This is not a new thing, whenever you use the "unsafe" keyword you have to pay attention to undefined behavior. For instance, having two "mut" references at the same time to the same memory has always been undefined behavior in Rust; you cannot construct them without "unsafe", but it's very easy to do with "unsafe" (just cast to a pointer and back). In the same way, "unsafe" allows you to construct references with an arbitrary lifetime, and many other potentially-undefined things; see https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/behavior-considered-unde... for a list.

I don't think Rust will "get to where C++ is" (whatever that means), because (outside of compiler bugs) you will not have undefined behavior unless you use "unsafe", and most Rust code doesn't use "unsafe"; the pieces that do use "unsafe" can be carefully audited (instead of auditing the whole code).

Great. Go ahead and demonstrate that Signal Protocol has received sufficient attention from motivated hackers to your satisfaction. Telegram has an open invitation to crack their protocol for 100k USD. Nobody's collecting. I guess those high-value targets using Telegram must be worth more than 100k.

I don't need to demonstrate anything other than what I have already: when would we know a protocol has received significant attention from motivated hackers? I'll take a gander and say it's when that protocol is broken and is discovered by a security researcher or someone on the crisis response team.

I'm not claiming MTProto 2 is secure. Neither am I claiming Signal Protocol is secure. Undoubtedly both protocols have undiscovered vulnerabilities. I am directly refuting and admonishing a user for linking to a Stack Exchange comment that addresses a previous protocol with almost nothing in common to the present one.

On the second point, however, I kinda agree. People are mentioning some of the +8XX international codes but we should really go hierarchical. A separate higher level code for Earth, for Moon, other planetary bodies; then eventually higher level codes for solar systems, etc.

I really doubt they'll even be doing phone numbers, though.

Not the poster who you are replying to, but from the references he gave, I assume he was more or less saying the same as you.

In meditation what you want is to become aware of your feelings/emotions/sensations to a level where you can then very consciously choose what to do when something happens, instead of triggering a knee-jerk reaction.
Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a product that our team (https://www.sanctuary.computer) built, and has been using for the past 18 months or so. It's an implementation of pre-rendering that comes integrated tightly with a global CDN layer to ensure that your users receive rendered pages, lightning fast, regardless of where in the world they are.

We built this out of frustration with existing solutions for SSR. Nuxt, Next.js & Gatsby have become heavy handed over the years, making it really hard to change platforms, and usually come with a vendor lockin - you end up integrating your framework so tightly with the hosting provider that you're stuck!

Spirit Fish has no opinions about where you host your assets, and what tools you use. Instead, it sits between your raw assets and DNS, runs your site in serverless Chrome, and applies a bunch of optimizations and routing normalizations against the rendered result to produce optimized content every time. It takes minutes to setup, doesn't require code changes, and usually doubles your Google Lighthouse score in the process.

Thanks everyone! Please let us know what you think!
Oh cool, thanks for commenting here. This is off-topic but I had a question from a post a few days back about google drive dropping unlimited storage. Someone mentioned that the economics just don't work long-term due to people who abuse it. How does this apply to Backblaze's unlimited backup service?
It's not a great default, but you can disable these by clicking the gear icon in the top-right of the new tab page and turning off "Snippets".
In my experience, on many (most?) sites, ads are by far the biggest performance issue, dwarfing any differences in rendering. I can remove those with FF but not Chrome, so they made that decision quite easy for me.

This. The US's biggest future threat isn't having its military production choked off in a conflict. It's having its military complex become irrelevant as the world moves towards a model where money and consumer technology become the main avenues for influence and control, and where the moment the US tries to flex its military muscle it gets put on a decades-long blacklist by members of the global economy for starting a mess.
Still no tap or pinch to zoom on Mac, I really want to use FF, but the lack of basic feature parity to Safari/Google on usability issue is astounding. I don't care about picture-in-picture, I just want basic trackpad support.
What exactly requires time sync? I think it's mainly stuff like inter-cell handover, MIMO with multiple cells streaming downlink to a single phone, these kind of things. It should work as long as the base stations are synced well -- no matter what reference. Or they just drop the features that require good sync.

My issue with Arendt is that she's almost uncritically a defender of American-republicanism as opposed to European attempts at it. I'm not sure that the American Revolution was as uniquely awesome as she claims it was. I think that it's just as possible that it could have ended up with extreme totalitarianism much as the french one did, had things gone only slightly differently.

Beyond being an overzealous fan of the USA (ironically on the grounds that it forces plurality as opposed to radicalism even though recent politics is slowly eroding this arguments). She also was pretty fking Racist, and while this may be hard for her fans to imagine, the quotes were pretty obvious when I was reading her works.

‘The right to free association, and therefore to discrimination, has greater validity than the principle of equality,” the context is for arguing in support of segregation in the US South - https://www.normfriesen.info/forgotten/little_rock1.pdf

"To force parents to send their children to an integrated school ) against their will means to deprive them of rights which clearly belong to them in all free societies-the private right over their children and the social right to free association. " - end of that same article!

Honestly, I like a lot of her writings but she was very flawed.
You're right - I spoke loosely. I still believe my comments apply if you consider the larger bundle that Google is offering and the terms that come with it, plus the fact that they are leveraging their capital to block competitor app stores from even appearing on the home screen or being installed.
Because the initial price would be steep. Let's say you spend $70 dollars on shoes and they last 2 years, so that's $350 for 10 years. It would be hard to design a single pair of shoes, especially at the beginning, at lasts 10 years. The goal would be to replace that pair after 5 years.

No one would pay $350 for a pair of shoes from an unknown company, but if I'd offer them for $3/month it's a different story.
SSDs have such an orderly and predictable failure regime that I doubt a quarterly reliability report would be of interest to anyone.

> So, while far from perfect, they work. Emotions and instinct kept most of our ancestors and most of the currently living animals both alive and thriving.

It's not just that they work; they matter in and of themselves. For example, it may literally be true that I'm more likely to die from falling furniture than from terrorism, but the fact that I fear terrorism more than falling furniture is relevant on its own terms. The emotions we feel about something like terrorism are real. They have a direct impact on quality of life. And you're not just going to reason people out of them. You can read me the statistics every morning, but my relative fear levels aren't likely to change.

This doesn't mean we shouldn't be educated or that we shouldn't make an effort to control our emotions; it's just to say that the emotions are real and it's ridiculous to dismiss them as irrelevant.
Undefined behavior on rust isn’t anything new, there’s even a section in the book about it. https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/reference/behavior-considered... The issue referenced happens in an unsafe code block, see this patch. https://github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam/pull/533/commits/b... There is no promise that Rust protects programmers from making mistakes in code marked as unsafe.

There's pretty reasonable odds that Trump literally murdered Solemani because Soleimani was constantly owning him on Twitter (or more accurately, that Trump said yes to the same set of belligerent Iran war hawks he normally says no to because he recognized the name from Twitter.)

The Incomplete Business Plan
Note: once upon a time, Intel's fab strategy involved new fabs making CPU's (x86) for a couple years, then being repurposed for memory. This meant that their memory fabs were practically free (i.e. they were building them for CPU business anyway), which helped them compete on price in memory.

I'm sure they still find some use for their no-longer-brand-new fabs, but this kind of examination of each business line in isolation doesn't take into account synergies like that. I can easily imagine Intel doing one "makes good business sense" decision after another, until they are no longer able to manufacture competitively at all.

Oh, wait, maybe that already happened a couple years ago...

You are focusing too much on the war aspect instead of what happens at home.

What happens to companies like Apple and nVidia when for whatever reason they can no longer manufacture in China. Apple luckily has a rainy day fund to fund itself until heat death of the universe, but other companies may not be so lucky.

I’m sure it would take decades at this point to develop the talent, infrastructure and scale in manufacturing that China currently has

You aren't wrong, but I do think it's worth pointing out that Red Hat writes a metric ton of FOSS code also which it contributes upstream (or the upstream is entirely RH owned/controlled).

For example, Red Hat is the number two contributor to Kubernetes (behind Google). Red Hat extends K8s with OpenShift which makes K8s a PaaS, and that is also open source and freely available as OKD[1]. RH doesn't get paid directly for that work but funds it with support contracts (which in turn enable landing more support contracts).

I know that doesn't contradict what you said, I just don't want to leave a reader with the impression that RH just tacks on a support contract and makes some money. RH does a huge amount of dev on it too.

Do you have any examples of a people who have pushed “beyond limits” and ended up in a bad place in the end? Not trying to be cheeky but honestly curious.

I always hear this argument of survivorship bias, and it sounds very reasonable at first. But then when I think some more and pair it with my real world experience, I can think of very few people who have pursued ambitious goal over a sustained period of time and truly ended up in a bad places in the end.

Sure they might fail to reach a specific goal, but it seems that in the pursuit of that goal (if it’s something ambitious & useful) it is hard not to pick up knowledge, skills and other assets that you can leverage in some way in the end.

On the contrary I can think of of countless of people who have done “normal things” and have ended up in really bad places. Not that they have dropped dead all of a sudden but just seem really discontented and depressed with their lives.
Flink uses highwatermarks like google's dataflow and is based on (I think) the original Millwheel paper.

The alternative to all this nonsense is to just throw everything into clickhouse and build materialized views! The drawback is you can't do complex joins, but for 90% of use-cases, clickhouse materialized views work swimmingly.
The organization can’t do anything about visitors who are testing them with secret little rules about when they will withhold business. More typical power users are able to just ignore support options they don’t want to use and use the product.

I like the WW2 story as well, but when chat increases total interactions and conversions, it’s hard to make a case for survivorship bias.
If reliability is a concern, you could still put them in a RAID array.

What percent of "digital goods" purchases is that? Because it's definitely not 60%. Defining a category like "app purchases" seems extremely narrow and arbitrary - a way to construct a product category that you can then say Apple is dominant in. What's the difference between the "app" Fornite and Fortnite on the Xbox One and why should they be treated as different product categories for the purposes of measuring market share?
> Anyone who can determine the secret needed to break the encryption will gain full access

Without collections just having the secret key[s] won't help you much. I don't like the idea of a backdoor as much as anybody else, but this notion that you merely have to have a key to access everything is strictly false.

This may only be true specifically for systems that allow anybody (or some broad set of untrusted people) to see other people's encrypted data. For most architectures backdoored E2EE is still more secure than no encryption. And obviously if there was a backdoor people wouldn't use/design systems that allow for easy collections.
Ok, I've updated to see for myself. The 'advert' is in the start up page we see upon every update. It's as much of an imposition upon my browser experience as a welcome page in any application, and because my hand is already hovering over Ctrl+W, it's gone before I even got a chance to care.

I just don't get the irritation here.

My web browser is my single-most used application and I've never paid Firefox a bean for it. If they want to promote an extension to their service that they presumably feel is relevant to a percentage of their userbase, then they should go for it - even if the likes of you or I don't really care for it.

The Mr. Robot promotion was a screw up, no denying it.
Wix has a responsive layout from what I've seen as a casual maintainer of a rather large Wix site, which was originally built by a non-coder. Maybe it was part of the template he used, but a row of 3 images on Desktop automatically becomes a column of 3 images on mobile, and the top menu turns into a hamburger. You can also switch to mobile mode while editing to adjust the layout of the mobile version.
Who said anything about bundle size?

There's already a "browser platform framework", it's standard, built into your browser and very fast.

Trying to re-implement the browser inside the browser using Javascript is a recipe for disaster. (Indeed: witness the "modern" web.)

I get that something more enterprisey-feeling with more knobs for programming in the large is more agreeable to the assembly-line programmer in large IT shops, but if you want your browser apps to act nice you'll have to suck it up and program natively without the overhead of a framework.
Is the address bar still gross and giant?

> My logic makes perfect sense from my economic point of view. I'm a neoliberal economist

Naming your particular ideological bent does not make your logic any more convincing.

My understanding was that self-identifying "neoliberals" believed in data-driven policy. As a data engineer, I'm telling you that the causal assumptions you are making are fundamentally faulty. Perhaps they align better with your ideological view, but that doesn't mean it makes "perfect sense."

How is PDF "machine hostile" ? It's well documented and trivial to extract text from (ie. pdftotext).
Note that having a functional monopoly through simply being popular is not illegal, it's practices which unfairly protect or exploit that market power that can be illegal.

The article goes into some candidates for activities that might be judged abuses, such as buying the default search slot on iPhones. Another might be unfairly promoting Google properties, and artificially burying competitors in search results. Another area that might be looked at is Google providing various free services such as Gmail and Google Docs, essentially subsidised by search revenue, in order to squeeze out competitors from possible revenue streams.

Having said that, this is mostly a shakedown. If Google would just set up a PAC and cough up I'm sure this will all just go away.
I think that's more the product of VC culture; as a founder you're in a constant case of "selling your company" which in most cases is also selling yourself to people, i.e. investing in a startup is tantamount to investing in the person in the early stages. I haven't seen this mentality nearly as much in folks that are bootstrapping without the "extreme growth" required by VCs.

And, although PG is in the Silicon Valley bubble (where only cool things happen, and it's the hub of cool in tech, duh), the advice he has is fairly general. In the board game creator community there's a lot of advice on making things that fail and making things that don't sell "for the fun of making the thing," because let's face it... most of your shit doesn't sell and never has any market value, but that doesn't make it any less useful or instructive.

TL;DR: Being okay with "failure" is a major part of any profession or hobby, and isn't intrinsic to Silicon Valley or VC backed startups...
