Yes I thought of that for my analytics SaaS (to calculate weekly reports), the issue is that the image has to be decrypted on the Docker host before execution, which requires it having access to the key somehow, breaking the end-to-end encryption promise (ie: "we have no way to access your data").

This could be mitigated by having that worker host self-hosted by your clients, it depends how practical that might be.
Back when I had Facebook, it was just RSS for me. I wasn't a member of many groups, and I realized I mostly followed organizations and entities. Well, I also followed people, but they were all reluctant social media users. They didn't post, so I found no value in Facebook any longer. It was easy for me to leave.

I un-followed everyone on Twitter some-time ago and set up TweetDelete to delete all my tweets after 2 weeks. I started re-following select accounts on Twitter, and it's not that many. In fact, I frequently find no new content on Twitter, so I am free to ignore it for a while.

I also found that I unfollow any accounts from humans that post too often. Anyone who's sitting on Twitter all day... I don't want to follow. Not very often is it valuable. Even the reasonable constant-posters, they're just jacked into their twitter-sphere. I don't need that. It's a weird thing, to have a job and crank out 20-40 tweets/day.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPER CONTINUITY. Yes, you want your code as good as possible, your docs as good as possible, your knowledge transfer as good as possible. But there is ultimately no substitute!

Domain knowledge matters, and takes years to develop. Familiarity with the codebase matters, and in a complex and changing codebase is a process that is never complete. Having access to the people who wrote the things in the first place matters.

These facts are often neglected in a world where developers are treated like swappable commodities, and it's considered normal to job hop frequently.

Organizations that treat developers well and give them paths of advancement/reward within the organization to encourage developers to stick around for a while will reap benefits.

Recently switched back to Firefox (Nightly) from being an early Chrome adopter. Really haven't found any issues compared to Chrome. Performance is supposedly worse, but nothing I have been able to notice in my workflow.

Not sure if it's this update or the last, but the added the ability to show the bookmark bar ONLY on the new tab screen ala Chrome's behavior. I can't stand bookmarks as a side panel like the old FF behavior, and not a fan of tree style tabs. Having my bookmark folders on the new screen has been great.
Hmm, I suppose this is useful for super large orgs? I feel managing the IAM policies around this is pretty much the same level of complexity as managing access to a bastion host to open a ssh tunnel through.

I grew up there, and still have nostalgia for it. I miss the nature and seasons, I remember fall being beautiful. I miss the history that could be found and the unique architecture of the old buildings you could find downtown.

But I would not move back, the cost of living is expensive, and the state has not been doing well financially. I think if I were to move again it would be to Washington, I love rainy weather.

"HP and Oracle don’t exactly represent the heart of Silicon Valley today and what makes it special/unique. I actually think zombie corporations like Oracle,"

This sentiment is problematic. Oracle has 130 000 employees and $40B in revenue. That's massive.

They are a tech company, not a media company like FB.

They are a lynchpin, just because 'we don't like them' doesn't make them 'not' that.

It's like Burning Man: everyone has their view on 'what it is' but really they mean to say 'what it ought to be'. What it is ... is more objective.

Oracle and companies like them are a huge part of what the SV is, full stop.

It's 'mostly' bad for SV to be losing Oracle.

The 'Bay Exit' story is probably overblown, but it's also very real, and less to do with 'leavers' than the fact it's just easier to do things elsewhere in the first place, at least for some kind of companies.
I find that AWS chose the same name as GCP for this tool hilarious.

Nonetheless, excited to see it -- it's something that I've complained about with AWS since using Google's CloudShell. It also continues us down the path to easy Ops-type work on an iPad (even though you can already have an EC2 instance and use Prompt to access it, being able to have a shell without needing to provision and EC2 instance is chefs kiss).
Maybe a browser extension with limited permissions? Say the tool looks at Slack and counts how often you use the ROFL emoji. The extension could be granted access to *.slack.com but no other domains.
I dread the companies that will mandate this, no local environment…

(and I know, GCP and Azure had this for quite some time now)
We rotate the keys whenever someone joins or leaves, although the mechanism is more efficient when someone joins than one someone leaves.

Please consider writing your scripts in POSIX sh instead of bash. The spec is here, it's pretty easy to understand and use:

Most of your scripts are probably already 90% POSIX compatible and could bridge the gap with minor modifications.
Are those the only complaints with it? Those actions for the shortcuts you mentioned seem pretty standard so it might be worth adjusting to them and figuring out how to work around it in whatever software uses different responses.

You could also look into Karabiner (https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/) to create some custom keybindings. I've used it to rebind capslock to act as a modifier so that capslock + 3 = start of line, capslock + 4 = end of line, + hjkl = left, down, up, right, etc. Nice way to get consistent behavior without worrying about what binds a particular piece of software has defined
Sounds like a great way to get your IMEI blacklisted by the carrier (and drop/miss calls a lot), and would not really stop them from triangulating your position (because you still have to be physically in range of all the towers, and would still be a determinable distance from them, being that distance is calculated using timing).

Cellular modem firmwares are also generally pretty closely guarded and not flashable.

These companies leaving for Texas will not have a negative impact on the Bay Area, but it will have a positive impact on Texas.

One of the things I didn't see mentioned in the comments here is the contribution of immigrants in Bay Area tech scene. And CA, with Bay Area in particular is very friendly to immigrants from all over the world. A very large percentage of those will never move to Texas, well unless this migration over the next few decades causes Texas to change its character.

I think that's strong. It will generally reflect perceived value, which is often caused by skill level and worth-based factors.

> IMO the more conservative and likely more effective solution is better parental control, requiring approval for IAP by default (not sure how you implement that on devices not specifically set up as kids’ devices though).

If I’m remembering correctly, that is the default if you properly set it up as a kids account. Better literature is definitely needed about setting up an account for kids, perhaps a registration step that just asks “is this a kid or adult account.”
Very exciting for experienced developers missing this from other languages, but I predict the growing spec of Python is leading it away from the "my first language" crowd in future.

I'm not a PHP developer! And you have therefore made my point repeatedly. You have come to believe something about me in total ignorance.

Why don't you provide me with some non-fiction? I've asked repeatedly if you could delineate what a "tool that allows you to effectively think through problems" might look like, but the only answer I have received so far is "I don't have to". Very convincing!

Of course we both know that you won't because doing so would move the concept out of your head (where it is just a prop) into this discussion where, inevitably, it will be shown to be insufficient to your argument. You need to hold onto it because it is the only straw you have left. I understand your unwillingness to be made a fool. You are a poker player who insists they have won the hand, but refuses to show their cards. Unfortunately I'm calling your bluff!

I've had you nailed down on this since your very first comment and here we are, days later, and you have yet to substantiate your claim beyond "I believe it to be true". A true work of cognitive genius! Or is it dissonance? It's always interesting to see which of my thoughts garner a response. I'll take a page out of your playbook and make a prediction myself:

A) You will continue to avoid to substantiate your claim and focus on something else entirely.

B) You will substantiate your claim by providing only criteria to which PHP does not meet (e.g. "multi-threaded") without providing any information as to how those criteria support your premise (essentially arguing "not PHP" in more words).

C) You will not respond at all.

At this point I think you are right. The answer is C! Sometimes you are overmatched and it's best to just avoid the interaction. It's healthier that way. Good luck!
Building a PGP encryption tool based on OpenPGP.js
You’re mixing a lot of numbers there.

Apple makes about 60 billion a year in the profit. The 10 billion they get from Google constitutes 16% of their annual profit. That’s significant!

Apple trades at a 37x P/E ratio. An additional $20B profit could be worth about an additional $760 billion in market cap. You can’t dismiss 10 billion in pure profit because their market cap. Those numbers are directly related and far closer in meaning than you give credit.
In my experience they will do both, or however many ways they think work.

Is anyone else worried Firefox on Android is becoming increasingly unusable? How well supported is it my Mozilla I wonder.

I often find pages render as blank pages until I refresh, and scrolling will often hang for multiple seconds. I was playing "Jackbox Games" (which is played via the web and PC), and I found those of us on Firefox found the text boxes were broken. Just downloading PDFs was broken for several weeks, and the official advice was to switch to the beta version of Firefox for Android.
As a developer, if you do not collect information, compliance is trivial.

Go to AppStoreConnect for your App, see "App Privacy" on the sidebar, "get started", tell it you don't collect data. And you are done.

Edit: Doh! And also notice the blue "Publish" button in the upper right. Press that and get threatened. Then your data is ready. Otherwise when you go to push your update it will tell you to go fill in the App Privacy data.

The next time you upload you will have a label.
The EU should require these operators to extract the infrastructure business part and then that new company should have to be required to accept any payment provider that meets legal requirements on the same terms as any other provider (including VISA or MC). It is the only way to bring free market to that space (someone may take that as an irony, but true free market capitalism doesn't exist, exactly for the reasons like this)
The Covid-19 pandemic ruined time in 2020
I hate to nitpick, but I think it's more interesting to think about it as it actually is. You mentioned having the "frame" ready, but there is no frame.

The platform has produced some masterpieces of creativity under limitations. You have 128 bytes of RAM to work with (for all non-register variables and stack) and slavish timing requirements.

The timing is nightmarish because you're actually controlling the painting of each scanline as the raster sweeps across and down the screen. The design of an Atari 2600 game's "kernel" (as they're called) is one where timing and cycle counting dominates.

Game logic has to sit in specific points in time where the video raster isn't painting (horizontal and vertical blanking intervals). When the raster is sweeping across the phosphors your code is concerned primarily with manipulating the registers of the Television Interface Adapter (TIA) chip to produce the desired video output. There are some "tricks" the TIA can perform itself (mirroring the playfield output across a vertical center line, etc) that can be used to free up some cycles. Creative use of the 5 movable objects (two "player" sprites, two "missile" sprites, and a "ball" sprite) can be used to make more detailed graphics than would be possible with the playfield alone (which has a fairly coarse resolution).

But there there are people that intentionally bypass paywalls. Almost every article posted on HN behind a paywall has a user “neonate” who posts a paywall circumventing link. Then we collectively complain about advertising and paywalls. There is a large number of people that seem to think that all content should be free and that the people creating it are somehow a charity. I am ok with paywalls, but I don’t like to subsidize free riders. Apple News+ as a concept is a pretty good one, hopefully we can see more innovation in that sort of model.

SD cards

People who are running old computers like the Apple ][, C-64 or close replicas are most likely to have given up on the floppy drive since it is an electromechanical contraption that is a hassle to keep running.

The electrical interface of an SD card is so simple that you can make your own SD card controller for an Apple ][ that is simpler than Wozinak's controller on a single FPGA chip with enough spare capacity for the rest of the Apple ][.

Later models of the HP48 line of calculators went to SD cards instead of proprietary memory cards and went from having 512K cards to having 2GB cards. Portable game consoles from Sony and Nintendo have been using game cartridges based on SD electrical interface since at least the GBA and the Vita.
I took the lowest number I could find.

Double how bad it is for the Bay Area then relative to Austin.

Property taxes in Austin (not to mention how cheap Houston, Dallas are) are not even as expensive as the Bay Area. That's not even considering income taxes or no capital gains.

I use some of the techniques as offsite "well, maybe it's with that cloud storage?" disaster recovery backup options.

I have used Backblaze, and was storing 16TB there, and that was $50/month.

I did a simple envelope calculation, decided I could either hand-roll a offsite system with 2x consumer harddrives, or look for other options.

I have 28TB backed up with another provider now.

Why haven't I tried either AWS or Azure cold-tier storage?

I have maybe 2 hours a month where I can spend looking into solutions to my offsite backup situation, and I am somewhat concerned that I could mess up the AWS solution and cost myself thousands of dollars. This coupled with a lack of time, significant competing concerns (keeping a job during a global pandemic job market; work-load; personal life), and "eh, I'll get to it"-laziness, means I have to put this on the back burner.

If you handed me a simple solution using rclone, zfs send, btrfs-send, or a pre-canned "this is what it would cost" Bacula approach, I would move to it.
This is like saying that variable name scoping is a semantic convention on top of the C language grammar and that a lexer can't really implement it. In the case of C, it turns out that the lexer must implement it. In the case of XML, processing name spaces directives during lexing is the right thing to do in nearly all cases. But it's not what these SAML libraries needed.
"I totally agree and I think property taxes are way more fair and equitable for a society than income taxes."

Until you retire and no longer can pay the tax and are kicked out of your home.

Logically, it makes more sense to tax people who are actually making money (income and capital gains) since that means they actually have money. Taxing people on a fundamental need (shelter) could potentially increase homelessness, especially if you hit a rough time economically like with the pandemic.

"Income taxes disincentivize people from earning more"

I don't see how flat or even marginal income taxes disincentivize people from making more money.

Statistical Approaches for Performance Analysis
“Apple sent the data of over 30,000 users to the US government last year without a warrant or probable cause”

When you say ‘the data’ - what do you mean?

Taken at face value it sounds like you are saying all of the data Apple has relating to this user, but that doesn’t sound right to me. Is it all of the data? If not, what data was actually provided?

When you say: “without a warrant or probable cause”, you make it sound as though Apple wasn’t legally compelled to do this.

Is this true?
I guess my perspective is that end-user programming has to be easily discoverable and doable by end-users, and provide some method of progression from simple tasks up to more complicated ones (a perspective shared by the article authors). It’s not the visual affordance of the context menu that I think is good, it’s the progressiveness and discoverability. Sticking a manual in someone’s face is very different to them choosing to ask a certain UI element “what else can be done?”

Of course punching in some emacs lisp qualifies as end-user programming, I’m just don’t think it will be a kind of programming accessible or available to the majority of end-users of computers.

The uncertainty principle is is the key concept that I think is relevant here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle#Harmonic...

A Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT/FFT) balances frequency vs time resolution based upon its parameterization. In this application, I think that frequency differentiation is less important than time differentiation for events. To get an advantage from utilizing spectral analysis, I think that the STFT can be used with very small overlapping analysis windows. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-time_Fourier_transform) However, due to the importance of transients I would consider use of wavelet transforms instead (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelet_transform) since they can resolve temporal characteristics better than a DFT.
Please read more carefully. You have seen that infinitude of demands on American cable and network TV news. I specifically identify that medium as antithetical to the far left. American conservatives seem not to be able to differentiate e.g. Adam Schiff from Michael Parenti. No human capable of respiration is actually that stupid, so this tragic misunderstanding must be due to the ignorance that is carefully fostered by American news media firms.

The people who advocate censorship vote for all the same wars and inhuman abuses that you vote for. They're closer to your position than to mine. If they have anything to their credit, it is that they are less explicitly racist.
