I may be bad at the internet, but how do people get *.dev domains to load in their browser? Those always break in Firefox/Chrome for me. I was under the impression Google had bought the TLD. I've mostly been able to ignore it, but now I'd like to see this but can't.
It's a good point to raise - at the same time, I think it's generally accepted that THC is on the safer side of the "problematic drug" spectrum, while opioids are on the riskier side?

‘Stylus’, to make HN's ‘collapse thread’ button tap-able. (HN made it a bit bigger recently, though still rather pathetic for my manly grownup thumb.)
From the article:

> Fewer than one in five Black Americans feel very confident that the police in their area would treat them with courtesy and respect.

> It's not so much the volume of interactions Black Americans have with the police that troubles them or differentiates them from other racial groups, but rather the quality of those interactions.

> the vast majority believe reform is needed, with upward of 90% favoring specific reforms aimed at improving police relations with the communities they serve and preventing or punishing abusive police behavior.

Seems to me like the protesters do represent the people.
If you’re literally a domestic terrorist, yes, violence and force is one way to accomplish your political agenda. I expect better from you though.
It's a BIND zone file, and the elevation of an implementation detail to a standard is an artifact of a time --- a bad time --- where BIND was the only mainstream option for authority servers. That the file itself originates in an earlier piece of software doesn't change that. The DNS doesn't interoperate through "zone files", but through the DNS protocol itself. Modern zones don't even have "files".
I ask this question from time to time and look for different responses depending on the type of candidate. When I ask an engineer, I am looking to see if they can grasp the problem space and ask clarifying questions about what I'm looking for. When I'm interviewing for an engineering manager I am looking to see if they can grasp the problem space and ask clarifying questions about what I'm looking for. Since I tend to work on technical products, when I interview a product manager I tend to look for...

So much of the engineering mindset jumps to solutions instead of clarifying problems. I'm guilty of this constantly.
That's just reality. EVs solve a specific aspect of cars but they still have the main problem: they are unreasonably large. The future of urban mobility is also its past: walking.

A small correction. PCIE has a clock, but it's an utility reference clock only.

Of course.

Why "obviously"? If it's public, someone outside the class can call it. That's an external behavior.

Yeah that can certainly be true - unfortunately we often found that the very important users to us didn’t see us as important as we saw them, meaning we’d implement these hacky features on their request on short timescales only for them to then refuse to integrate for weeks - we could have done the feature properly had we not been pressured into getting it over the line so soon.
What's the tl;dr of this article? It's framed as a question so I assume the answer is "no" but that's not particularly useful information on its own.

Maintaining JS is a treadmill on fast: takes a lot of work to stand in place, which is horrible if you are trying to get anywhere.

We have been ripping out node bc basic backend frameworks are too small and mercurial, so breaking API changes every year on simple things like making an HTTP request has meant a lot of time not spent on our users. The ROI is often ultimately miniscule perf, and ironically, CVE fixes from such a cowboy culture. (We are also ripping out node bc current inability to work with data ecosystem well + shitshow that is build times / maintaining them.)

Frontend has been getting better. Part of that is we have largely stopped adding any dependencies and been chiseling down to react + a few components, and between them + the webpack team, focusing on the few teams we trust to respect end user code more than they value whatever feature idea that month.

I spent years on making JS better and we have built stuff to make it sing, so bittersweet business decision driven more by the unmaintainable code culture than the language (npm/node are growing up, V8 is amazing, React achieved a lot of what early framework people marched for, ... ).

EDIT 1: Part of the technical problem may be around npm <> semvar and in turn, the dev culture around it. Dutifully updating semvars upon breaking changes may have given a false sense of being friendly for maintenance. Major upgrades are still necessary in practice due to peer dependency requirements triggered by CVEs etc. It's ~awesome to now see breaking changes in better modules. However, having to do via searching github stinks, and horrifying how many there are. This is still a far cry from not consistently breaking everywhere, gofmt, etc.

EDIT 2: I don't blame OSS devs for hobby projects unrelated to their work and with no claims of aiming for prod ready / corp use. But as soon as we get to core node infra teams and their VC sponsors causing a bait-and-switch on infra focus, or tech leads at unicorns & bigco's doing their here today / gone tomorrow thing, etc., I get heart pain around adding any dependencies around this broken tech<>social ecosystem.
Armstrong and Miller have several excellent parodies of Flanders and Swann on YouTube, if you happen to like their somewhat coarse humour.

Not sure what "increasing density" you are talking about. No city has done that. SF rejected it, DC, etc. In fact, I'd bet more places have decreased density than increase it. The increases have only come in the past 5 years (Portland, Minneapolis)

There's only one guarantee - limiting density in a growing city with jobs does make housing less affordable. That has been the status quo in every major city in the USA over the past 50 years.
Nick here, one of the developers behind Feather.

When we set out to build an auth API, one of the first big challenges was just wrapping our heads around all the various acronyms and protocols. Despite the existence of standards like OAuth, OIDC, JWTs, SAML, etc., authentication is anything but standard. As hobbyist devs, we wanted the interface to be simple. RESTful. Leverage HTTP verbs. We wanted an auth API that we wouldn't have to think about and would save us time.

After a lot of consideration, we settled on creating an abstraction for /credentials. With this, we've been able to abstract away sign-in flows for email+password and passwordless auth. "Just create a credential!" As Josh Bloch once said, “Good names are the API talking back to you”. We're super glad with how credentials abstract turned out. In the future, we plan to extend it for supporting protocols like OAuth as well.

Feather has saved us a ton of time while building other projects these past couple months, and we're happy to share it with everyone today :)
I have no doubt that the US is being willy-nilly with THC legalization and ignoring the abuse potential to some extent, but do you really think that widespread THC addiction poses the same danger as widespread opioid addiction?
I'm generally a technologist however I am completely appalled at a private company getting the right to significantly impact humanity's view of the night sky, the original source of wonder.

> 3. And air travel is just plain a bigger market these days than it was in the 1970s

It remains to be seen whether post-COVID wealthy travellers will subsidise BOOM development costs as opposed to not flying or continuing with smaller private jets as at present. Although Boom is “designing Overture to be the first post-pandemic airplane", they will need a massive investment to scale from the single-seat prototype (still to fly) to an operationally profitable vehicle.
Dense satellite groups are a real game-changer in how we observe the sky from the surface of Earth.

We're at the choosing point right now, what's better for us - a good uniform global communications or the pristine sky. The sky was always the norm; but it ceases to be so.

In order to have some compensation to astronomical society - that is, the whole population of Earth, as even looking to bight sky is getting be different - it would be good for SpaceX to create a program of high-orbit astronomical observatories. Working together with Earth astronomers, the company can participate in changes to observation possibilities in a way which has some upside as well, in addition to anticipated degradation. Hubble space telescope was launched some 30 years ago; an observatory of similar class or better can be significantly more affordable today, there can be several - or many - of them and that could be a worthy trade-off to the degradation of Earth-visible sky. I'm sure astronomical society would be very interested in participating and helping with building such a group of space observatories.
Do you remember when Dotcom was pushing Russian propaganda? He (along with Assange) said he had evidence that it was Seth Rich and not the GRU that gave the emails to Wikileaks. Of course, he never released that evidence.

This is part of a counterintelligence investigation.

Why were Dotcom, Assange, Bannon, Manafort, etc carrying water for the GRU? I don’t know, but having an unrelated tax/copyright/fraud charge might get them to talk, or it might not.
The distinction is helpful from an organizational perspective.

From a manager's point of view, they need to know where the money is going. If ProjectA is the "support" for LibraryA (and the managers don't know about it), it will look like ProjectA is costing more and behind-schedule.

But if you explicitly split into ProjectA + LibraryA, the managers can see where the money is going, and better allocate funds matching the business's priorities.

Financially: the goal of LibraryA is to outlive ProjectA. There's no financial incentive for ProjectA to think long-term. (And if ProjectA is thinking long-term, then STOP THINKING LONGTERM!! A huge amount of code is short-term glue logic with bad specifications). Aligning your technical goals with your soft-managerial goals is key to survival.
Out of curiosity, what do you use Irish for? Given that (AFAIK) virtually all Irish speakers also speak English natively, what is it useful for?

> The vehicle is more efficient than the Model S Long Range Plus, which has a 100.0-kWh capacity and 402 miles of range.

It always makes me cringe when I see headlines which compare potential products to a shipping product. It shouldn't be surprising that a future product is better than a currently shipping one.

A year ago Lucid was bragging that they would have a 400 mile range. Now Telsa is shipping a car with a 400 mile range. So Lucid has to up their game.

What does this have to do with EVs?

I agree that getting rid of government mandated parking will decrease government-subsidized car storage (which is good across the board). Sure that will affect EVs, but it will also affect ICEs equally.
Determining which is which is definitely a skill developed from experience. For example, being able to see that if every time you use library part Y, you have to add algorithm X around it, algorithm X should be a part of the library not the app.
But did he also have a real life Seu Jorge who could only play Bowie? Those scenes are when it hits me hardest: all the characters are lost, somehow bound to Zisou with no outside life that they could defect to, but the environment they are trapped in is one of extreme beauty.
Maybe the college students -- but in my experience, rent in large houses is cheaper per-room than smaller apartments. My brother is a professional musician and lives with others near/at the poverty line -- they simply can't afford to live in smaller places. Maybe that will change on the supply side, but more likely, demand will rise just as fast.

Multigenerational families are not better served. If they're doing a new build, it can work. But imagine trying to purchase not one, but four houses on the same lot. That's a helluva coincidence to wait for, for them all to be vacant simultaneously.
>You buy a product where the app you use may stop working any day

This has happened to me with more products than I can count on both the Mac and PC side and with nearly every mobile device I've ever used. Tons of apps on SymbianOS and Windows Mobile that worked on one device didn't work on the next device I bought. The current environment is a vast improvement on everything that came before it.

Maybe that's why you're being so condescending. We've lived through the evolution that got us here while you, quite clearly, think that open, by default, equals better simply because it's better for you as an individual. There are many, many people that view the iPhone environment and Apple's ecosystem as the better option. They're obviously all wrong.

Yeah, I generally agree. Speculating about motives is a bad deal, per my above comment.

This is a scientifically meaningless claim. There's no real distinction between a "dialect" and a "language".
My experience as well. There is usually not enough information available to write truly useful tests at the point TDD wants you to.
Boeing has not only lost their way (i.e. 737 MAX), but was actively malicious in its use of the federal government to impose tariffs against Bombardier in a huge deal to Delta airlines.

End result is that Bombardier suffered a huge loss, had to sell IP to airbus (joint venture deal), prices to end consumer are higher, and aviation manufacturing competition is stiffed.
Tosh, as they say. Scots speak multiple languages and multiple dialects. The Scots language you incorrectly dismiss comes from a linguistic divergence in the 1500s, and has distinct regional dialects (e.g. Doric, with many Danish loan words etc.) Which is separate from Scots Gaelic....
You might want to read about how ‘Stylish’ was stealing user's browsing history. (At least I hope it's ‘was’ and not ’still is’.)

I'm very much of a similar opinion.

In response to OP's comment, my first question is "fair to whom". Is it fair that suddenly that the ecosystem we consciously paid for should suddenly be forcefully changed, permanently, because vendors see dollar signs?
Ultimately true of all businesses and all products.
I agree, it's a difficult problem. I don't have a brilliant alternative.
> who somehow can't meet the relatively low traditional income requirements ($200k/yr) but who are now assumed to be financially sophisticated enough to take on the risk of these securities

It looks like the current certifications are restricted to those of financial professionals [1] and employees of funds [2]. That doesn't strike me as nuts.

[1] holders in good standing of the Series 7, Series 65, and Series 82 licenses

> My company is generally behind the curve so now people have been bitten by the REST, JSON, Microservice bug. They don’t know why or what it really is but things have to be done that way.

This resonates with me. My first job out of college was with a big, very old insurance company. My team lead became obsessed with using microservices for some reason, even though we were only building internal web apps that would have about 1,000 users on a busy day. There would be no performance concerns whatsoever that would warrant "breaking up a monolith" to make it more scalable. But microservices were a great way for the team to feel like we were using trendy tech despite not having any idea how to really go about doing it or any particular reason for doing so.
But how can I measure that with a red/yellow/green stoplight chart based on code coverage? I’m actually supposed to trust that the developers will do the right thing?!

> Imagine if most streets became parks/plazas

Before the massive efforts of the auto industry, this is basically what they were. Streets of small European towns still feel this way and the cars feel very much like the interlopers.

So, a return to normalcy.
Oxycodone was first formulated in 1917, so it's not really "new".

There are lots of FDA-approved drugs that are highly inappropriate for most patients. One of the reasons we tolerate the professional status of physicians is because of their purported expertise in prescribing these drugs safely. If they don't know the function and habit-forming potential of opioids, one might well question that expertise. They aren't regulated in any sense by FDA, and they can't blame FDA for their ignorance.

Cities are more environmentally friendly than suburbs
That's one way of looking at it. I tend to prefer the mountaineer's ethos when thinking about goals for grinding out a new application: Getting to the top doesn't count if you can't get safely back down again.
I am well aware of my country's history.

Do you know what happened in Jedwabne? That was not an organized nation state attack on its minority, it was pent up hate in the local population that was released with an aggreement of o Nazi occupation force because people felt they can do whatever they want and decided to act on their hatred.

For hundreds of years Poland did not govern its own territory and was split between neighbors who were not interested in resolving any of the growing problems between minorities and poles.

At the time of Jedwabne Poland as nation state did not exist, the government was truly symbolic, on emigration. Before II WW there was barely 20 years of Polish government during which time there was much other problems (ever heard of Russia invading Poland after WW1?) There was in fact a lot of racism towards Jews in that time but no organized efforts or pogroms. This only came after the government was removed and replaced by Nazi occupation.

If you compare it to current US situation, if the government stopped working completely, I am sure as hell there would be civil war between white and black population. Without damper from effective government there would be no more civility that was here during Nazi occupation.

Also, regardless,

one nation state abusing power is no excuse for another doing the same.

Resolving any kind of problem with a background of hostilities must start with ceasing of at least some of them. You can't keep escalating the conflict under pretense the other side did that in the past and call yourself peace force at the same time.
Hence the need for a test cycle with a standard set of hills/wind/cold to get you a good estimate of what range to count on from adverse to optimal conditions.
TDD is most useful to me for algorithmic logic. I tend to pull a lot of that stuff out of my code, because it's not related to my domain.

TDD is a lifesaver for random one off algorithmic problems. You can either write it in 5 minutes, and spend the next 2 weeks fixing random bugs in your `includeRange` implementation, or you can spend 20 minutes to TDD the function and be done forever.
Mostly unrelated, but I second the request for no amp links.

Apparently there was a secondary cache of fireworks stored next to the ammonium nitrate. Probably placed there under the assumption that if there's already an astronomic amount of explosive material they might as well store it in one place. Which completely overlooks the fact that the fireworks made a perfect primer for the detonation as ammonium nitrate is actually somewhat difficult to set off on its own. That's why we often see large amounts of it going off somewhere making the news every few years - it's misleadingly safe to store. Similarly, diesel won't catch a spark but I'm not going to advocate storing fireworks in a storehouse of the stuff.
+1 for freezing leftover bananas. Freezing ripe bananas just before they over-ripen is the greatest life hack I ever learned. I can't believe it took me so long to stumble on it.

Slice ripe bananas into a reusable sandwich bag, pretty much in a layer (not a frozen clump) so you can break off a part of the layer, and freeze. Later semi-defrost and throw in a smoothie or protein shake. Never throw away an over-ripe banana again.
Show HN: CodeZero App Provisioners for Kubernetes
a legal system that authorizes it

They did not make billions from selling yet another opioid of which there are dozens available cheaply. They made billions by subverting the medical system largely though completely legal means. Essentially they sold yet another synthetic street drug through Doctors rather than on street corners. And this worked because they jumped through the correct hoops and advertised in the correct manner.
This was posted by another HN reader to the other thread, but I feel it's more relevant on this more sensationalist article.

>Honestly, I don't mind if you revert all of my edits, delete my articles, and ban me from the wiki for good. I've already found out that my "contributions" have angered countless people, and to me that's all the devastation I can be given, after years of my thinking I was doing good (and yes, obsessively editing). I was only a 12-year-old kid when I started, and sometimes when you start something young, you can't see that the habit you've developed is unhealthy and unhelpful as you get older. I don't care about defending myself, I only want to stop being harassed on my social medias (and to stop my other friends who have nothing to do with the wiki from being harassed as well). Whether peace can be achieved by scowiki being kept like it is or extensively reformed to wipe my influence from it makes no difference to me now that I know that I've done no good anyway.

I can imagine it's quite a punch to the gut to find out an activity you were doing for _years_ was literally the wrong thing, and major news outlets are piling on.
