"With tiktok and the chinese government's explicit approach of combining public & commercial interest..."

You got to be kidding me for blaming the Chinese government for combining public and commercial interest in this context. The amount of hypocrisy is astonishing. The banning of Tiktok, Zoom and Huawei is nothing but a political decision. It's amusing to see someone can blame this on China.
Almost everything I’ve ever worked on has been under ddos attack. I actually met the founders of Cloudflare just after they got started because they saved my bacon.

Later pursuits used different providers where we could use BGP to shift our network around.
Out of the choices that you listed, python is the best long term bet imo, especially for its overall practical use outside of SaaS products.
Thanks, I'm currently reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. This looks like a good complement to it.
And Bennett lost his position because of it.
I said essentialy. There's certainly companies providing cleaning services, but you may find thats it's essentially impossible to find locals who will clean and cook for you every night. The alternative is then an au pair, but they're allowed to do only limited housework and some people have even gone to jail for having multiple au pairs working as maids, tough technically mostly for breaking immigration laws for having more than one au pair.
Yes! MailerLite is going to be available within the next 3-4 weeks! Will keep you posted :)
Identity platform Auth0 raises $120M Series F funding round at $1.92B valuation
I really hate this title, because it subtly implies some semi-balanced distribution of hyper-left and hyper-right sites, when the article says "Bengani identified five organizations operating these networks, all with conservative political ties."

Why not just say "Hundreds of hyper-conservative sites masquerading as local news?"
Kahan is a numerical analyst, and probably had extensive experience with worrying about known numerical analysis pitfalls, such as the tablemaker's dilemma, which means you don't necessarily know a priori how much precision you need on the input or intermediate computations to get the desired output precision.

As it turns out, though, most people don't need more than 3 or 4 decimal digits of precision, so while a float may easily accumulate enough error to corrupt that last needed digit, a double tends to be more than roomy enough for almost everybody.
That is an operation that I have never considered. Cool! Thank you for sharing.
Unraveling the Mindset of Victimhood
There is a weird personality cult around somebody who is basically the Trump of tech.
I've done it, it's not that hard. There's plenty of books about how to do it. I'm not interested in arguing with internet idiots though, sorry.
Please don't. I realize the topic is inflammatory but this sort of generic ideological rant is particularly off topic on HN.

Because it doesn't, it lets you look at what other IPs have been doing.

(certainly not "spy", this is literally public information that anyone connecting to torrents over DHT gets to see. And if you didn't realise torrent connection was public information, then this should be a moment of learning)

It doesn't become creepy until you can identify individuals, or groups of individuals, based on your knowledge of which IPs they use, so as much as you probably don't want to hear this: if you look up not-your-own-IP, you're engaging in creeping. Not the service.
"This is systems. You are to be trying to be clever. Please stop." is a damn good rule of thumb and I think lots of people tend to go all-in on k8s without considering whether their use of the features will actually justify the level of additional clever so introduced.

To me, that being the 'actual reasons' was implicit from the rant - I don't disagree that it was a rant rather than an argument.
These tutorials are about how to set up a still a light painting using a DSLR or mirrorless camera in a long exposure mode. TikTok is just being used to record the movement of the light during the long exposure, not to explain the settings (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc) of the still camera that takes the final shot.
It's sad that journalists think so highly of themselves.
Recurring payments to the greatest extent possible. Things like rent and utilities. It makes dealing with these things much less stressful.

What about all of the popular hyper-partisan news organizations masquerading as unbiased news? Such as Fox, MSNBC, pretty much everything that is popular.
"and they will only drive Teslas on mars"

Are you sure that's part of the hype? I've never heard that one. People definitely have positive associations because of SpaceX, but associations don't need a weird justification like that.
I agree, and I am not trying to say West and China are the same - the point I am struggling to make is that we might not have it as good as we think and there are many things hidden from us. How many time we see old documents released where US or other government was doing crazy shit - I mean is insanity to think that for some reason they stopped doing same level of insane stuff.

I seen a video a few months back about US military considering internet as a new area of war and considering how to engage in such war , it is clear that not only China is trying to push their propaganda but the others are doing a similar thing (again I am not trying to say is the exact same thing just trying to prevent everyone focusing too muc in one direction and not noticing what is happening behind their backs at home)
“Especially at the New York Times” ???
Seriously? How about Fox News. NYT May have some issues but they are still 1000X more accurate and honest than conservative media like Fox News. Media like Fox News is destroying America. That’s the real danger.
Bari Weiss is a problematic character in this area.

She has played gatekeeper herself quite stridently and successfully.

She is quite fine with her own "involvement in numerous campaigns to vilify and ruin the careers of several Arab and Muslim professors due to their criticisms of Israel" per Glenn Greenwald in the Intercept:

One way is to show something you already know how to do. The other is "Twitch plays programming" where you involve the audience.
Yes, exactly. Quite a few possibilities are being tested, as in they exist (maybe). It is quite literally being blocked by regulatory approval, with the testing for validity and safety being the approval process.
> The cost of those are frequently in the 6-7 figures each depending on the year.

A NYC penthouse apartment may have similarly high maintenance fees, and cost as much as the 737. https://www.galeriemagazine.com/9-most-expensive-penthouses-...
I agree these things can be useful, but again none of these come out of the box (if I haven't overlooked or misunderstood something). Including "doing the naive thing"; I mean how do you expect your web server to automatically push CSS or SVG sprites/fonts unless you're relying on the server to intercept/parse your HTML for delivery-time optimizations a la PageSpeed and make heuristic scheduling decisions? Unless you're putting in the effort to optimize your payloads you will just result in as many roundtrips with HTTP/1.1 + keep-alive.
Sure, but if they're predictive then by definition they're locally valid.
> The implementation of "right to be forgotten" is problematic. It forces service providers to take down content on the request of a complainant, without going through judicial approval. It's up to the service provider to render a decision, and if they wrongly refuse the request, they could be subject to a fine.

That is not how it works. I'm guessing that some information is missing in this article. How it works is that you make a request to the service provider, if they refuse your request you can appeal to your Data Protection Agency. Only if the service provider fails to comply with DPA decision can it face legal action.
Those deadzones are horrible. Also, the calibration routine is absolutely broken.

For example, when userspace requests a certain TX gain, the chip does some calibration black box magic to determine the best way to distribute that gain across the internal amplifies. Nothing special here, the AD9361 does the same thing. The Lime chip will inexplicably fail the calibration but __will continue to operate__. If the PLL didn't lock, the chip sees something dumb like the loopback being down at -45dBFS so it cranks the gain on all of its internal amplifiers to __correct__ the loss. This results in one or more of the internal amplifiers saturating and you end up with horrible intermod. I was seeing -10dBC ACPR on a simple 1MHz QPSK signal. Sure, you can save off good calibrations or do it by hand, but if the simple loopback cal doesn't work and won't tell the user, the chip is irremediably broken.
That thing you saw on tv that came on during the show you like? Simply a short, informative documentary my company has produced. No advertising here, no sir!
In the defense of the man, he said himself that the stock was overpriced so I think blaming him for Tesla's market cap beating Toyota's is a bit much.
Maybe by not calling it out, it will convince more conservatives to read it before dismissing it.
I mean this is absolutely true in the sense that 99.9% of the hours that humans used to spend doing things across history have already been automated away.

The amount of time we used to spend making a single yard of cloth, or creating 10 pounds of flour is almost unfathomable today.

The prevailing economic theory was that we would automate away so much work that leisure time would prevail. Instead our massive increases in output have just driven greater consumption.

But the difference made by housecleaning robots isn’t the straw the breaks the camels back.

It would take a massive breakthrough in AI to eliminate the majority of knowledge workers at the scale that agriculture and textiles have already been transformed.
"The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by its very nature wants to fly and, if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other and, if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance, the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter."*

"This is why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot, and why in generality, airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant extroverts, and helicopter pilots are brooding introspective anticipators of trouble. They know if something bad has not happened it is about to."

* Helicopters do autorotate which is a glide, sort of, at least with sufficient translational lift and rotor speed.
In Texas, a salon owner basically broke the Governors business shut down order, then became a conservative celebrity, and ended up having the whole thing removed resulting in accelerated re-opening of the state. A lump of the blame for the current spike of COVID cases in the state finds its root in that salon owner's stunt.

Why and How You Should Integrate UX in Product Development

The absence of a better news source doesn't mean we should be blind to its faults.
It's a shot across the bow at the Kool-Aid which everyone here has imbibed to some extent. Of course they're going to shoot the messenger. When I clicked this thread I said out loud to my team, "oh, this should be good," and I hadn't even fathomed precisely how predictable the discussion would be. It's so far removed from any consideration that it lands something like explaining to an American that they're a subject of the Queen. It makes no sense to objectively review the thinking when you're inside, and buy, the thinking.

Bear in mind the livelihood of nearly everyone participating in this conversation is impacted by the situation being lamented. It's telling that CoreOS employees felt compelled to set the record straight and casually "float ideas".

It's further curious to note the difference in HN's reaction to an extremely salty and offensive post from, say, Linus Torvalds, versus this one. People are really bad at objectively setting aside their ideology and tone is a kind excuse to get out of having to genuinely think about whether the angry individual might have a point, and when it hits close to home, well. All bets are off.

You're 100% correct on your overarching point but the less kind interpretation is "the incentives of modern software engineering value complexity to artificially strengthen a software engineering job economy". The good news is that the more Big Tech screws the pooch with user data management and software engineering, the stronger an argument I have among very receptive ears in government circles to start thinking of Big Web/FAANG as hostile to responsible computing innovation, because they never really bought what Mikey sold them, and the troupe that followed Mikey to Washington didn't hang around to explain the downsides or long-term management needs of the current landscape.
Having "good credit" would imply doing something like having paid off six figures in student loans or the mortgage on a house, which requires paying many thousands of dollars in interest, so that credit history would have a high market value and defaulting on a loan taken against it would destroy that value. So that system would work fine -- it might cost the bank money to go through the inconvenience of foreclosing on a house, but it would cost you just as much for the good credit you destroyed in doing it, so it's symmetric and people would have an adequate disincentive to do that.

In this case, the company wanted to develop their own apps and distribute them internally through tools like App Center and InTune, rather than using the public app store. AFAIK, to do that you need an in-house distribution certificate, and AFAIK you can only get that through the Apple Enterprise Developer program.

It's interesting that we are beginning to realize the paradoxical nature of "free speech". It's unfortunate that free speech cannibalizes itself. Since there are other powers with significant influence who can enforce their speech protectionism, it necessitates a response of the same kind, or risks collapsing free speech entirely in favor of an opponent. It's a power struggle, plain and simple.
The author doesn't detail _what_ is more complicated about the gRPC API, other than the fact that it's gRPC. One could implement the exact same API in HTTP or with gRPC; so without specific examples, it's kind of a meaningless critique.

Surely, most consumers of a database like etcd are using a client library, in which case why does it matter if the API is HTTP or gRPC?

Tangential: after reading some of the comments, I was surprised that the blog post was only like 250 words; the author really says very little.
> Almost no full stack developers are expected to work with assembly (unless explicitly stated) so that seems more than a little hyperbolic.

In the embedded world, a full stack developer would be someone who can read electrical schematics, write drivers, write libraries, and by the time you've done all of that the UI part is, comparatively, trivial.

Been there, done it, would 100% recommend it. You feel much closer to your code than when 10 abstraction layers are in the way.
And the alternative sounds suspiciously like "extract resources from poor communities to feed my rich kid new lacrosse sticks."

Again, if going to a public school is so bad as to be considered "holding a child hostage," the issue isn't the making-rich-kids-go-to-public-schools, it's the public schools.

TIL GitHub pulls out Co-authored-by: lines
Musk isn't an idiot, he's overseen some great things at the companies he runs, and I hope the companies he's running continue pushing technology forward.

But Musk as a human isn't so great. He'd do better to keep his mouth shut sometimes, and lay off Twitter every now and again. Between falsely accusing people of being pedophiles, claiming to take Tesla private in a tweet, and various other "incidents", he's kind of an idiot when it comes to PR.
> As the map indicates, there are considerably more conservative-leaning sites than liberal-leaning sites. Only 24 of the 445 sites we’ve identified so far are liberal-leaning.

Withholding that wouldn't be accurate.
I don't disagree, but I think it's fair to say that the risk of some random DNS-related dispute causing a problem where your registrar cuts you off is much lower than the risk of some random SAAS you depend on pulling a fast one.

The culture and economics behind a lot of tech SAASes that we talk about here all the time make them inherently vulnerable to discarding or abusing users, even those who have been with them a long time and maybe paid them quite a lot of money, in the name of the almighty growth curve. The incentives there are not necessarily aligned with supporting even long-standing and loyal users.

In contrast, there is little to gain for a DNS provider to screw a paying customer or get embroiled in some tedious arguments about rights to some domain name. They can't entirely avoid that because of the environment they operate in, but they are generally going to make the most money when they have lots of happy customers who can briefly engage with the provider's almost entirely automated systems and pay some registration fees for the privilege through another almost entirely automated system and then everyone can get on with their day happy with the trade.
Yeah, but the "autopilot" claim will spawn a large numbers of fanboys with dictionaries and definition trying to defend Tesla's marketing department , the terms you mentioned will mostly get the mention of some text message you have to click OK on when you start using the car.
I personally think the stock market is bonkers about Tesla. It's a local effect over the possibility of entering the S&P, maybe some short squeeze and possibly expectations about new tech on battery day. Having said that, I think the relative valuation can be supported without any of those outlandish claims.

Tesla produces about 300k vehicles a year. Toyota produces 30x that. However, the demand over Teslas meant they almost did not feel any demand impact because of Covid, while Toyota saw a 30% demand drop. There is a huge room for growth on EVs, and EV today means Tesla.

If Tesla has a 5 year lead, and if Toyota continues to fumble the technology transition, an actual revenue overtake in 10 years is imaginable. Hugely optimistic, but within the realm of possibility, with no need for Mars dreams.
This is a good point, although I suspect most people don't really want to see the toxicity. People are always complaining that they can't make certain things go away on Facebook even though they're constantly telling it "I don't want this". The one time I can remember where someone got "cancelled" on Tiktok, most of the criticism was carried out on other platforms like Twitter and Youtube ("Nurse Holly" if you're curious). I'd try to see how well Tiktok's recommendations can identify "toxic sectarian flame wars", but I don't want to clutter up my feed (which is 90% not in English anyway).

He is obviously a genius, like Steve Jobs, and Donald Trump, and just about every billionaire are. You don't become as successful as that without being both very lucky and very smart.

I’d love to do a live stream of my coding work with me explaining my process. Even if few/no people watched live, they might make for useful tutorials or at the very least a sort of video journal.
