> Competitors can't deliver that same standard because of economies of scale.

The invasion of policy-driven jerks seems like a good counterargument; it's an anti-economy of scale, since smaller websites have less of the problem.

edit: Arguing about scale also kind of ignores that there's a good space between the scope of the website being "everything" and having a website dedicated to the IDW "Sniffles the Mouse" comics. IMDB is well-respected, TVTropes has been successful with a very different culture from IMDB, the Arch Linux Wiki has a reputation for being useful even if you aren't technically using Arch, and, as we've already proven, Wikia has pretty much made a business out of this.
if anything I can see them move more of their operations there and downsizing in SF where talent is still relatively expensive.
One trick that worked for me was to look for fresh yeast. Everyone thinks of the packets of dry yeast, but forget that in the refrigerated section there will be some fresh yeast. I was able to find that long after all the dry packets were gone.

Also, try making sourdough. Have to make the starter first, but after that you're set.

Or get yeast from other sources, like dried fruit and such. Yeast is everywhere!
We'd be happy to address specific problems on the mailing list. I believe it's a known issue that the Rust compiler is making really heavy use of rapid allocation/freeing cycles, and would benefit from linking a performance-oriented malloc replacement. Doing so is inherently a tradeoff between many factors including performance, memory overhead, safety against erroneous usage by programs, etc.

One statement in your post, which some readers pointed out was apparently added later, "Others have suggested that the performance problems in musl go deeper than that and that there are fundamental issues with threading in musl, potentially making it unsuitable for my use case," seems wrong unless they just meant that the malloc implementation is not thread-caching/thread-local-arena-based. The threads implementation in musl is the only one I'm aware of that doesn't still have significant bugs in some of the synchronization primitives or in cancellation. It's missing a few optional and somewhat obscure features like priority-ceiling mutexes, and Linux doesn't even admit a fully correct implementation in some regards like interaction of thread priorities with some synchronization primitives, but all the basic functionality is there and was written with extreme attention to correctness, and musl aims to be a very good choice in situations where this matters.
thank you for the good giggle! The first one activated my 'oh he's joking'-mode, but still, the second one caught me good!
Javascript is still trash. What with the insane amount of configuration and build tools, extremely small standard library forcing you to use third party modules which may or may not have tens of security issues and the dependency hell it brings with it. I can go on and on.
Actual title: Pandemics Change Cities:
Municipal Spending and Voter Extremism
in Germany, 1918-1933

Specifically, the paper states:

> In this section, we show that the 1932 and 1933 vote share won by extremists was related to influenza
mortality of a decade earlier. This mortality was positively associated with right-wing extremist vote
shares, such as the national socialists, and negatively (though insignificantly) with the share won by
left-leaning extremists.

So, the 1918 pandemic did not lead to just extremism; it led to right wing extremism. (I'd suggest changing the title to reflect this, if possible.) This is a danger that we are facing right now in the US.
While he didn't achieve the goal to buy the lambo, the kid still get to ride in a lambo the following day. Amazing and its not too crazy to think that some rich guy somewhere decided to gift this kid a lambo after reading the story.
It's a small car by US standards, and the kid is wearing a sweatshirt that's incredibly baggy, along with shorts that are oversized-enough to be swim trunks. The seat is also reclined. There's a lot of optical-illusion going into the presentation there. It's actually pretty clever.
Looks like an interns summer project, of course figuring out what is real malware and what is designed to look like malware can be very tricky almost magical, when secret court orders can be slapped on tech manufacturers.
Anyway, why have a shutdown facility unless they also have a remote wake up (WOL) embeded in a switch or some other network device? Editing files, maybe messing up some program code by inserting backdoors could be useful, lets face it, who checks the program code they have written from ten years ago or the libraries they import and use? The UDP also suggests the network is compromised so it seems like Nazar is just part of a bigger suite of exploits. I've always been amazed that when I attempt to lockdown my systems so I can account for every packet of data going in or out, I still get hacked, beit bios pwd changed, hd pwd set, its clear there is an element of hardware hacking taking place, and its not like anyone ever really checks their firmware is genuine do they? You dont even get a hash signature from a manufacturer for the jellybeans running the firmware that doesnt change, so I'm amazed anyone really trusts their smart phones, laptops, tv's, switches, printers, cctv, alarm systems etc etc. Coupled with wifi gesture control, some people can even see you scratching your head, picking your nose and then scratching your arse. But hey carry on, modern religions are a wonderful thing but sometimes the old ways are best.

One reason might be that there is an influx of new user as well as different set of regulars because of the pandemic?
This site values driven young people taking risks and chasing goals that seem very far away but maybe achieving them one day. This kid has the same spirit as many startup founders have, and similarly has skills that others in his age group lack. Oh and he's after a lambo. It's a good symbol for the wealth that the young startup founders seek as well.
No thanks, would you still feel that way if the kid got into a wreck and killed himself or someone else on the highway? Do admire the hacker spirit of a small child that gets a hold of a firearm and accidentally kills someone with it?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that this story didn’t end up with someone dead. But 5 is way too young to be doing stuff like this.
GTA, perhaps?
That's also not necessarily true either. Even accounting for infant mortality, people died much younger than we do today.

Sure, people did occasionally live to old ages, but only the ones who lived easier lives.
Yup. They said it was homemade when asked. A few people on that twitter thread asked for it to be open sourced, but so far no response...
Are you saying there is no place for art and passion in automotive design?

Do you judge art or music that doesn't interest you personally (or which you cannot afford) so harshly?

Lamborghini cars may be impractical based on many people's measures, and their designs may not be to everyone's liking, but your critique is internet-conflict-style hyperbole.
Thanks for the Linkerd shoutout! Many our Linkerd adopters these days in fact seem to be Istio refugees, looking for something simpler and lighter. Happy to have them :)
Illegal immigrants do not have lawful ways to find a job. They will either get abused in one way or another, or they will start looking at illegal activities to survive (ie, drug dealing).

Encouraging illegal immigration - like you are suggesting by enabling them to come to San Francisco - not only is dangerous for the community but it is first and foremost dangerous for those people who come here thinking it's paradise on earth and end up being taken advantage of.

You are irresponsible. There are reasons why there are lawful ways to immigrate, it is not a game.
since we're now getting these kinds of posts on HN, I might as well post that I'm glad he didn't get tazed, shot, mauled by a k9 dog, or killed.

The main thing I think you hit with Lambda is if you’re heavily calling other services. The API contract is definitely defined in a manageable fashion.
Huh, interesting. I wonder if they could have just made the line thicker then.
Like matz said, this is simply not "bad", it's still way way better than what is normal around the world. Things can and should improve, but calling this bad seems disingenious.
I'm so grateful this happened over the weekend, when I had time to respond. My girlfriend woke me up and told me the CPU-fan was going crazy in the living room. I realize this isn't the case for everyone. I extend my deepest consolations to those affected.
In a lot of role-playing games, people sometimes end up using low-level gear that can’t keep up because there are perks on that gear that they don’t want to lose. Sometimes it’s necessary to set aside perks and see if it’s better with more advanced gear without the perks is worth it, but there’s an emotional attachment to them that alters the evaluation of value.

It’s interesting to see a relative to that sentiment show up about browser addons. Thank you for sharing!

This is where C++ is headed anyway. There's just a little bit more work that's needed in c++23, but it's planned, and that will make it possible to use a lot more of the STL in consteval/constexpr contexts.

I think this is a killer feature. Between execution policies and constexpr-all-the-things, I really think C++ is set to pull away in a way that other languages will have difficulty competing with.

It claims a link between sunlight exposure and lower death rates (which I can buy), and claims vitamin D is "just a marker [of exposure]".

It also discusses studies that show vitamin D supplements don't change life expectancy.

But it jumps from this to "don't use sunscreen" which is a dangerous jump, completely unsupported by anything discussed in the article.

They have a correlation between low levels of sunlight exposure and higher death rate. They know it isn't shortage of vitamin D that causes that. But they don't know if sunscreen stops whatever it is that reduced the death rate.

As a random hypothesis: we know sunlight reduces depression[1], and that depressed people have lower life expectancy. The mechanism there is serotonin production, which isn't blocked by sunscreen.

I'm not claiming that's the answer - I'm just pointing out that there are many alternative explanations and the evidence for the dangerous advice he is giving ("don't use sunscreen") is missing.

This is all good and useful, but I wish OAuth folks would fix the bugs in the spec like, e.g.

"The authorization server MAY issue a new refresh token, in which case
the client MUST discard the old refresh token and replace it with the
new refresh token. The authorization server MAY revoke the old
refresh token after issuing a new refresh token to the client."

This sounds reasonable on the surface, and technically it might be correct (depending on your interpretation of the words). But if someone naively follows this instruction to implement the server - issue a new refresh token and revoke the old one in the same refresh request at the server, what happens is when the client doesn't receive the new refresh token due to any transient failure, the client effectively loses its authorization, since the old refresh token is revoked and they didn't get the new one. Thus the protocol becomes "leaky" - you lose users because of transient errors.

i.e. "after issuing a new refresh token to the client" needs to be "after the new refresh token is being used at least once", or otherwise invent some other way to ensure the new refresh token is correctly received at the client before revoking the old.

Eternal March.
On April 23, 2020, we identified SSH usernames and passwords had been compromised through an altered SSH file in our hosting environment. This affected approximately 28,000 customers. We immediately reset these usernames and passwords, removed the offending SSH file from our platform, and have no indication the threat actor used our customers’ credentials or modified any customer hosting accounts. To be clear, the threat actor did not have access to customers’ main GoDaddy accounts.

Anybody have any insight into what this "SSH file" is?
Probable because of licensing reasons. Nintendo may have a license to distribute a game, but it’s probably limited to the console it was designed for.
Sweden and Germany, for example, are heavily regulated but have more innovation in terms of GDP% than the USA.

If you're talking about why we don't see more visible commercial innovation from European countries then it's more about access to the enormous amounts of capital to build a big name startup like Uber etc.

Nobody notices the legions of small bootstrapped or seed to profitable software businesses across the EU.
> You misunderstand my point, which is that only “genuine attempts” matter in this particular case.

I'm sorry but you don't get to decide what matters.

Users will decide that for you. And the truth is nobody gives a fuck about sourcehut or whatever other project enough to honor it with a "genuine attempt".

Nobody is going to slow down to wade through the unreadable, mess of information splattered on the page just because it's there and available.

So if that's the assumption you're building with, you'll be hosed.

It's important to design for how people actually use things, and how people actually behave, and the information customers are actually looking for.
Tim Bray quits Amazon over mistreatment of workers
Agreed. I think content plays a much more significant role than aesthetics in what makes a site "great". I mean, look at the site we're on now. HN's aesthetics are clearly outdated and "unsleek" by all modern comparisons. But the site facilitates bringing the relevant content to its users well, like Stripe's website. That's the differentiating thing Stripe does well -- its visual design is not the difference maker.

It seems like you replied to the wrong comment.
If it's specified in their employment contract, they absolutely do. A severance package is really at the root of it just something laid out in an employment contract that says that absent cause, an employer needs to compensate the employee for terminating the contract. Clauses like that are super common in all kinds of contracts.

The main difference, of course, is that in countries that require this sort of thing, it's required - but requiring certain implicit terms in employment contracts is a regular thing in the U.S. as well - there's all kinds of regulations and case law on what sorts of employment contracts are valid. Saying that something like severance is a necessary requirement is a difference of degree, not of kind.
I understand the policy and I don't think it is an entirely unreasonable way to combat wealth inequality. The only point I was trying to make is that it feels disingenuous to be surprised a company has a say in the severance they pay.

I do think there are a few places where this policy breaks down. For example, the additional transaction cost makes hiring decisions "stickier." I think this hurts the employee as well as the employer.

I don't quite understand the power imbalance here. My employer requires my labor and I am willing to trade my labor for money. If I'm not happy with the arrangement I'm free to find someone else to trade with.
Hahahahaha thank you, this made my day
That's the way to go, but still even many other jobs in the USA itself are way worse, so calling this "bad" seems weird.

Honest question: why would anyone pay for this? Several dollars a month for a QR Code? Is this a few bucks a month for one code or for access to the API to make unlimited?

I'm sure that Apple is conducting a social experiment to see how much money people are willing to pay for their products.
Administrators above them though are beginning to see their desire to travel isn’t actual justified in greater business value, so their mere preference or their assertion is less likely to be believed.
I never understand this comment. If it made it to the front page of HackerNews, then yes, this is the place for it. There is no "should" or "shouldn't". Upvotes and downvotes already solved that problem.
Ugh, I have to deal with someone who is bad at this. He regularly sends out emails that include all the devs pointing out that someone broke the build (worth pointing out if they didn't already see the automated email - not worth humiliating them in front of the whole team), and then also tries to show the fix that will be needed.

On the one hand, when he's right (which is often) it can save some work, but on the other hand, he's not always right, and he always sounds like an ass.

I've repeatedly asked management to have a word with him about it, but they haven't because he's a valued team member and they don't want to rock the boat. I ended up blowing up at him over email about it and he's definitely been less of a dick to me about these things, but he continues to be a dick to everyone else about it because it makes him look smarter. It's pretty irritating and I never want to have to work with him again because of it.
All of that == add four lines of code?

Here is the sum total of how much “work” you have to do.

const awsServerlessExpress = require('aws-serverless-express')
const app =require('./app')
const server = awsServerlessExpress.createServer(app)

exports.handler = (event, context) => { awsServerlessExpress.proxy(server, event, context) }

How much time do you spend babysitting infrastructure and how much money is it making your company or saving your company? How many of your customers care about your valiant efforts at “avoiding lock in”?
Never realized this... yay for Javascript-like screwy type coercion. Now I have some more ammo to rib the pythonistas in my life. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, I've heard many good things about Snowflake. In the past I've seen them as more of a Redshift competitor (data warehouse, as opposed to a data lake) but if they can simplify data ingest then I am definitely interested.
Yea one of the ideas we're dabbling with is simply interviewing members of our team on various topics, and posting the interview transcript (our team is fairly camera shy)
There was an HN story way back when that admired pickpocketing, and I was similarly unimpressed:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6065434
> If you have to sell your labor to pay your bills, you're a worker - even if you sell it for a lot of money.

There are useful distinctions even between this though. What Piketty refers to as the "patrimonial middle class" has significant assets during and at the end of their life, but still needs to sell their labor to pay their bills. This distinction aligns more closely with the traditional lower/upper/middle arrangement (they'd be upper-middle class). This article[1] (unfortunately paywalled if you don't have an Economist subscription) covers it pretty well, but it's pretty well-trod ground at this point: there's a substantial chunk of the population that isn't rentier/leisure class, but often aligns with them politically, and your proposal's elision of this group means it's missing an important dynamic in class politics.
