Brave is interesting because some non-users have a complete misinformed idea of what people actually use it for. Brave is one of the best things to happen to the web and actually has a chance at saving the web.

Brave allows me to easily donate money to creators. I currently fund the internet to the tune of $10/month using Brave. Someday that will be $100/month.

Brave removes ads "pre-render" so it is the fastest experience one can get. Other ad-blockers remove them after they have already loaded via JavaScript. Brave does this natively.

Brave has features to let users watch ads and earn currency, I don't use that at all. But some do, and it is consensual and fine for them.

Brave has an option called "Private w/Tor" and that is what yabones is claiming that "its users fall for the VPN fallacy". Which may be true for a small percentage but yabones is making a sweeping generalization here by implying "all users", which is not even close to true. I don't even use Private w/Tor mode. I don't consider anything truly private on the web and nobody else should either.

Brave is one of the best things to happen to the web as the web has become swamped with tracking and ads. Brave does remove all those by default.
As a non-native English speaker, I'm always puzzled by Americans rhyming. How does this work? And why does wormhole monocle not?
Based on my own work experience with such firms, the revenue model is the same as any other contractor/specialist hired to do work--make a margin on every project you can, and keep searching and optimizing for projects that allow a comfortable margin above costs.

The only other model I've seen is to offer a canned solution that's customized for each customer, then charge an initial 'customization' fee and a monthly/yearly maintenance fee.
That would work then, but the price is still high for some people, so that would be a decent option for school districts that haven't been able to get all the Chromebooks they ordered. That's my district: They received a grant to buy Chromebooks, couldn't get all they needed.

I can imagine why the author could maybe want plausible deniability against potentially leaked or forged emails, but I definitely see DKIM and non-repudiation a feature. I suppose the caveat is that if DKIM private keys were stolen, fraudulent emails could be convincingly generated, but this isn't a normal concern for users of the big hosted webmail services.
He's not restricting GitHub from hosting it, he's just using an artifact of GitHub's implementation (or, well, a hypothetical GitHub implementation - I'm not sure GitHub actually blocks submodules that reference the relevant commit hash?) that happens to make GitHub refuse to host it.

GitHub is free to change their minds about the implementation and start accepting those commits again. That is, you, as a recipient of the code, are free to ask GitHub to host it, and to offer them a license under the terms of the GPL; GitHub is free to accept or to decline, same as if you sent me the code, I am free to host it on my personal website but I'm also free to not host it.

(It would feel more like violating the spirit if it, say, prevented you from uploading it to a GitLab instance you self-host... but since you self-host it, you could just patch out any suppression code, so that case can't come up.)
Yeah. BART was meant to be driverless so they could have many frequent trains (possibly with fewer cars) instead of infrequent 10-car trains.

There's no "mystery sauce". It's completely open-source.

Brave's completely open about its analytics, and they're designed specially to be privacy-preserving. (No, it's not some naive "anonymous identifier".)

Ask HN: How can I work with OG engineers?
I have recently joined a company that has been around for a while but is still in startup mode. The team is fairly entrenched in its ways and has a handful of engineers who are "super effective" because they built every thread of complexity.

Besides finding the work incredibly unfulfilling, I'm concerned that this entrenchment will prevent growth of the company in the mid to long term. I am also concerned that as a fairly senior person (and having held a senior position prior), will be unable to meet what I consider the correct level of effectiveness for someone working at that level.

Onboarding besides the basic company introductions was very thin. The OG's don't have a team building mindset. I think it's probably more of a nuisance to them and they expect information to flow through question polling and osmosis.

I want to find a way to become an effective contributor to this team and someone who can lead and contribute a wealth of knowledge, but I feel that the OG's have reached a knowledge escape velocity that I will never be able to catch up with. Suggestions?

I can't even say why I don't want to use it without being downvoted into oblivion. I'm sure there are many wonderful people who use and develop it without going out and being a nuisance, but the fans I encounter the most are horrible.

I am currently interning with a national laboratory but would like to keep my eye out for other opportunities, and there are some awesome employers here on HN. I will be graduating by the end of this year with a BS in Computer Science, and I worked as a web developer for over three years when I was younger. My current internship has given me experience in the Python, Java, and C/C++ languages, while allowing me to work with Docker, Ansible, Gitlab (w/ CI/CD), and other technologies, and I'm always willing to learn the stack necessary for a job.
Copying from another comment:

Well, a lot of reporting on the affiliate code situation partly mischaracterized what actually happened. There was an auto-complete suggestion that was auto-selecting when you pressed "enter", and it was fixed shortly thereafter. There is a blog post about it called "On Partner Referral Codes in Brave Suggested Sites".

That said, it does essentially the same thing Firefox does when you do a search on Firefox. Try right now: go into Firefox, type in a search in the URL bar, press enter, and you'll see it appends/"injects" a Firefox "affiliate code" as a query parameter so that Firefox gets a cut from Google. One salient difference is that Firefox's "affiliate code" is a vanity code (human readable: "?client=firefox-b-d"), so it isn't viscerally shocking.

If it read "?client=brave" like it does on Firefox, it's very likely no one would have ever cared!
I imagine the bit hacks are still useful for microcontroller applications though.
I was thinking the same thing. Using multicores and having a library ecosystem (through interop rather than conventional F#) should be a win. I don't have an idea what performance difference to expect but certainly closer to OCaml than Python even for single-core.
Absolutely, it's applied to everything from tens of thousands of RPCable routines to webapps backed by a handful of 'polyliths'.
Good. Hopefully mistakes like these happen with nuclear power plants, nuclear submarines, and these new nuclear reactors they plan on building.
The issue at hand is capacity. Free-flowing highway lanes move people at ~2000 people per hour per direction per lane, and the Seattle light rail has a capacity closer to ~30000 pphd. So light rail is 15x more space efficient than car travel; you might need to build a bridge, but you will generally need to build less bridge. Autonomous cars may improve road capacity but not 15x. More importantly, roads have a very noticeable capacity curve as they become congested and become less efficient; trains don't really get slower with crowding, they mostly just get more crowded inside.

And I don't know, I-90 is kind of a crapshoot (especially on weekdays) when it comes to congestion. Even worse, it's bad both ways, because you have both heavy inflows to jobs in Seattle and jobs at the various Eastside centers like Redmond and Bellevue. 520 is much better, but it's also tolled, which is also why I-90 is so much worse.
For sure, that's a factor that should be taken into account when deciding what to split and how. But monoliths always have completely unrelated things bunched up in a single codebase, storage etc etc etc.

Eg, in our case, there's simply no reason why we should have a single monolith service that has both our b2b partners user profiles and, I don't know, internal staff vacation hours?

They have nothing to do with each other, have vastly different load profiles, tolerance for failure etc etc.

Having played with SmartOS containers using linux compatibility (not docker). I will say this: Use native containers for that OS. The slight differences that you will find, will drive you up the wall. They will be esoteric and happen at the worst time.

And i should say I love SmartOS, it is a really cool bit of tech... I just love simplicity more, and a compatibility layer is never simple.

What also probably happened is that Facebook changed their algorithm to reduce organic growth to push businesses like this to spend more on ad money. They've been doing this for a few years now, and have been aggressively doing the same on Instagram.

Love or hate TikTok, the reason it's become so big is that their algorithm actually promotes organic growth instead of hindering it.

Stride | Senior Software Engineer, iOS | San Francisco, CA / Salt Lake City, UT / Remote (US-only)

At Stride we're working on a benefits suite for what we believe is an underserved community – freelance and gig economy workers. We want to create economic security for anyone who works for themselves. We offer an easy way for 1099 workers to apply for health/dental/vision coverage. We're also expanding to other spaces like tax and financial management, so as to make it financially accessible for anybody who juggles multiple gigs, or is just pursuing a dream on their own.

As a business, we sit on a unique position and have partnerships with a ton of giant companies who want to better serve their workforce. It's rare that a startup has a good mission and a good business, but here we are.

On the engineering side we use Swift, Node, Typescript, GraphQL, Postgres, Python, Scala/Akka and some cool machine learning models you're going to love hearing about. Your work will be feature-heavy, and you'll get to define the future of our app's architecture and infrastructure. You will grow naturally into our iOS Tech Lead.

We have our beautiful headquarters located in SOMA (San Francisco) close to South Park, and will be opening a new office in Salt Lake City once the pandemic ends. We also support and nurture remote workers from all over the United States. We offer fantastic benefits (after all, it's our product!) and you'll be surrounded by the most driven, smartest people I know. We have a supportive, productive culture that's respectful of your own personal time and well-being.

Anyplace that people want to live should build more housing of all shapes and sizes - and not artificially restrict housing options with zoning.
Actually I think there is a distinction to be made. Both Haskell and OCaml are strongly typed ML-family languages, and to some extent you'll find some overlap in community interests, trending toward the academic side. But Haskell tends to be used more for type theory research, whereas OCaml is far more popular for programming language research due to its popularity for writing compilers.

While I don't have internal insight to Jane Street, some of their talks and public information seems to support the idea that they are actually doing a lot of similar work to compiler development. They have stated that they tend to do a lot of symbolic logic and analysis, and they make it sound like they create DSLs that traders can more easily use to convey trading strategies.

So OCaml does really well at getting things done, but historically it has been within very narrow definition of the types of things to be done.
The FDA is necessarily conservative. Their recommendation is dated 01May2020.

As support for the OP protocol, they have a document collecting recent data on the use of ivermectin, dated 30Oct2020.

https://covid19criticalcare.com/flccc-ivermectin-summary/

The lead paragraphs are:

"Recently, a wave of negative results were published from trials on numerous COVID-19 therapies, essentially eliminating any role for remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, interferon, convalescent plasma, tocilizumab, and mono-clonal antibody therapy. One year on, the only therapy considered “proven” as an effective treatment in COVID-19 are the use of corticosteroids in patients with moderate to severe illness.

Since March 2020, our expert panel, the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (www.flccc.net) led by Professor Paul Mahatrik, has continuously reviewed the rapidly emerging basic science, translational, and clinical data in COVID-19 with the aim of ensuring that our MATH+ Hospital Treatment protocol both continuously evolves and stays current. As of October 28th, 2020, based on the increasing and recently reported data from a number of published and unpublished trials, we have concluded that the drug Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug with increasingly well-known anti-viral8–16 and anti-inflammatory properties has demonstrated profound activity against COVID-19. Based on these data, we have devised a new prophylaxis and early treatment protocol against COVID-19 which we have named the “I-MASK+” protocol which we believe may serve as a global solution to the pandemic. The evidence base in support of this conclusion shows that Ivermectin:

1. Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication, leading to absence of nearly all viral material by 48h in infected cell cultures.

2. Prevents transmission and development of COVID-19 disease in household members of infected patients.

3. Hastens recovery and prevents deterioration in patients with mild to moderate disease treated early after symptoms

4. Hastens recovery and avoidance of ICU admission and death in hospitalized patients.

5. Leads to striking reductions in case-fatality rates in regions with population-wide distribution and use."

This protocol is apparently being used extensively in South America with good results.

While Marik and The Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance may be jumping the gun here, it's worth reading the document I linked above.

Edit: I would also draw your attention to Fig. 3 in that doc - Haiti has been using Ivermectin to treat lymphatic filariasis on the national level. They have almost no COVID compared to the neighboring Dominican Republic (or the US).

The dispersal of bay area tech workers will be good for the country, if we can avoid breaking down in the immediate future.

Git commit hashes are indeed deterministic, though it depends on the inputs.

From StackOverflow [0]:

Git uses the following information to generate the sha-1:

* The source tree of the commit (which unravels to all the subtrees and blobs)

* The parent commit sha1

* The author info (with timestamp)

* The committer info (right, those are different!, also with timestamp)

* The commit message
