Less dependencies = less layers of indirection and complexity making feature addition, iteration, testing, and debugging easier and much faster. If you need to change or tweak a function that a dependency usually covers, it's much easier to do if you're dealing with one single codebase (using same style, idioms, build structure, etc...). You don't have to worry about pinning or unpinning dependency versions and keeping track of their security issue, patches, and minor/major bumps.

It's ridiculously easy to turn any Bluetooth device into a beacon. All you have to do is configure the BLE advertising frame for the device and then set the device to advertise. I can turn my laptop into a beacon in about 5 minutes(some web searching to remember exact commands and formats).
Echoing this sentiment. I think there's value in consolidating parts of the JS toolchain as there's a lot of variability there with how you can adjust your build system and pick your flavor of the week linter/formatter/bundler/etc. I'm not sure how 'no deps' is a a feature though, aside from (potentially) less packages to download during development.
Ask HN: What's Going on with Resealable Packaging?
It seems like easily 50% of resealable packaging that I buy now is breaking. Usually it's that the area where the mechanism is glued to the bag separates from the bag so in an instant it ceases to be resealable. As more and more products comes in packaging like this (which would otherwise be convenient) it becomes increasingly frustrating. So much so that I personally have started returning the product to the grocery store regardless of what it is.

Does anybody know what has changed recently? Have they started using some kind of cheaper glue or less amounts of glue?
For me was Calculating God by Robert J. Sawyer, in which an alien appears at the Royal Ontario Museum and asks to speak with their paleontologist. Through that book, GoL was my on-ramp to all kinds of cellular automata, a-life, and procedural generation techniques that I still find fascinating.

Data point from Applied Science: view count is constant over last 90 days. Ad revenue is down maybe 10%. Patreon is up slightly. Patreon has always been a really good idea for YT creators, and it's even better now.
There are multiple competing delivery services and at least some of them have a history of charging below cost. It would initially appear that this is a good problem to leave to the free market: in the absence of regulation, the price charged will get pretty close to the delivery company's cost of doing business.

Why did the market fail here?
One thing that I've never disliked about hiring managers asking for side projects, is that when I work on one, I do what interests me. I like trying new things, experimenting on stuff that I don't know how it will turn out. When I get bored or I hit a dead end, I stop. A lot of it is unfinished and messy. It's for me, not anyone else. My time is valuable, especially outside of work.

So what you're saying is that all end to end encryption is futile and we might as well get rid of it? Let's not build this in, even opportunistically, for nobody because very few people use it?

Because saying "individual users don't want to be arsed to self-manage their encryption keys" + that service providers could keep your keys but then you might as well not have e2ee in the first place + that the UX is "impossible" to solve, is exactly that.
The hard part about e2e is that it only gets you anything if none of the parties involved are being surveilled after decryption. This is easily within the capabilities of any adversary worth worrying about.
That, and they're selling something that people are vastly more likely to check out at this moment in time, so all they really need to do is bid a bit higher than all the others who have tuned their bids down.

Another ADDer here. I have two modes of operation: hyper focused or not. Things that require focus, like deep reading mean I need to switch operating modes. I have oodles of ways to address this issue so I only chose a few. Maybe one helps.

Ways I do that:
1. Be really interested in the content — not sure if this works with a non add brain, but it really doesn’t matter where I am, if it’s interesting I’ll jump right down that rabbit hole. Not sure that helps you but maybe can create some parameters for experimentation (like is there a pattern with your interest level and if so how can you mitigate that)
2. Meditation - specifically working with the breath. It takes 30s-3min for me to reboot my brain between tasks. Not much of an investment and in my experience it works.
3. Printing stuff out — i find it much easier to read deep if I have it on paper
4. Copying into an editor and editing — this is my goto for boring reads because it uses a different part of my brain that reading alone
5. At the end of each paragraph I ask myself “what was the point of that?” This is a habit that takes time to develop. At first you may get through an entire article without asking but eventually you can catch yourself sooner.
Regarding OpenBSD and security it is far easier to have secure system when starting with everything disabled and only enabling what is needed. When things are enabled by default often disabling them breaks something, and to not waste time creating extra problems most people leave them enabled.

OBSD also has a lot of changes that increase security overall. They prioritise security over performance. It's not just the minimal installation.

Regarding Docker vs BSD Jails (or more correct comparison is LXC vs BSD Jails) is that containers in Linux is combination of namespaces + cgroups. That design gives much more flexibility, but is far far harder to make them secure. There was a submission not long ago taking about it.
~20k gates total (ShapeCPU was ~30k gates), but the _real_ bottleneck for FHE computing is the longest path from input to output as FHE computers are highly parallel.

I am sure I had a stat for the longest path from input to output, but I'm a few years swapped out on this project.

Note that adding pipelining to a CPU drastically reduces the longest path. ShapeCPU is not pipelined at all which probably means there's a bunch of low-hanging fruit.
I wish I could opt out of USPS delivery. I'll pay a subscription to do it. Seriously. I'll pay $10/month for the USPS to shred everything that doesn't require a direct signature from me. I agree that it should remain solvent and free for everyone, but I want to improve my experience and also contribute to the solvency.
A lot more expenses for Amazon on their very low margin grocery (retail) business. People are panic-buying AMZN stock expecting this to reflect in a higher profits, which is very questionable. If Prime subscribers can't get their same/next day deliveries, Amazon might not get enough new subs, but could rather start losing them.
My evidence might or might not be persuasive to you, but I did present it (in related comments) in detail. :)

In my part of Europe the postal service was privatized a long time ago. It works fine, the guarantees on service and rights to privacy etc were put into law and apply to other shipping/postal companies as well. It's a net win for consumers because rates dropped, "order before 16:00 for next day delivery" has become 23:59 and the privacy guarantees now apply also to FedEx/UPS/DHL/other carriers.

The group that has all the downsides of this are the postal workers. What used to be a government job with almost no way to get fired and amazing benefits is now a commercial job with higher performance requirements and less benefits.
Okay, well I completely misread your comment haha.
Better ZFS support would be a good technical reason to use one system over another, so it makes sense to mention it. I did not get the vibe of ZFS being FreeBSD thing either.

This is so true. What’re your 1yr, 3yr, 5yr returns and vol? In these strategies a consistent track record makes no sense because you’re planning for events with different magnitude of impact and frequency than the norm.

Couldn't agree with you more, but Microsoft and other proprietary software makers have the same right (to dictate what people can do with their software). For some reason, GNU believes (as RMS has stated in various talks) that not sharing software is immoral.

Now, is not sharing software immoral because (1) it can be copied at no cost, or (2) because you can't morally tell people what to do with the bits once they have a copy of it ?

(1) is nonsense because creating the software has a cost, and anyway, just because something was free to you doesn't mean you can't charge others for it.

(2) is contradicted by the GPL if it tells you what you can do with the bits after you have them.

You can make the argument that free software results in higher quality software, but it's wrong to make a case for it morally as GNU does.
Well of course not. The Gaia hypothesis is dead.

Makes for good fiction though.

Even so, the person you're replying to is calling for removing end to end encryption. I'm fine if you don't want to use 2FA or end to end encryption, but can't we let people like myself have it?
I hope this inspires our generation. I hope we remember that the way things were recently aren’t they way have to be, or the way things naturally are. We need more pollution controls, clean power, and less driving. I also think we need to reduce how many people visit certain places as the harsh reality is that impact is clearly related to visits. It will mean a shared sacrifice but a healthier planet. Hopefully limits can be done in an equitable way like a lottery or apportionment somehow.
I understand your lack of motivation to fix the issue, and have been in a similar boat in some of my own personal projects.

>To be clear, I do not think everyone in this issue is from some sort of "outside." But there's at least one person in that thread who started on it immediately after publicly trashing Rust. He then continues to be abrasive on the issue.

Ah, I thought you meant "folks" to mean everyone posting on the issue / upvoting the OP. Thank you for clarifying. Assuming you're talking about who I think you're talking about, I can understand your position.

"Soars" seems like a rather hyperbolic description of the 15% rise given in the article. I'm not really that surprised. Yeah, people are out of work and social activities are curtailed. But a lot of people are also home-schooling and many of us just working like we normally would. I've shifted activities around because I'm not traveling but I'm certainly not watching YouTube all day.
The point is that if you can make typos in identifiers in (unlinted) Python then you can make typos in string literals in Go. In both cases, there is no static analysis to help you.
I don't know. I don't think they stopped testing, but their open-source javascript testing framework jest has been unmaintained for a little while.
I get your point, but don't you think it is somewhat complicated?

When you are the main dev in such a project, would you be willing to give this huge responsibility to some guy who might loose interest after a few weeks? What then?

Also, I have seen people doing graphical sketches of possible UI's and people think nice - but it is a whole different thing to actually implement this (especially with so little money involved), when the to do list involves 10 million other things.

Also, usually the problem is the designers are not coders and quite often the code base is not designed in a way, where you can just swap out the UI for a new one.

But yes, I'd love to see more collaboration of designers with a vision and coders.

Nobody really knows for sure where the economy is headed when we enter the sorta-normal-again phase.

Anything is possible. It might be another Great Depression that takes years to recover from. Or maybe once this external force (quarantine) is removed, things will mostly bounce back.

So those advertising dollars might have a good ROI or they might not. At a time when revenue is down (even if just temporarily) and some companies are laying off employees, it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend money on something that might or might not be worthwhile.
I pay for other platforms, even ones with free options (CBC), and so I am definitely open to it.

You might want to read again the numbers you just posted and change your tone to a less self assured one, because you're very obviously wrong. Theranos operated for more than ten years with hundreds of employees, so the numbers you posted confirm the gp's point.
The early 1980s were the heyday of management consultants peddling wild diversification strategies to stodgy companies. Other examples:
- Owens-Illinois (glass bottles; no growth) was told to buy nursing homes (people get older; lots of growth). It did so, only to bail out years later
- Kao (Japanese detergent maker) tried expanding into floppy discs. Didn't work out.

All these moves were based on a child-like belief that getting any aging company and its management into a growing business was more important than having the culture, talent, processes, etc. to work well in that industry. Call it a stock-picker's mentality.

This context helps explain why stock buybacks have become such a big thing now. When companies have more cash flow than they can profitably use in their core business, they no longer are as eager to diversify into fast-growth, cash-hungry businesses that need funding. BigCo managers now know their limits.

So they give the money back to shareholders instead. And investors can insta-swap into supposedly "better" industries, where fully formed management teams and business processes are ready to roll.

We can argue about whether multi-billion-dollar buybacks are a good thing for society or not. But we got here for a reason.

Well, at least by me you can order groceries from walmart to have them delivered/picked up. They have an excellent website for it, so it's very easy.

Everyone who can should be ordering groceries.. I have been ordering groceries from walmart for the last month and it's great that I don't have to go in there. One time I had to do a pickup at the store (alcohol purchase..), it was very simple as well. But while I was there, I was appalled to see a walmart sized parking lot almost full of people going into the store...
Wrong answer. This means you can't run modern cloud-native apps on BSD.

I don't disagree, but that doesn't seem related to the recent dip that correlates with COVID-19.
I too did not know this, or even that there was a separate scanning setting. I'm also not sure where this message even pops up. I don't remember ever reading any time about apps being able to use Bluetooth while turned off and enabling and disabling Bluetooth did not seem to produce the message. I can't seem to find any mention of it in the Bluetooth help menu either. This is on Android 9.

I've found the scanning menu by searching for it. This is the only place that seems to mention allowing apps to scan Bluetooth while Bluetooth is off. It seems to be defaulted to disabled though.

On a stock Fedora install of Inkscape, I can think of half a dozen particular UI actions which either lead to compounding bugs or crash the program.

I'm scared to even enter custom size attributes for objects using the X/Y text fields on the top bar because it consistently blows up the value and then brings down Inkscape.

I've ordered a selection of things from Amazon (and other vendors) over the last month and none have taken a month to deliver. I used to be able to get many things from Amazon same-day or overnight - that is rarely available now. But, 2-3 days is still common.

And the things that are listed as 3+ weeks often aren't available any faster from other sources.

I always liked the naming (e.g. NICs) and location of things in FreeBSD, felt more natural to me. It may not be a (good) technical reason, but it makes live so much easier when you know that if I install something it's in '/usr/local'. That said, not sure if it's fair to compare FreeBSD (1 distro) with Linux (many distros).
