And also, from a larger standpoint, we have a choice of two mutually exclusive options here. It comes down to either (a) freezing the TLD hierarchy in place and never creating any new ones (e.g. not even for a new country, or .mars or whatever), or (b) not retaining indefinite backwards support for multi-label DNS search lists when they happen to collide with new TLDs.

I would argue that, of the two options, option B is the less onerous one, and less restrictive on the future growth of the Internet. It's not that hard to set up some aliases to be able to SSH quickly into the right hosts without having to manually type out longer paths.
I appreciate this. I’ve had arguments about how automation is replacing jobs - most people I discuss this with are thinking automation needs to be something out of the Jetsons, but the reality is that technology replaces jobs in a more mundane way, by allowing us to stop thinking about basic daily logistics of life through automating or semi-automating them at scale.

I've was using my 13" MBP keyboard for awhile, but ended up getting a little bit of wrist cramps from using it plus the trackpad. I got this keyboard ~2 years ago after seeing a link here and I have had 0 regrets since purchasing it.

The wrist cramps went away almost immediately (which I would assume would have worked for any split keyboard with a better wrist resting angle). The learning curve took a little as the UHK has a Mod key on one side where the space bar is supposed to be and I would also sometimes try to hit keys with one hand that are on the other side of the keyboard. The UHK agent app makes it super easy to map any key from any layer (fn or mod) to something else or even a combination of keys. I pair this with Better Touch Tool app which helps me map keyboard combinations to other things like switching to apps. The last part is using the mouse with the "mouse button" in place of capslock key, which I feel has cut the need to take my hands off the keyboard by ~70%.

It was a little pricey purchase, but the quality is phenomenal and 100% worth the money. If mine broke for whatever reason today, I would buy another in a heartbeat.
Interesting, what about the fact people can just not write something in it?

There is literally zero evidence that he's working here (Thailand) legally. The article only says he works here, at a school.

Since this is critical health and safety stuff that can lead to serious injury, everyone I've ever seen uses hardware interlocks - generally, the door-closed switch is in series with the microwave power supply, so it's impossible for it to make microwaves with the door open. Only an idiot would put a safety interlock under software control, when a simple switch will do.

I don't know about the other countries, but "most" Norwegians are house owners (and therefore have pretty large debts, up to 6x their yearly income).

The government offers heavy incentives that promote owning a house/apartment, making renting long term a pretty bad economic option. If you plan to live somewhere for more than 2-3 years it's cheaper to own than to rent.
My daughter uses GoodNotes. You can convert selections to text, but I don't think there's an easy way to bulk convert. Behind the scenes it's doing it because search works on all handwritten notes.

Some of the apps allow for infinite scrollable pages so maybe that would decrease your need to convert everything to text?

Wow, very cool! I didn't see the string "mobile code" in this press release, but that's essentially what this is, right? Automatically moving objects to be near the computation that needs it, is a long-standing dream. It's awesome to see that Cloudflare is giving it a try! Plus, the persistence is clever - I'm guessing that makes the semantics of mobility much easier to deal with.

I love the migration to nearby edge nodes, but here's a question to any Cloudflare employees around: Have you given any thought to automatically migrating Durable Objects to end user devices?

That has security implications of course, so if you've dismissed the idea previously because the security issues are too hard to surface to the developer, that's reasonable.

I don't know if I agree with the idea that 'rockstar' engineers are worth they much more, but the 'counterpoint' article referenced doesn't seem to really contradict Hastings' point... if the idea is that the 'rockstar' dev was a bottleneck because none of the other devs could understand and keep up with him, then wouldn't a solution be to have a whole team of 'rockstars'? It seems like that would solve the problem

I'd like to try a split keyboard but I can't give up a bluetooth keyboard. It doesn't _seem_ like a major technical challenge to have a split bluetooth keyboard but I'm surprised one doesn't exist yet so maybe there's some challenge there.

Being able to split the keyboard wirelessly would give you freedom to put your hands wherever the heck you want. It would be interesting to play with different hand placements.

Good luck with your job search.
First of all

Thank you for analyzing. This gives fantastic context into the problem he had with his lack of copyright knowledge.

The big issue I have here is he was navigating a minefield. He and people like him are the reason YouTube exists. There has to be a better way of what YouTube is doing than just a "if you trip up a minor easily exploitable offense you are gone".

His sob story definitely left details out, but this is the way of YouTube. And YouTube gives no real support unless you go viral with your sob story.

So in the end... This is just fucking terrible.
I'd love to see a response from other countries where they block Facebook and Twitter permanently or at least force them to change their newsfeed algorithm.

These services are causing the world to become politically unstable by stoking up rage for the purpose of selling ads. This is the biggest threat to our shared future.

I think we eventually will be able to evaluate JS in context of types and return whatever we want even asynchronously. Now we have some combinators given by TS authors which allow us to compose some limited set of computations. I don't know how Java does it, but I hope TS will do it better :-)
Defending systems against hacking tends to be far harder than hacking them, if only because you have to think of everything, and then harden it.

Based on the UK's record with IT I would be far more reassured if it was working hard to defend critical civilian infrastructure than if it could take out a few servers in a remote country.
It's annoying, we all ran into it, but usually if you get weird results you just make clean and make again and move on. Deployments should always build from scratch.

All those fancy checks plus database could be added to make too if you really wanted. It still wouldn't support all the fancy features of redo, but improve your experience with all those existing projects based on make.

> . . . cabs are vastly better than most offerings from Uber, since the car is designed for transporting paying passengers . . .

> Aren't the levels of Uber that allow a Prius to be used much, much cheaper than a black cab?
If you want a larger car, you can get it. You'll just pay a bit more.

> On paper, sure. In practice, I find that Uber is nearly constantly in surge pricing in London. I've had it several times now where I Was riding in a group, same start point same destination - some people in ubers, some in black cabs. Again, with normal pricing Uber should be cheaper, but since it's very often at 1.5x-2x multiplier, it works out the same or actually more expensive than a black cab. And sure, there is the higher tier of ubers too, but it's usually showing me 20-30 minute wait for a cab for a nicer car.

Seems like the fact that there is constantly surge pricing and long waiting time means that there are too few Uber drivers, even in "low quality" cars, to meet demand. Your complaints sound like the old joke about prison food: it tastes terrible and the portions are too small.
I think this is in general the right call, but I would prefer seeing the adoption of a more general substructural type system implementation and the inclusion of uniqueness types. It would not add that much complexity when the use case is specifically limited to advanced users and the obvious trade offs in syntax increase and annotations are limited to those that want/need it.
"No individual or group has nothing close to full control of it."

Wrong. Full control has been the case for a long time - at least 100 years, possibly thousands. History is so badly mangled however, we cannot read it, but this is evidenced everywhere... I now think that 1984 was actually more fact that fiction.

Worse, our education is such that we are also trained not to observe it. We don't know anything. Really. Say, h2o - water. Find an example of someone adding these 2 gases to create water. You will see pops! and water condensation on bottles - but that is from the air itself. They cannot create water from those 2 gases!

We are on a slave planet, where nothing is as it seems, where we are mostly not even aware that this is the case.

If your experience and understanding of reality is overturned in the coming months or years, bear this in mind. Try not to jump to conclusions, or to lunge out at the first person you feel is to blame for your situation (police, parents, teachers, etc) - these people are as unwitting as everyone else - they believed the stories and disbelieved their own experience.
Their incentive is to get someone out of jail. That's not always the same thing.
Quoting from "man tdelete": tdelete() returns a pointer to the parent of the node deleted, or NULL if the item was not found. If the deleted node was the root node, tdelete() returns a dangling pointer that must not be accessed.

The quote in TFA is incomplete. The design of tdelete is quite bad, but I would argue that it is not a memory bug. A bug would occur when the caller of tdelete ignores the spec and dereferences the dangling pointer.

> even if the abilities in question happened to be exaggerated.

I donno. Stuxnet demonstrated how sophisticated the capabilities are of highly advanced nations, and that was around 10 years ago.

At this point, I suspect that the assumption is that any computer-controlled system will be a target for cyber-espionage, and that it might not be obvious that such an attack is underway without some kind of monitoring that relies on statistical analysis of the performance deviance from some expected value.

To compound the problem, the USA & China can likely obtain technical specs for just about any system produced in the world by just asking, and failing that, through corporate espionage. Which means these countries are pretty well positioned to pull off crazy hacks that wouldn't even seem possible.

You're a software developer so in all honesty, I think you'll do well in finding a new job. I recommend the following:

Breathe, and take some time to figure yourself out. If you can afford it, a couple weeks or more of relaxing, adjusting your resume a bit before beginning to apply will be good.

When you're ready to dive back in:

- Prepare your story. What makes you stand out? Understand how to sell yourself and know your worth

- Skill up where impactful: Dedicate time each day to practice coding (leetcode), writing (tinker with technology and write a blog post, even if you don't publish it), and telling your story (practice interview questions and ensure you're confident in answering them)

- Start interviewing. I recommend managing 2-4 interviews a week so that you don't overwhelm yourself and you can give more focus to each company. Some people like to min/max the hell out of this so you may prefer that approach. Your call

- Don't jump the gun on the first offer unless you really need to. Try to see what's available and find a job you'll thrive in.

And remember, you are still a software developer (not was) :)

Yeah, there's lots of phrases that can be unexpected when you first run into them - so I can get how you'd find it confusing.

I don't just mean 'rich countries'/'poor countries.' First, because that is not necessarily as simply true anymore - the economic relations are much more complicated. Second, that is a value judgement about how countries ought to develop.

In my opinion a huge role in the raise of IT people salary is their tendency to brag about their salary, one way or another.

For better or for worse, this lead to discussions about salary, negotiating practices, and to people looking elsewhere.

I sometimes speak with people that work in other fields and many of them have zero clue about these topics, whereas in most IT-related discussion boards (whether it's HN, reddit or whatever) there's a related thread in an almost periodic cadence. We in IT are kinda obsessed with these topics (we're discussing this on a VC-owned discussion board after all).

On a different topic: is there any data for salaries in other fields for the same companies (FAANG and similar) ? It'd be interesting to see how much earns, for example, a lawyer in such companies.

I use a MacBook pro and I really want to use a split keyboard for better ergonomics. I tried a few, however I feel that I need lift my arm to use a trackpad (external or the one on the mac) or a mouse, whereas on the mac I don't have to lift by hand I can just move my wrist.

The trackpad has a lot of nice features missing in a mouse. I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts but I still need to reach for the pad.

Does any body have a workaround for this?
