I know plenty of people who have thrown away their entire potential to smoking weed. Smart, young people who instead of developing their skills, making friends, doing well in school, advancing their career, and dating, just sit around and get stoned all day. In my mind, the effects of weed are worse than tobacco. Sure, cigarettes will kill you at 60, but weed will turn you into a lifelong loser at 15.
Too bad NPR can’t have decent programming. Nothing objective, just feverish, leftist diatribe. I’d play a game with the kids on the way to school in the morning; turn on NPR and count the seconds until they say “Trump”.
A Day with Gitpod
1. Phoronix regularly releases benchmarks. You should look at them. At the end of the day it’s all workload-dependent and they trade off the performance crown.

2. Do you mean this [1]? If so then for a while it seems.

3. I don’t understand the question. I can’t find anything called a “machine code analyzer” or how the code analyzer/or any sanitizers relate to in-order vs out-of-order hardware as a class. The former works at source level. The latter is a mixture of library support code and codegen instrumentation and I’m not aware of anything specifically that relies on the execution mode of a CPU (I would imagine RAM constraints are the bigger issue).

It's worse than that: Make a fortify Intelligence poition. Drink that potion. Make another fortify intelligence potion - it will be a bit better than the previous one. Repeat that a couple of times and you can make potions that fortify your attributes by thousands of points and last for hours.

But potions need ingredients you say? Find a merchant that restocks the ingredients you want. Buy them. Close and re-open the inventory - the merchant should have immediately re-stocked. Neat. You could just repeatet that but that's too tedious. Instead, sell the incredients back to them. Close and re-open the window and buy all of the ingredient agiant. Close and re-open the window and the merchant will have re-stocked the total number they had before. Repeat for exponentially increasing stocks.
Does anyone have a source for additional information on the mechanism by which Google is collecting location data when "Web & App Activity" is turned on? Is that permission giving access to the location API in the browser?
And most recently, tons of self styled "Data scientists". This has, IMO, diluted the rabid rhetoric of the 90's/oughties python community which is good, but replaced it with people who don't know and don't care what good code even looks like, so it can be difficult to work among them.
If think the regulation wasn't a point of this work, but the main reason this was worked on in my opinion, was to fleece the tax payer. Imagine how many dinners, conferences, experts, lawyers, contractors, researchers had to be paid over the years. They eventually had to come up with something and that's the half bottomed result. If it doesn't work? Well, everyone already got paid and probably now work on something completely different.
If there is too much noise about this, they'll have a reason to fleece the tax payer again and go through years of "fixing" the legislation.
This is when you have unaccountable organisation (EC) without any bodies that would and could investigate corruptions and scams like these.
They could just as easily profit from shorting tech etc. True whales make money on the up and down.

> How is Apple allowed to disallow any other web browsers on their mobile devices? We already went through this with Microsoft in the past but suddenly it's different?

Microsoft is a monopoly, Apple is not. Microsoft compelled their hardware partners to not do business with competitors, Apple is vertical regards to hardware.

While I like protocols and interoperability, it’s hard to achieve that through antitrust laws because antitrust focuses on consumer harm and without monopoly power that’s hard to show. I’m trying to think of any anti-trust for non-monopolies or threat of monopoly and can’t.

Should my NAS have to include third party browsers just because they have a browser?
> So Java is not a bad choice. It's an excellent tech. I just don't have a use case for it.

The language is underwhelming, the JVM is great.

Same. This probably skews the stats at the bottom for agreed/disagreed with VAR since some people might try play this game to be correct.
More Python Projects That Can Be Built in Under 5 Minutes
I wonder how well this holds up to dust, pollen, UV, etc. At some point is the difference negligible? Every white commercial roof I've ever seen is much less white after some time passes.
I'm at a place where we've acquired a company that does something similar but through PHP/jQuery, and it's been a herculean effort to make any changes or improvements as there were no abstractions at hand. After many failed attempts at a re-tool/re-build, we've settled on showing a blank page that we then hijack to show a React page that's build on top.

New FE devs that come in now have a 6 month period where they must learn a new proprietary tech just so that we can circumvent what's already there, I would say that it's not a great idea if you have to work with other FE devs (who are not Full-stack) and if your app is of a significant size (YMMV I guess, we've had our own issues with GraphQL too).
Platforms should disappear into the background. The great benefit of the web is that it presents roughly the same UI everywhere across all manner of devices and browsers. (The big downside of course is that it's not exactly the same).

My car doesn't tell me who or what it's willing to transport. Yet.
I'm open to discussion. My inclusion of Netflix is based upon their ownership of content and distribution, last mile excluded. Which reminds me to mention: Comcast, and co, as well as the mobile carrier companies for inclusion. I'd definitely agree that Oracle should face more scrutiny but don't know enough about their business to say much besides the fact that they're starting to look like Yahoo and IBM. Facebook is a given.
Java is boring because its mature and just works. Plus many have a problem understanding how to do proper OOP.
Robotic Simulators for Reinforcement Learning
The quality of this comment is not what I'd like to see on this forum. Firstly, do you really have to participate in this derogatory, sarcastic tone? Secondly, transactions per second are cryptocurrency-specific, so your point (about BTC, I presume) is irrelevant. Thirdly, majority of cryptocurrencies belonging to unkowns is fine, what's your point? Lastly, some of those unknowns are criminals: again, what's your point? Please, put some thought into your comments.
Someone needs to compile a list of all this fringe tech that I see popping up in my feeds, almost daily now. I know there are techpress blogs that pump out articles like this, but there doesn't seem to be an authoritative compendium of such tech anywhere on the net. I could curate this by hand with 3 hours of free time and some Red Bull I suppose.

The reason I want this is because we seem to be swimming in innovation, but nobody to aggregate and make sense of it all, and `join-the-dots` of all this tech so we can make even bigger leaps with it. Also: A lot of these articles are great, but too quickly shoved into people's bookmarks and forgotten about, without any real action taken on them. Put simply: we are addicted to innovation, but with little action taken on this innovation!!

> Job hopping is a giant red flag for lots of companies

I noticed that after a year or 2 I get bored because things become a bit too routine. After the third job I decided to just become a midlancer (in a few years want to go full freelance) so I can hop whenever I hit that wall.
> assuming all their older devices were in the same state or had the same use cases. Replaced your phone battery recently? Who cares, you go slow anyway

Sorry to be nitpicky, but this is actually not the case.

The whole reason this was initially discovered was because someone on reddit ran Geekbench before and after a battery replacement and got a huge performance increase. Not telling users is inexcusable, but phones where the battery was fully functional continued to run at full speed regardless of age.

> You still can't trust them

On this point I 100% agree!
> my experience has been (at least the community) is quite proudly dogmatic on the One Right Way To Do It, for all values of "It".

This hasn't been true lately. Python is growing ever more complex.
I enjoy the "bitcoin is a fuck you to the rich" but mining/management/use of bitcoin/crypto are not for poor people or even poor countries, they use both as a resource and as a get rich quick scheme, deliver a lot interest but have no actual value beyond a half billion dollar pizza.
I actually like that kind of scaling in RPGs where you start out as powerless but become overpowered towards the end - Mage classes often tend to scale like that.
I apologize in advance for nitpicking, but since this sub-thread is about usage: it should be "deduced" not "deducted."
But it could be an opportunity to improve, as well. I would start by investigating how customer segments are converting. One hypothesis could be that you have more annual subscribers because more uncertain users are not signing up at all. Maybe the monthly plan is too expensive for testing or the messaging is unclear.
Language opinions are fun :)

I'm actually old enough that Java was my main language during CS. No Python...

Before that when I during my teenage years I got to lecture by some senior in IBM that showed how amazing is Java and it's the future. (That was 10! Years before I've attended)

And that's that's the thing...
Hype is all about "new" things. And after a while it dusts off.

HN had a lot of posts about good developers. usually it sums up as problem solving and human relationship. Never I saw a good developer of language N.
I never finished Oblivion, but as I recall, by far the most broken strategy was to just never rest, so you never leveled up. Enemies are scaled with your level, but you could get most of the benefits from improved skills, but not face stronger enemies that way.
This is one of the main reasons why I won't work with Java. Everything is much more complex and unnecessarily arcane compared to other languages.
No, and I dont think I owe anybody an apology for that.

My main objection was that some of the algorithms praised in theoretical CS have near pessimal behaviour on actual hardware, and have had so for a quarter of a century, yet these "details of implementation" were deemed a waste of educational bandwidth.

I've had a fair bit of communication with people in boths ends of CS education about that piece, and I think by and large most agree that I have a valid point there.

But nobody wants "Algoritms %03d" to turn into "Optimizing your code for $CORPS microarchitecture %03d", and modern architectures are horribly complicated, in particular from a performance point of view, so sifting out the most representative and relevant phenomena and finding a way of presenting them in education is not easy.

On CS TA told me that they hand out my article mid-semester, and ask the students to identify algorithms in their textbook which are robust or vulnerable to actual hardware performance. I'm torn between being flattered and thinking it is a bit of a cop-out.

As far as cache-oblivious algorithms go: I'll consider them when they prove they are worth their often formidable complexity.

Yes, it would be nice to never have to think about about page-sizes or cache-line widths and all that again, but if only people with a phd in those exact algorithms (many of which are patented) can debug programs which use them, the cost/benefit tilts.
>Try searching for "Earth" on Google and see what the top hit is. Is that really a fair ranking?

As shocking as it is Microsoft's "bing" does the same...
Some more: duckduckgo.com does the same as well. (ok it uses microsoft's stuff underneath)

To be fair I am surprised with the results.
I flipped long ago because of a stupid stubborn ui design decision chrome stuck with. In hindsight, if chrome listened to my (user) needs I would probably still be using it. Assuming the privacy bug hadn't caught up with me that is. (Who am I kidding? No one sane should be using chrome as a personal browser in 2021)

The biggest crime chrome made was to add a flag that enabled users to use a bottom address bar then completely remove it months later.

This felony was enough to make me export all my passwords and move them to another Chromium-based browser that had the single feature I had longed for. Funny enough it also opened up my eyes to bitwarden and haveibeenpwned. Maybe all this was sort of due.

I occasionally use vanilla Firefox for testing out ads and other links.
Just trying to find files relevant to some functionality is incredibly difficult without full-text searching all the files. Namespacing is fine but why must the entire path be reflected in directory structures?
Since Trump was banned from Twitter have you heard anything that he has said?

Whether or not you use Twitter and Facebook, that's what journalists spend their time doing, so one way or another it's affecting the news.
> Have you considered that perhaps file storage and chat rooms aren’t innovative ideas that deserve massive multi-billion dollar rewards?

I made no claim regarding what ideas deserve what. Simply that Microsoft is not losing power, by showing the kind of effects it can have on other businesses.
What jobs inquire about your financial history?

In the US, it would be both legal and common for federal government jobs (that require any sort of security clearance). Banking & finance (investment/securities & retail banking).And some jobs on the periphery of banking/finance, where handling PII related to finances is common.

I'm sure there are other places that run credit checks, just because they can (it is the US after all, we're king of treating employees like we're in a dystopian movie). But, there shouldn't really be a need.

That wasn't anyone's argument, I think you hallucinated all of that. The person I replied to said real estate has no value.

I did not say this, you hallucinated that too.

Supply chain threats and security solutions
I find it highly unlikely they couldn't solve this mystery for 250 years given that a similar insect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_cochineal was used for producing very similar dye in Central and Eastern Europe for centuries already at that point, and was one of the main exports of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (till the imported dye won over because of higher yields = cheaper price).

To this point the month June in Polish ("czerwiec") and the color red ("czerwony") are derived from the word "czerw" which means "worm".
Similar to how vscode is open source but all the important extensions (remote dev, CPP, Python,new Python LSP) are all closed source?

It's interesting tech stuff that's relevant to HN, it certainly caught my interest. There doesn't have to be a conflict for something to be a good HN submission.
Ask HN: Was Google Domains Hacked?
I have 3 domains that end in .app and all of those were changed the nameserver from Cloudflare to nsone.net.

I only noticed the change because Cloudflare warns me by email.

I have another domain that does not end in .app that still intact.

My e-mail is secured by 2FA, so it may be some kind of attack specific to .app domains.

Has anyone with the same issue?
Aside from Linus' reaction, there are some really interesting pearls in that thread, for example:

Regarding code style[1]:

> The more you make it look like (Kernel) C, the easier it is for us C people to actually read. My eyes have been reading C for almost 30 years by now, they have a lexer built in the optical nerve; reading something that looks vaguely like C but is definitely not C is an utterly painful experience.

> You're asking to join us, not the other way around. I'm fine in a world without Rust.

CoC was already brought into battle[2]:

>> I could be mistaken but you seem angry. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to read your own code of conduct, I don't think you need a browser for that either.

> Welcome to LKML. CoC does not forbid human emotions just yet. Deal with
it.

These ([3] [4]) messages have an interesting perspective about maintenance.

> I'm sure about one thing, the C bugs we have today will be
fixable in 20 years. I'm not even sure the Rust code we'll merge today
will still be compilable in 10 years nor will support the relevant
architectures available by then, and probably this code will have to
be rewritten in C to become maintained again.

Linus wants to see a real, working kernel driver instead of Android Binder[5]:

>Would there be some kind of real driver or something that people could
use as a example of a real piece of code that actually does something
meaningful?

One such trusted party does exist. It’s a non-profit and it’s called the Stellar Development Foundation.

It’s cryptocurrency, the Stellar Lumens (XLM) is trusted well enough to be in the top 15 cryptocurrencies by marketcap. It has years of history to look back at. It doesn’t have a inflation rate (0% inflation rate now + occasional coin-burns).

It uses orders of magnitude less electricity than bitcoin because it uses distributed databases instead of ASICS, transactions are sent and received in a few seconds (near-instant), and transaction fees are less than 1 cent (just high enough to disincentivized spamming the network). Compared to Bitcoin’s $250 tx fee and Ethereum’s $30 tx fee, XLM’s tx fees are very cheap.

Finally you can buy XLM on most exchanges since it’s been around so long.

Not screwing over ~9M wallstreetbets users, possibly resulting in a short squeeze, nets you millions of loyal customers for life. On top of that, the whole reason the stock is currently priced so high is the lack of available shares. Release slightly too much new shares and stock prices will plummet.

What you seem to be describing is "unspecified behaviour" or "implementation defined behaviour". If your program contains undefined behaviour the compiler makes no guarantees about how your program will behave.

Politics is just moral fashion. This is purely aesthetic. Cigarettes and cigarette smoke are icky and gross to politically important groups, especially modern white women.

Rob Pike filed this issue for it after the first incarnation of the article was released: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/36313
Google, Facebook, Dell, NSA, CIA, DoE (E=Energy), Airbnb, Palantir -- There are literally thousands of people applying for jobs to these companies and a really small percentage will be accepted. So it's not that you are unhireable, but you are applying to places where rejection is almost guaranteed. It's like betting on a number at a roulette table and wondering why you are losing money. The odds are against you.

Some ideas:
1) pick a smaller and boring software services company?

2) Travel abroad and find work there, where the health insurance is not such a big of an issue.

3) Try to make it as a freelancer(you can start at upwork and work your way up from there, start a consulting company etc)

4) Apply for a remote only positions

P.S
If you can afford it(probably not), get an appointment to a psychiatrist or a therapist, they can usually spot the problems you might be missing yourself.
The percentage of usage is actually unimportant (at least in the EU, I know it's not an EU news piece)
