Yes. The work that Intel has done on Kata Containers is great. It seems like AWS, Fly.io, and others are leveraging Firecracker. AWS delivering bare metal machines has been a pretty big game changer in the cloud space.

I'm not sure how much easier to deal with the MicroVM model would be. I think it would be great to add the additional layer of security that gVisor and Co have. There's also benefits of being able o run a special kernel per workload. On the other hand, you do gain some complexity by having to run a separate kernel per workload, and having to inject all the sidecars (SSH, secret manager, etc..) into the VM.

From a performance perspective, there's a lot of unknowns. Up until relatively recently, virtfs did not exist, so you had to carve off a block device. You can't do things like share a page cache and dedupe inodes and dentries AFAIK with MicroVMs. Then, on top of that, there are still security boundaries we need to enforce, like network filtering. If you do this with VMs, you need to do it at the packet layer versus the connection layer, which is much more expensive. There are others...

Lastly, it's a question of maturity. "full blown" VMs are very mature. On the other hand, containers have been maturing for upwards of a decade now. We'll probably explore MicroVMs further in the future, but for now, Linux containers are the tool of choice.

On a real note, how do you feel about doing the same for my last.fm that has data since 2007?
Maybe, but since we don't have currently good way to use our health data for health purposes, this might be good development. They will provide a way to sync which others will emulate and it will be one standard.

Should Google and others be regulated, oh yeah.
And the original blog post by Cellebrite does claim to have 'cracked' the encryption, doesn't it? So the BBC's headline isn't exactly inaccurate.
Show HN: Build An App That Books Vacations To The Moon
Hey everyone! Super pleased to share that I’ve created a FREE course to help you learn how to make Fullstack Serverless GraphQL Apps with Lambda, DynamoDB, Serverless, React and Vue.

Learning how to actually ship a product using these technologies was an absolute nightmare. For the past two years I would spend time writing boilerplates and shipping product with them. So I made this course as an up-to-date reference of how to use them all. I also added more sprinkles by trying to explore some advanced Vue patterns and using Apollo Local State as a replacement for Redux. This course also adds to the little Vue Apollo Open Source projects that are out there

What I've learnt most from this project and working with GraphQL for the past two years is that if you learn which scenarios call for GraphQL and REST, it will make you a more versatile engineer. However this is all opinionated and the usage of these technologies makes my life as an engineer more comfortable to bring value to the customers I serve.
Last year they pushed some "simple" fixes fast and broke quite a few older VB applications. That was quite a fun day at my office when some customers couldn't work anymore...
As a direct fork, it’s currently 2282 commits ahead, 586 commits behind your uBlock. That amounts to about the commits since uBlock 1.29.0 - which is exactly the version they’re claiming to use.

But yes, who knows what they’ve changed.
I have a software engineering degree and I don't think you should call yourself a software engineer until you've actually worked in that capacity on actual projects for a while. You could ace the degree but not have the experience to deliver real projects until you have practice.

Besides that, a lot of job titles are arbitrary, made up and not consistent between companies. Call yourself what you think you're qualified to do and want to do. Same if you're freelance or a consultant, because nobody is going to give you a title.
I'd recommend Signal[0] as an alternative. It's fully Open-Source (including the backend) and their crypto is public and independently verified[1][2][3]...

If the conditions were better than that of the "free" people, then yes.

Hell actual slaves lost their longterm food and shelter prospects when they were freed and were cast out into "free" world (some did thrive though)
> Hunting for music is really fun!

I mean, maybe. I only listen to music when I'm a) driving; b) working. Neither are times I'm particularly interested in searching for new bands to listen to, so I'm going to end up relying on my streaming service's recommendation engine.
> the BBC ran a story with the factually untrue headline, “Cellebrite claimed to have cracked chat app’s encryption.” This is false

The headline is actually true. Cellebrite did claim that after all. Whether or not it Cellebrite is lying is another story. Although it was pathetic of them to not reach out of Moxie. It only shows the quality of the mainstream media.
Influencers are just people that have a sizable fan base, that they earned fair and square. Now, what they choose to do with that fan base, is another story. Just like a startup can lose its soul when bringing in VC money, an influencer can lose their soul when they try to scale their brand with marketing deals.

Mark Rober is a good example of an influencer who has stayed true to his core values while scaling his brand. He’s the Gen-Z version of Mythbusters.

Potato Jet is the opposite, his brand has become overrun with every cinematography company using him to peddle their wares. It’s hard to take anything he says as an honest review of the product.
Yep. Summarized, the founder found the Russian equivalent of Facebook, sold it, and started + sustained Telegram with the proceeds.
I also listen to a wide variety of music, and what I've found works really well is letting playlists run past their end, into the recommended tracks at the bottom. Spotify's usually pretty good about keeping to that theme.
It's a little sus that CEPR titles this doc as a factual declaration when the first sentence is "The European Commission (alongside other regulators) is conducting an in-depth investigation of the Google/Fitbit deal." It calls into question the objectivity of the investigation when the announcement of the investigation is a statement of a conclusion they the EC is, one assumes, actively investigating.
It is only terrifying if you assume people are mindless spiritless bots.

In which case (if you truly believe that), we are all fucked anyway. Then who cares? Is youtube really your biggest problem?

> is maximizing for your mind's engagement.

So has media been doing for a long time, also all writers and poets, etc. Mind's engagement is not the only meaning of life, and most people act out this deep knowledge. I don't see a problem.
The API, for example. It's a ton of fun to bang out toy projects.

Just the other day I built my own podcast picker script that curates a playlist of subscribed podcast episodes in exactly the way I want (balance-wise/order-wise). Sounds minor, but it has been huge for my smart-home listening experience, given how terrible the out-of-box podcast experience is with Alexa.
Related: the Gell-Mann effect. You read a newspaper story on a topic about which you are knowledgeable, and get mad at how wrong they've got everything. Then you turn the page and read the next story, on which you are not an expert, and take it at face value.
I made that point, I thought; but think it is fundamentally a different effect than editorializing or filtering the outputs.
That sucks, but also very weird.

My pool, 2 vdevs each a 4-way RAID-Z1, has been used and abused for almost 7 years now. I've gone over the 85% mark but it still works fine, performance too.

Wow, that's a really great summary, thank you! If you wouldn't mind, I am very curious about two things:

First, what's your opinion on alpha lipolic acid and MDMA neurotoxicity? Given its popularity and its rising use it'd be great to have a simple way to prevent MDMA-induced neurotoxicity, and ALA is pretty widely available and relatively cheap, but there doesn't seem to have been much research on its use in humans.

And second, how bad are the neurotoxic effects of these drugs? The internet has anecdotes in all directions, from people claiming serious issues from only a few low doses of (cocaine/opiates/MDMA/etc) to people claiming no issues whatsoever from significantly more extensive use at higher doses. I realize that every person is very different, and this is a sort of "how long is a piece of string" question, but what is your personal feeling? More and more college students are experimenting with MDMA and cocaine especially - do you think a few low doses cause serious permanent damage, or do you think the neurotoxicity wouldn't be serious enough for concern, or somewhere in the middle?
This doesn't really go against the Leetcode till you die advice. It's just assuming that you're baseline really good at Leetcode style questions so that you can focus on soft skills. I do not believe you can get a job in any top 100 company in this day and age without being able to regurgitate Leetcode mediums in your sleep.

So yeah be nice to people and all that, but you also must pass the tech screen and the 3-4 Leetcode sessions.
I use XFS too, but some large companies such as Facebook have adopted Btrfs on their servers.

This isn't necessarily true. You can have rigor around your value/culture fit questions. In our process, we require strong reasons for both yes and no decisions (especially for culture fit). If an interviewer says no "because X" we look for similar signal to have shown up in other parts of the loop (performed by different people). If only one interviewer sees a signal, we are careful to analyze it for bias.
How is this not reasonable?

MSG is naturally occurring in things like seaweed, tomatoes, mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese.

You don't have to internalize anything. Just start small with whatever cause is important to you. Try to get people to join your efforts. Set some goals or an end point where you'd feel satisfied with what you've done and can move on to something else without guilt.

Don't forget that Steve Jobs is not an all-knowing oracle. He was human, and in many ways a product of his time. His '60s hippie ideals certainly influenced Apple I's marketing and story (taking on 'the man', IBM). But in his personal life, he denied paternity of his daughter for years, well past the point where he was a multi-millionaire and could have afforded to support her.
Looks like I found my new coding font. This is so great!
> If you can't articulate your own sense of your worth,

The concept of your "worth" as the salary that you can manage to negotiate is so stupidly backwards that I cannot express how much it makes me want to burn everything to the ground.
Youtube Music on other hand is fantastic and after it, trying to use Spotify was painful experience. Just giving you a hint.
Er, have you ever used a computer system, or written a computer program?

Their position was that you don’t need to check the calculations, don’t need to show why it produced the results it did, you just assume it’s always correct. I work in the finance industry myself and have supported financial applications in banks and exchanges and the way these cases were handled is unbelievable. We’d never make assumptions about our systems like this, it was grossly negligent and incompetent and the courts need very clear guidance on how to do better.
Question, what do you want to use it for? If it’s somewhere like LinkedIn, nothing can stop you.

I guess more what I was getting at originally myself was Apple opening a credit card didn't strike me as big news of bigger things on the horizon. Given dozens of other companies do the exact same thing, some also doing the 2% back everywhere thing.

after an accident ~15 years ago, I was discharged after 6 months on 120mg of Oxycontin daily (40mg 3x a day) After being frustrated being tethered to the oxy bottle, I went cold turkey. The first thing that happened after the withdrawal symptoms subsided was I found I had chronic diarrhea. After years with my doctor trying different things, I found that the symptoms could be managed with about 16mg of loperamide. That was great for a while, until the FDA restricted the bottle size. At that point I could no longer buy enough over the counter, so I now have my doctor prescribing it for me. Unfortunately 16mg a day is the largest amount they can prescribe (IFAIK) so if it gets worse, I'll have to figure out another solution.

I'm not sure why this happened, but my suspicion is that while hospitalized I was infected by MRSA, and to try to get rid of it they were dumping some of the more toxic anti-bacterials into me to get rid of the MRSA (which took a year and a half to get rid of.)
my point was not about 4 hours, its more like , if i spend 4 hours for you, least you can do is to look interested and make me feel like they need me (just like i need them )
Free newspaper I want to add. Nobody is forcing companies to publish their content freely accessible.

I don’t know how many of you people remember the Internet around 2000. People actually paid to be able to publish their stuff on the Internet. Because they wanted to. Without any intent on getting revenue. Unthinkable, I know!
I’m currently building an SPA with the above approach and it most definitely isn’t “not using Django”. There’s plenty of Django if you use DRF. You’re also still exposed to templating if you use Django Admin like they suggest and I’m also doing.
Stubble-burning contributes only for a short period of time during early winter. Granted, it is a significant contributor (over 40% this year) during this time. But Delhi's pollution is plenty bad over the rest of the year as well.
> Well my time is definitely not free; people pay lots of money for access to it.

Your working time is worth money, but your free time is free. Your time is only worth money (opportunity cost) if you'd otherwise be working on some money-making opportunity.

If it's 1. Hiring someone for $25/hr to mow the lawn while I work on a contract that's making me $200/hr, I'd choose to hire the gardener. If it's 2. Hiring someone to mow the lawn while I play video games, I'm better off if I mow it myself.
Philanthropy is someone wealthy paying for 1000 teachers to get the vaccine and not getting anything in return. Philanthropy may or may not have covenants attached and the philanthropist will have different levels of control: "You must give these vaccines first to the teachers of my local elementary school" or "these must go to teachers in low income areas", etc.

That the rich person receives the vaccine for their money, ie a material consideration, makes this not philanthrophy by definition - it's a sale. Or, put another way, me buying an overpriced handmade christmas ornament from Etsy isn't philanthropy either, even if I'm choosing to really overpay.

> If cities have become more dangerous in recent years, people will notice and change their behavior.

Dubious.

Certainly, behavior is driven by perception of danger, but whether perception of danger generally tracks with actual danger or not is…less certain.

I know for child abduction and child assaults by those outside of the family that has historically not been the case; and perceived danger has increased as media focus increased despite decreasing actual danger, for several decades in a row.

I don’t see why similar (or opposite, if media focussed shifted away while actual danger increased) trends would occur with other forms of danger.

Its not a lazy cop out. There is a reason why Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage have more users - they are simple to use for an audience that is not tech savvy.

Matrix has a long way to go before getting people to join is "easy". Theyve done great work over this year to get that done, but its far from perfect.

Fight the good fight but dont forget what makes an app attract users. Even now on matrix, when you sign up, matrix.org is the default server. If majority go about signing up without changing that, you end up with a centralized service.

Ask HN: How to Collaborate with a Cofounder Remotely?
I recently started working on a project with a technical cofounder, and most of the collaboration we do now is on email, but the threads get super clunky and long, and its impossible to recall what we had spoken about a certain topic weeks ago, and impossible to find the topic we discuss on the threads. I was thinking of using google docs for certain topics and take it from there but still not sure about that. Trello is more about to-do lists, which doesnt fit. I want to be able to collaborate with my cofounder and keep up to date for different topics and subtopics, say one is for fundraising, the other is for packaging the product and fulfillment, the other is for product requirements, the other is for branding, and etc. Then, when I need to look up what we've discussed about fundraising, I can just look it up and then update it there frictionless and super easy. Google docs seems like a good idea, but not good in practice. Any other tools?
Signal is great and I believe it does have better crypto. But the UI is severely lacking along with feature set.

Telegram feels like it's adding something new every few months, though the documentation over the features is poor since it's mostly through announcements. It's also a lot more customizable. I ultimately settled on Telegram because it was a good balance of feature-rich and crypto (when you use it)

That being said, it was hard enough to get a small group of friends to transition to Telegram. Signal would be much harder due to not having so many niceties.

I wish both to continue competing against each other, though. It's great to have choices that aren't owned by the big corporations.
To contrast, in my early days of options trading with Interactive Brokers, they had closed a spread ~10 minutes before expiry at a loss, which turned profitable 8 minutes later.

Contacted support, and they responded within 2 minutes explaining exactly why this had been done (risk profile at the time, and insufficient margin to cover). They answered all my questions and even explained what I should do to mitigate this issue going forward.
Jerry Martin? No kidding, the Rush Hour OST is legendary! One of my favorite instrumentals to work to, for sure.
The Signal blog post says from the beginning that:

> Since we weren’t actually given the opportunity to comment in that story

So it may just mean they were not given enough time to respond before publication, or even that they were contacted post-publication. In the race to front page "breaking news" the responses are expected to be published as updates to the story.
Fried chicken is different in Korea, notably the type of seasonings and the double frying.
I’ve been on the other side, and hired people, which means you sit through 8 hours of interviews. Sometimes days in a row. I also work as an external examiner for CS students, which again, mean that I sit through long days of tedious technical tests.

I can’t imagine why you would ever want to subject candidates to that. It’s tiring enough when you’re not on the spot. I’ll typically spend the weekend or days leading up to such an ordeal in preparation, and when a day is over I’ll go home or to the hotel, do a few hours of prepping for the next round and then go straight to bed. Because you’re that spent. It would be ridiculous to expect a candidate to perform well, or show you anything about themselves, when the interviewer gets that busted. Because a candidate would have it much harder, especially if they are early in their careers.

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to subject themselves to those sort of ordeals either. I realise that I’m Scandinavian, and that our interviews and hiring processes are very different from Silicon Valley, but all my interviews have been as much about the company/organisation selling itself to me as me selling myself to it. Well not for my first two jobs, but since then.
I haven't been following kernel dev for years; what does the CI setup look like? Did the Phoronix Test Suite ever find its way into widespread use?

Back when I was building kernels for embedded hardware (Sheevaplug) in the 2.6.33 timeframe, I found a USB audio regression between 2.6.33.7 and later versions. If there were a semi-turnkey way to set up a testbench that could automatically reboot hardware in every new kernel, run through some basic tests, and report any deviation, I probably would have been more likely to do so. At the time I was working solo trying to release a polished consumer product (sadly though the product was released the business didn't work out) and didn't have time to dig into and report bugs.
