Because producing tools with php is VERY fast, and it runs almost as fast as a scripting language could. It's simple, and efficient. One of the language that requires the least amount of code to produce a given result. Plus the longevity of the project.

The question is why would anyone NOT want to use php in 2021 for non desktop developments?

I also prefer pure php, with no frameworks. I think it's best to build your own tool that suits you.
I doubt that because there is a social stigma to prostitution that other minor vices don’t have. For example (hypothetical) if my wife found me using recreational drugs she would be pissed and force me into counseling, but if she found me with a prostitute it’s game over.
This is what you get when congress delegates its lawmaking power to the executive bureaucracy.

Congress itself is mostly too dysfunctional to micromanage on that level.
Punishing women is currently unpopular. For example, women get less punishment for the same crimes compared to men. I expect that punishing women has always been unpopular as women tend to be seen as needing protection or vulnerable and men tend to want to protect them.
To me a build tool is something like CMake. This article sounds like someone made up a bunch of terms to see what he could get away with, as a joke.
Just a heads-up, the Valve Index is significantly better in terms of tracking and overall performance compared to the Quest 2. I've had both. Unfortunately the Quest 2 really is a much better value for your money, because of course it is subsidized by Facebook's extremely invasive data collection as well as their attempts to dominate the VR market.

I'm not trying to make any moral judgements for you, but I did for myself. I sold my Quest 2 within weeks of buying it, for a Valve Index instead. I wasn't even using my own Facebook account as I don't have one, but I was literally waking up out of guilt for owning a product I have serious ethical problems with.

You could even buy a used Valve Index to save money if that's a priority!
Brooklyn came out with similar decriminalization a few months ago or so - as well as trashing a thousand past warrants for such I think.. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/brooklyn-da-to-dismiss...

People don't know what they want, or rather, they know what they don't want, and it is what we currently have. "most" Americans would like a reasonably priced open market for healthcare, not the currently entrenched healthcare monopolies. Going any control over healthcare to this government is foolish, has already resulted in what we have today.
> There's even federally mandated shower flow rate (2.5 GPM max). Just leave this shit up to the states.

from your link, some states can set lower.

| To conserve resources and save money, some state and local governments mandate even lower GPM flow rates than the federal regulation.

| Examples of national and local regulations include:

| * New York City and the state of Colorado require a maximum of 2.0 GPM

| * California, Washington, and Hawaii require a maximum of 1.8 GPM

would you have states set a min flow rate?

There are several valid reason to do this - concerns about customer solvency and making sure you aint gonna crash tbheir house of cards architectures to name a few.

The beauty though, is that law enforcement now can't even know before plugging in and scanning a device whether they'll actually be pwned.

They have to use the exploit to figure out if the phone can nuke that hardware's usability in the future or integrity of any locally stored, non-offsited data.

UNLESS Cellebrite can produce publically for a court of law proof that any potential exploit isn't a valid concern, which means spilling implementation details about how the device works.

Nobody can continue to shut up AND maintain the status quo. Either everyone clams, and Signal can sow reasonable doubt without challenge, crippling Cellebrite's value as a forensic tool. Or someone has to open up about the details of their tool, which, like it or not, will speak very loudly about the ways and methods behind these exploits.

The Checkmate is implied, and oh my, is it deafening.
How is this sarcastic? I hate when info like that isn't accessible on mobile devices.
Since you're creating an interface for python algotithms please make the interface public well documented and easily extendable snd allow it to have different algo per meter.
I thought Yegge was rather specific about what he thought. He specifically mentioned a bunch of things (Java, emacs, AWS, Android, browsers) that take the approach to deprecation that he wished to see.

I would sum up his ideas as: "If you offer a service I pay for, and deploy code on, you should not break my code while you still offer the product."

I also don't think he'd have bothered to mention one or two minor things. His examples were rampant and incredibly bad, like breaking their own offerings.
Can HN please add a filter for these increasingly lame "Google cancels all the stuff" posts?

Yes, Google has cancelled services, but they've all been free things that they had every right to decide would never increase revenue. Why should Google have to keep everything they ever built running for ever?

If you pay for services from Google, then it's a completely different story. We've used Appengine for 12 years now, and every time they've decided to deprecate services, there's always plenty of notice, a superior replacement, and usually lower costs.
Can you give an example or link? Not very useful comment otherwise.

Tom missed the biggest factor in VPN companies' exaggerations - that they call themselves "VPNs" because of the positive connotations of "Private", even though they're just proxies and have nothing to do with VPNs.
You may have been correct 20 years ago, but I don't believe this argument holds water nowadays. HTTP APIs are everywhere from being required to control small embedded systems to interacting with large complex daemons. These usecases are exactly the space where Rust/stdlib is meant to be used.

Rust has included TCP and UDP in the standard library* because it was rightly recognized that these protocols, like stdio and filesystem io, have become fundamental to how most modern software interacts with its environment (system, IPC). HTTP today has also become fundamental in a similar manner. I argue that it is time that we treated it as such.

* as apposed to leaving them as an external dependency, like mio.
I've been using vite for building a new web app and have enjoyed the experience so far.

One thing I'd love to be able to do is to do the classic thing of rendering things mostly as html templates on server side, but serving up JS for particular page components. I also don't want to use node for SSR if at all possible, but seems to be the only route available.

That way I can easily support non-js users of the app (bing struggles to index my site at all). It used to be a lot easier to do this, but I guess it's out of vogue now!

Sure but organized crime runs on profit margins, and study after study has shown that by and large organized crime can't fund itself without the profits from drug running.

Nothing else is as lucrative, and most secondary markets they get involved in tend to be to supply things the criminals want - i.e. guns and sex trafficking.

There is a bizarre trend in these conversations to make a defeatist argument along the lines of "the cartels can never be stopped" that doesn't seem to line up with any of the actual evidence.

For example, gun running into the US just isn't a thing - gun smuggling is what organized crime takes out of the US - but the money needs to be USD to pay for it, and ultimately Mexico just doesn't have a lot of that without drugs.
Sorry, what's wrong with California regulating emissions?

People have rights. And the most straightforward way to cater for these rights is to split people into groups. If 90% of people in Alabama don't want weed legalized, don't force it upon them. Save the vigor for what's really important.
Window redraws feel native. It's just moving and resizing that feels weird to me, and I'm sure they'll be able to figure it out soon.

We don't have a good comparison right now... because allowing a good computation is considered a bad idea. Selling alcohol to people who obviously are going to drink and drive, people who are aggressive and drink is restricted in some places though.

The issue is that we expect most people to have a drink once in a whole and continue with their lives as usual. We can't realistically expect recreational heroin use with no long term issues.
I don’t understand how the DA can decide this. Is it not a matter for the legislature?
Society has no claim over whether or not I (or anyone else) choose to cause permanent brain damage to myself.

That's the point: drug prohibition is inherently immoral because it denies an adult human being agency over their own body. It's mine to destroy if I see fit; it's mine to build it I see fit.

There is no victim, for example, if I decide to cut off my finger. No one has been wronged, and no crime has occurred.
I dislike feigned surprise as much as you do, but I don't see it in GP's comment. My read is that it was a slightly satirical checklist of how academic incentives can lead to immoral behavior and sometimes do.

I don't think it's fair to say "by feigning surprise you're implying..." That seems to be putting words in GP's mouth. Specifically, they didn't say that we shouldn't imagine a better world. They were only describing one unfortunate aspect of today's academic world.

Here is a personal example of feigned surprise. In November 2012 I spent a week at the Google DC office getting my election results map ready for the US general election. A few Google engineers wandered by to help fix last-minute bugs.

Google's coding standards for most languages including JavaScript (and even Python!) mandate two-space indents. This map was sponsored by Google and featured on their site, but it was my open source project and I followed my own standards.

One young engineer was not pleased when he found out about this. He took a long slow look at my name badge, sighed, and looked me in the eye: "Michael... Geary... ... You... use... TABS?"

That's feigned surprise.

(Coda: I told him I was grateful for his assistance, and to feel free to indent his code changes any way he wanted. We got along fine after that, and he ended up making some nice contributions.)
It is software that many of us are perfectly content with possessing on our devices. Cellebrite may not want it on their devices, but it's not like we consent to Cellebrite copying over our data. Holding us or Signal responsible for this is akin to holding a dog or its owner responsible for a burglar getting mauled - it would be one matter if the dog mauled a guest, but you can hardly blame either with unauthorised entry. In this case, exploiting this can be considered a form of digital rights management.

As for tampering with evidence, your claims are certainly overbroad, otherwise one could consider Signal's vanishing messages and deliberate lack of logging to be tampering with evidence. In any case, an individual is hardly responsible for those actions; they presumably did not deliberately seek to destroy Cellebrite data since Signal may choose to do this entirely at random.
Human trafficking is different than kidnapping. The former is the forced distribution of persons for criminal acts while the later is the act of taking persons against their will.
Pretty sure that this is putting the cart before the horse. Sex workers has been legal in Australia for some time and I'd be interested (and surprised) to see if "human trafficking" to Australia is higher.
Really? Drugs are a lot more dangerous than sex.
I'd amend to:

"... planning on recording the event to show it on YouTube for ad revenue and Internet fame."

In this case, the offender's friends are benefiting from the research. I think that needs to be made important. The university benefits from this paper being published, or at least expected to. That should not be overlooked.

Yes. Women get trafficked to the Netherlands and Germany and prostitution is legal. Nevada too.
No, it's because the "capabilities" built into mainframes aren't accessible by users, only the system administrators. The granularity just isn't there.

"forced distribution" is the same thing.
I beg your pardon; i do not insinuate anything on your part: I agree with you. Investigate this and see if there's been any wrongdoing or just honest mistakes and correct those that were made... at the professional, academic level; that certainly seems proper.

I am snarking about the apparent disconnect between the previous suspect activities that have apparently not yet resulted in that kind of oversight thus requiring this kind of sanction from the kernel team. I am snarking because the "poor us" these folks already pulled on LKML shows any debate is pointless, as this is firmly a matter of identity politics already.

In other words, yes, some people do prefer that flavor.
I just completed a migration from AWS to GCP. My experience was previously entirely AWS, but GCP has been really nice. GCP has fewer features (e.g., no scheduled filestore backups), but GKE is far and away better than EKS and the overall console UX is far better as well. There’s also generally less to understand and thus misconfigure, and far fewer half-baked features to wade through to find the happy path (I’ve spent way too much time using CloudFormation).

TST already has this feature in the context menu when you click on a tab.

I can't speak to Azure, but while AWS has a policy of never discontinuing services or features, even if they are replaced by something else, whereas GCP does discontinue entire services (although if it is generally available they have to give 12 months notice according to the terms of service).
In the USA the prosecution can decline to bring a case, and make it policy.

The DA is often an elected position and can’t easily be fired.
I agree.

Note that IIUC they are trying to replace/make a tankless water heating system, not a central big boiler with a big tank at the basement.

Anyway, there are electric tankless heaters that use a resistor and are much more simple than their solution. And the efficiency is probably 100%. I can't imagine where the other 4-6% goes.

Here in Argentina we mostly use gas, but electric showers are popular in [some parts of?] Brazil. The big resistor is in the showerhead, and it's very weird to see an electric wire connected to the shower ...

ElectroBOOM has a video about this type of showers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06w3-l1AzFk
Ideally, you should have an idea of what you want to do before signing up for Startup School, though it's free so nothing stopping you.

YC also has a free library:

https://www.ycombinator.com/library/

Some of the same materials, just a bit more free form/choose your own adventure.

If you have no idea at all what, specifically, you want to do, I recommend you start with the library and move on to Startup School when you're a little more focused and ready to commit.

Denunciatory rhetoric makes for less interesting internet discussion and so is off topic here.
You just cant stop lying. 11 RCT say otherwise including a stanford study just posted on nih.gov. I guess you have to die in a civil war to wake the fuck up.
I do not doubt it - as there are plenty of people in the US without wives to force them and who would gladly hand out info to those on how to escape forced labor while seeking the services of volunteer labor - social stigma or not.
I would rather have it set at town building code level.
GCP doesn't really support IPv6 at all. Sure you can terminate IPv6 on a load balancer and then proxy the connections over IPv4 back to your instances, but you can't get native IPv6 on an instance.

It's that type of shortcoming that leads me to believe Google does not see a future in this product.
Yes because of the supremacy clause. That’s not really new? Many states have acted on it but the federal laws still fuck things up for individuals and businesses
Ah, thank you for clarifying.
The federal government is horrible at competing in the free market when it comes to pretty much any good/service. For medicare to have a chance, they would need to eliminate the private market for healthcare. No one that can afford private healthcare would opt for government healthcare. Those who truly rely on government healthcare I assume wouldn't pay the monthly premium. We could defund the war machine but neither party wants that. There is the option to just printing the money but there's no free lunch and that inflation will show up in healthcare prices and the broader economy. Lastly, This type of top-bottom control of the healthcare market is not pragmatic and will lead to a whole host of inefficiencies and other problems that would create a worst situation then what we have right now.

It’s not much of a government. The DA of Manhattan is far more powerful than the borough president, who mostly doles out patronage jobs and pork projects.
Not everywhere. I live in a well run suburb of a well run city. Same with family, who are spread around the country.

There’s plenty to complain about, especially in “other places.” But except for when I lived in Chicago and San Francisco, municipal government was fine. And that includes other parts of Illinois and California.

If you literally can’t think of any reasons, it may be the case you’ve only been exposed to sex-positive feminism. It’s worth reading some of Dworkin’s work to get the other side of the story on sex work and pornography: https://jacobinmag.com/2019/08/andrea-dworkin-last-days-at-h.... Maybe start with “Right Wing Women” for a primer on how men hijacked the sexual revolution, before getting into the material that describes the brutality and dehumanization in the sex work industry.

You don’t have to agree with her take, but it’s worth engaging with it. She’s a brilliant, if deeply pessimistic, thinker.

We also can't realistically expect recreational alcohol use with no long-term issues either: alcohol kills about 100k people per year in the USA.

That's not a reason to ban it. The issues are caused by the user, to the user. If users are causing issues to others (violence, theft, drunk driving, et c), those are separate and already-illegal things that can and should be enforced. Arresting people for possession is basically like arresting them for pre-crime: "some other people who possessed similar things later went on to commit actual crimes, so you go to jail out of fear" is not a sane approach.

The possession and use of substances for the human body is plainly the wrong place to legislate: the war on drugs in the US has been a costly, racist, unmitigated disaster.

Wild to me that when it comes to drug offenses, the law is turning away from punishing the buyers and towards punishing sellers. But when it comes to the sex industry, it's steering the opposite direction.
To you, perhaps, but I wholeheartedly disagree.

Add one more: Anyone publicly attacking Signal's privacy in the future is painting a very large target on their forehead.
There are a few hundreds listed at https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Signal_Identification_Guide.
Very true unfortunately.

Previously most of the people who were on WSB at least knew what they were talking about and all the dumb jokes were known to be jokes. Made a lot of fun stories, because the people who did exceptionally dumb stuff got sucked into the hype of people who knew what they were doing winning/losing big.

When $GME happened the sub got flooded with people who thought that buying $GME was a social movement and caused the quality of everything to go down a ton. It's gotten better over time and massive user growth has happened before, but not on this scale. Honestly the place is totally different from where it was even six months ago, which is unfortunate as the culture was really something.
The fundamental tension is between efficiency and security. Trust permits efficiency, at the cost of security (if that trust is found to be misplaced).

A perfectly security system is only realized by a perfectly inefficient development process.

We can get better at lessening the efficiency tax of a given security level (through tooling, tests, audits, etc), but for a given state of tooling, there's still a trade-off.

Different release trains seem the sanest solution to this problem.

If you want bleeding-edge, you're going to pull in less-tested (and also less-audited) code. If you want maximum security, you're going to have to deal with 4.4.
