Your successes are secret, your failures are known. That's your industry's catch phrase.

Here's a list of things I can think of:

1. If you're the CIA/NSA, stop spying on American citizens.

2. See #1

3. Stop NSLs. If you want data, get a valid warrant visible to the public. Allow companies to inform their users/customers that their entire platform is vulnerable.

4. Subject yourself to non-govt over view.

5. Stop hoarding 0-days, and actively work with vendors to fix vulns.

Don't know how to fix it, but until you're no longer in the news for screwing up, this is where we are. Your internal documents show that all of that data slurping has not led to significant positive results. Why spend the money on it then? Why erode the trust that you want? You don't want to tip off the advesary, but your own citizen's rights are much more valuable than what little information you are getting.
I know that there are more possibilities now, but back when I was having my first interactions with gradle it was made infinitely harder by groovy and the auto-completion in intellij never working for me.

After years of working with gradle configs, to this day I still don't know groovy or gradle as intimately as I know other things I've spent as much time with. I wish I did, but I just don't.

I can explain to you what our configs do, but if you asked me to make it do something else it'd be straight to google for examples to mangle, a metric tonne of trial and error, and lookups for simple groovy syntax that I keep forgetting in-between the actual work I want to do.
Same here. In fact, I've more or less stopped reading emails, listening to speeches from higher ups because there's literally no useful information in those other than empty, abstract phrases. One of those experiences was a series of bullshit praises over many months followed by a company wide retrenchment (not because of covid).
If party A uploads something to your servers and the stuff isn't publicly accessible, Google doesn't do anything about it. But if that content is accessible by the public, Google feels a need to protect the public.
Political parties can be harmful because once you have made your allegiance you do not need to expend much energy to research policies and can just support your party's position.

That's why there is I think some merit to how some elections are run in Cuba where candidates essentially run as independents. Whatever the motivations of this system are I see multiple benefits:

- candidates themselves have to show policy acumen and cannot rely on party policy

- Each candidate's personal opinion is therefore more likely to be relayed to the public

- less political conformism as large parties cannot dominate

- Voters are forced to review policies every election rather than simply voting for the same party/party candidates
Posted elsewhere, this is categorically false:

I’m not here to debate this specific claim of phishing, but this is just factually false, _especially_ for applied / practiced humanities. Here are two examples of well respected authors / journalists who are more senior than associate prof at Harvard’s FAS...and this was on just the first link in my first search:

Teju* Cole, Gore Vidal Professor of the Practice of Creative Writing (an endowed professorship, no less! With only an MA and mphil!) https://english.fas.harvard.edu/people/teju-cole

Michael Pollan, Lewis K. Chan Arts Lecturer and Professor of the Practice Non-Fiction (also a professor of journalism at Berkeley! With only an MA!) https://english.fas.harvard.edu/people/michael-pollan

HBS likewise has business practitioners without phds on faculty. Their expertise is of value regardless of on-paper credentials.

These are two very well respected writers. Often, in more research oriented disciplines, the “experts” have phds, by necessity. But especially for applied humanities like creative writing and journalism, the experts w the most experience quite often _do not_ have doctorates, and that does nothing to diminish their expertise or professional credentials.
That's true, but microarchitecture docs and optimization manuals aren't like regular documentation. Apart from the intellectual dick-waving, it's just plain interesting.
From the idTech 4 source code as GPLed in 2011, to "any system that supports OpenGL 1.4 with ARB shaders, SDL and OpenAL". DOOM³ had third-party proprietary Linux/Mac releases back in The Day, but now it's open source and available on many other OSes too.
It'd be inconvenient for you, but there are some big advantages. The number of people involved is too large to be bought off by corporate interests, for example.

Politicians aren't fully informed about these issues either, there are a lot of examples where they vote laws through where it is pretty simple to deduce they haven't read the bill. The current legal framework in the US is so large and complicated nobody understands it all either, raising questions about how the politicians could even theoretically understand what they are dealing with.

The quality of the decisions would rise under direct democracy, and laws would probably become more general and the body of law would shrink to something more manageable.

Although, you can just use Richard Schmid's palette, replace all the toxic junk with modern pigments and you're good to go. The thing is to stick with the palette forever for many decades so that your paintings have a cohesive harmony.
Not sure when you had your experience, but they improved on e2ee a lot and as long as you backup your recovery key you should never see "unable to decrypt message" warnings.
I don't mean to condone trying to force people to change their minds. Just trying to point out the negative association is unfortunate.

Everyone works from whatever information they have, past experience, natural tendencies, etc. And people _can_ break out of an poorly-informed viewpoint. (I grew up in one for many years.) But the process must be cooperative or internally motivated.

BTW, it's interesting how misinformation can overwhelm proven information. Much like spam and bot activity accounts for email and Internet traffic it's easy to lose the signal among the noise. We're all trying to adapt to find the signal. (At least those of us who aren't intentionally producing noise.)
The obvious issue with liquid democracy is vote buying. There are various proposals to fix this (from banning to "what's the problem?") but nothing that seems to address the issue that it's really easy to corrupt.
I've regularly found both issues retaining liberal and conservative friends because I don't fully support the party platform of either. As long as sharing political memes of your party to the community continues, many people are outright pushing away anyone in the middle.

Bear in mind, many people's politics and values have become very aligned: If you don't support someone's views on identity issues, for instance, they may not feel they can be friends with you anymore. If you consider abortion to be literal murder, the color it places on someone who supports or has had an abortion, may make friendship similarly challenging.
Yep agree I have noticed this as well. Not just in this post. Americans in general seems to spend a lot of time telling everybody how great they and/or their team and/or their country is and how hard working they are etc. independently of reality. Trump is a perfect example of this. You could almost call Trump the personification of American culture pushed to the extreme.
Same. I was there, and young, and righteous/whatnot. It was a mad experience that taught me a lot about media and power.

At the time, the "left" was rabidly anti-globalism and anti-GMO-those were themes. I was on a youthful anarchy kick that was informed by the archives of 80s non-leftist anarchist zine world, but also interested in economics and futurism.

As an aside wrt today: my area was tear gassed to such an extreme that I had to carry a guy a dozen blocks while throwing up ropes of phlegm and while national guard stalked through the zero-visibility beating anyone they found with what looked like long wooden dowels.

Later, helicopters lobbed flash bangs and cs gas into residential neighborhoods through which I was slowly escaping. At choke points, random people would band together to make fire barricades before escaping.

So, what's happening now is not especially crazy.
Growing a Startup Team – Want To Hear Your Experiences!
So we are scaling the team right now. I have a feeling a lot of things will change.

- Our “daily standup” with the entire company just won’t be possible as there’s too many people. Afraid we might lose that “togetherness” that made us really efficient as a startup.

- Super excited about growing the dev team. However it seems like we might lose our speed to the processes that need to be in place for more than 5 devs working together. How do we overcome that?

- How fast should we scale? Should we do it all at once, or by stages (3 new hires per month) until we reach our goal.

Want to hear more about your experiences! What you saw that worked, and what didn’t.
If it can’t be built, how does the patent harm anyone except the one who wasted their money to get the patent? There will never be a licensee or infringement to sue over.
This is so far(04:13:32 UTC) the best answer to my question, just because most other comments seems to be 'I use 16GB, so it should be fine' disregarding 'assuming you previously had at least 32GB RAM' part of the question.

Thank you for your time writing this detailed comment.

Few things which caused degraded performance were obvious e.g. tabs, VM.

But things which surprised me,

> * vpn seems to slow things down a bit

With great single core performance and WiFi-6 I would have expected networking to fine.

> Bluetooth mice -- ugh.

Digging further, Bluetooth/WiFi/USB issues seems to documented by others as well[1] unfortunately these gets buried under other reviews following a common narrative for M1 macs.

I'd guess a large net positive among the general population but maybe neutral for the tech literate like HN readers. Most tech-literate people are careful enough to recognize tactics used by phishing sites and won't click on phishing links, or would click and immediately figure out it's phishing. That cannot be said for the general population.
I aware of making an interface for that. I advocate that. What I see people on r/golang saying, and even in HN, is to just pass the DB connection either explicitly or in the context. I hate this. It makes things bound to DBs.
It's from my personal memory of seeing the woman on the News yell at him, which I remember because I just couldn't stop laughing. Unfortunately, I can't find the reference, but while trying I did come across some references to him also talking about letters he had received to that effect.
Organic chemistry should probably be made mandatory as part of high school science education like physics. Parent looks like Exhibit A for anti-thiomersal hysteria.
I think I found the one Hacker News in this thread that actually works in security ops.
Maintaining an HTTP redirect load balancer does have issues, but it seems like if the mirrors have similar enough behavior (like they agree to all take the same URL path), you could run DNS anycast without involving them too much.

This seems better than asking the users to pick their preferred mirror (how do they know who's good?) and maintain it when the list changes. I wonder if anyone provides this as a service without the rest of the CDN.
But that's really just the other members of the coalition fighting over the pie. If you send people checks, the money comes from somewhere. The somewhere is more taxes or less military spending or something like that. So they fight sending people money primarily because they want to use the money for something else. The opponents aren't the anti-socialist crowd, they're the pro-defense spending crowd.

Also:

> There is a completely unambiguous divide on that issue in the regular political context - Democrats are 100% on the side of more personal stimulus, and Republicans entirely on the other side.

Keep in mind that "tax cut" and "giving people money" are economically equivalent. EITC was created and expanded under Republican administrations.

Nah, not in the mood for a voluntary paycut and demotion. But even if I was, I'm not the one running around telling extremely experienced devs that they should rewrite their apps in a different language because of a "web scale" cargo cult. I have nothing to prove to them, unlike you.
>Big O notation can be quite informally understood by normal people.

Right; the concept is easily understood. It is the rigor of deriving and proving that is made difficult by the mathematicians which need not be that way.

As an example, Here is a neat communication from Faraday to Maxwell on receiving one of Maxwell's paper;

“Maxwell sent this paper to Faraday, who replied: "I was at first almost frightened when I saw so much mathematical force made to bear upon the subject, and then wondered to see that the subject stood it so well." Faraday to Maxwell, March 25, 1857. Campbell, Life, p. 200.

In a later letter, Faraday elaborated:

I hang on to your words because they are to me weighty.... There is one thing I would be glad to ask you. When a mathematician engaged in investigating physical actions and results has arrived at his conclusions, may they not be expressed in common language as fully, clearly, and definitely as in mathematical formulae? If so, would it not be a great boon to such as I to express them so? translating them out of their hieroglyphics ... I have always found that you could convey to me a perfectly clear idea of your conclusions ... neither above nor below the truth, and so clear in character that I can think and work from them. [Faraday to Maxwell, November 13, 1857. Life, p. 206]”
Go's GC is excellent btw, a massive benefit is also that you don't need the whole Java VM to run your app.

For pure performance, go write something in C or Rust. In fact for folks that are obsessed with performance rolling your own is the only option. Which is probably why the DO team went down this path.

For most use cases the benefit of working in your dev teams context / language of choice outweighs performance considerations.

And at Tyk the go plugins are native, you can slow down the GC activity to really boost performance if you have RAM to spare. Speed isn't an issue.

Ultimately it comes down to what you are trying to accomplish. What's best for your dev team? How can you innovate faster? How can you get this done cost effectively.

Performance comparisons are a dick measuring contest that are rarely relevant to the problem you are trying to solve.
Really? I find whatsapp light years ahead in terms of user experience. I'm a heavy user of Signal, and I'm cheering for their success, but they have a long way to go.
If future Rust versions do make semantic changes to existing language constructs, that will presumably only apply to crates built with the new edition, and crates built with the old will get the old semantics.

If we’re talking ABI-level stuff, that doesn’t require an edition because you build all your crates with the same compiler, so it can use a consistent ABI.

Swift’s ABI stability has nothing to do with semantic changes and everything to do with they wanted binary compatibility, so they could start using Swift in the system frameworks that your app links against.
Good leadership shifts public opinion.

When I vote, I pick people who I trust to help me form opinions on subjects I don't know in detail.

(Except for climate change,) I don't vote based on a strict adherence to issues; because I want to elect critical thinkers who are leaders.

post mortem??
This is a known "feature" of some access points (AP), especially those used on big corporate WAN's. They want to keep the hardware costs low and software development/testing costs low, so instead of making sure the AP is absolutely solid in operation, they reboot it once a day to clear any problems. Even if the AP has dropped off the network it reboots at a preprogrammed time and gets back on the network. Also saves sending someone out to press a reset button. It also gets rid of any attack code that may have taken over via RAM but which is not present in the firmware PROM. I worked on a campus where all our wireless AP's would reboot every night at around 3am. Data collection for experiments in labs would either have to have retries built in, or use the wired network. This is not an uncommon commercial tactic because it takes an enormous amount of testing to try every possible situation a router or AP could get into (malformed packets, unknown bugs in standardized protocols, compiler bugs, overheating when a sunbeam shines on the router, ...) You might be able to change the time this reboot happens in the admin settings of your router to be something more convenient for yourself. That could also ensure you that as to the cause of the restart.

There are quite a few permutations on liquid democracy, some of which stake out different points on openness vs. susceptibility to vote buying.

For example, you could have only people who have delegates have open votes, while those that don't have anyone delegated to them can vote or delegate secretly. This isn't much worse than our current delegative system, which admittedly does have an issue with vote-buying!
For groups, I think you have to go to each member individually and reset it in the chat menu there.
Thats a real interesting thought, it really is issues like these that basically make every other actual issue fade into the background fir many voters. Of course, good luck getting it passed...
There is an known issue connecting two VGA monitors using an Apple adapter. I’ve only been able to connect one so far.
Here is a better example:

However, this won't fit those looking for a "all people/parties are the same" narrative. One party changed their opinion by 64%, the other party was unchanged.
Well, Clapper did come back for another visit with a statement that could best be summarized as "Oops, my bad". So, to Congress, that's apparently enough. Congress basically has battered spouse syndrome*. They desperately want to believe things will change, but it never does. Instead, time after time, intelligence communities run roughshod over whatever civilian oversight they subject themselves.

*I absolutely am not trying to belittle abuse by using that phrase.
> It's for theft, because getting something of value for free feels good.

I love this too. I steal the mountain air when I hit the trails, I steal the sounds of nearby conversations, and I steal the memories of songs I've heard. Sometimes a friend will sing me something, and I steal that too. I play my music loud sometimes, and I hope those around me steal it.

I've stolen things at my job from my coworkers, little ideas that belong to my company. They'll breed and have child ideas, stolen children, which I will make available for theft by others down the road.

I even stole your comment; it had a little value, in its way. I won't pay you for it, even if you ask. In fact, if you ever write something and seal it away behind copyright, I can't promise I won't read it at a library in the future; you wouldn't see a dime.

Finally: If anybody ever asks me for something I know, or something I am capable of reciting--be it music, poetry, fiction, whatever--I will help them steal it by repeating it. I will not turn them away out of some unnatural commitment to the idea that all valuable information has an owner who must "get theirs" in advance of any transfer.
Creating the infrastructure and business to manufacture the thing to sell takes time. If you created a proof of concept but it wasn't ready for sale you should still patent it so someone doesn't swoop in. Waiting for it to be on sale before patenting it is for the birds.
I've been noticing this shift recently taking place with US party opinions on foreign policy. Republicans have historically been more anti-Russia and hawkish, but during the Trump presidency, Democrats started calling out Trump for getting close with Russia. The Republican voter base has also suddenly turned into a bunch of doves, getting behind Trump's calls to pull out of Syria and Afghanistan.
>Political parties can be harmful because once you have made your allegiance you do not need to expend much energy to research policies and can just support your party's position.

This isn't just limited to political parties, but group "identity" in general.

"YInMn Blue’s appeal stems in part from its high opacity, which means you don’t need to apply much of it to get a good coating."

This! I've noticed that blue exterior house paint, even with an expensive primer, just doesn't cover very well. This stuff seems about 100 times too expensive for that application.
Since phishing is not going to go anywhere with or without blacklists - for obvious reasons, e.g. lists can't cover everything, and you can't add sites to the list instantly - I am willing to tolerate a slight increase in fishing which is going to exist anyway in exchange for not having Google (or any other megacorp, or any other organization for that matter) as a gatekeeper of everybody's access to the internet. The potential for abuse of such power is much greater and much more dangerous than the danger from tiny increase of phishing.
> Likewise there are no shadowy "Big Abortion" interests propping up that side of things, nor am I able to think of anyone poised to profit by forbidding it.

In fact, there are numerous pro-life groups who directly benefit from moving the ball around but never actually winning the game.

The same is true of race relations organizations, animal cruelty activists, the NRA, etc. With all of these, the spoken platform may or may not be a good thing, but

Nobody is obligated to loan you their computers, no. If we were seeing a refusal to peer or route traffic, then maybe it would be a different story.
I'm so glad that modern languages are opinionated and have default formaters that come with them. Jumping from one C codebase to another is really a nightmare, especially if you want to review code. That's a security issue in my book, as you end up with more reading complexity.
Another road to hell paved with good intentions. Once everyone’s paying, who’s to stop them from pocketing the money instead?

“After careful review, we’ve concluded that the Electronic Frontier Foundation no longer aligns with the goals of Google or its parent company Alphabet Inc. to the extent we require from recipients of our Freedom Fund.

Silence? Or just force him to use the means of communication used by every other president in history?

Obviously there is some interesting power here that I'm not sure if I feel comfortable with Twitter having, but having to use press releases and TV speeches instead of hammering a first draft tweet out into the internet is what the vast majority of presidential communication has been

harder to follow? In what sense? Because in my book the fact that you can write both the line with braces and without make it much harder to think about, whereas in most other languages I don't need to think about it because there's only one way to write that.
