> If you only use the web view for the GUI it should be pretty lean.

That only keeps your binary size lean. It doesn't help at all for your RAM/CPU usage issues.

So far nobody has made a lean web view in terms of RAM & CPU/GPU usage that can also handle modern JavaScript & CSS. It just doesn't exist currently.

> Also, the IPC overhead is only a problem in intensive use cases many of which can be mitigated by moving logic away from the web view and into your native layer.

That requires you to have a native layer at which point why bother with the limitations & complexities of a web view instead of just using QT, GTK, Swing, etc...?
Luckily, their protocol is interoperable, so I don't think you are required to use their app, even for their initial setup (not 100% sure on the last part, but I am about 90% there).

Their lights work great with HomeKit, as well as many other devices do. So instead of having a separate app for Kasa switches, app for Hue, app for LiFX, and an app for Nanoleaf, I can control them all straight from HomeKit. Considering that this is easily doable, it seems totally possible to do this with something other than just HomeKit as well.
Definitely because of the core DNA of the company, and structurally how the business model of Microsoft works.
EAS tags are notoriously simple to bypass for insiders.
I use a Conbee II dongle with deCONZ for all my Zigbee stuff, and try to use Zigbee wherever possible.

The Hue bulbs are great, and also act as repeaters, so I have those sprinkled throughout the house. But they're expensive, so I used Sengled bulbs for most of my fixtures. The Sengleds are endpoint-only, though. So I mix those two bulbs to keep the mesh dense but also save some money.

All my door sensors are the SmartThings units. I use a mix of SmartThings and IKEA Trådfri motion sensors. One SmartThings water leak detector in the basement, a SmartThings button, and a Trådfri 5-button remote.

I started this just to have a convenient way to control lights. My house is really old, and almost all lighting is table- and floor-lamps that I would have to walk around and turn on and off. Or ceiling lamps with pull cords.

But after getting into Home Assistant, I started going a little nuts with the automations.

My favorite one: A month ago I was getting ready for bed when I realized I left my oven on all day long. For 12 hours it was keeping the oven at 375˚F. But then I realized that I already have a motion sensor in the kitchen, and if I just moved it to the door of the oven, the built-in temperature sensor could be used to remind me that the oven was left on. So now I have a rule in my automations.yaml: If the kitchen temperature exceeds the living room temperature by more than 10˚F for more than an hour, send a notification to my phone that I left the oven on.
It’s probably because of bilingualism and fanatical focus on accessibility.
Do you oppose security guards in general, or only off-duty police officers working as security guards? I ask because as far as I can tell the practical alternative is to hire some guy who flunked out of the police academy and became a security guard instead, which seems... worse.

Personally I navigate life without hiring any security guards. But I recognize that some people and/or circumstances might have legitimate need for one.
A simple solution to global warming, shade the planet
Im skeptical this would work for anything bigger than paint flakes and possibly some very small fragments the size of tiny bolts.

The thing is at orbital speeds colisions are VERY energetic events that don't behave likey normal low speed collisions. The thing coliding effectively turn into rapidly expanding plasma before any of the expected plastic deformation, shearing, etc. one would expect on a low speed collision (say a truck in full speed hotting a wall).

When you think about it, this effectively all the fuel and oxydizer that has been used to place the given object into orbit releasing all it's energy at once in a very small area.

As an example let's say your steel plate manged to hit a 700 kg satellite at ~8 km/s, which is perfectly possible with, with the worst case being a 16 km/s combined in a head on collision. How much energy will get released ?

Say the sattelite has been put in orbit using thr Soyuz 2 launcher, which can accelerate up to 7000 kg to tje orbital speed of 8 km/s. Soyuz 2 weighs about 312 tons, more than 90% of which is fuel and oxydizer. It could launch 10 of our 700 kg satellites.

This effectively means a 700 ks sattelite hittimg your 8 ton steel plate is equivalent of a point detonation of ~30 tons of perfect mixture of liquid oxygen and kerosene.

I don't tging a 8 ton steel plate will survive that in any usable shape.

If there's a traffic jam, that's the employers problem.

For 'going somewhere else after work', it wouldn't be officially allowed - you are still working till you arrive home. Obviously some workplaces could perhaps allow flexibility as a benefit.
Personal experience, FWIW: Once you have enough experience and a large enough network to generally not worry about jobs/starving, it makes sense to find more fulfilling jobs. There are plenty in tech, and if you are good, you can be selective. If you are really good, your former colleagues will constantly be telling you about new opportunities and you can be very selective.

I ended up doing a startup full time (3yrs) for a cause I liked (diagnosing TB, with the goal of giving away the product to lower income nations.) Product success, market failure, but personal success and i'm very happy I did it.

I was very selective with my current employer as well -- I really chose an engineering team I could respect and learn from and I'm happy about that.

I realize not everyone has the ability to be selective (perhaps luck, skillset, geography), but if you do, you can be very happy.

The most bizarre aspect of mental illness is a few of them can actually be treated by drugs which are a huge blunt instrument. While nothing is going to be a panacea it seems possible possible for TMS to aid in a subset of mental problems for at least a subset of patients.

I think the larger concern is people overselling any treatment. That’s especially true for anything even slightly experimental. Which is why Medicine is mostly taught from rote memorization over experimentation. That may occasionally fail some people, but as a system it’s avoiding a host of issues.

The feedback doesn't have to be very fast. If I'm botting correctly, my accounts will almost never be banned. Even once every 24 hours will be more than enough.

IA was just an example, and Tor would be easier. But anyway, I think it shows the flaw in doing so:

> You could also shadowban IA.

If the spammer manages to get all the IPs hellbanned just by looking at things, he gets more eyeballs on his spam.

My point is, you can't get much better than normal shadowbans, which are trivially detectable for moderately sophisticated users (just log out and try to check your profile) but not anyone else. "Hellbanning" is a stupid extension of this concept which only works in video games.

Also, shadowbanning is a spineless and deeply unethical move. If I get banned, I know what I did wrong and can reflect on that. If I get shadowbanned, I'm just screaming into the ether. That is not a Good Thing™, it is atrocious.

>But part of me feels an obligation to be informed to hold those in power accountable.

I'm curious though, how does the average citizen hold those in power accountable? OK so you vote, but tons of other people vote and are often uninformed about what is going on or are completely apathetic. The recent news about Roger Stone's sentencing to me proves how little power we as average citizens have in actually holding others accountable, especially when those in power have ties to other rich, powerful, and well connected people.

I actually have had the pleasure of porting a program from a defunct 16-bit language called Actor to C++. It wasn't a huge deal even at around 800 kLOC. All mainstream languages in the future are going to have some combination of structured, functional, and object-oriented programming. Converting is mostly going to be about syntax and libraries.

As someone who has worked with C and C++ for living for over 20 years, I wouldn't think twice about picking either Go or Rust if I were to start again. Go gives you the fast edit/compile/test loop of an interpreted language with the runtime speed of a compiled language. Rust is the language that the C++ Committee would make if they could start over.

That being said, Go will never take over the C, C++, and Rust niche. Going to and from Go-land and C-land is too expensive. Google has no interest in stepping behind libraries that aren't internet servers. Go will live a long life as a great environment to port your Python, Ruby, and other bloated server languages. It just will never be the next language to write a web browser.

Rust is amazing though. I see this as the programming language of the future until the U.S. Government slams down the hammer and forces everyone to use DOD-approved Ada.

Validated equivalent means that you don't necessarily need to be a company on the fundraising path in order to make it into the program.

So if a self-funded company comes to us and shows they have sales traction, then we can take them to our field sales team, make a target list of companies, and get them intro'd to the right accounts to close deals.

No, this is not out of the goodness of our hearts (although I do know my team has good hearts also :).

The point of the program is to get companies on Azure (a strong platform from a technical perspective), and the best way to keep companies on Azure is to provide value via technology and sales.

If you're closing more deals with us, you will have to consume more Azure in order to service those deals.

> Microkernels; EPIC architectures like IA-64; object request brokers; and 1990s’-style neural nets are gone, and will not return.

I am not entirely convinced that they are gone:

- Xen is essentially a modern microkernel. The most popular "microkernel" from the 1980s, Mach/BSD, evolved into Xnu/Darwin which powers macOS and iOS. L4 and other microkernels still exist.

- VLIW lives on inside GPUs as well as x86-compatible CPUs

- ORBs turned into microservices

- Neural Nets turned into Deep Learning
The facts look quite similar to me. I think the difference is law. The Amazon case was based on U.S. law and the Apple case on California law. In the Amazon case, the ruling said "These arguments are properly presented to the employer at the bargaining table, see 29 U. S. C. §254(b)(1), not to a court in an FLSA claim."

EDIT: There's a thread about this farther down: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22322608
i'm sure there are simple enough solutions that can be put in place to prevent theft and reduce theft to a small # of items, something that apple takes into account in their pricing model anyways. Store security cams, etc can also help.
But that didn't happen, because Obama understood the rule of law, you can't defend Trump illegal actions by saying that if Obama had done that then the "leftists" would be cheering that.

Mouse events still don't pass through to tmux which makes it unusable in every day usage. In other words, if you use tmux and have Vim open and try to click into Vim or any tmux window, nothing happens. This also happens without tmux too if you're just using terminal Vim. It's like the event gets absorbed and thrown out.

I highly recommend to check out WSLtty if you're interested in a good WSL terminal: https://github.com/mintty/wsltty

It has equally as low input latency, really good keyboard shortcut support, clickable URLs, tmux works perfectly (with and without the mouse), it's rock solid, uses almost no resources, has smaller / less distracting window borders vs MS' terminal and it has lots of themes. I've been using it for full time development with tmux + terminal Vim for almost a year now and it hasn't failed me yet.
If it does SGR 53 overline, with tmux 3 it'll be able to have some really nice status lines.
Homomorphic Encryption, Zero Knowledge Proofs, and Post-Quantum Crypto, Oh My
NuCypher is a cryptography company that builds privacy-preserving infrastructure for the new web.

A successful candidate does not need to have prior experience in cryptography as they will work very closely with a cryptographer to build out the system. However, they should be a quick learner and comfortable around math (e.g. linear algebra, probability, number theory).

A successful candidate will lead engineering for the new open-source cryptographic product from the ground up. They will work on problems at the forefront of cryptography and have a leadership role in design decisions of the system. As such, competency in algorithms and low-level design is a must. An interest in compilers and/or optimization would be nice to have. Given the nature of an early stage product, a successful candidate should work in a fast and iterative style when it comes to prototyping. They will be be motivated by solving tough open-ended problems. Additionally, they should be highly comfortable working in a system programming language such as C or Rust (whether through work experience or side projects).

We offer highly competitive compensation and a highly flexible working environment (remote-first, headquartered in San Francisco).

Responsibilities:

* Design and build the core infrastructure of a new cryptographic system (alongside a cryptographer);
* Lead the engineering side of the product;
* Implement cryptographic primitives (including zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption) and write robust, security-first code that will run in high-risk, adversarial environments;
* Contribute to research;
* Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.

Competencies:

* Proficient in a system programming language such as C or Rust (also open to those proficient in a functional programming language);
* Competency in algorithms and low-level design;
* Confidence working with multiple programming languages;
* Comfortable around math;
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical issues to a non-technical audience.

Bonus Points:

* Math background and/or strong interest in math;
* Background in compilers and/or optimization;
* Familiarity with applied cryptography and advanced cryptographic concepts like lattice-based cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs;
* Experience with designing and/or implementing large-scale distributed systems;
* Any experience, professional or amateur, working in security engineering, appsec, or other information security roles is a plus (hackers are welcome!).

This kind of shit is why companies export labor to other countries. American workers are so expensive for so many reasons unrelated to the actual labor, and it's all because worker rights have moved from the realm of "what needs to be" to "what should be". Of course it would be ideal if your employer paid you for the time it took to search you after work, but this is a luxury. Sure Apple has the money to hire that next employee even with these additional costs, but they won't because they don't legally have to. We need to move away from demands like these to demands that matter, otherwise a lot of Americans will be unemployed because the costs unrelated to labor will make it financially unreasonable for Apple to employ more people.
Not exactly. We solved it teaming with wolves for mutual benefit.

Hahaha. Anyway, most of the reaction I've seen to this is less of the "conspiracy theory" variety, and more, "wow Tom Perez and the DNC leadership are totally incompetent and need to be fired yesterday." Whether we reach that point through the "conspiracy theory" door or the "incompetence" door, it's obvious they need to go.

Hell, that's exactly what I want from most of my favorite bands when they release a new album, I just want more of what I liked before, maybe with a few new things thrown in but it's extremely unlikely (more like never) that I end up enjoying new albums where the band makes very different music than previous albums.

For me it absolutely set the initial tone, and that tone continued for more than a decade. Its incredibly hard to work through, and it won't ever go completely away. One plus is it gives you an "outsiders" perspective on a lot of things, which can mean you get to be correct a lot when other's can't see patterns they're caught up in.

The hardest part for me at the moment is that the feeling of friendship is so fleeting, and it turns me into a people pleaser when its not necessary. I trick myself into believing that if someone isn't actively enjoying my presence, they are souring on me or are reconsidering our relationship. That belief also means its hard to keep up friendships since I often think a relationship is "over" when it could be kept up.
