Chrome doesn't use online OCSP checking, and it's optional in Firefox. Both browsers support OCSP stapling, which doesn't violate privacy and has better failure modes, as well as certificate revocation lists.

Because online OCSP checks damage privacy and don't help much with security, browsers are moving away from them:

This is really thorough and nuanced work, and so many websites could benefit from this.

But oh my god, it’s so complex! I wish the platform (http/HTML/css) could support this natively without any need for javascript or tricks of any sort. Some of it looks like irreducible complexity: particularly “choosing a fallback font that closely matches the size and style of the eventual font”. The platform can’t do that for you. But surely a “sufficiently advanced” HTML/css will be just a little wiser and let you say, with one well placed keyword, “this is the font I want to use, but don’t wait for it, use it once it’s available and use this one in the meantime.”

(And I’m thinking that inlining the fonts as base64 encoded stuff might be more optimum and prevent stuff moving around. It’s such a tiny point, I don’t think engineers everywhere in the world should all have to spend effort on this.)
Thank you for the very in-depth reply!
We don't know, probably it doesn't. I was simply complaining about the lack of HLA correlations in the paper, which is suspicious. Probably they didn't type or impute HLA haplotypes.

My HLA-B27 example was actually a positive one. It gives you higher chances of a good outcome if infected by HIV.

Another paper, with a small sample size, claims HLA-B44 and C01 are susceptible [1].

I work with the Oxford vaccine group, and I am quite interested in this effect, including in vaccinated patients. It's pretty well known bad vaccine efficiency and side effects will correlate very strongly with HLA, and with thymic involution.

Sadly everything is quite chaotic at the minute and it's difficult to get samples and funding for these ideas. If we were more advanced, we would get be classifying vulnerable patients and asking them to shield according to HLA and immunoageing/dysfunction markers.

God fucking dammit I really thought it was a working proof of concept... No, it's a bunch of trivial speculation
Metal is used within the OS for all of its rendering.

So it's more a case of they built the API for themselves first and then made it available for developers.

They also have power consumption and mobile performance as being their highest priorities which may not align with Vulkans.
Sorry, I wasn’t very clear. The backups were of MySQL databases and we stored them for a period of time (it was in the Terms of Service). When I say “back end” or “backend” I mean internal servers, that didn’t directly take HTTP requests. This means everything from databases to backup hosts to other data stores to dashboards. “Front end” means web servers that did take HTTP requests and served facebook.com. PHP development at early Facebook was always focused on the latter, for good reason.
Still? What would have caused them to not want to maintain control of their platform?

All it does it make software (especially games) less likely to be ported to iOS/macOS. And they have to maintain a graphics API, which isn't a small task. How is that a good thing for them?

This isn't really something that helps or hinders locking consumers into their ecosystem.

I would be surprised if the graphics API layer had a particularly big impact on power usage. One of the stated goals of Vulkan is also to reduce CPU load when rendering.

Maintaining the Quality of Your App Easily by Using Huawei Open Testing Tool
I am currently reading "Sourcery" by Terry Pratchett. Your remark is literally one of the plot points of the story.
Thank you guys, you really helped me out a lot.
Isn't this just saying the exact same thing as the original article but with pedantic word games? A type checker includes a parser, a lexer, a syntax tree builder and the type checking itself is the specific grammar the author is looking for. Am I missing something?
iOS has no shortage of games, so that doesn't seem like a problem. And maintaining their own graphics API lets them fully integrate it into the rest of their hardware and software stack without the baggage that comes with a cross-platform standard.
They know people who can work from home will either pay it or push their companies to. A cynic might argue they would leave money on the table if they didn't do this.

Of course the kind and compassionate thing to do would not act in a predatory manner towards your customers, but I've given up hoping for that sort of thing from them.
Over time more things tend to get containerized/virtualized properly so these sorts of issues can be fixed.
The Pluto notebook for Julia does exactly the same. It creates dependencies between code cells and data automatically. If you change any data or code, that code ripples through through the rest of the notebook. So e.g. you could bind a slider to a variable and if that variable is used in a plot, dragging that slider will modify the plot in realtime.

Demonstration of Pluto.jl here:

> The so called “russian dossier “ ended up being complete fabrication

If you are referring to thing called the “Russia dossier” (it was about Russia, it wasn't Russian, or called Russian), no, it didn't “end up” being a complete fabrication.

Also, it's not anywhere close to the most solid evidence of the Russian influence campaign around the 2016 election.

> “Fsb rigged the election” is just birther movement of the left

No, it's not. “FSB rigged the election” is a Trumpist straw man to distract from the serious issues around the Russian interference effort and Trump campaign complicity in it, none of which is about rigging elections.
How is this apropos to my comment? I didn't say anyone was. The only way I can see how this might fit as a reply to my comment would be the implication that it's okay to throw accusations around, and accepting accusations as automatically true, just because the accusation is not of a crime. That's exactly what we shouldn't do. That's my point and I for one am not gonna start doing such anytime soon, and I also try to keep contact with people who do that at a minimum.

For that matter, I would love if you elaborated on how an accusation must surely mean that a wrongdoing actually happened instead of replying with uncharitable interpretations of my comments.
10 x Samsung 980 PRO SSDs (PCIe 4.0)

2 x ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 PCIe 4.0 X4 Expansion Card

When doing research, I was careful to buy only kit that can achieve full PCIe 4.0 speed and not some old PCIe 3.0 stuff that's "compatible with PCIe 4". This applies both to SSDs and expansion cards...

Edit: It's worth adding that your CPU(s)/mobo must have enough PCIe lanes when trying to get max throughput. 10 SSDs would need 40 PCIe lanes dedicated to them (many consumer CPUs/chipsets have 36 or 44 and some lanes are used for other stuff! The new AMD ThreadRipper PRO WX has 128 :-)
Could you point the interview?
As a cancer survivor, I can confirm the absolutely amazing, life-changing effect that psilocybin had on my depression. After cancer, it gets really difficult to "reintegrate" with society. Most conversations sound absolutely pointless, I felt like there was less grip surface between the concept of me and almost everyone. The depressions after cancer are commonplace, and mine were strong, too. The difference in depression recurrence and intensity after a single 3g dose of psilocybe cubensis was spectacular. After a couple of months I started on psilocybin micro doses and, so far, along with hormone replacement therapy (I lost a testicle to cancer), I'm finally feeling OK. Much better than OK. :D

Playing devils advocate here. My power goes out probably three times per year. Water stopped working in my building twice this year. I lost my physical house key last year. My WiFi has issues probably once a quarter and needs to be restarted. My brand new vehicle (automobiles generally have the highest requirements for reliability AFAIK) wont shift into 1st gear (manual transmission) once every thousand miles.

I feel like this community especially, but we in tech tend to forget that everything fails. It is inevitable. We get all riled up about “iot this” and “I never use connected devices that” but honestly I feel like our digital reliability is just as high as the “analog” tooling so many of us proudly retreat to.

Shit fails. Once a month when it happens in a manner like this the HN community gets up in arms like we are the sole arbiters of reason when it comes to technology.

Downvote away :-)
That's awesome, thank you for sharing!

A lot of that is also simply momentum. Many people are utterly unaware of the alternatives outside the MS Office bubble. I have met so many people who thought the only program that exist for writing text is MS Word. Seriously. It is not even funny.

But that is how people often get trained early on. You get taught to use MS Word at school and other context and never get exposed to alternative tools or ways of doing things.

Here is a simple anecdote. Have on two occasions had long term Excel users get stuck on some task, looking for a solution. Then I ask them to use Apple Numbers. See if they can figure it out. Despite never having use it they figure out their task in no time.

My point is that MS Excel isn't even all that good of a spreadsheet application yet almost everybody use it despite better alternatives existing.
I think this is true to a certain extent. They'd rather have developers create UIs with Swift/ObjC, which tend to look and perform better on Mac.

i.e. it's probably more about fostering great UIs for the end customers rather than curbing Java altogether as a platform.
When you want to squeeze every bit of performance out of a system, you want to avoid doing system calls as much as possible. io_uring lets you check if some i/o is done by just checking a piece of memory, instead of using read, pool, or such.
Then you don't really know what has been going on with reviews. Some are legits of course. But more and more the bulk is paid humans from the other side of the world mastering their art for writing a review, with the tone of a local.

Why 2? I thought one process was forking off the other processes, not two.
Services that actually matter don't use this model. Over an appropriate time period AWS availability is exemplary.

However do note. Avoid us-east-1 if at all possible. Understand that despite the documentation, service control planes do not operate in isolation between availability zones. If you need higher uptime you need to have cross regional deployments. When AWS says a service is global, it actually means us-east-1 :)
It's a fair point, and you're right. But there's one difference: when your power goes out, it affects your area. Amazon's server outage covers a much larger area. I won't claim "the whole world," since server outages often aren't global, but sometimes they are.
2^5 = 32

I guess it is possibly to 32x your salary in 10 years, but that is going to be an outlier. Especially if you have to embrace risk to achieve it. By definition, it is a risky venture, so his points may suffer from survivorship bias.
Not a big fan of this account. It's gone political and completely anti-progress. They systematically denigrate any kind of IoT. I'm not anti-IoT per se, I think most IoT is bad but on the other hand I recognize that it can be pretty useful in many cases and once the tech become more stable it will get better.

What this account is doing is like systematically making fun of all the early flying machines that failed in grotesque ways, until they started working. We shouldn't systematically attack and ridicule any attempt to innovate.
I have a neutral opinion on Psilocybin in general, but beware the selection bias in internet comment sections. Positive comments get upvoted and praised, negative experiences get dismissed with a mix of victim blaming (usually "set and setting" comments) or explained away as exacerbating pre-existing underlying conditions. Eventually those with bad experiences give up on participating in discussions.

It does appear that Psilocybin has some therapeutic potential, but all of the good studies are performed in conjunction with professional-guided therapy sessions. DIY unguided experimentation is a different animal and shouldn't be confused with what's being reported in studies.
This is the method I like to use as an interviewer.

But asking about work projects specifically can be tricky, since you have to avoid any proprietary bits, to avoid any possible appearance of IP taint.

If they don't have open source projects to dig into, hypothetical plausible system problems (not leetcode exercises, nor puzzles) are an option.

You still have to watch out for people who know a lot of the right engineering things to say, and/or have done prep memorizing and drilling, rather than speaking from experience. (Example from one of the links in this thread, which had an example of a repetition flash card app, saying that UDP is connectionless. I don't know what good purpose would be served by having that info on a flash card for interview prep, other than to help someone who knows absolutely nothing about it to bluff their way through an interview that asks about it.)
not sure what you mean by "apps" but I am talking back-end mostly
two schools of thought:

1. It's fine, when you buy a smart or connected device, you want the extra features, and you consciously accept that connection issues will impact your products. This is similar to the way electricity issues will impact products that require electricity, and products like a kettle can be offered in electrical and non-electrical versions.

2. It's not fine, it is not clear that internet/service issues will impact your product, and the more people buy these the more it'll become a thing, impacting everybody else. Products that can afford it (like a doorbell) should be made to work even when services are down.
I was a bit upset when I discovered that I needed to connect my new Bose speaker to internet just to configure it, but at least it is usable without internet, so I blacklisted it in my router.

HomeKit compatibility is also a reasonable proxy; that's because HomeKit requires that a device operate without a manufacturer's service, and expose local APIs that your iDev can use.

The fact that so many manufacturers are happy to certify with Alexa and Google, but not HomeKit, tells me a bit about their business models.

I agree with you still though.
To extend that slightly: it's a low-throughput, low-power mesh network that doesn't need the smarts or power draw of Wifi. Because it needs an in-home hub anyway, it's unlikely to die without Internet access, and devices on the standard have at least some level of basic inter-operability.

> have lasted several decades, and will likely continue functioning for many more

Well yes - Light switches made in 1900 will probably still work today, but you obviously don't have the features of IoT like toggling it from across the house or turning on multiple light [switches] at once. There's always a trade-off and people seem to want to pay for the convenience, even if it means replacing it in as short as 5-10 years.
> You're not submitting data to him, so no benefit to protect you there.

This is a common misconception. If a page is using http, an attacker could add a sign-up form, a login form, a payment form, a malware download etc. or anything they want to the page to steal entered data or just redirect you to another malicious site, anything they want.
Plus, you can currently solve a blackout with a generator. Or a backup internet connection in case of your ISP being down. Sounds like neither would solve an issue with these sorts of devices requiring remote servers to be online.
Arcan 0.6 – ‘M’ – Start Networking
It's not a question of perfect, it's a question of __unnecessary__ fragility/vulnerability. We all rely on electricity because the alternative is far more difficult. We drive despite the costs and problems because most places in the US have been designed entirely around driving and it's very difficult to survive otherwise.

Does my fridge actually need to talk to the internet? Do my lightbulbs? Are the gains from having an addressable coffee maker worth the downsides when things break (or are broken due to security being an afterthought at best) over having a coffee maker that's just a coffee maker?

It's not any different than any other code all of us write on a weekly basis, when you start tacking on unnecessary features and increasing the complexity you will inevitably compromise the stability and simplicity of the features it must have to do its job. It's why the Unix philosophy exists to begin with.
For the sake of not sounding just like I’m complaining, and to actually look for more discussion: do you disagree with the regularity and nature of outages being a constant in our lives, and that a server farm somewhere is just another dimension to the scenario we all accept as normal?

Do you think that big tech and any iot “utility provider” should be held to a higher standard? (Probably IMO)
