I clicked the "download on the app store" button, but ended up on a domain "app.adjust.com" showing a full screen "safari cannot open this page. The error was: the URL was blocked by a content blocker". Deceptive link, doesn't go to the regular ios app store for sure.

If you want to "unf*ck the internet", perhaps start doing exactly that with your own links. I cannot understand why "adjust dot com" needs to insert itself between this page and the app store. If it's for installation tracking, why not host whatever tracking service on your own domain? AFAIK "adjust dot com" couldn't possibly offer any magic installation tracking that the first party domain couldn't offer.

What's the goal of this campaign? To raise awareness about Firefox's products and increase users?

If so, who is the target demographic? The art and style look like they belong on Nickelodian.

It's giving me a "Hello, fellow kids" vibe.
It's also one of those frustrating life lessons about putting in the work.

Like, sanding. When you first start out you're very tempted to just give it a very cursory sand to get any splinters off the edges or whatever, but once you sand something butter-smooth once, you have the frustrating realization that you're going to have to keep investing that much time and effort on every project you make going forward.

I'm an interdisciplinary developer / creative technologist with a focus on front end web. 5+ years experience. Often I'm in hybrid roles that incorporate both development and UX design. A background in art, I've worked on physical interactive installations. Most often I'm building web apps, which I can do with React or Vue. I have experience leading small teams.

Mozilla just signed another huge deal with Google for the default search engine in Firefox to be Google. Judgement of that deal aside for a moment, Mozilla isn't going anywhere soon.

It's rather ubiquitous, I'm surprised you haven't seen them. The plastic bits in the USB 3 ports in my motherboard, case, keyboard, _and_ the USB ports built into my monitor arms are all blue. Lower USBs are black. It's not universal, but it is very common.

>sure, if you're familiar with the pinout

Literally half the pins are missing on charge-only cables.

>but I don't really understand why they are getting so much flak for it.

From me, because my partner bought an USB-C to 3.5mm jack converter that refused to work with "this device only supports official huawei converters". That, and two completely different cables with almost disjoint functionality look _the same_. If they mandated color coding or anything else to be able to physically determine what cable is what, I wouldn't complain.

That all said, the _charging_ story is decent enough, everything else is garbage.
Microusb usually didn't burn out or brick the device
It's like saying that because one concrete house collapsed because the architect didn't properly so it's job concrete house are bad in general.

Also most charger are fully compatible with the switch off I remember correctly the only way to fry your switch with a charger is by using a charger with high voltage/amper support with a cable which doesn't support any form of fast charging and even then it might not happen. But most chargers which support faster charging do have the cable fixed to the charger to prevent any user confusion.

As an effect of this most (all?) USB-C PD laptop chargers work with the switch. Only with chargers for phones and small tablets do you have to be careful but again most higher quality chargers from that area work just fine, too.
Y Combinator's S20 Startup Career Expo, December 3rd 2020, 3PM PT (Virtual) | https://www.workatastartup.com/events/startup-career-expo-s2... | Across North America (and some globally) | Full Time

Twice a year, Y Combinator incubates 200+ companies that go on to raise a healthy seed round (or more) and look to hire early employees. Our most recent graduating Summer '20 class includes a range of startups in finance, operations, developer tools, healthcare and more. Moreover, because of the nature of YC this year, opportunities are more widespread around the world, including the US, Brazil, Mexico, Finland, India and more.

We're running YC's S20 Startup Career Expo on December 3rd to introduce these companies to engineers and other talented people that are interested in working at startups. Founders from 30+ startups will each give 1 minute pitches on their company and why you might want to work with them. Following that, we'll host an open Expo for you to meet the founders and their teams (in small groups and even 1-1) to learn about their technology and business, and see if it's a good fit for you.

Our last Tech Talk was similar, and people stayed for hours after the talks to learn about these startups and make connections for job opportunities. Because of the demand, we're asking people to apply to attend:

https://www.workatastartup.com/events/startup-career-expo-s2...

We look forward to introducing the newest YC startups and their founders to you.

I'd guess pretty much everyone you sit next to currently is capable of committing a serious, violent crime under the right (wrong) circumstances.
Aldanor has an important point here, in the "and the some".

Rust is deliberately a weaker language for expressing library semantics. You can write libraries in C++ that cannot be written in Rust, that encapsulate semantics that cannot be captured in Rust. C++ library writers do, routinely. The C++ Standard Library has many components that could not be coded in Rust, that make the language more powerful for all users.

This makes Rust easier to learn, but it limits the libraries you can use, having learned it, and limits the libraries you can write.

This is a difficult tradeoff for any language design. Haskell is more powerful, too, and also harder to learn and to use well. (At the same time, its lack of destructors also limits it in ways that Rust and C++ do not suffer.)

The OOP -- inheritance, and virtual functions -- is a niche feature that is sometimes useful, but can often be emulated well enough with function pointers.
I think if you said they're useless for you nobody would've batted an eye, but I think saying they're useless in general is just wrong considering how many users they have.

Ask HN: Why are ad-blockers so effective
Why are ad-blockers so effective?

My naive take is: wouldn't it be easy to go around ad blockers by:

1.) Making all ad traffic route through the origin website.

2.) Serving ads in the same way that the content is served -- so it is more difficult to separate.

Note: To get some things out of the way: I like that ad blockers are effective. I understand that content producers need to make money and sometimes the only viable option may be ads. Some exceptions: youtube and some social media sites are able to serve ads effectively. I am focused on the "web" in general.
What would the size be of the equivalent dictionary to GPT-2?
I don't understand your point. I never use a GPS to navigate, and I've gotten plenty lost. Six months ago, while aimlessly exploring westward on my motorcycle to get some air at the beginning of quarantine I went down a road I was familiar with a different segment of. I did not realize the road went through some strange twists (with no exit) where I got on it this time, and by the time I was able to get off of it, I was completely disoriented. My attempts to correct got me even more disoriented, to the point where I was relying on the sun so I would at least know the cardinal direction I was heading in. My original thinking that getting my bearings would be trivial caused me to make quick decisions that left me so confused that I couldn't even retrace my route back to the road that originally discombobulated me. I didn't want to ask for directions because I was afraid of the virus. I ended up pulling into a hardware store's parking lot, and calling my mother who lives in a different state asking her to google map the hardware store by name so she could point me back in the direction of the city where I live. I had managed to get over an hour away from my house, meaning that almost every decision I made was wrong.

I can't say it wasn't a nice ride, though. But my point is that people are not homing pigeons. I'm very good at navigating generally, but a couple of bad decisions can compound. That's how people get lost in the woods. If your commute is complicated, the way you actually end up memorizing it is by screwing it up a bunch of times.
I have transported a bunch of lumber with two Civic sedans, mid-1990s and mid-2010s. Small cars with seats that fold down, kind of like the Prius in that respect.

If possible, I get the store to cut the stock down beforehand. Works for 4x8 sheets of ply, for example. To fit in my car, it kind of needs to be less than 36" wide and not much more than 8' long, but specifics vary.

If I need basically a full sheet (4'x8' or 5'x5'), I put a blanket on my car roof, put the wood up top, and use 2 moderate-duty ratcheting straps (less than $20) to hold it down. No problem.

If it's long stuff (for my car, ~10') then I either put it up top, or let it hang out the back with a red flag on it. You can optionally get an accessory for your car to hold the trunk lid partway open so it does not sway up and down throughout the trip home. Keep the driver's window down a bit so you don't pull exhaust into the car.

Another solution that I've used to avoid delays getting pieces cut down is to take a saw with me. A basic $25 Japanese-style pull saw will do a great job on mouldings (and is just a good tool in general), and a hacksaw works for thinner metal. Some people take a battery-powered circular saw -- again, not a bad tool to have anyway, especially if you're bought in to a given battery-powered system (e.g., Bosch, Makita).

I live in a city, and this means I often have to take surface streets on the way home. I favor closer lumberyards for that reason.
It's nigh-impossible to please privacy absolutists, while also hoping to create a consumer friendly (UX-wise) product. It also takes very little for them to toss the baby out with the bathwater.

Which is all a bit baffling since we already have a privacy absolutist's dream version of Firefox called the Tor Browser.

Apple is only focused on privacy in the barest sense. They'll refuse to unlock physical devices while happily answering thousands of requests from the US and other govermnents for users' iCloud data[0]. They also don't allow users to encrypt data stored in iCloud, expressly so they can continue to do this[1].

Apple's front as a privacy company is little more than PR. I understand this isn't really the point of your comment, but I think the privacy policies of Apple and Mozilla make for a misleading comparison.

Mozilla cannot have anything other than a huge positional advantage over Apple where privacy is concerned, mainly because the amount and type of personal data the two companies ingest are so vastly different. Were Mozilla to adopt Apple's stance on privacy, results would be disastrous.

Yes. If you can test for it, they can too. Anyone who claims otherwise is selling bridges.

"Don't", not "can't". This is the problem with all detection claims. Obviously they will in the future. Probably soon, as the final sentence says.

decentriq | Senior Software Engineer | Zürich, CH | REMOTE possible | Full-time

At decentriq we change how the world accesses data. We are a Swiss tech startup that focuses on confidential computing - that is computing on data while provably keeping the data confidential from all parties, including us. We leverage the latest advances in cryptography and privacy tech to build a cloud platform that enables companies to run analytics on unseen sensitive data in a privacy-preserving way. We define a new category of collaboration.

We are looking for a senior software engineer (starting as soon as possible) to join our mission. The work location can be fully remote (+/- 4h CET) or in the Zürich office.

In this case they seem to have collected 60 GB data shared among 50 managers. It's interesting that no one raised an issue. It only became known after the network share was made visible to more people by mistake.
Yes, unless the technology has no societal implications.
Every little bit helps...
The current implementation is such that every heap allocated object does have a refc field, but it is simply unused for lifetimes managed at compile time. It would be possible to do further analysis to able to separate out objects which guaranteed never participate in runtime refc updates, and the omit that field. That would be similar to be able to emit to a language like Rust and select an Rc type or not. There are other places where the current algorithm may rely on Lobster specifics (such as closed world compilation and flow-sensitive typing).

Mutation is not protected from having multiple owners/borrowers like in Rust. Lobster does not have shared-memory concurrency (only distributed), nor interior pointers, nor pointers to stack objects (always copied), so its situation is a whole lot simpler. It does "lock" local variables for mutation after borrowing.

I don't think there's any need for anything MMU in what I am doing. Most is compile time. At runtime only the remaining refc ops happen. What did you have in mind?

Hah, I guess there was a paid version of Amiga E that was on those BBS-es :) The free version was limited to emitting 32K executables (which was a lot of code back then).
WalmartLabs | Staff Software Engineer (Clojure) | REMOTE (US only) | Full-time

We're a small close-knit team backed by big company resources. We write mission-critical, robust software that's used by millions of Walmart's customers daily.

Our suite of software includes but is certainly not limited to:

- a large distributed system that processes all store transactions from every Walmart and Sam's Club store in the US. If you've ever used Walmart Pay, this is how you get your electronic receipt!

- a massive GraphQL service that powers all customer purchase & returns history for all platforms (written using our own open-source GraphQL implementation for Clojure: https://github.com/walmartlabs/lacinia). We roll out new marquee customer-facing features in this service almost weekly: everything from tire installation services to bakery orders to propane tanks.

- services to allow customers to manage and purchase care plans

- transactional push notifications

Our tech stack is: Clojure (for everything!), GraphQL, Cassandra, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Redis, Prometheus, Ruby (for some infrastructure tasks)

Here's a few things we value that you should have:

- A self-starter, self-accountable, curious, and DIY attitude. A lot of our bedrock technology is home-grown and written to solve our own unique Walmart-scale problems. One of the engineers on our team wrote an entire Clojure dialect (https://github.com/candid82/joker/), and scripts written in that language now do a lot of heavy lifting of our own infrastructure.

- A good intuition for writing code that won't fall over under pressure and handles failure states well. We deploy daily and a null pointer might impact millions of requests in a few minutes.

- An interest in doing DevOps-y stuff and a high expectation in good monitoring. We have full ownership of the life-cycle of our code and the servers it runs on.

- The ability to think and work in functional languages (Clojure)

- Experience writing distributed systems with a lot of message passing

We've got a unique holiday shopping season coming up, and we'd love to have you join the team. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please send me an email: bcarrell@walmart.com

13 years for a "serious, violent crime" could very well be referring to second degree murder in many states. No, I don't think my coworkers or friends have committed second degree murder.

Context is of course key, but a blanket statement of "hiring someone who spent 13 years in prison for a serious, violent crime is a good thing" seems wild to me, which is the vibe on this thread.
> depending on the crime, obviously

Well, this is the big part that's missing from the story.
13 years seems like it was a big deal.

Is it even legal to ask someone who was in prison what their crime was during an interview?
That's hot.
That's true. I either misread the headline or it was changed from "_How_ my friend got a job at...". Probably the former.
