Old-school server-side-rendered HTML. It's sufficient for the majority of websites and CRUD apps and is so much simpler to develop for with less moving parts and failure modes.
Testing all of the doubles may actually be possible [1]. Even if that estimate is optimistic, testing all doubles for order $10k would be feasible for some problems.

A number of problems surface [0]. Starting with timing leaks.

> The first difficulty of implementing cross-origin, content addressable caching on the Web platform is that it may leak information about the user’s past browsing. For example, site "A" could load a script with a given hash, then later when the user visits site "B", it could attempt to observe the time it takes to load that same resource and infer whether the user had previously been at "A".

If you're a front-end dev, you'd probably worked with PMs on building features that helps the product grow. This guide covers many of those features.

If you're a backend dev, you'd probably been asked to create database tables to save marketing or business data. AirTable allows many business people to create tables and gather info , and selling info without involving backend dev.

It will be interesting to see how the self-serve business tools (nocode) will affect the type of work devs will be asked to do in the future.
> There is a well-known idea that liberal Hollywood indoctrinates audiences, leading them to change their values or beliefs.

The author spends half the article on what is essentially a left-wing fairy tale that posits the question, "If the Democrats had political rhetoric even half as effective as the Republicans , what might it sound like?" Putting that show in the context of "liberal indoctrination" is like writing an entire article on Bolero and then stating, "A lot of people find Ravel's music blustery and repetitive."

I also love how the author uses ambiguity to hedge in that sentence. E.g., change how? Say I give the example of Zero Dark Thirty repeating the right-wing propaganda of its former-CIA consultants to rationalize the CIA torture regime so a lot of powerful people can continue evading jail time. I go on to explain that this is par for the course for the modern Hollywood U.S. war movie with very few exceptions. Well, the author never said the indoctrination was toward liberal values-- they only implied it was effective in changing ideas and values. So now they can freely pivot to one of a number of potentially contradictory positions at will (military movies are an exception, Hollywood liberal are only liberal in name, author doesn't actually believe the trope and was only using it as an example, Hollywood liberalism is uncritical and therefore subject to exploitation from other powerful propagandists like the Pentagon/China, etc.).

In light of that it is worth noting-- especially on HN-- that there is writing in the humanities that doesn't merely "ask questions," but also does research, provides evidence, and takes a stance based on that evidence. This isn't an example of that.
> Let's put it this way: if the Sheriff breaks the law, who will arrest them?

State or federal law enforcement officers, or, even city police. Depending on the specific structure of the department, possibly his own deputies.

Sheriffs are not, in theory or practice, immune to arrest, e.g.: https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/embattled-...

Is there a list of common story lines somewhere? I used to watch sitcoms as a kid, so my memory needs to stretch back a bit, but that seems to sum up almost any episode that I can think of.

I've heard something along the lines of "there are only 6 types of plots and every movie is just a rehash of one of them", but I've never actually found the list.
This just looks like a bunch of random gists and code snippets. It's hard to understand how that would somehow "teach coding concepts" at all let alone "faster." Also what's up with the "Support us on HN" link at the top? That seems rather dubious.
Are you using your observations of Apple's user-facing iOS Update UI to conclude that they're not capable of pushing a silent update to an iOS device? You do realize that branded OS updates and even point releases are not the only units of software that receive updates from Apple, right?

Google also asks you if you'd like to update Android, and they currently let you turn off auto-updates in the Play store, but they push updates to their nebulous, infinitely privileged "Play Services" packages frequently and without asking or informing the user. Even if Apple doesn't currently do something similar, it would be foolish to believe that they're not capable of doing so, as an ace-up-their-sleeve in an emergency scenario.

Also baseband firmware is pushed by the carriers silently and is essentially unauthenticated.

You really, really, really should not trust your phone, like, at all.
Correlate navigation requests made through DDG with location data from people with less of a focus on privacy. From there you can use a social graph to narrow down who lives at a given location to a small set of people. It's a lot better than straight up telling a third party which account lives at/uses a certain location, but it's navigation is a very revealing activity no matter what.
Marketplace is sensationalized garbage. Watch one of their videos on YouTube to see what I mean. It's all spin, trying to make people outraged.

CBC is definitely a mixed bag. Marketplace is amongst their worst.
The post is "Please stop using CDNs for external JavaScript Libraries" not "Please stop using CDNs". If a CDN is critical to your site's performance you should put your site on it not internal libraries here and external libraries there. The page mentions this as well:

"Speed:

You probably shouldn’t be using multi-megabyte libraries. Have some respect for your users’ download limits. But if you are truly worried about speed, surely your whole site should be behind a CDN – not just a few JS libraries?"

Also even before QUIC HTTP/2 fixed a lot of the problems with distance as you no longer need to wait for separate handshakes for multiple files to be streamed. QUIC will still give a few advantages but again those advantages would be good to have on your whole site not just a few libraries.
When you're measuring female participation in the single digit percentage range ("You will not be surprised to learn that, in one 1978 survey of fantasy role-playing gamers, only 2.3 percent of respondents were female; in another, only 0.4 percent."), that's a striking observation about the participants and culture and attractions there of.

But it's even more interesting when you reflect on the point OP inadvertently makes, and which I mentioned about this mostly predating the D&D renaissance: that's obviously not true now. So how has D&D culture changed?
It's their free speech, and Yelp isn't a court of law. If there is an article reporting a business as engaged in racist practices, it is their right to link to such an article on the website Yelp owns.
I looked into this a few years ago[1]. The solution I came to involves putting the hash of the most recent Bitcoin block in your document, and then signing the hash of your document into the Bitcoin blockchain.

This cryptographically proves that the document was created/published within those two time bounds.

This of course doesn't help in all cases, i.e. you could edit an old document to make it look newer, but I'm not aware of any way to properly solve that particular problem without a trusted third-party.

Allaire’s Coldfusion web server and language which existed before .Net existed. Allaire did everyone a disservice when they sold themselves to Macronedia which was then bought by Adobe. At the time, Coldfusion was years ahead of what would become asp.net. I wished they sold or licensed themselves to Microsoft.

Isn’t this solved more generically by version control? As long as your package manager uses files to control the packages searched for, them you commit those files between upgrades and revert them to rollback. nix handles this at the system-level by making your system configuration match a declarative specification.
Reading through the history section pisses me off. That seems like some really impressive tech; I wonder where it’d be today if it had succeeded.
Interesting. Similarly in some countries the ATM will return the money first and then the card and in other countries the order is reversed.

Boat sounds in the Australian outback? I doubt it.
It is hosted on Azure. Yes, SafeBus is available in US
Fewer than 200 people die every year in the US (~1 in 1,500,000) from rifle homicides, fewer than the number of people who die from kicks and punches or blunt objects, and yet rifle platforms such as the AR-15 are one of the most popular targets of anti-gun lawmakers and are heavily regulated in many states.

Saving lives is not a rational explanation for the political strategy of anti-gun activists. If it were, I would be more willing to consider what they had to say. Based on what they do rather than what they say, I can only conclude that their motivations have nothing to do with rationally increasing safety, and are more related to mindless irrational fear, disarming people for political reasons, and simply pandering to people who have also done no real research.
I wish we all were using swc.rs by now. Last time I checked it was still relying on nightly rust, but it seems not anymore. This we I saw someone complaining that webpack-dev-server was taking 4.5GB (not a mistake) to "concatenate strings for older browsers" in a fairly large codebase. There is just no excuse for that.
That obnoxious shit is one reason why I won't buy one. It's like a Usenet sig still being used 20 years after they became uncool.

Do you really suggest that West German police was basically Gestapo that changed the name? Because that's what MGB to KGB transition was. The status was changed from Ministry to Committee, that's it.

The policy has been changed under Khrustchev, but thousands of the same butchers that committed massacres of 1930s were serving (often in the same offices) until late 1970s.

Lets bring it back to the practice that was initially discussed.

* Portland city passes a law, where its now illegal for police to use tear gas (https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racia...)

* The use of tear gas remains legal in the State, and Federal governments. (This appears to be a local law and/or ordinance).

* Local Sheriff decides the law is stupid, uses tear gas anyway.

The Sheriff hasn't broken any state, or federal law. Only the local law. Literally no one can arrest him in this situation.
If anyone wants an easy way to wake up early, go camping.

You are forced to go to bed early once it gets dark, and once it's morning even if you're tired, it's too bright to sleep in.
There's an exhibit in the city gardens here that illustrates how cacti use colour to manage their heat in hot climates. The exhibit is four circles of paint in black, grey, green and white, and it's noticeably different on each! Even grey was noticeably cooler.
That can mitigate the damage, but any user with a browser that doesn’t support it will still be compromised.

If it’s an important part of the site, it might make the failure more obvious in newer browsers.. but small libraries used on only some pages might not be noticed quickly... so you’d probably also want to test all of your resources regularly.. and even then the time between those test runs may allow some users to be compromised.

So using it is a good idea but it’s not a fix for the actual problem.
Insofar as a a philosopher's job is to think clearly, analyze concepts, and provide arguments, I agree.

Like cycling or any other activity, there are levels to philosophy. But that doesn't mean you should enter the Tour de France because you're interested in mathematical Platonism.

4% of the population is small enough to represent people with extra sensitive hearing, or bigger ears. They could be hearing many different sources of low frequencies (long wavelengths), which have high resonance ergo long range.

The most general (worldwide) sources I can think of would be high altitude wind, or subterranean water flow. I heard the hum, middle of last night, after two days heavy rain, and I live over a large watershed. I have sensitive hearing and big ears. The study should also ask people to rate their motion sensitivity.

Yes. And?

The alpha dynamics of a liquidity related sell-off are heavily tilted towards folks with locked up capital. Why do you think every manager and their mother has raised a distressed fund?[1]

You can have access to that return profile simply by having some capital ready to deploy as an individual, for the reasons I described above. This can add massive alpha.

Mostly non-militarized police are the answer to the mostly peaceful protest.
No, it speaks to how successful GG was as a propaganda tactic that anyone still thinks it was anything but targeted harassment, despite the extensive work put into documenting the evidence it was nothing but targeted harassment.
this is neat. that said, to me, this is like comparing car startup times. even if a tesla starts faster than a toyota, they're both fast enough to not notice 99.999% of the time. This isn't a factor in a purchasing decision -- i've never even thought of that before contriving this metaphor
Gary Glitter was wildly popular in the UK top 10 and was subsequently very big on the university circuit. He was then publicly disgraced and imprisoned, but that was well after the period I mentioned. I am not a fan of cancelling people's creative output because of criminality.

> [West Wing] tested “extremely well” with certain audience segments. Among them: households that earned more than $75,000 a year, households with at least one college graduate and households that subscribed to The New York Times.

Ah: white, liberal households.

I’m the first to say that not everything should be about politics, but I’ve always strongly associated that show with the left. I’ve never heard a conservative reference it at all.

Honestly, this seems like a pretty transparent attempt to let readers of the NYT feel good about themselves.
Good, I decided to finally ditch Google Maps as my usual go-to app when I need bus directions, itineraries or things like that. The app is now cluttered with too much suggestions about restaurants, places and suggestions I have no interest about on the moment.

I recently re-installed Here maps (which I loved on windows mobile) and my country railway app has built-in bus data so it can help plan travels as well.

I didn't saw any hints about it in the article but are they going to build an app around it ?

Edit: ah, they don't have public transport schedules yet.
This is certainly a promising endeavor.

Bjarne Stroustrup learned most of what he knows about OO from Kristen Nygaard personally, as he was at Aarhus University at the same time as Nygaard was there. He'd sit and talk to Nygaard for hours, but noted in an interview with Lex Fridman that it was usually just Nygaard talking at him for hours and him soaking as much as possible up. So even "well aware" is a bit of an understatement.
I doubt there are licensing issues (or at least that is how I TRIED to write the license I included)... but if there are, please contact me on LinkedIn. Are you suggesting I should just put it all on Github as a publicly readable repo? I could probably do so.

It's great as long as creators do this voluntarily. In an ideal world, you'd hire someone to compose music for a particular project.
With all these examples of other things that have the same name, is almost like it’s okay if a bunch of things have the same name
Maybe not a deciding factor, but definitely a factor in a purchasing decision, among many others.

“Anything else bad across might abuse” includes things that people can’t possibly delude themselves into thinking it would be rational to outlaw, such as cars and caustic cleaning agents.

Of course, shockingly few of these ban-heavy countries, with the exception of the East Asian ones, have considered the much more effective strategy of adopting laws to reduce the number of bad actors. Switzerland is almost unique in only adopting laws to reduce the number of bad actors (very strict immigration system) but having fairly lax object laws (knives are mostly fine, guns are relatively loosely regulated) and it works well for them.
You know that signature can easily be customized or removed - it's just that nobody does it.
> According to the seizure documents, four of the domains purported to be genuine news outlets but were actually controlled by the IRGC and targeted the United States for the spread of Iranian propaganda to influence United States domestic and foreign policy in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and the remainder spread Iranian propaganda to other parts of the world.

Do they get to seize the Voice of America domain too?
> And its highly questionable that their mapping can actually deal with all the incredibly complexity of the real world.

Funny, I have the same the opinion of Tesla’s camera-only approach.

> I'm going with the better process, not the better demo.

A “demo” with 20 million autonomous miles clocked vs 12.2 miles. The “process” that has so far yielded very little in terms of actual autonomous driving if you ignore the FSD marketing speak.
It's the one thing that's kept me off DDG - the superior choice of OSM exists. And as you've pointed out, their choice of maps now forces the user into Apple's hands as the choice of navigation, a company which I do not trust, and I certainly don't see it as the least evil.

Even placing my mistrust aside, it's once again a US-centric move; as garbage as Apple Maps is, it's even worse outside the US.

The only reason for this choice that makes any sense, is that they've received a monetary incentive for this, and neither company has been open about it.
There's no law that says you have to invest in Europe, right?

The US stock market outperforms any European or Canadian stock market in the past 10 years, and there's no reason that won't continue. This is because the US is where tech stocks are listed.

So, invest in the US even if you live outside the US. YMMV.

I write a bit. I use my laptop. I change my methods frequently (text files, notion, html, markdown, wiki, wordpress).

Lately I've slacked a bit and so a couple days ago I decided to simply write letters to myself. This is very, very easy. I don't have to worry about how good it is, I'm only writing to myself. I also put a note in my calendar to go back and read my letters about once a month.

Sometimes I'll expand letters into blog posts or small books. I've published several small books in the past, the most recent being my introduction to computer programming for absolute beginners, which is called "Splash of Code by Joel Dare".
Things have gotten even faster since then.

* Target: 64-bit space (2^64).

* GPUs are more flexible and faster. A Vega64 (a few years old now) has 4096 shaders ("CudaThreads") at 1.6 GHz. It can search the entire 32-bit floating point (or integer) space in less than a second. 1.6 GHz x 4096 shaders == 2^42.5 bitspace per second.

* People exhaustively searching a space are relatively patient: and willing to wait months for the results. 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 30 days == 2^21.3

1.6 GHz x 4096 shaders x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 30 days is roughly equal to 2^63.8. We've done it: a month of GPU effort is all you need to exhaustively search the 64-bit space

-------

We've entered a world (~3 years ago), where it is reasonable to brute force the 64-bit space, so long as you're willing to wait about a month for the results.

If you're not willing to wait a month, then use 2 GPUs, or 4 GPUs, or a cluster of GPUs like the DGX A100 (or multiple clusters).
Matt Levine calls this the "bored market hypothesis": people are investing purely for fun, in significant enough numbers to actually move the market.
I'm curious if you've ever had the chance to see an oled monitor in person and if it reacts similarly to a CRT for you. They have a global refresh/flash instead of one that's rasterizing so it might not have the same effect and they don't have the same phosphor fade of a CRT either. I'm also curious about the LCD monitors that strobe the backlight to reduce apparent motion blur (basically they shut the backlight off during the time that each pixel is fading between colors in each frame).
Enjoyed your write up and journey. One idea I haven’t heard mentioned often is on Product Hunt give a lifetime subscription to users with a time limit of 24 hours. A great idea for early supporters.
