Ex-Intel perspective: There is also a lot of work that needs to be done at Intel which requires mediocre engineers by the thousands. Intel does pay well to their top engineers which climb up in the ranks.

The engineer working on CAD, layout, specs, RFQs, Suppliers, Equipment, etc are hardly going to revolutionize anything. Their work is valuable but they’re entirely replaceable.

For every top engineer, you need 20 minions to execute. Folks who think otherwise haven’t really worked in a large company. In the words of Jim Keller - “It’s craftsman’s work. It’s fun.”
The chart at the top of shaicoleman's link indicates that the security key series doesn't support it. I also just tested the hmac_secret.py sample from the python fido2 library and it didn't work with a yubikey security key nfc.
I have to wonder if a lot of this is straight up money laundering. Were there seriously billions of dollars worth of gullible people buying ICOs and every random alt coin a few years ago?

On Reddit, there are tons of spammers selling "copy trading" services. Are there actually customers for that?
Lately I've been following a lot of YouTube fitness trainers (mostly Greg Doucette, who's quite a character but has good advice, but also Sean Nalewanyj, Scott Herman and others).

The consensus seems to be that it's not important, and probably a mistake, to eat a massive amount of food - you don't really need to be in a caloric surplus to put on muscle, though it does make it easier. But then you end up with a lot of weight you need to lose, which is not fun.

And besides, for most guys, I think losing weight is actually more important than gaining muscle if trying to look better. Obviously this depends on the person, but being at a low body fat percentage with a regular-ish amount of muscle is a look that's closer to what most people find appealing, as opposed to being heavier but with more muscle (and probably as opposed to having too much muscle, which is also a negative for most people).

Masks are a major hindrance to communication.

1) People's voices become muffled

2) I can not read their lips

3) Emotional-facial cues are much harder to pick up on.

This cannot be a permanent state of affairs.
Yes, I suspect it is a pitfall of a multi-paradigm language that cannot assume so much about code in order to optimize. Opinionated functional languages (ie clojure, haskell) can have a lot more guarantees about what is going on in order to optimize all those function calls, lexical bindings, etc.
> There's a lot of benefit to finding someone that teaches you both what to do and how to do it, and is also better informed and more competent than most fitness trainers. The good ones will also walk you through a basic physiology course so you can understand the why of it all (why did I become injured, why does this prevent or reduce the risk of a future injury).

This is a big part of why I have avoided it thus far... I have a hard enough time getting a doctor that I feel like cares about my issues (rather than just getting me out the door as quick as possible) enough to listen and understand. I don't want to spend a bunch of time and money trialing different therapists. I wish there was a resource for this online.

I agree though, if I plan to continue the type of cycling I did last year, it's probably going to become a necessity.
Agreed. I guess that very neat programmable IO could be considered as something that would cause lock-in, but in this case, I think the lock-in factor is fair - they are delivering something reasonable unique.

Not OP and I dont hold their position, but I wanted to point out that I think your personal attack is undermining productive discussion on this topic.

The points could have been raised by a happily married woman with grandchildren.
Why must a community grow and scale?

Social networks are a relatively nascent thing for humans (i.e. the easy, global, and instantaneous connection of most people). Recent events show we know little about how to deal with this paradigm shift.

HN has been mostly ad hoc and organic, as in there wasn't an effort to grow or scale it, the right mix of things lead to a great community. My intro / invite to HN was by literal word of mouth 10+ years ago. Just feels like the toxicity of other social networks are bleeding over now that it has enough eyeballs to create profits or desired outcomes through manipulation...
I do think it is a strategy, but I think it's a rather simpler one than that: basic work triage and scope management.

ssh and scp make sense to put into powershell, because they're everyday sysops things. curses is pretty posix-specific, and apps that use it are likely to need other posix stuff, so handle that with WSL rather than unnecessarily re-inventing a wheel.
That is exactly how a veto works. In other words, a consensus-based decision make system is a special case of a decision making system with a veto, in which everyone has equal right to veto.

Yes, but those unsafe blocks can be wrapped into the library. "Unsafe" doesn't inherently mean "bad", it just means that the programmer is explicitly taking the burden of making sure that the normal invariants still hold. So long as the library authors ensure that, then the "unsafe" blocks remain within the library and don't need to be worried about by the users of the library. On the other hand, if a library pushes that additional responsibility to me, it makes me more worried.

"Dentists take the Hippocratic Oath just like doctors. First and foremost, this wasn't just a moral failing, this was a major professional violation, regardless of any government incentives. They put patients in unnecessary risk of complications and likely caused harm in some cases, in direct violation of the one of the most important oaths in any profession."

Generally true, but the judgment call on "is this patient better off by being left alone" vs. "is this patient better off by having a surgery" is not easy, especially in our culture which worships heroic medicine. Patients often demand that something be done because they are primed so from the popular media they consume.

This can be even seen in the end-of-life care. Too many families demand that their dying grandma is given expensive and invasive care to live three weeks longer, even though its not just pointless, but outright cruel.
The issue with the flu isn't that it rapidly mutates but that we can't quite predict which mutations will happen each season. Developing a vaccine for a new strain of the flu is pretty mechanical at this point but each seasonal flu vaccine is really a combination of three different strains that World Health Organization scientists predict will be the dominant strains causing the most damage (it gets reevaluated twice a year). The way that most people take the vaccine (a live but weakened version of the virus) it's impractical, even dangerous, to give them all of the strains at once so an educated guess of three strains is our chosen sweet spot.

The common cold is an even more extreme version of that process but we haven't figured out an economic way of developing rapid vaccine candidates for rhino/coronavirus strains like we have for the flu. Moderna's RNA method might be a game changer here but it'll take a while for their method to be approved as a platform instead of a single drug candidate.

Wow, so AWS is actually a better value for you than for most people. Being able to easily script and deploy your infra is hugely valuable when you have so much overhead.

We heavily use Elastic Beanstalk for dozens of running services, and it's amazing. We don't think about infra at all.

I think it is easier to assess you and let you decide instead of trying to commit you in some manner - which might make people pushback about data privacy issues. So they present a number of potential loans or credit cards - you then must contact them and get their application form and you then provide the lender or card issuer with what you like after you review their privacy rules and also assess them online via various review sites.

Yep, WSL2 is standard enough to draw some in. Its DirectX support is a[n early baby] step in the direction of making it idiosyncratic enough to keep them locked in (we should probably expect more in the future. Right now it otherwise seems to be just a VM, without a lot of non-standard stuff to give it an advantage over running the more stable OS on the bare metal and keeping the BSODing one contained with virtualization).

They didn't ban Trump "without batting an eye" they dickered about it for four entire years while he trampled all over their AUP and they didn't bother banning him until he literally tried to incite a civil war, and even then it's clear that the only reason they banned him is that it didn't work. If somehow Trump's ridiculous little revolt had succeeded in installing him as president again, Twitter would have kept him too.
This is nostalgic for me because my dad always had this as the homepage on the family computer when I was growing up. Well, it was actually a slightly different Netscape page (I think the URL involved CompuServe) but it was functionally identical.

Now then, I expect a swift retribution from other companies to do the "right" thing and banish Twitter from our reach.

Remove them from Google searches, de-platform them from the App Store and cut their access to hosting services.

They have failed to moderate their platform, in fact in this case it seems they did on the contrary, so it is only just they get their part of punishment.
Of course this is easily possible.

Seriously, sure, this isn't like a maths problem. But we can have reasoned opinions about art, just as we can have reasoned opinions about whether, say, a piece of software is well or badly written, given that it does what it's technically supposed to. I'm not just saying it's bad because it gave me a nasty feeling in my tummy.

In particular, poetry and art contain ideas. They express ideas powerfully and viscerally. It matters whether we have good or bad ideas, thinking or hot air, new understanding or stale clichés. In this sense, art isn't just like a bag of cheetos. It has consequences. That's why dictatorships have often censored good art, and supported bad art. Good art can express new thoughts. I think the US will need a lot of new thoughts in the next four years.
The real problem is that Google, due to ownership of Blink/Chrome, has so much power de facto that the W3C process cannot meaningfully prevent them from doing whatever they like anyway - if W3C doesn't follow, it risks a repeat of WHATWG.

This ought to be doable automatically, at least a lot better than the current code:

let event = CreateEventW(
std::ptr::null_mut(),
true.into(),
false.into(),
std::ptr::null(),
);

The .into() is silly but tolerable. But the first parameter is a pointer to a struct, and it’s clear enough from the signature that a reference would work. It could be mut to be on the safe side. (Yes, this involves someone making sure that the API doesn’t retain the pointer.). The last argument is, per the prototype, is a string. Admittedly, the Windows API has a truly horrible idea of what a string is, but surely they could do better than using a pointer.
But CAN you safely reformulate vaccines to include this new protein and introduce it widely into the population without knowing if this protein's antigen is already present in the body and might cause severe side effects?

I think you can't. It's famously difficult to anticipate off-target effects of any novel antigen target. This can't be tested in-vitro. You have to repeat the full range of clinical trials with each reformulation that targets a new antigen.
The common cold isn't just one virus. Many different viruses cause cold symptoms, including several coronaviruses. In particular HCoV-OC43 is quite similar to SARS-CoV-2. If you're exposed to one of those common cold viruses then it generally won't give you immunity to any of the others.
Start reading a single (non porn related) message from one these creeps and your Twitter timeline will be inundated with illegal porn content in no time. Twitter is absolutely rife with that horrible stuff, and Twitter certainly does the minimum to remove any of that, as demonstrated by that article.

Why even give the benefit of the doubt? Someone reports CP, remove it, period. Of course, Twitter makes money off it...

People claim Twitter can't possibly moderate content at scale, except that Twitter makes money at that same scale. Social media can't have it both way, especially when it comes to CP.

This is really cool. Kudos to Microsoft for really getting open source lately. I wrote an app (which failed miserably) called zenaud.io . When I started writing the app, Apple was hands-down a better developer experience. Now, it's the exact opposite -- MacOS is increasingly painful, throwing up more and more roadblocks and constricting their platform ever more. And Visual Studio is better than Xcode IMO.

Also, as a C++/Python dev - it's increasingly hard not to notice the awesome momentum Rust has garnered.
If anyone is interested in reading about this topic in terms of late stage capitalism I would highly recommend a book by Mark Fisher titled Capitalist Realism.

In it he talks about “Stalinist Capitalism” I.e. a capitalist society that is obsessed with metrics which optimize for arbitrary goals at the expense goals which are intangible or hard to measure. It focuses on the metric obsessed cultures that have developed within many private organizations.

Two examples come to mind, universities prioritizing publishing count vs publishing impact and lines of code written vs impact of code.

Yes, but in Rust there are two independent axes here:

- Whether or not a library calls unsafe code internally

- Whether or not a library declares its public API to be unsafe (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch19-01-unsafe-rust.html#call...)

It's very much possible (essential, even) to be able to present a safe API to external callers of your code, despite using unsafe code under the hood. In this case you're making a human-checked assertion of safety, which is not guaranteed to be without bugs, but the important thing is that you're minimizing the surface area of un-safety and declaring a contract with your users. You're "stopping the buck" of unsafety rather than passing it on. The parts that really have to be unsafe can enjoy extra scrutiny, and everything else (including the caller's code) can be checked by the compiler. This is not uncommon in the standard library and other low-level libraries.

More information here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch19-01-unsafe-rust.html#crea...
Back when NN and IE were still in heavy competition, users did choose IE - partly because it was better at standards in some respects (ironically), but mostly because it was free. Once that happened, IE-only websites proliferated, effectively locking the users into the ecosystem.

We're now seeing the same process play out with Chrome. I agree that Chrome became dominant for better reasons than IE, but the outcome is harmful either way.
I enjoyed it as well, i'm also appreciative that they shared their configuration notes here. I've been running multiple data stores on ZFS for years now and it's taken a while to get out of the hardware mindset (albeit you still need a nice beefy controller anyway).

OTOH, I've reported posts and had them take them down within the hour...

The issue seems to be that some posts are reviewed by Facebook staff in America, and others by Facebook staff in India. The American staff acts quickly and is very good about taking violations down. The Indian staff seems to be very laissez faire, due to the different cultural standards for content.

We ban accounts that do that, regardless of what they're battling for or against—we have to, because it destroys what this site is supposed to exist for. I'm not going to ban you because your account has mostly been posting good comments. On the other hand, mostly-not-exploding-bombs is not sufficient. If you'd please review the site guidelines and be more mindful of the intended spirit of the site going forward, we'd be grateful. Perhaps you don't owe your enemies better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

"In this sense, it's more typical of a precious metal. Instead of the supply changing to keep the value the same, the supply is predetermined and the value changes. As the number of users grows, the value per coin increases. It has the potential for a positive feedback loop; as users increase, the value goes up, which could attract more users to take advantage of the increasing value."
