I had high hopes for a pro-social silver lining around the pandemic as well, but it's simply too distant and indirect (especially given that the outcomes ranged so widely to those infected: from death, to the worst flu ever, to no symptoms at all).

What gives me hope is the fact that our species has altruism at all, even if it isn't as widespread as we would like; it's evidence that cooperation is at least sometimes a competitive advantage. Looking at nature, we see both symbiosis and predation as successful survival strategies. The tension between Good and Evil we will have with us always; the bad news is that Good will never definitively win, but the good news is that neither will Evil.
>If the fundamentalists are a problem, maybe there’s a problem with the fundamentals?

What people call fundamentalists are often not all about the actual fundamentals. Rather, they're stuck on one or another bad, but still old idea. Actual fundamentals do not reflect the hateful, angry, bitter image that's conjured up by the term "fundamentalist."
IIRC OpenBSD's version of pf is single-threaded, which might be an issue depending on your network speed and hardware. A single core of an Atom or Celeron might struggle on a gigabit or 10gig network, if that's the use case.
During the Centurylink outage, like last year?, I had to switch IPs to a different network since those were exposed over BGP and you couldn't update BGP anymore. All one offs sure, the point of low TTLs is to be prepared. I pay for Route53 by the query so I'm aware of the cost and it's still nothing compared to the cost of an outage waiting for a TTL to expire.

Rather easily. There are routing protocols designed for such things. Far more reliable than trying to hijack DNS for load balancing.

Indeed the root DNS servers are not a single server but pools of geographically distributed servers via anycast.
AI driven chat bots are routinely deployed, yes. But it's also true that at least one bot generated content that spooked its owner:

"The AI chatbot Tay is a machine learning project, designed for human engagement. As it learns, some of its responses are inappropriate and indicative of the types of interactions some people are having with it. We're making some adjustments to Tay." (Microsoft statement)

Religion isn't the point, you need to be a part of a community to meet people. It's very rare for you to be able to make real friends, or find a mate by staring at a screen all day. Church provides one mechanism, but in the old times you could also join a bowling league or an elks club.

Now instead of being a member of a community where your actions are held to account, you can hop on Twitter and call all types of people names. And for what, just so you can spread your anger to other people ?

Perhaps he had to urinate again, and did not have an additional bottle? What then should he have done?

If you'll notice, we're now heading down the path of playing out ever-more-elaborate strategies for individual delivery drivers to maintain homeostasis without offending the delicate sensibilities of the people they serve, instead of questioning why this is a problem in the first place.
Off topic, but I'm curious. Say a human empties a pee bottle on a public sewer drain and a dog pees on that same drain. I don't see much difference except one of them urinated in public. Chemically they're the same, but I'm more repulsed by the human waste, why is that?
I find it surprising that the Intercept would be so cavalier about the source material, given that it is likely to have a highly restricted distribution list inside Amazon.

Reminds me of this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/13/business/media/the-interc...

> The Intercept scrambled to publish a story on the report, ignoring the most basic security precautions. The lead reporter on the story sent a copy of the document, which contained a crease showing it had been printed out, to the N.S.A. media affairs office, all but identifying Ms. Winner as the leaker.
I think the point was that it's not different from Node.js - and thus not much of a benefit.

If it was more along the lines of "I want to use this array helper library, but it shouldn't have any permissions" then it would be a lot more useful, but right now if your Deno app needs any file or network access, then all of your dependencies get access too.
>why draw the ire of the public
Because that ire is powerless and asserting dominance over society is a series of shifts like this.

They're going to tell people what their version of reality is, and people will have to accept it; There will be no comeuppance, and alternate realities and truths are to be forcefully disregarded whenever that's more convenient than ignoring them.
> The entire teaching is based on life energies and ki flows which... just weren't there for me. I was able to progress nicely also without them - faking them to be more honest, I could have been continued growing in the technique, but what was the point continuing something I don't believe in?

I had a similar experience — in Kung fu and Buddhism.

Beliefs are a model of the world: just because a model isn’t phrased in terms of my core beliefs doesn’t mean it has nothing to teach me.

In the case of Kung fu and Buddhism, I don’t believe I would understand things as well as I do (physics, physiology, neurology) without having taken the time to understand what those other models were trying to express about the world.

To use an analogy: just because I have an irresolvable dependency conflict with a new piece of software doesn’t mean it has nothing to teach me about software and programming.

>crusade against soft drugs, LGBTQ+, and trans rights to name a few.

So then why have those crusades all but evaporated?

Weed is on its way to being federally legal. Hard drugs are becoming legal or decriminalized in some jurisdictions. Trans people are pretty much universally accepted/tolerated as being a thing that isn't going away with the remaining conflict more or less related to all the gender based stuff that's been codified in law over the years.

Religion is just a tool too. It's just not wielded by the flock, but rather by someone that wants to control the actions of the flock.

Spirituality can be something else altogether, but usually just boils down to magical thinking.
Prediction: Microsoft will be buying Deno. Screencap this.
Here is the presentation which provides more context than the slides alone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E9ga-CylWQ

I've watched it before and it is compelling; however, at the end of the day, an OS that tries to take security seriously is probably better than one that doesn't. The OpenBSD code is small and I suspect that the defects/KLOC is far less than other projects capable of routing. I'd love to hear more critiques for using it as a home router though.
It should be pointed out that the northern part of the canal has a second canal running parallel. The southern portion is the only part that has only a single passage.

Political instability is definitely a contributing factor to the fragility of the southern corridor.
No, it's very much in line with the way Amazon Security staff operated when I worked there.

They very much favour proactive reports, and heavily emphasised that they'd rather have a ticket and resolve it as nothing, than not be ticketed at all because you're not sure. Unusual behaviour on a twitter account are most definitely things they'd expect to have reported to them for evaluation, or expect to report themselves if they saw it.
The end of TenFourFox and what I've learned from it
ya that's a fair point. Right now we just give canned responses but our API does have real world implications like Lob. Actual test kits get sent out. It's hard to balance essentially duplicating your prod environment for the sake of simulating things vs canned responses which just give you the different responses you'd expect. I guess the big downside is you don't get to test asynchronous changes to objects.
It filters for people who have

* taken a 'real' CS class
* understand the choices that library implementations make
* have probably had to deal with large dynamic data sets and runtime optimization.

Most of the questions are predictable, but not knowing anything about them is a huge red flag.

It is? I only ever hear about it when the Republicans do it.
Cancel culture still getting stronger. More momentum for the pendulum when the trends bounce back, I guess.
This idea that we didn't know about asymptomatic spread in Feb/Mar is revisionist history. There were many, many reports of it coming out of China, and it was being talked about a lot.

Even in the U.S., we had several documented instances in March of asymptomatic superspreader events, including the Skagit Choir on March 10.

It would have been one thing if public health officials had remained neutral on mask wearing, but instead they actively discouraged it, and promoted interventions like hand washing and disinfecting surfaces, which had no real scientific support and are now believed to be essentially ineffective.
Good grief- you do not need to reboot the server; just flush the cache https://www.dnsstuff.com/clear-flush-dns-server-cache-window...
Not sure I understand, are you implying Deno does automatic tree-shaking on package imports? If not, how does "deno download exactly the code that is imported" and not just a whole package?

Also, from your link:

"In Node this is done by checking node_modules into source control. In Deno this is done by pointing $DENO_DIR to some project-local directory at runtime, and similarly checking that into source control:"

I disagree with this. In my opinion, this is done by using a pull-through cache that caches every package developers request and so inherently has a cache of the packages that will go to production.

Is it possible to do this in deno today? I don't really get that sense.
You know, I think you're right. Sorry about that! Just read my comment as an especially annoying yes-and.
For simple sums, about the same, but 20% cheaper. Soulver is a fair bit more powerful, but I own Soulver (albeit the old v2) and haven't used much from the extended feature set.
Design, Dependencies, and Developer Responsibility
This is why I said somewhat off topic as it could be like you said or it could a valid concern. I can’t really tell the intent. Irregardless I think it’s a good call to open a ticket. The amount of times I’ve seen something come from an innocuous user report is frightening.

Actually rereading it again I would say the source is the person that opened the ticket and not a member of the security team.
Quickening Based on Inline Caching for Python
Well, from my experience at Fortune 500s, they do encounter these problems, but they're supported by internal IT departments. As developers (I just assume everyone on HN is one by default), we aren't really the intended audience. If office products are essential to your job, having someone to support you when your presentation is messed up (or even blame) is really important.

Collabora's support model allows companies to outsource that support responsibility, similar to http://electric.ai/

Does it make financial sense for their users? I don't know. But I can see the value proposition for someone making office software purchasing decisions, especially if they're concerned about a lesser-known brand like LibreOffice, or think open source software is inherently less reliable.

GPT-3 doesn't know anything about the Suez Canal blockage. It only knows what it could have learned by googling "suez canal" on the date the last update was released. I imagine the newsletter content it created for you was mostly general background info about the canal.

Whenever GPT-3 is updated or a new version comes out, it will be able to speak much more intelligently about the topic. But of course any update will require re-doing all the careful tuning of prompts and models...

Language developers finding bugs in LLVM is ok, but if there are already several instances of regressions in LLVM found by developers of (maybe "exotic") languages, then the reaction should be less "hey, well done, you found a bug" and more "how can we avoid such regressions in the future?"...
Nice, will you extend or amend your research accordingly?
That's fine for assessing graduates, but good developers with a lot of experience won't be as familiar with writing algorithms from scratch. They'll have to do a lot of revision for technical tests just to memorise reels of information they'd google in 10 seconds in real life.
Considering the content, maybe it should be renamed "Google Trivia". It's like a bad version of Reddit with no comments for context/addl information.

Its not clear what this is. May be I am overthinking this but it could be one of two --

1. Is Instagram collecting a lot of data and sharing 79% of that with third parties on their end?

2. Is Instagram collecting 79% of the user data available to third party apps on iOS?

If it's 1, as I suspect it is, then is it through their ads sdk? If so, how does an external entity get this estimate of 79%?

So many other questions come up too. Why is it listed separately from FB app? Do they have a separate ad sdk for Instagram and FB? I thought the number just means that Instagram is more valuable to services and so buy more there.
Another big miss is not mentioning "The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority" by Martin Gurri first published in 2014 and republished by Stripe Press in 2018.

Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age government, political parties, the media.

The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world.

I think the default rule to employment is that if you refuse to work, your employer can fire you and hire someone else to do the job, especially in a critical industry like air-traffic control
I just don't see the harm in a short TTL. Most apps are "bursty" so a 1 minute TTL is more than ample, basically giving them a 1 time penalty on the first request then nothing for the rest of the requests.

1 minute is a long time, you can do a ton of requests in 60,000 milliseconds.

On the flip side, setting the TTL long can be a disaster. You can't fix it after the fact. If you have a 1 hour TTL then that's potentially 1 hour before the changes needed to fix a service fully take effect. That's 1 hour of helplessness.
I wouldn’t tell people directly that they should write those classes/methods, only hinted towards them. I don’t think anyone came up with the idea of writing “filter” on their own, and people often struggled with the implementation. The interviews were and hour long and I gave lots of hints. Not a lot of successful candidates from it, and I was quite lenient.
This is only true as far as how most Christians and churches are so casual in their beliefs, there's no meaningful difference in their lifestyle vs a non-believer's.
I’d say the church from Rome has always had problems like any group of humans. Collectively the churches established by the apostles I’d say got the truth right.
Though if I were to pick a date where they went seriously wrong and led to what you saw at the time of the reformation and today I’d say 1054 AD

As for women being treated poorly that is not something the church introduced, but has practically been done by men since time began. If you read early church history you’d probably realize that your moral basis itself is founded upon the work church did.

If you’re someone who is open minded you should try to hear good arguments from another perspective.
I’d recommend Dominion by Tom Holland perhaps - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465093507/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm...

What I’ve found is people who actually don’t believe their opinions strongly avoid books challenging those opinions, while those who do are perfectly willing to be challenged, because they are confident their opinion is the right one.

For example a person who weakly believes in a free market will avoid reading Marx, a person who strongly believes it will. And vice versa for let’s say Ayn Rand.
Those still are all trivial in the "too little too late" sense.

URL-based imports are already something you can do in package.json if you really thought that was great. Top-level await really is trivial. The permissions system does very little for you since they are process-level permissions when I'm scared of transitive dep attacks. Typescript in Node is good and Deno has to catch up in tooling.

If Deno was where it is today but like 8 years ago, it would have made a splash. Now it just looks like someone made a few creature comforts to Node.
Yes - it’s called planning. Lowering TTL well in advanced is not a new concept and works very well if you have enough advanced notice from the application owners ahead of time :p
I think you're being sarcastic but exactly! It basically worked for North Korea and I bet Ukraine wishes they held onto theirs these days. But idk if even something as powerful as a nuke is needed, you just need some measure that makes attacking the place less valuable than not. Personally, that screams cyberwarfare to me (e.g. yeah you can take our city but by the time you do I will have shut down your electric grid and financial market for a few days) but who knows

Thanks! Nick can chime in here once he's up - I'm the night owl (we're on SGT) and he's up in a few hours.

But the way I see it, most of the problems around piracy are systemic. I'll skip going into too much detail, but when economies are set up to benefit from a rise in pirate activity in their borders, you've created a loop that removes incentives to find a long-term solution.

The solutions have been exactly what you've suggested. One option for highly trafficked routes (like the Gulf of Aden) is to control a narrow part of the route well, so ships can use it. The IRTC[1] is a good example.

The other option is security. However, security may not always be possible. One reason is price (when we started Greywing, the per day cost of a security vessel sometimes exceed that of the tanker it was guarding!). The other is that security is still a volatile market, especially since suppliers always have to be located in the countries you're closest to. Security companies can pop in and out of existence, and the service is often a far cry from what you pay for.

There has been some work in the technology on the vessels - better training for the crew, better citadels, nonlethal deterrents, etc. However, these can only go so far when you're comparing the resolve of a pirate vessel to that of the crew on a tanker to survive.

From a software standpoint, routing makes a difference, but not as much as you might think. If a vessel needs to call at a port, there are often unavoidable routes that need to be taken. However, some of the early work we were doing focused on making sure that the captains and crew had a good idea of high and low alert days, as well as an idea of the mitigation measures to undertake to prepare for them.

Some of the products that were serving the security market when we started have since gone out of service, and I'm not personally aware of any yet that focus on operators, rather than nation-states and intelligence agencies. There's still open demand for services that focus on establishing trust and reputation around suppliers, aggregating good services, and enforcing due diligence.

This took me down a rabbit hole of our videos, but [2] is an example of what CRY4 looked like in the early days, when it was just piracy!

The example they gave was about the comparative value of being vaccinated vs not. Since the population is vaccinated above the herd immunity rate for the MMR vaccine, then there is a perception by the individual that there is little to no personal value to recieving it given that herd immunity protects them. So in their mind, the risk of an adverse event outweighs the risk of becoming infected. It is rational. Then the question is on whether it is reasonable. For someone with a high likelihood of an adverse event (such as from a prior dose or existing condition) then this is also reasonable. If they don't have an increased likelihood, then maybe it's not reasonable.

Of course if we fall below herd immunity, then the cost/benefit changes. Rational people who previously elected to not be vaccinated (without higher risk factors) would be likely to then elect to be vaccinated, in theory.
