I run my blog using perhaps the most boring option - Wordpress, with close-but-not-quite the default theme (different fonts mostly). Outside of adding a cover image on every post and occasional footnotes, I don’t really need much.

However, that’s pretty lightweight on decisions I had to actually make to publish, and all the alternatives seem to be more involved. I wouldn’t mind migrating off WordPress, but just on the theming side that has a decent chance of involving a non-free theme, making the idea of hosting it on a public repo somewhat of a non starter...
I don’t think there is any evidence to support that claim.
I don't know. For a sufficiently large change, it isn't necessarily in your company's best interest to try to keep you happy. You have banked knowledge and skill in X. You have limited skill in Y but wish to learn. The loss of some fraction of X is always going to hurt the company more than your gain in Y will benefit them, so they are going to try to keep you doing as much of X as possible for as long as possible. If they were to let you switch to Y, they'd have to have already needed a junior person there, and they will now have to replace the person doing X. Maybe this is a small vs large company thing, but I think it is entirely possible to "typecast" yourself into a corner such that the best thing you can do if you want to pivot is jump ship.
I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, so I don't know why you're conflating my devil's advocate argument with those philosophies.

> A mouse’s interests are not on par with the interests of a child

For an anti-speciesist, this is a very anthropocentric and speciesist statement.

I would argue that saving the child would cause greater suffering[0], not only because the human condition unto itself is rife with suffering, but because we have the greatest capacity and demonstrated ability to cause grave harm to all species and to the planet, more so than any other living being.

The voluntary human extinction movement[1] is a very real movement, however ridiculous you find it to be.

Just watched that. It would solve a lot of the problems we have.

But I don know where to start. We deploy using jenkins on AWS EC2 or ECS. I suppose we use the pack tool to create and then upload images to AWS S3 that are later deployed to ECS. Right ?

MkDocs plus Material theme on GitHub pages is pretty sweet. Automatic dark mode, useful plugins. I migrated from WordPress, no looking back.
This is an interesting return to the way that CRTs worked. They were technically 0-dimensional displays (a single beam changing in intensity, which was moved by a non-programmable magnet around the tube)

In our modern future display, we would similarly blast data to only where it is needed at an instant in time.
The author is conflating hardware and logic. A hard drive is hardware but a file system is a logical tree. The author provided simplistic reasoning for abandoning a type of hardware but no reasoning for abandoning file systems.

If not a file system then what? Don’t say RAM, because that is still hardware.
Love the simple interface and speed. Looked up a few shows, but nothing's being produced during COVID :(

>Social media incentivizes controversial takes.

I worry it is trending to all media now.

The local media around me keep covering someone who 'may run for governor' and his ignorant antics... Sometimes it's the same 'thinking of running' story again and again. As far as I can tell he hasn't even taken step 1 to actually run, other than wrap the media around his finger to give him free attention.

Beyond that anyone else who might run, no coverage at all...
yes because of a bad design decision I made to create a custom "related posts", which is a code that searches all my markdowns to pick the best pages and add to the current page. so even with `--incremental` it take quite some time to regenerate
IMHO anybody who says we are alone hasn't comprehended the scale of the universe.

It's unthinkable that there isn't life elsewhere on the almost uncountable other star systems. Unfortunately I think we may have also proven that interstellar travel is effectively impossible thanks to the Fermi paradox.
It’s hard to tell since it’s velocity is very close to the mean of the velocities of systems in our local neighborhood. We do know that it probably passed close to another system (Oort cloud distance) but no exact origin has been identified.
@colinclerk, the "Explore documentation" link on the front page is dead.

Really good stuff. The Next.js integration story is already really quite good[1] and the Clerk team has really good ideas on how to make it even better and more seamless.

It's great to see a service focus on taking away all the pain related to user management, not just login.

> Again, I find it strange how you think one set of laws can't possibly be intelligently and usefully applied by the government, while at the same time thinking another set of laws can, i.e., antitrust.

It's not strange if you look at historical priors. The US Government has frequently succeeded at regulation that involves rulemaking, investigation, and prosecuting abuses. The same government has failed to achieve its' goals any time it tried compliance based regulation. Sure, both are subject to regulatory capture, but I've only seen the one model succeed.

I'm generally against these types of "consumer protection" movements explicitly because they target the smallest "mom and pop shop" companies. Consumer protection costs wind up driving those smaller businesses out and promote corporate concentration. Once you have that, the corporations are writing the rules, and the laws stop protecting customers (see: Boeing 737MAX).

> Tell that to AT&T.

ATT, Verizon or T-Sprint? If they don't answer I can leave a messaging on their answering machine using free long distance, or send an email using a modem. Just a few things that resulted from that breakup...

And we're only back down to three because of a (going on) five decade streak of executives that favor laissez-faire economics, which kind of proves my point that it's a good solution. Look at how much effort it took to undo that breakup, and they still haven't gotten back to the Ma Bell days.
You're comparing discussion of the past with predictions for the future here.
That’s called restorable state and it’s better than assuming everything can be always persistent, like Lisp/Smalltalk images did.

For one thing, restarting all the time makes it less fragile. You don’t have to untangle your state that’s been persistent for months if there’s a bug in it.
There are pros and cons to being a network rather than 1 supplier. It include the ability to always look for the best options regardless of location or specific machines, filter to your exact needs, source for competitive quotes etcetera. We work hard to only work with top suppliers and vet them.
Sexism is complicated, I've known useless women at work (crippled, not enough mastery or drive) and even abusive ones (charm as a pass to delegate their work to others).

I think one of the issue of work is that you have to be overly bold to crack through the process, even if you're an incompetent employee on many levels, you'll get there through tribal-ish reflexes. And I think masculine traits align with that, which make them get hired a lot more.
> other fully private entities

While I agree, I think it's possible for those entities to become so massive that they become de facto public entities and ought to be regulated as such. The prominent example being social media: such a tiny handful of companies are responsible for such an enormous portion of our collective speech that they are de facto public squares. In such cases, these technically-private entities should be broken up or regulated appropriately. This social media example is particularly relevant since since it's often the subject of "freedom of association for private institution" arguments.
It really isn't. Most of the code is probably going to be uninteresting and you can do 10 lines a minute or more. Some of the code will be more relevant and might take a day for 10 lines. This would just be checking for accuracy though so you could probably just ignore a huge chunk of it.
Tell me where I'm wrong or misunderstanding here: If you consider DNS analogous to HTTP, then DoH is TLS and the DNS provider is the CA (the org you need to trust). Your objection is that you can't modify protocol traffic since there is now an authority out of your control. It seems to me like it increases the security of the user since the network operator can no longer modify the traffic that the user requested.

I get that it makes some use-cases harder, just like HTTPS made some HTTP use-cases harder (like captive portals for wifi login) but in the end it seems like a net benefit for the majority of usecases (I want the same site, securely, no matter the network I'm on), right?
Greenwald calls the targets of his ire "Stasi agents".
This is completely unhelpful hyperbole. Where are the political prisoners? The concentration camps? I'm not sure how much good faith should be extended to somebody who isn't arguing in good faith to begin with.
This. I knew better and still tried to play games last March/April and I'm ~5-10% poorer for my efforts.

Look back at "The Great Recession", had you bought anything, anytime between 2006-2012, you're better off today (Assuming you stayed employed and were not over-leveraged).

This is different from HODL-ing. If you double your money in a few hours, you were probably gambling and you should look for a less volatile asset to move into while you're ahead.

Money should flow to things in roughly this order: Max out your employer match, pay off high interest debt, Fully fund your Roth IRA, continue to try to max out traditional 401k then modify contributions to Roth 401k as you can afford. Once you're saving that ~24k per year and are debt free, then look to retail investing, paying off a car/home early.

If you aren't in a home but will want to be, there is some truth to the housing ladder and home equity is no joke. But remember home ownership isn't an investment, it is a lifestyle.
It's a funny anecdote: at the time half-baked Unity was rolled out, Gnome Shell was introduced as well, and it was worse (no really: even if you liked the UX design, it was so buggy to be really unusable; Unity was simply a plugin for Compiz trying to turn off all features that were buggy). And that's coming from someone with "emeritus" @gnome.org email address.

So basically you were going to get an entirely unfamiliar interface anyway. You could get unpolished Red Hat contraption of Gnome Shell, or unpolished Canonical contraption of Unity.

If anything, Unity had more resemblance to the interface of old (eg you had static virtual desktops, which you only kinda have even today with Gnome), and if you ever used a spatial grid of workspaces (to leverage your human spatial memory: I used 3x3 grid with Emacs in the centre one and task-based workspaces around it), you were out of luck with Gnome 3.

I think Gnome 3 has become significantly more robust even before Unity's demise, but UX design-wise, Unity is much better even today after being unmaintained for years (though buggy as hell).
To me there is 3 main points:

- Even if it's JS, just-js make almost no use of dynamic memory allocations.
- The authors rewrote himself a postgresql driver that support batching request.
- it wraps high performance c++ libraries

Even if the techempower implementation is far more verbose and complex than mainstream JS framework, the amount of work behind just-js and its preformances are just impressive!
For potential users in Europe, is there any documentation on GDPR-related questions somewhere?

> Most AAA games already have 200+ ms delays between pressing a button and anything happening on-screen

Absolutely false, and I don't know where you got that from.

If there was a game that had that kind of latency between input and reaction, people would notice and the reviews would be horrible.
Slightly OT but you deal with the updates issue by leaving it running in rest mode all the time. When something needs updating the console will get a ping, download + install, and go back to sleep. Makes things much easier.
Elon originally funded Tesla because he thought the world was going to run out of oil, not for environmental reasons.

I'm not necessarily saying this point is incorrect, but the structure of the argument bears a striking similarity to the same justification for laws against heresy and blasphemy in the time of Galileo.
Hi dubcanada,

Thanks for your questions! It's good feedback that there's no security documentation up yet. We have a lot more content coming live in the next few weeks - but let me try to hit some of the most important points:

* Session management is handled with secure, httpOnly cookies. We have you set a CNAME in production so we can set cookies in a first-party context (SameSite=Lax).
* Cookies are scoped only to domains that require authentication data. If your backend is on api.example.com and you're running hosted Wordpress blog on blog.example.com, Wordpress won't receive your session cookies.
* Passwords are bcrypted
* All frontend-facing endpoints have CSRF protection enabled

Please let us know if there is anything specific we can help clarify. We've gotten into the nitty gritty so there's a lot to document, and it would be great to understand what areas to surface most prominently.

> I guess the downvoters never had a government take all their money because of unpaid parking tickets

That's kind of how it works when you don't pay your tickets.

However, I once had to go to court to show proof of insurance that I didn't have when I was pulled over.

I watched as all these people showed up, pleaded no contest and the judge gave them like 50% off what they owed. You would think you would get a discount if you paid out of court, but no, you can force extra/busy work on the courts and you get to pay less. Being a pain in the ass can save you money.

Speeding tickets, red light tickets - sure there can be innocents. But parking tickets - the ticketed are almost always guilty.

Of all the things to complain about regarding the government, you probably picked the most legitimate of all in parking enforcement.

I mean, I don't like all the rules and fines, but it's a pretty clear thing and a pretty clear fine & collection process.

Everyone knows you can get your car booted too.
hey, thanks! :D
Rather than rehash the ancient argument once again, I defer to this post:

Doesn't seem the conversation was private at all. Nor did the Stasi traffic in ruining reputations for perceived bad behavior. They arrested political dissenters by the thousands. Andreesen is a billionaire who would, at worst, have to apologize on twitter and continue his life of total freedom. Did anyone consider Donald Sterling to be a victim?
I cut my teeth on Hugo and mdbook, and mkdocs was a breath of fresh air. No crazy templating, no pseudo-markdown index files, and lots of flexibility in the site and page structure.
It’s even worse than that because the bad actors are doing this at scale and will have automation to auto-appeal while normal people will sometimes shrug and decide it’s not worth it. So your appeals queue likely contains a higher flow of bad actors than the distribution of FPs.
Are you kidding? 1 public figure, a freaking journalist, reads something and immediately decides they need to do a hot-take-cancel-op on a public figure they didn't like, libeling him in the process. Greenwald takes a much more measured approach, he writes a blog, like 1000 words, explaining his thoughts. There's a non-thinking person on one side and an articulate person on the other, and you want to denounce the articulate one?
The problem with starting over is that you don’t understand how the current state came to be, so you’ll probably just reinvent it instead of getting anywhere new. See Chesterton’s fence.
weerg
Opinion vs News. Greenwald is clearly expressing his personal opinion on his personal blog/page/substack.

Newspapers generally mark Opinion columns as Opinion. In the case of the NYT article, it's not marked Opinion, but you could reasonably infer it as opinion because it's written as a dialog between two people. However, it's not explicitly marked as opinion, which it should be in order to make it clear that this is just the reporters' opinions.
Google’s product philosophy is more like they are providing the technology, not the product. If the product fails, then it is your problem because they only offer up until what their tech actually does.

Had a similar experience with Google Ads where their automated systems shut off our paid ads just before Black Friday due to a technical error, and despite having constant human sales contacts none of them could do anything useful.
> and/or the open web

The open web does not have the expectation of moderation. Apple's store does, and they're still failing even if they're not as bad as a mostly unchecked place.

The news is not that scam apps exist. It's that they're blatantly obvious in both search abuse and other aspects and they're not removed.
If ever there was something that should be fully transparent it is the mechanisms by which a person might be found guilty of a crime. The defendant shouldn't even have had to fight for this. It should be a fundamental cornerstone of criminal prosecutions.
I‘d love to see Apple joining. They already have the hand on LLVM and support things indirectly, but...

There is no reason that serious things written in Rust can‘t coexist with app-y stuff in swift.

Seriously, I think we all would benefit enormously from some consolidation, especially on such a great foundation like Rust. Think investments like: compiler-optimizations like V8, portability like C, enterprise grade tooling like Java, productive libraries like Ruby, datascience libs like python, ... it would be great to have all of this in one coherent package.

Why? Instead of glueing together brittle and fragile things where the moving parts break within weeks, reinventing the wheel, we could finally focus on the actual things to build. Bonuspoints for Rust: every other techstack can leverage/profit directly, like when binding C stuff.

Everyone still can innovate like the past decades, languages and libs will be re-explored and reinvented and so on, but, really, a solid baseline would be a dream

> In the USA, all sides can call and rely on their own forensics

Ah, not quite.

More accurately: "all sides can call and rely on their own forensics _if they can afford it_"

In this country we _say_ that everyone has the right to an attorney, but that doesn't extend to expert witnesses.

This means forensic evidence becomes a _phenomenal_ tool for targeting the little guy, or the lower classes, while conveniently providing hooks for the more wealthy defendants to escape the system.
Intel actually discontinued Optane for consumers so this won't really fly... At least not yet.

One explanation comes from just looking from the content creator's point of view: they kinda don't care what previous iterations of the work really look like (draft-final-v5-oct27-FINAL.doc anyone?)

The things a content creator might be more interested in aren't really core git strengths: SEO, publishing schedules, editorial back-and-forth, social media, etc.
I thought my point was obvious, but no, it's HN and I have to spell out everything explicitly.

The Mafia Code isn't bad because it has bad stuff.

The Mafia Code is bad because it doesn't prohibit awful stuff.

The Mafia Code says nothing about being not evil, or, for that matter, not killing your enemies, not extorting non-mafia people, and so on.

It's all about being loyal to, and protecting the interests of the Family.

Which is what Google aims to be - one big family, which will take care of all your needs, as long as you follow the code.

Sure, and I eventually paid up, that's alright. It's not alright to force me to sleep in a car and wash under a hose behind a gas station, and to look for change in coffee automats. I actually would've paid faster if I had money for my food and rent, as I would've been able to work normally.

AITOO who sees a huge disconnect between the number of viable technologies, the prereqs for job openings, and the notion that there is a 'shortage of developers'?

I'm not sure what changed, or when, but it definitely feels like there are tons of tools that can solve the same set of problems, and the tech choice is more down to preference than killer features separating complete products from also-rans. The odds that a company whose ad intrigued you uses almost none of the same tools as your current employer seems to be growing, and yet the ads that admit to on the job training or humbly ask for "or a similar tool" seem to be no more prevalent than ten years ago.

There are plenty of people, just not ones who believe in your goals and also have 3 years of Laravel and React Native experience. Or I think my favorite pairing so far, .NET and MongoDB.
Mad props to these guys for keeping this massive project going for so long. Seems like a massive amount of work only to get picked apart by my friends here on HN.
It's much more lucrative for authentication/authorization/user management SaaS companies to build trust with their customers than to exploit that trust.

Furthermore, with the economies of scale, there can be more investment done on security & protection of users by a common element. Think of it as a collection of companies pooling their resources on a single engineering team which is responsible for building a rock solid authentication system with many useful features. This helps little guys build on top of something which has the same efficacy as auth services that large companies can afford to build.

At the end of the day, it's a trade off.
Quick feedback: I had to press "play sound" twice before it muted, because of autoplay.
