>The internet isn't a "surveillance network". It's just a network.

I posit that the internet is a surveillance network. Not only because its surveillance is a now primary function, but because it was always designed to be susceptible to various forms of surveillance.

It should be clear to programmers that the flaws in the internet and related protocols are numerous and tied to it's fundamental structure.
This webpage discusses a number of them: https://secushare.org/broken-internet .

Additionally, the economic incentives adjacent to the internet and related protocols encourage the use of fingerprinting, as they don't otherwise have a means of dis-incentivising unwanted messages (this manifests itself in spam, denial-of-service attacks, botting, etc.)

>Also, what on earth does email or internet traffic have to do with any of this?

That paragraph was to make fun of the parent comment (crazygringo's) statement: "Also, I'm not sure where people are getting that Amazon is bad at privacy". the parent commenter seemed to suggest that it would be a good idea to share a dangerous amount of information with an organization like amazon simply because they are trustworthy (or rather, simply because they have not been proven to be untrustworthy) despite the fact that they have no incentive or regulation to prevent them from abusing that information in the future.

I joked that if crazygringo was so eager to share his personal information with third parties, then he should share his information with a stranger like me, as I've not yet been exposed for abusing my (non-existent) client's information.

>They use secure protocols in the first place, and they all already rely on large companies like Google and ISP's. And Amazon sure already knows everything I've bought on Amazon.

The fact that you would make a comment like this is unsettling. Think about what you are stating. Email is secure? Secure for whom? How does TLS prevent your email provider from reading your emails? How does it prevent the government from reading your emails? How does TLS help if connections can be downgraded to insecure and broken protocols? How does end-to-end encryption prevent attackers to see what you're doing when they need only know what domains you access? How does public key infrastructure prevent MITM attacks (Hint: it doesn't, it just outsources the problem to certificate authorities)?

The exploitation of the internet and related protocols is not some theoretical tsunami. It is a global flood that is occuring right now a million times a second under authoritatian regimes around the world.

I agree that many of these protocols already rely on large companies such as service providers; The fact that a transaction of information between two parties on the internet requres such a great number of
arbitrarily powerful third parties is why we must dismantle the existing infrastructure (and replace it) in order to free ourselves (and future generations).

The age of blind trust will end one way or another.
I assume this is a joke, right? A real shady url certainly wouldn't use https.
> I always wondered why there is no filter on dating apps for pets

What were the steps between having this thought and diving into the project?

I’m guessing there’s a valuable lesson there.
Okay I poked around and I was able to register and use the thing. I'm not really a spreadsheet guy but this thing lacks virtually every feature I've ever seen a spreadsheet have. I get that it's likely very early on, but maybe you should have waited a bit more before trying to get more exposure.

EDIT: Looking a bit closer I'm more convinced this is some kind of CTF challenge?
No, and NFT is not a positive for me.
The Twelve Factor App
This is a meme in my family as well. I always took it as a mockery of affectatious formal speech. I never thought of it as a jab at the nouveau riche let alone of the Victorian era, but it seems plausible.
> 0 VALUE C : CAB TO C - C / ; or possibly VARIABLE C : CAB C ! - C @ / ;

This is wrong. It should be

0 VALUE C 0 VALUE D
: CAB - TO D TO C D C / ;

or

VARIABLE C VARIABLE D
: CAB - D ! C ! D @ C @ / ;

Incidentally, that's exactly how I implemented DUP, DROP, and SWAP in StoneKnifeForth:

var X # 0 var Y # 0 ( temp vars )
: dup X ! X @ X @ ; : pop X ! ; : xchg X ! Y ! X @ Y @ ; ( SWAP/exch )

(The weird names are because only the first byte of the name is significant in SKF.)
How to save time when hiring a designer
Must admit my comment is spurred by the first few words but my god Dreamweaver was so good in the early 2000's.

I actually got introduced to it in ICT lessons at high school.

Oh Adobe. The memory of their software is so nostalgic. Don't get me started, I'll be talking about macromedia shockwave next...
Why do you consider it fundamental? Are there examples where it fundamentally does more than saving you from typing out the canonical method name? (This is for `apply`, I agree that match with unapply is actually language syntax and not sugar.)
Tried it on https://news.ycombinator.com/. Malwarebytes instantly blocked it. LoL.

Congratulations! You have confessed to being as awful a person as AGM! Enjoy your cancellation!

Yeah, that's hyperbole. Apple shouldn't have hired AGM. But soon things that are acceptable today, like admitting as you did that you have a filter, may not be.

I guess I am not caught up on hip terminology. Can you explain what this means to someone who authored his first web site in 1993 on a NeXT Cube what that means?
I tried to use it on an 8-bit AVR one time, and the native sqrtf function was faster!
Given that kstrauser specified "an easy way to launch a single Amiga app in a window on my Mac," an Amiga emulator that only runs on Windows -- however good it may otherwise be -- is probably not in fact what they're looking for. :)

(Edit: I see that Cloanto does have a somewhat cryptic page for macOS, but the way I read it, Macs can only run the open source UAE that I gather Amiga Forever is built on top of. So https://fs-uae.net might be a better place to investigate.)
When I got my iPad I searched for a calculator and as you said, all the ones I found were ad filled. I have found the App Store store search to be quite poor at finding new apps.

I’m glad I can now have a clean calculator for my iPad atleast, thanks!
i was in the first cohort of FB users in 2004. i remember myspace, friendster, digg, etc. i still use reddit and have fb and ig accounts but i haven't posted on either in over a decade. TikTok is the first truly enjoyable social media app I've experienced. yes it's terribly addictive (hours scrolling sometimes) but it's actually social (as on display here) and therefore successfully connects people. it's probably gonna go to shit soon (lately i see a ton of derivative or spammy content) but at least it reaffirmed (like back in the day when i watched everything on ebaums) that the internet can be delightfully fun.
I mean not really. I have 2 one hour meetings per week. One is a 1on1 with my boss and one is with my team. That is about perfect
TikTok is the greatest creativity tools I've seen in years and I am fascinated how people are trying to downplay or outright dismiss it because of their nationalistic or political feelings.

It's like watching fundamentalist trying to preserve their purity when their kosher brands are racing to imitate the features of the forbidden brand.

Hearing the "underage girls dancing and lip syncing, no thanks" line repeated fills me with a similar rage that I get when I hear some racist stereotype.
meme went wrong and escalated quickly sums up TikTok
They resigned is incorrect. Hearsay is when one person is reporting what another person has said, which isn't the case here: it's coming from the source. Rumor also does not seem a good word to fit this situation when it's coming from the source.

Not to mention that the Chief Medical Officer of British Columbia, Dr. Bonnie Henry, came to the same conclusion even before the national level bodies had decided. Dr. Henry implemented the strategy by stopping second vaccinations so more people could get first vaccinations.
> Non-tesla charging stations are even worse

No, the fastest charging cars on the road today are CCS cars and so far none of them can make full use of a 350 kW CCS charging station.

The Porsche Taycan and the Audi e-tron GT have peak charging speeds of 270 kW. The Lucid Air is supposed to have a peak charge rate above 300 kW. The Audi e-tron charges at 150 kW but its charging curve is flat to 80% so it ends up being one of the fastest charging EVs. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 peak at around 225 kW and stay above 130 kW to reach 80% state of charge in 18 minutes.
Fun, good job.

What is your point beyond being argumentative and not providing any substantive value to the conversation. You're free to find a place and exercise their process for entering country legally. You're also welcome to leave and figure it out on your own. Regardless, whatever country you live in has rules. If its the US, you can change things with voting.

Beyond that, I see no value in the points you're making here.

Ahaha I'm still stumped, any hints?
Definitely not a CTF challenge. The product is still very early on and a lot of features are hidden/hard to find (that's one of the reasons the signup isn't open).

rust-embed is one: https://docs.rs/rust-embed/5.9.0/rust_embed/trait.RustEmbed....

This macro lets you embed an entire folder of assets in your binary at compile time, to simplify distribution.

Taking the concept further, I could also imagine build macros that compile Typescript or SASS files at build time, or generate data structures from a Protocol Buffers definition file, or in general operations that ingest non-Rust source code and use tools outside the repository.
Phoronix benchmarks: Linux 8% faster than Windows on AMD 5900X
That's really interesting, I'd wondered if that was feasible! A few years ago I needed to send myself notes and URLs from a work computer to look at later, so I put it into the browser as https://< my website >.com/index.html?saveforlater=note%20to%20myself

When I got home I'd search the server logs for "saveforlater" and retrieve my note. Though it might have been faster to just write it on a slip of paper.
Low interest rates also play a big part.
> JIRA was replaced by GitHub issues

This is absolutely... not the case.

Sure, for some kinds of projects Github Issues might do, but for anything "real" Github's issue and project management is a serious regression.

These tools are not replacing anything, but addressing broader and broader markets. They lower the barrier to entry and bring more people into the fold (perhaps at the expense at having a lower ceiling of functionality).
I have one. Not only that, the switches are external to the keyboard so nothing for the debris to fall into. Still.

You know how many keys the keyboard has? Come on man.

I want to put the keyboard in the dishwasher and call it a day. Honestly, I'd like my laptop to be dish washable too but that might be a little too farfetched.
“Disappear” doesn’t necessarily mean “murder and hide the body”. It can also cover harassing people and completely disrupting their lives by throwing them in jail for a while for no particularly good reason and then not telling anyone until you release them (possibly having beaten or raped them in the meanwhile, and extracted promises of future regime-approved behavior).

Requiring that the police make public who they have arrested and why ensures that person’s family and friends, and especially importantly, their lawyer, can find out where they have vanished to and why, and bring it to the attention of a judge and the public immediately if the arrest was nefarious. This way if the police want to use disappearance as a harassment tactic, they have to escalate all the way to “murder and hide the body”, or they will eventually have to face justice when they finally release the person and reveal that they had been holding them the entire time in secret.
Only if you're a Marxist and limit your world view to what you can see through that lens.
The problem seems to be that all browser development teams consist entirely of users of the second group.
I equate this "swinging pendulum" to be more akin to optimization than just back and forth between two foci. Imagine that the problem space lies in a multidimensional landscape and humans are trying to evaluate (explore) in various directions to see which works the best. Usually, it sticks and its an obvious solution. But many things are a regression. As technologists, we should strive to have optics for this sort of thing - sometimes old things are actually better. We went down the wrong slope and need to walk back to the previous peak and try again.

Those who do not understand this tend to stick people into two buckets and then start an unending argument streak. Recognize that going back is 100% foolproof by definition - hindsight is perfect and going forward is a toss-up. If you can evaluate and have a good measure for current vs. old, don't be afraid to leap backwards. Startups should exploit hindsight and they do.

There are also stagnant local optima that we need to really go out there to find a new peak. These we coin as revolutionary technologies that change history forever.
Oh believe me, I’m not trying to justify it. The App Store‘s search capabilities seem not so good and a bit exploitive even.
> Back in the early days of web hosting I recall that a customer had a domain name that was literally as long as ICANN would allow at the time. It was very nearly a full sentence. I don't recall the limit

RFC 1034 specifies:

"Each node has a label, which is zero to 63 octets in length."

And:

"To simplify implementations, the total number of octets that represent domain name (i.e., the sum of all label octets and label lengths) is limited to 255."

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1034

If that's been extended, I'm not aware of it.
So…who exactly do you buy from, then?

That's a semi-serious question; the "Amiga Documents" site linked in the post you're replying to seems to cast Hyperion as the (relative?) villains and Cloanto as the (relative?) good guys, but it seems if you want a version of AmigaOS released this century, that means Hyperion.
The Web has always been distributed.
Ever hear of Web proxy cache? Squid existed in the 90s.
Ever wonder how Linux distros have had so HTTP(S) mirrors before IPFS? Copy the content with wget and now it's distributed.

There's like 50 people who use IPFS.

In front end JS frameworks there is a tendency to render your site on the server, then also ship JS to the client which then takes over the rendering of the page and adds interactivity.

As you can guess this adds a lot of overhead.

Partial hydration allows the developer to specify which parts of the page have interactivity and only those parts of the page are made interactive.

What leads you to believe it is not?

As for false positives, a cluster like that seems unlikely give they had a less effective vaccine overall and in terms of protection from variants. If they are false positives, I'd bet on sample or protocol contamination, not a random clustering.
Fun fact: when we started compressing our analytical events (furry JSON arrays with lots of context) we've dropped about 60% of our total inbound traffic. I was afraid that compression will eat client's battery, but we eventually got a reverse effect: saving energy on radio part, being WiFi or 4G/5G.
Well, the topic has come up on the internals forum from time to time, e.g.:

https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-procmacros-impleme...

I don’t think there’s an active working group though.
Pattern matching does not work if you use an enum

List<String> list = cons("a", nil());
switch(list) {
case Cons<String>(var car, var cdr) -> ...
case Nil -> ...
}

Nil is typed List<Void> which is not compatible with List<String>.

You may be able to use extractors as the inverse of the static methods cons() and nil() but that adds more boilerplate.

Disjunctive enums like in Rust or Scala 3 is a simpler way to define ADT.

If I may: homo sapiens has self-destructive tendencies, which we acknowledge and for which we sorrow. But we love them anyway, and wish to see their continued survival, if it happens. We accept that populating another planet does not fix our psychosocial problems, but it may help us get through the great filter.
Haskell's runtime is just better for pure FP than the JVM. GHC's optimizations and general TCO go a long way.
I‘m talking about desktop software for personal computers, not infrastructure software or services or anything. I trust the software developer and I trust apple. There’s a signature/certificate chain between those two. It’s fine.

Of course that‘s not acceptable for some people and for some use cases but it is for me.
Please keep it, I'm going to get an Amiga as soon as I can afford to buy a place do I have somewhere to put it :)
Is it lucky? Yes, but so is everything else, the great part here is you took advantage of the opportunity and I hope you keep doing that.
Honestly that's probably the only thing I would use either of these for.

I actually use opencalc and found it by looking for open source calculator.

Some thoughts about how you could boost traffic:.

- Do more keyword stuffing
- Add the word calculator to the title maybe free also "OpenCalc - Free Calculator"
- Have many people download the app to boost it's ranking
Here's a technique for revising and improving prose that has no analog in programming: reading the text aloud to yourself.

This is the best way to fix a first draft, of short texts at least, without having to wait for it to cool off first. Often an email must be sent quickly, with no time to set the message aside. So always before I hit Send, I invest a minute to pronounce the text aloud, or at least under my breath while moving my lips.

I'm often amazed at the obvious typos I catch this way. As well, my oral fluency -- which appears to come from a whole different place than my written voice -- can often improve entire sentences with better word choices or figures of speech that emerge from my mouth spontaneously as I speak the text back.

Voilà! A much better second draft of the message in a very efficient manner.

And yes, I read this post aloud before I pressed "add comment." I hope it doesn't betray me.

> I agree that stating that TLS does not garuntee security. But, plain unencrypted HTTP does mean insecure.

No, it does not. These are bold statements made without evidence that your personal preference should override the threat model of information owners -- that they must worry about something they have looked at and chose not to view as a threat. I once had a website that had Hebrew drills, so you could look up the construct forms of various nouns and other grammatical information. I did not care if an attacker in a coffee shop or other public network was trying to intercept that site and give a victim incorrect Hebrew words. It was not a threat in my threat model. So I did not use https. My website, my information, and I know the threat model to use. My site would not have been more "secure" if everything was encrypted. There would be no meaningful benefit to anyone from me doing that, and being a security professional, I was not interested in security theater, but only actual security.

> We should _never_ expect regular non-technical users to have all of their threat models in mind

Correct. That is why the threat model of the information owner is what determines what a site serves. Information owners generally do have a threat model in mind. It is, after all, their information, their website, and their security policies that matter. They are the ones in a position to decide whether they care if their http responses are altered or not in targetted attacks on public networks. Obviously a site that accepts credentials or displays sensitive information is very different from a site that displays verbal patterns. The fact of the matter is that in many cases, there is no need to care and no real security benefit to encrypting the site.
It's been years since I saw the movie. But the parent's description sounded similar to what happened.
>> Where is the judgemental advice that we don't want to hear (and is probably politically incorrect), but we really should hear anyway?

> I'm not sure what you mean with 'political incorrect'. What advice would you reference which is probably political incorrect?

Not the OP, but working backward from "politically incorrect," an example may be advice that assumes or advocates for aspects of traditional general roles. Such advice could be both politically incorrect yet valid and useful for a large majority of couples.
Well, there really isn't, because the moderators are so far away from the day-to-day conflicts. Rather like how living under a distant emperor and his unaccountable mandarins tends to mean less day-to-day drama than living in the wild west, where it's easy to attract the attention of the local big man.
I don't think that's the right takeaway. There were a ton of assumptions going into that +$100k cutoff, including that the initial exercise price for your bag of options would be less than the fair market value for a new grad's initial stock grant at FAANG. The emphasis of the article wasn't a particular number, but that startup options can be a little more valuable than they look, so it might be worth actually doing the math on some of the better offers rather than blindly going to FAANG.
Not sure if this passes the sniff test.
This is not my experience. I’m Hispanic and most Hispanic mini groceries, while they have vegetables, are loaded with very unhealthy food.

A lot of education is needed to educate people on food choices once more options become available. Just because we ate that food before doesn’t mean we have to keep eating it, especially in a much lower calorie lifestyle.

I suggest you read the original work, as it contains other excerpts from other writings of his.
