You don't threaten to invade a nuclear power unless you mean it. We wouldn't mean it. Instead, we have begun decoupling.
Why do you seem to be finding fault here, its a write up of a legal case by a civilian.

Pretty normal for non specialist press when writing up a court case note the author is an Indian and may well be using Indian style English, which does diverge from standard English.
There's some good stuff in here, but they're also using a very expansive definition of "tracker" that in some cases I think is just unfair.

For example Adobe TypeKit serves fonts. It's not ad tech at all. The only thing it tracks is how many times a font was served. Adobe does also have ad tracking technology but TypeKit isn't part of it.

Likewise the tool's author seems to misunderstand AWS CloudFront, which is a CDN and does not itself do any tracking nor is it connected to any Amazon ad tech.
This sort of caste discrimination apparently even goes beyond tech. I’m quite ignorant of historical world ethnic/cultural issues I’ll admit. And despite me having some understanding of the general history of castes in India, to see this issue still present in the US after Indians immigrate is sad.

Eh, we took over half of Mexico in the 19th century and made the Philippines and Puerto Rico pseudo-colonies a decade or so before WWI. I would say we didn't want to get into continental European wars, perhaps due to capital/business interests vs. being isolationist.
Ye, but how could one possibly do that?

Hi there,

You're correct to make a note as to why one of your last jobs lasted a few months. However, it might be better to say "Unfortunately this company went out of business". That's all someone screening your resume needs to know for now.

When you mention "mismanaged" it could be misconstrued that you're kissing and telling, and companies interested in reputation-management may pass you by.

The tech breakdown of each role is good, but maybe in delivering the features you talked about you ended up working with a Product/Design/QA department? Worth calling out if so, shows you can work productively with others.

Personally I'd skip the video intro, but that's a personal preference.
I understand, wrong thought undermines conformism. Though I don't find idea sharing to be a problem, I just speak from myself, I don't get knowledge from one source and a manager won't read a wall of technical text anyway.
Vscode is used by by many Rust and Go developers. I would wager to say it’s the most popular IDE for those languages.
A lot of everyday users likely benefit from being able to fill out PDFs in the browser.
Russian hackers APT28 use fake NATO training docs to breach government networks
Funny how you arrived at “forcibly” while there’s not a single proof this program is forced on anyone.
Work from home hasn’t inhibited communication between my closest teammates. It has disrupted the interactions I used to have with people outside my direct projects where we shared ideas and kept abreast of what’s cool and going on inside the company. And I feel less comfortable talking to managers of other teams or my managers manager. And if there’s ever any kind of disagreements, it’s really hard to smooth over when not in person. There’s a lot of ego in engineering. You’re dealing with someone’s creation.
I find it extremely convenient. Also I know a lot of security issues in PDF viewers are effectively solved by running it in the browser's JS sandbox.
Why are you being downvoted? This is a completely rational take.
Most of Google's offerings that get killed are free and HN jumps all over that (rightfully, IMO).
I'm using uBlock and uMatrix so I'm not surprised. However I've been blocking such with whatever was at hand since javascript started out... In the start it was easy, just don't load javascript. Now it's even easier, just install uBlock and uMatrix and watch the whole modern web break together... :-)
> houses on both sides of mine are able to sign up for g.fast but I'm not

That sounds odd and may be an error in OR's data. I would try to escalate it up to the point where it is investigated...

It is far from unheard of for one side of a street to have different options, or even one part of one side of the street, because for some reason of geography or cab capacity when the houses were first connected they are connected to different cabinets and not all of them have been upgraded to enable g.fast. But such things shouldn't be localised to one home unless you are in a mansion with massive grounds (in which case stop messing with the consumer arm of BT-OR, you can afford to have your own private leased line installed via the business arm!).

Be careful switching to g.fast if upstream throughput is important to you. I know people who had the top-end upstream offered by FTTC (~17Mbit/s) but got less after switching to g.fast (though better downstream, and for them like most that was the important factor so they were happy).
Right, but we're not talking about banks. We're talking about a startup company enacting enforcement with untrained workers against the will of a person having the law enforced on them.

We've watched other companies in the startup space with lives on the line cut corners---What are the odds that this is going to go well?
Not sure I understand the intent. The Google page had an obvious implied message: don't use google products, they will abandon them even if they are wildly popular, and not even open source the project so someone else can keep it alive. None of these were ever very popular in the first place, and most of them (if not all?) were open source even from the very beginning.

Change is not made for the thrill, but because changing hardware, hosting, software requirements and changes in the wider software ecosystem demand it. Most of what Java broke and is about to break is the ability of libraries to too-strongly depend on implementation details -- what you admit you know is bad but do anyway; if every implementation detail is exposed and relied on, then the necessary changes cannot be made in a backward compatible way. In other words, Java is breaking the ability of libraries to break its backward compatibility. I'm sure this will require some adjustment, but is overall a better plan for backward compatibility in the long term than reducing investment in the platform and not coping with necessary change.

Wow. Now that's what you can call the next generation of storage.

It's really amazing that there's no Intel desktop that can run PCI Gen4 at the moment.

Will be interesting to see how stock will be. Especially if this is also one of the few SSDs certified to run in a PS5. Which has an M.2 slot.
That's pretty sad. Last year I was trying to get in a bit better shape. I was regularly doing over 100 push ups in an evening, some kettle bell workouts, kayaking at least once a week and cycling once or twice a week up to 100 miles in a ride.

I was easily one of the less fit members of my peer group. Almost everyone I know goes running often, some doing ultras (I can't run due to knee problems). One of the least fit of my uni friends now does at least one full ironman(woman) a year.

I find there is a real fitness culture around me, probably due to fear of aging. Along with diet/meditation it's the only positive way to safeguard your future aside from reproducing.

From people I know in Europe or North America I'm also getting the same vibe. I wonder what's so different with the people you're aware of? I'm guessing either too much work or it just doesn't seem like a priority or even worse, they think it's too late!
Ask HN: Is it worth it to go back into the office?
I work for a large firm that is pressuring us to come back into the office. While it isn't mandatory, the pressure is still there. I'm debating whether or not to go back. I don't want to lose out on opportunities or be seen as "not a team player," but I also feel like I would be putting my health at risk. I was wondering if anyone has found themselves in a similar situation and what your conclusion was.
I'm seeing a lot of flagged comments and repeated commenters seeming to exaggerate viewpoints and stir up discord in this thread. I'm not always on the 'china bad' train but it seems like their social engineering efforts have reached HN.

Readers, please double-check your sources and form your own opinions beyond repeating what you read in an HN thread.
> What's China going to do?

Nuke everybody. The CCP would have nothing to lose.
Their nomadic lifestyle is probably a lot less stressful than wage labor in a city. That's why they don't want to, and the oppression is forcing them to.
Is there something hard about fillable forms on PDF? Why have a PDF viewer at all if it couldn't fill out a form?
You can do it with a single filehandle, reading the data then seek()ing backwards before you do the writes.
A Perl example that reads a file with the numbers 1 to 100 then replaces the digits with X's:

#!/usr/bin/perl
open(my $fh,">foo") or die($!);
for (1..100) {print $fh "$_\n"};
close($fh);
open($fh,'+<','foo') or die($!);
while(<$fh>) {
my $spot=tell($fh)-length($_);
seek($fh,$spot,SEEK_SET) or die($!);
s/\d/X/g;#replace digits with X's
print $fh "$_" or die($!);
}
close($fh);

If his file has lines of equal size, this would be fairly easy to do in place. Would be a little more complicated if not.

Spring Boot makes working with Spring Framework and managing your IoC/DI much nicer.
A decent answer, thanks.
The old fashioned way to deal with making sure you see your printed offsets is to actually print your offsets. You'd go to the machine room and run the command on the system console, which would typically be a hardcopy terminal like a DECwriter.

The trendy modern way, of course, would be to use the cloud. Upload the offsets to the cloud as they are produced, pausing until you get confirmation after each upload.

A more clever and/or foolhardy way is to put the crash recovery markers in the file itself. Place evenly spaced markers throughout the file, saving the data that they overwrite in a separate file. Then do your in-place file shifting. Finally, replace the markers with the saved data.
I think I recall the commenter mentioned he was of the lowest caste, and he decided to convert to Christianity to get away from the discrimination.
I hope no one is listing to you.

I don't want to start explaining to my mother, over the phone, how to install and use the pdf viewer anymore :|
And here I found it much less bloated than the other free desktop PDF viewers.

I think Mozilla's line of thought here is that PDF documents are widespread in the web, to the point where they are a de facto web document type. So it makes sense for a web browser to support them rather than calling out to a user's desktop program (though I assume you can configure it to do so instead).

There's probably a bit of "our competitors do it, so we have to too" in there as well.
This is a great point. An additional aspect to this is developers - while living in China, I spoke with a number of officials who essentially admitted that a major aspect of "relocation" was driven by developers who purchased land from the local governments and then were lent money by the local government. When those buildings weren't filled, and with the pressure to pay back loans mounting, the developers and local officials would conspire to force people from outlying regions to relocate in the town developments. The developers would then receive central/local $$ for "helping" low income citizens "move up." And then the cycle would repeat. This leaves out other aspects - but it certainly plays a role.
Surprising Towns and Cities Where $30k Can Fund a Good Life

> A report released in January by the Tibetan arm of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a high-profile advisory body to the government, describes internal discussions on strategies to tackle the “mental poverty” of rural laborers, including sending teams of officials into villages to carry out education and “guide the masses to create a happy life with their hardworking hands.”

I mean, we don't have to look elsewhere, direct quotes about this program sound super sinister

There's nothing inherently wrong with reading and writing to the same file (as least if it is a binary file). And if you read at offset x and write at offset x-y you can easily move contents around with only a very small buffer. Just be sure that you move in the correct direction, so that you dont override stuff you need later.

That people normally use temporary files, has two reasons: The first is that it is much safer if something goes wrong. You then still have the original and not some half-way processed file. The other reason is that reading and writing in text mode does not really work. But you can of course process text files as binary files and deal with line endings yourself.

I'd be extremely wary of adopting any new Google product given their tendency to abandon things that don't achieve immediate success.
> Many of these projects seem like they may have been funded by a specific donor,

Uhm, that's not the impression I got, as a total outsider. Things like FFSend or FFNotes were thought up as extensions to the browser model; others were attempts to cook up de-facto web standards (Persona, deuxdrop); others were just moonshots (FFOS).

In the early years, Netscape's needs definitely played a large part; after they got the Google money, though, they've mostly done things "because they could".
From 0 to OpenAPI: How GitHub Described a 10 year old API
The US returned to isolationism after the war.

I think the powers of the president are the real driver for such intervention. We always have interests on one side more than the other, and they can't resist meddling. FDR flagrantly took sides in WW2 which probably made getting pulled into that war inevitable.
This isn't part of GSuite and therefore isn't subject to the same SLA. I wonder if the pricing will stick like this forever or if it will eventually be bundled, since Microsoft already includes something like this in 365 (and many companies probably already pay someone else for this type of functionality, like Airtable).

I'd be a little scared of paying for something in the Google incubator, knowing how they cull stuff that isn't popular. But maybe it'll be successful and go into the bundle.
A system where large corporations handle the backbone and local ISPs and/or municipalities handle the last few miles sounds ideal for the US, but I am pretty skeptical as to whether we would get that if regulations simply ceased to exist.

("regulations simply cease to exist" seems like the casual definition for "deregulation," though the actual process of deregulation is for a bunch of people to pass a new set of regulations and if they're pandering to a certain constituency, they will call it "deregulation," regardless of the effect of the regulations they just passed. See: telecom, the airlines, banking, etc.)
I see companies shifting manufacturing out of the PRC, though sadly not fast enough and not for human rights reasons. Cellphones made in Vietnam etc. (e.g Pixel 4a I think) would be preferable to supporting the current regime in the PRC. Here's hoping we stop enabling the cruel regime in the PRC.
Given that Chrome/Edge also just added the feature, I would point out: All web browsers are using the same library for PDF handling, a feature in pdf.js ends up benefiting a lot of people.

And the reasons for not requiring an outside PDF reader are major: It's yet another likely-to-have-vulnerabilities program people need to install, then update. In most cases, avoiding Adobe programs on your PC is a good way to avoid a lot of vulnerabilities.
Search in PDF is broken since this update. I must go through the whole document for Firefox to load it up and being able to search in it. Couldn't find a similar issue on Bugzilla. Anyone having the same problem?
I find these animal behavioural studies fascinating.

There is always the risk of personification clouding our understanding, when we observe similarities to human behaviour. But another angle is de-personification of our own behaviour. That seems insightful in all sorts of way.

Certain behaviours, like "war," almost certainly predate cognitive modernity... modern human consciousness. Gwynne Dyer, a historian of war, had some interesting comparisons of humans and chimps. Many interesting similarities.

In any case, the ways that we rationalize our warfare, tribalism and such cannot actually be the reason for war. The warfare predates even our ability to formulate such rationalizations. This has a lot of applicability in our personal lives. Is the reason I did X really Y, or is Y a post fact rationalization?

100% agreed.

Even those among us that have for years recognised the hypocrisy of the West in condemning practises in other countries which they themselves implement, this trial of Assange is so explicit in nature that it's quite unsettling. There was an understanding that this type of thing was a line that a liberal democratic Western nation simply would not cross.

It seems "very weak" to you but not to me.

There's a line between being a journalist and engaging in a conspiracy. The quote you provided is an attempt to blur that line. But, as far as the law is concerned, that line exists...and it exists to protect journalists. There's a reason journalists have lawyers in the room when they make these kinds of decisions. It wouldn't be surprising if Julian Assange -- not known for his carefulness -- crossed that line.
It’s amazing to consider that these were transfer speeds between the CPU and RAM not that long ago.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I worked on the OSKit when I was an undergrad at Utah, and it was an incredibly fun project.

I think it petered out because the middle ground that it was trying to serve between tiny embedded devices and big computers became capable enough that running a small, full Linux system on them was no longer prohibitive for most of the uses the OSKit targeted. That, and the flux research group started spending a lot more time on Emulab (a project that is still running an incredibly valuable to the networking and systems research communities). Bryan Ford who was the lead author on the OSkit paper, left for a startup around the time it was published, (and is now a professor at EPFL).

There's also a bit of a theme of the pendulum swinging back and forth in what systems research is interested in, and the OSKit was released towards the end of the big push in microkernels, but a little bit too early to be relevant for a lot of the manycore research that came in the late 2000s.
Yea war is a terrible idea. Even if we “won” it would come at great cost. The best strategy is to contain them and wait for the inevitable communist collapse. Also, breaking the great firewall would do wonders in encouraging Chinese citizens to stand up for themselves. Hopefully Elon doesn’t kowtow to the CCP with Starlink.
The whole Tibet situation is such a horrible one.

From our Western perspective it feels so wrong that they're essentially trying to extinguish an entire culture and 'fitting' it into China.

But we also can't say anything because China makes all our stuff.

Plus, China isn't going to be impressed when the old Imperial continent with 140 ex-colonies and the current imperial top-dog with 800 foreign military bases are going to lecture them about occupying a territory.

For China Tibet is a buffer between India and them and it is where most of their water comes from, so they're never going to let any foreign entity control it. Seems out of the question.

I live in a European area that was 'assimilated' into a bigger country and forced to use their language and customs. This was over 150 years ago for my area now. And most people don't remember it and just go with the flow of the country they are born in.

I hope for all Tibetans that there will be some sense of regional pride remaining (and allowed) as they find a way to live as part of China.
> I wanted to find not-so-popular companies working on hard tech, long term problems

You won't find many. By definition what you're describing is incredibly expensive and without an immediate return. So the only groups that can afford work on these kinds of problems are academics, big companies with large R&D budgets or organizations like NASA or CERN. Any small company that attempts this will just go broke very quickly.
You would think if China does something like this they might do a better job keeping it a secret. Any links to a credible source? All I find is "Hundreds of document" and opinions of some "Experts". And again, Adrian Zenz, who is by no means "independent", just check the guy's track record.
Possibly for the same reason you watch it. It's interesting.
