure may have its own internal state. A piece of data categorized this way must come with a "Relative to what?"
Without opening your console, consider whether the below code throws or not and why:

var a = []
var b = ''
var c = {}
[].concat.apply(a, [b, c])
I mean, let's say I am. So what? As long as the checks are clearing, not my business.
It's SaaS only, so no locally stored data.

The word "cache" was used to encompass remote values too; i.e. ones that an external system may derive from its own state, but where that component is behind a black box.
Not for Nvidia, they sold at $218/share with an average basis of $105/share.

I can't find a number for Uber alone, but they posted a $6.5B loss for Uber and WeWork together.
A non-transparent system is not one I'll define as a free market based system.
This website doesn't exist ... Or at least is down now
There aren't enough companies for the $1m bets. The Softbank Vision fund was closer to making 375 bets of $375m each.
Smugglers in Mexico use camouflage ladder to cross border wall
Every ad on YouTube makes me reconsider how badly I want to watch the video. Lots of times I just close YouTube and pull up Bitchute.
Thank you for your comment. I often feel that a part of HN judges jobs only based on income and blames you for not focusing on one or the other and thereby losing out on income or business growth.
However I, too, think that it's completely valid to stay at your main job while also working on side projects. Maybe you won't be the richest person in the room or turn your project into a huge success but being able to do stuff you love while not risking your peace of mind is worth something as well.
Oh you missed the step where the CEO waved her hands in the air and said "And of course all the other steps will be automated away too".

constexpr - Cool project!

For those of us with slow internet connections please change your Makefile to use a shallow clone:

```
github/three:
mkdir -p github
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js.git github/three -b r108
cd github/three && git checkout r108
```

This would save a couple of gigs and hours in download.

Just skimming your code I see variable mangling but no AST optimizations, is that correct? Which is odd because you show similar output sizes to the JS bundlers.
The Rust version probably could be made to work at an equivalent speed with enough effort. But at a high-level, Go was much more enjoyable to work with. This is a side project and it has to be fun for me to work on it. The Rust version was actively un-fun for me, both because of all of the workarounds that got in the way and because of the extremely slow compile times. Obviously you can tell from the nature of this project that I value fast build times :)

Was the Rust parser written by hand or did you use one of the parser frameworks (e.g. nom or pest) out there? nom, for instance, goes to great lengths to be zero-copy which would probably be a big benefit here.
a) [citation needed]

b) Define "something". If I take a year off to e.g. write a novel, do you really think that gap in my resume isn't going to affect me negatively if/when I start looking for jobs again?
> And unskilled workers earn less.

Is this actually true?
I work in a place that does this in 2 week sprints and that's probably the reason we're a public company with hundreds of millions in ARR.

We're also totally a feature factory and I know for a fact that I would hate to be on one of the development teams and am absolutely glad I do ops instead here.

The things we have the hardest time with are hiring and retaining senior talent and executing on difficult work that can't be accomplished over a period of a few sprints.
Right, you said that, but why would they assume some random third person tracked down the dependency?
I would guess less than half of those people ever use the coverage, and those that do still use the public option for more than half their medical needs. It's often bundled with employment packages with the idea that it provides some kind of insurance when a key member of staff need treatment and can be prioritised to jump some queues, but in everyday situations like when their kid falls off a bike and spits out some teeth, they're going to use the same service as everyone else, because it's simply quicker and more effective to do so.

Private insurance is very much a supplement, not a totally parallel system in the UK:

Thanks for trying it! Strange, I can't replicate that.

After a game, it should return you to categories with your category/categories still selected. Pressing next should start a game of the same category.

I'll dig into the server logs and see if I can figure it out. If you feel like it you can open a github issue.
Raising the price of one good usually causes the price of substitute goods to go up. For example, if the price of wheat goes up because of import duties, the price of rice will also go up as people switch from wheat to rice.

In the rent control example, many people held on to RC apartments because they were a great deal, even though they weren't where they wanted to live. After RC ended, they moved to apartments they preferred (since there was no longer a big price differential), increasing demand (and thus price) for the originally non-RC apartments.
It's precisely like e-mail. Would you say email's not federated?
The health of IBMers is our primary concern
As you say, the problem is not 8chan or "the daily stormer" for that matter. But it _is_ Facebook. Anything goes sites like 8chan have so much reality free and bizarre content that they have only the tiniest impact. Yet they provide insight into those mindsets and their trends.

But Facebook and Twitter inject extremely harmful falsehoods into reams of fluff and corporate posts. This gives them far more legitimacy, weight and exposure than they would otherwise have. And since those two have made agitating posts part of their business model, regardless of historic levels of societal harm, the problem is not fixed.

I would be appalled if anything I built were used to do such harm, I would use every ounce of my being to stop it. If necessary I would shut the whole thing down rather than have my name remembered forever as such a facilitator. Obviously Zuckerberg has a different mindset and is clearly no Alfred Nobel.
How Lifesaving Organs for Transplant Go Missing in Transit
Vision is good, but any product decision is still a guess about what will further your goals. Guesses can be right or wrong -- or if they are never wrong, then you're not doing anything that every other competitor in that space won't already be doing too. (And in that case, why have product management at all? Fire them and hire more engineers so you can follow the taillights faster.)
Has Boris Johnson been picking up tips from the Roman emperors?
Eh, if it applies to a wide-swath of companies then that's because a wide-swath of companies don't involve engineers in feature ownership.
Thank you! Now I just need to find it somewhere canonical besides HN so Wikipedia can reference it. Appreciate the myth busting!
CVE-2019-18683: Exploiting a Linux kernel vulnerability in the V4L2 subsystem
I doubt it.

Simulations based on PDEs, ODEs, or DAEs have a particular mathematical foundation. Within the bounds of their solvers, they deliver precise results and can actually forecast physical behavior.

If such an "emulator" is much better in many cases but completely wrong in just one, it is basically useless, as presumably the verification of a solution takes as long as a classical simulation.
I don't know, sometimes I enjoy the very cluttered and busy design of something like Yakuza 5.
What is the worst case loss of accuracy possible from the ML version?
I don’t think Facebook wants to control content, it’s hard, expensive, and hurts their reputation. It’s users and governments complaining that forces them into that game.
And what the do when they can't exploit said countries as much if they institute stronger labor laws?

Frankly I welcome companies to try and outsource their work. It almost never works out well because they pay garbage rates and get garbage code back. I have zero concerns about software jobs being outsourced.
an industry can be growing and still do well with less marketing/advocacy.
Nice work! Building from scratch without any caching is not the build time devs will be seeing 99% of the time, so it’s probably not the best benchmark.
Twitter has made up all their losses from 2010-2017 in just 2018 and 2019. They’re on pace to possibly hit $2B in profit in 2021. They are a pretty healthy, profitable company right now. Their PE ratio isn’t high for a tech company.
There's around two weeks total of holidays (spread over the entire year). There's also a vacation benefit, which typically starts at two weeks and increases the longer you stay. Big companies give more and a senior person at a large company may get 4 or 5 weeks a year. There may also be separate sick days.
Love the quote and the idea too. Check out Roam^1 which completely changed my relationship to note-taking.

Care to share in what positions such companies make such hires? I've looked around a few times over the years and have never found the slightest hint that they did such a thing.
When the dispute is only formal, yes, it's a subjective question whether both parties are important enough for us to take the dispute seriously. But when a border is disputed in the 'troops and border skirmishes' sense? Ignoring that is verging on denying physical reality.
There certainly are anodyne parts of 4chan--but they're obviously, to the point where your post comes off as disingenous, not the problem. Hell, they could migrate back to Something Awful, like a lot of us who grew up ended up doing. (Which, just recently, torpedoed FYAD, the last vestige of the edgelord era. The FYAD types seem to have fucked off to 4chan and elsewhere. Nobody was surprised.)

Hate speech is abhorrent and its purveyors should be ostracized from decent society. But you can deal with the crazy screamer on the streetcorner. The organizational facet is not merely distasteful but threatening. These are places to air doxxed information. They're places to gin up raids. Remember "4chan is not your personal army"? It isn't real anymore, if it ever was. For the last five years, 8chan in particular (largely because 4chan has an ownership group that maybe-just-maybe is scared of real consequences, which tells me that real consequences work) has been the personal army of a lot of sadsacks who, just to name one facet, really really really want to make the lives of women who have the temerity to make or talk about video games really horrible.

These places are literally-not-figuratively hives for fascists to radicalize the clueless, and that is a threat at a societal level.
And where is the source for this per capita number?
