Sounds a lot like the saying that it's easy to keep honest people honest. But that's about keeping people to rules that, for all practical concerns, have been there forever. Regulation is often dealing with quite the opposite. When you decide one day that it's not ok anymore for a chemicals plant to just dump spent reagents in the river it's about changing behavior, not about preventing bad habits to form. That makes it much harder.

Another question is how closely the behavior in question is related to the income streams: the chemical plant won't sell less if they avoid unprocessed dumping. Chances are they can even convert part of their waste into sellable side-products. And if a hotel chain had a little side income from selling Wifi communication metadata to ad networks they could stop doing so any time without changing the tiniest thing in their core business besides some minor numbers in the balance sheet. But Facebook doesn't have any business outside of ad targeting and telling them to stop some forms of data collection almost seems like an attempt at winning over Henry Morgan to peaceful cargo transport.
> Every single JS lib, pipeline tool, framework is on npmjs.com (react, webpack, bootstrap, expressjs, and 100'000s others). It's the ecosystem that every contender would love to be.

This is only a strength if you accept that those libs (and their dependencies, and their dependencies' dependencies, and so on...) are adequately scanned for malicious behavior. If you don't accept that, then the incredibly deep dependency graph that is typical of frontend projects these days is a liability.
I agree with you about the leadership role of CEOs in a firm.

I’m curious about this, “.. CEO who takes enormous profits..”

Are you implying CEOs are orchestrating their own compensation? Or, are you casually referring to CEO compensation packages?
You can dictate that you will be working from home even if your current employer still has the choice that you will not be working for them.
> I just know very well that Ryan is redoing exactly the same mistakes as Node with the same obsession he had on "EPOLL"[0] back then that will end up in a new fiasco.

"epoll" is a Linux API for listening on multiple file descriptors. Different platforms have equivalent APIs, and these are normally core of any scalable non-blocking I/O network program.

Can you elaborate why do you think he had an obsession with "epoll"? More importantly, can you elaborate what was the fiasco? Epoll is still used under the hoods by Node.js (through libuv) and many other network servers such as Nginx
don't think so

would likely just end a run and collapse of that "lender"

most "lenders" are doing way over-collateralized loans
The article forgets at least one strategy, which consists in considering that the program IS the specification. That's how Coq is supposed to be used. Written in Coq, properties of the program/specification can be proven. The equivalence between two programs/specifications can also be guaranteed.

When done right and the environment is well controlled and understood, it gives programs with no bugs, zero, nothing, nada, such as the CompCert compiler. https://compcert.org/doc/index.html

Of course their is still the possibility of a bug in the prover/code generator, etc... But in practice with mature systems written in safe languages, this is rather low.

It's just "Java".
Trauma and desensitization would be my unscientific guess.
This is so cool! I found it extremely easy to edit a site on mobile, which is probably the hardest thing to get right.

Very well done!

One note though, keyboard shortcuts don't work (pressing delete after clicking on a element doesn't delete it for example)
The description of the Copenhagen fire is both hilarious and tragic. So much lost.
Imo there's a strong tendency for people working in tech/business or with high ambition in general to suppress their emotions as they affect the decision making.
However, I'd rather make suboptimal decisions if that means a richer life, deeper connections and a stronger sense of wonder. Trying to be as logical, rational as possible makes life dull and mechanical.
In the end as Kierkegaard said, "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.".
I thought briefly that I would not bother with VGA but use an X Server on a remote system to enjoy the Ultra. However then you would not be able to use the keyboard, which probably is half the fun? And does it have an optical mouse?

I used to have a Sun 3/60 at the end of the 90 gifted to me. It had a huge 21" black&white screen, and an optical mouse with two mouse pads with different grids, so you could pick the one you want for your preferred scroll speed.
Tl;dr:

“The researchers found no evidence of boys learning toxic masculinity traits from their fathers—or their mothers. Instead, they found a very strong link between the relationships men had with other men. They noted that men with clear toxic masculinity traits tended to have far fewer male friends than other men and the kind of friendships they did have were rarely close.”

The article didn’t offer any speculation as to why that might be the case.

Edit: the stuff in quotes is a direct quote, unedited, from the article itself, so not sure why you would downvote that, I’m not stating my own opinions, just quoting what was written. Don’t shoot the messenger!
Those are correlation studies. Such studies cannot tell would you live longer if you were to force yourself to improve your social interactions.

Being married at least has a tangible causal link: support in health-related emergencies.
Covid pandemic was preventable, says WHO-commissioned report
Yes, that's what I meant when I said I'm all for space exploration. But, most of the reasons to leave the planet Earth from us general public have been in the line of "I'm fed up with all this and that's why I have to go to the Mars to start anew" i.e. mostly running away from the problems or fed up of the system etc.

That being said, in my opinion, we should definitely pay more attention to saving this planet rather than finding new ones and doing the same thing all over again.
You're absolutely right in implicitly arguing that social class isn't exactly determined by the amount of money you have.

You're also correct that traditionally the proletariat (the working class) were those who sold their labour. By a very strict definition, anyone who earns a wage is working class and that would include CEOs (as you are doing explicitly). That definition is deficient and doesn't relate to reality.

Traditionally, the bourgeoisie were the class or classes who employed the workers. The capitalists own the capital and capital goods (means of production) that are used in industry. The petit bourgeoisie are those who own small businesses, such as shopkeepers or lawyers. They were middle class because they were neither working class nor part of the nobility.

Today many companies are publicly held. By this, I mean that stakes in the company are sold publicly. Many companies are also part-owned by the public in the sense of state ownership. This kind of relationship would falsely suppose that members of the working class are members of the bourgeoisie. You agree that ownership doesn't exactly determine class since your criterion is the selling of time or labour.

Those today who have power over the factors of production are very often employed when previously they employed themselves. You call these people working class. I find that very bizarre.

I believe that a managing director of an investment bank is a person who represents capital absolutely. Their job is to head an organisation whose aim is to manage capital and to generate or bring in capital in the process. To identify this person with a factory worker is confused.

Photorealism shouldn't be the end goal. Watch a B/W television for a week and you won't be missing the colors. Photorealism is much like sugar in that it is addictive, but you won't miss the sugar if you didn't eat it for a while.
Wow that's pretty funny. I never knew Shepard's flight was suborbital. Just verified it on wiki. I guess that was pretty effective PR!

University's claim on thesis data prompts reluctant retraction
Show HN: InMoat – a moat for your inbox
Hey HN! Excited to share InMoat with y'all - hope some of you find this email tool useful.

I got tired of dealing with unsolicited emails (eg. annoying sales pitches, random newsletters, constant follow-ups, etc). The ongoing stream of irrelevant emails were distracting me from seeing the important emails I actually needed.

So I built InMoat to:

1. let me manage my incoming email preferences and filter out unimportant/non-urgent emails.
2. not have to keep any user data along the way.

And now my inbox is completely under control! Been in private-beta since Jan of this year and now slowly opening up to more users. Would love to hear your thoughts - feel free to share any feedback. Thanks!

Look at the python ecosystem and you'll see that it's not the case. Because of its compatibility commitment, a standard library cannot evolve much and its features end up being replaced with external libs.

Basically, abuse these days is being told something you didn't like or agree with.
It is obvious social media is unsafe for anyone(children, lgbtq, women) using it. We should just ban it. Allow only media companies to have a voice over the internet, it isn't for people to share what's happening in their part of the world unless it's on the media's agenda. How did we plebs get so far in the first place? Allowed to voice opinions against the ruling class online, smh..

The argument still holds: a vegetarian diet requires way less plants (and thus killing of small animans) because an intermediary is eliminated. Cattle and other animals are good at converting low-grade plant food and leftovers into meat (and milk). But it's more efficient to use insects for that, or to just grow the high-grade plants already.

> * Names on doorbells (yes, visible from the street).

You need these because somehow the concept of apartment numbers does not exist. As a result, mail and food delivery in large apartment buildings is interesting as well.

It seems pretty bizarre compared to all other countries I've ever sent mail to.

> * People using "loyalty cards" left and right, letting the merchants track their behaviour even if they pay with cash.

I'd argue that there is a pretty bimodal distribution of the population when it comes to privacy: Some people don't care at all and will use these cards, while others will fight every single bit of data stored about them tooth and nail.

> * Giving a stack of papers (including ID copy, salary statements etc) to a real estate owner to apply for a rental.

What's the problem here? Paper is inherently safe, unlike digital data. /s

Well, at least faxes have been officially declared equally safe (or unsafe) as email, which hopefully will finally kill them off as the communications technology of choice of the administration.
I 100% love it - this is super fun!
Those would've been my guesses too, but Java's had first class functions in the form of anonymous classes since 1.1, and as the other commenter mentioned reflection takes care of a lot of macro use cases.
Less soy and less internet.

Improvements are awesome! That’s why I linked to the text/enriched RFC. I really wonder if anyone who downvoted actually read it, or just emotionally reacted.

I don’t think that HTML emails are really an improvement: full-fledged HTML engines bring in too many opportunities for exploits and privacy loss. They definitely add capability, but at too high a cost IMHO.

In general, I think that our industry would benefit from asking ‘can we?’ less and instead asking ‘ought we?’ more.
As someone that is currently estranged from a parent, trust me no. That is not the case.

> [...] unless you still do everything with through-hole components, you have to plate the holes which takes you several days of futzing with nasty chemicals anyway.

There are copper press rivets you can buy at most PCB supply houses. No need for plating, although you do need the die set and press (although a drill press can be used). Furthermore, one can just do it the old fashioned way, with a soldered wire through connection. That's how I've done it for years.
I settled on the triune brain model as a good-enough approximation for my needs in relation to this (whether it's factually accurate is another issue). I would then categorize my thoughts and subsequent actions based on that model (mainly limbic vs. neocortex). It's pretty easy to tell them apart with some high-level introspection. Then, I'd short-circuit any emotional thinking once I spotted myself engaging in it, and injecting rational thought into those times when the limbic system would normally be in control. I'd spent decades of life not doing this, so it took a long time for this to not feel weird, but eventually it became natural.

Once the big reactive emotions (e.g. anger) were dealt with, I turned attention to the more subtle influences. I think there's a middle ground of thoughts that are a more complex or a mix of emotional and rational (think things like national pride, identity, career progression). That's a harder job and a more involved topic. In fact, I can't say I've completely got that done, or even fully mastered the first part. The caveman is always there, of course, and perhaps the best you can hope for is restraining him.
Just doing the needful.
I think its simple, we don't have as much to lose as we get older so we relax.
I love this app's approach to responsive design: just show the "safe" area and let people throw elements where ever. So liberating.
I can't see how they're still protected really. If you're in organized crime in Washington DC then surely you get in contact with the ransomware gang and offer to pay for any relevant names.

Even if they pay the ransom those people are not 'safe'.
I agree that that's kind of an double standard, but copyright rules including those similar to DMCA are very widely accepted in almost all countries outside the US, too, even though not all enforce them. [1]

In a simial vein I can see myself being in favor of some basic privacy rights applicable worldwide, too.

Again, you are not dictating if it is up to them to decide whether they accept it or not.

I am not native English speaker, but the dictionaries are rather precise that authority is a necessary ingredient of being able to dictate something.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/dictate

"to give orders, or tell someone exactly what they must do, with total authority"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dictate

"to issue as an order; to impose, pronounce, or specify authoritatively"

If you don't have authority over the company you can still think you are dictating, but that's not how the company views it.

The company view is "are you too much of a problem for the benefit of keeping you?" not "John said it so we must do it because he has authority around here".

That’s what the author was referring to as stated in the article.
It also says the study “found that there is no connection”, which is a very bold claim compared to eg “found no connection”.
Sounds like the ACT Matrix
No, but I don't think the author is alleging that happened, I could be wrong
Ah if the files are in version control you're golden, but for personal tracking using a git repo seems a bit overkill and not frictionless enough. The email idea isn't bad though, simple and effective!
Hence my hedge, mostly.

Though this is well outside my area of expertise.
A laptop? That's way too much. Joking aside, clearly a laptop is the right way to go in most cases, but there is a certain appeal to using a terminal like an iPad with a remote machine build machine. You have long battery life and you can use a very beefy VM for running your dev environment.
Or the other way around. US is the puppet state of Israel ;-/

Newspapers.com is fascinating if you get the full membership for 6 months, you'll never run out of things to read.

It is amazing how everyone's address was part of the story until about 1970. The stories of people who lived in our house before us would bring you to tears, along with joy.

If you're into genealogy, it is a good resource to tie threads together with. Turns out my grandparents were the first ones married in a new church, back in the day, for example.
The courts are not going to push up towards the upper limit of that unless someone does something extremely shockingly bad, because otherwise they have no room for a graduated response if something worse comes along.

It'll take time - if politicians see the fines that get applied are too modest, hopefully there will be steps taken to firm up the criteria or increase the amounts.
Truth is, once registered at an address in Germany one is fully transparent to and trackable by all domestic actors - public, malicious, predatory. Any privacy hysteria in Germany boils down to one of: "Americans will watch us" or "Slavs will steal our possesions". Then there is the cherry on the top "Slavs will use American system to steal our possesions".
The Japanese work ethic of working yourself to the bone is puzzling to me. A culture driven by deep traditions, they need to stop once in a while and re-evaluate some. Not all traditions are worth keeping, like working all day every day, or using fax machines - another tradition that is refusing to die in Japan.

Personal, and no repo at the moment. The code is a huge mess, from scattered multiple generations of wrappers around Selenium's "click this element" functionality to custom accounting code to bit rotted parsers for old receipt email formats, etc. My thinking was largely "as long as I have the data I can make the code better later" and that later has yet to come. I don't have any passwords in the code at least but I think I do have email address whitelists/blacklists for email management stuff and lists of merchants for credit card transaction categorization...

I'll see if I can maybe make a repo by the next time there's a thread about how customer hostile banks are.

> regarding 1000+ deps, yes that's a bad thing but it's not really about language, it's rather about people.

Not sure that I agree that it's about 'people', except in the sense that every problem with languages/their ecosystems are a people problem because people created them; but I 100% agree that it's not about the language.

My take on the situation is that we have 2 separate issues:

1) Auditing, which is basically an economics issue. It'd help a lot if someone with pockets full o' money were willing to fund a couple mil of auditing infrastructure for npmjs.
2) Devs pulling in lots of packages (which pull in packages, all the way down), which _may_ be partially mitigated by a better base language (no more leftpad, etc). Personally I'm skeptical of the better runtime/language solution.

I think one thing that might help is if there was some automatic way of marking packages as 'safe' in the sense of no side effects, no writing to files, no network activity guaranteed. Such packages could be installed with confidence, and have a lower priority for auditing.

Another possible solution would be a cultural shift among developers to prioritize reducing dependencies with every release. I'd love to see that in a release notes, how many packages were added/removed!
