My experience has been that LinkedIn and other social media necessitates promoting influencers who are almost certainly between mediocre and above average at their fields, never the best. There are a few exceptions, but in general if some so-called expert's "job" involves them constantly tweeting, poasting on LinkedIn, writing daily blogs, instagramming and otherwise releasing a non-stop supply of YouTube videos, then they probably have little expertise. Usually, you can find what they're trying to sell without too much effort. Those who can't do, influence.

There are of course meaningful people on social media who do have useful things to say. Some brilliant people in the tech world I know will post on their blogs every few weeks or post a few tweets each week. But they're spending the majority of their time actually creating things, not crafting tweets optimized to feed an algorithm.

YouTube is an interesting one, since it's an immersive medium. Some of the people with the best tech tutorials or "content" there will rarely or never show their faces. I think this is probably a consequence of not wanting to waste time editing, since again, they have real things to do outside social media. If a tech person is just talking to the camera for 10 minutes, I can do without it, and, again, usually they're trying to sell something (often of dubious value).

Very reasonable. Cameras for front collision avoidance need as much visual distance as possible, hence the auto high beam requirement. High beams = more night distance.

Tesla is hiring for a DSP engineer for electronic scanning radar, so the rumor is this is temporary (camera only safety systems) until they’re ready to deploy their own, more advanced radar sensor (trained off of the visual neural net) versus the crude Continental radar sensor they’ve deprecated.
Using their money ?
How about we talk about the top 10% instead? These articles reduce to “look at how much money these people have!” Okay, but so what? How does that effect ordinary people?

The bigger problem to me seems like the growing income disparities between the upper middle class and everyone else. When my family in Oregon complains about housing prices shooting up, I don’t think it’s Jeff Bezos that’s to blame, except insofar as he’s paying tons of money to knowledge workers who buy up housing in places like Bend. The stuff middle class people care about—skyrocketing costs of education, housing, health care, etc., seem mostly to be supply and demand problems where the upper middle class is both helping limit supply and inflating prices through demand.

The really bizarre thing is that the top 10% doesn’t realize that it’s interests are highly aligned with the top 1% or top 0.01%. Globalism, intense focus on education, etc., make the top 0.01% richer but also accelerates the divergence between the top 10% and the bottom 90%.

You must view the browser with JS and WASM as a unit.

The browser renders it's own GUI too, it's not OS native

The browser uses lots of resources too.

The browser is kind of a plugin to the OS and must be updated separately.

Java nowadays is pretty fast too.

Java VM serves a platform for multiple languages like Scala, Kotlin, Clojure.

Let's face it, the browser is the new JVM and a soon it gets the same permissions like the JVM to access the file system and such, we get the same problems.

Great article.

The worst thing is that these kinds of posts have a really negative effect on many people around them. So I think it's ultimately self-defeating for LinkedIn in the long run to foster this kind of environment. For me they just instigate a gag reflex, but for others it can just make them feel low and awful. And so they leave the site.

My wife has been out of the job market for 10 years (had kids, mother got sick and passed away, we moved for my job, she went back to school, but used to be successful in design/marketing @ a FAANG, studying now for UX research.) Anyways, very tough to get back into the job market. And now she goes on linkedin to try to connect with old job aquaintances and look at jobs and the like and it's all these people puffing themselves up like peacocks and it's just confidence destroying. Amps up the inner critic and self-judging in many people, comparing yourself to these people, and for what? Half of what is posted isn't even fully... real?

Work is work. It's great some people really love their jobs. But what I see on linkedin these days doesn't reflect a normal person's career focus.

I should clarify; I specifically meant being able to do stuff like write a high level sketch of a module, then simply run it, and implement missing methods and classes as you go. Similar to writing a red/failing test - then filling in functionality.

I suspect a image-like (as in lisp/smalltalk image) view of the code is needed for this to work well (hence the link to "persistent code" for maglev/gemstone).

That said, I do use pry/byebug a lot - but I there might very well be features I'm not aware of.
It's funny how this expectation had changed over time. In early browsers like Mosaic and Netscape, the expectation was that you'd enter a domain name or full URL and there would be a DNS query. When newer browsers incorporated search into the address bar, many of us considered this to be leaking information to search providers. For quite a while I disabled that feature.

I think you're onto something about showing off. You just won't hear as much relative to their importance about the projects led by entirely uncontroversial people who don't care about attention.

Another aspect is that in a lot of disciplines, a certain level of maniacal persistence increases your chance of success. To take the "mythical" 10k hours to mastery, it's a lot easier to get to 10k hours if you're not spending time getting in 10k hours of socialisation.

I say this as someone who myself would much rather code than spend time socialising most days - it's certainly not meant to imply that everyone introvert or who spends most of their time coding are assholes (that'd implicate myself...), but that there's a level of correlation between being good and spending lots of time practising and not spending as much time thinking about social niceties, and not everyone manages to strike the right balance.
This makes me wonder, where are the lobbyists/interest groups? Local e-commerce platforms are losing non-negligible amounts of money when people are ordering on AliExpress instead of locally - surely they have every incentive to pressure their respective governments to make AliExpress orders more expensive? On the other hand, maybe they are lobbying for their cause, but all the dropshippers are lobbying even harder in favor of AliExpress?

Many post on HN added value to my life, and it happens on a regular basis. As for posts shared on LI, I mainly feel awkward reading them. You know that when someone suddenly got active on LI they either got fired or are looking for prospects. It's just a kind of weird game, more so that people basically have to use their real names and reveal their employment history in order to benefit from the site, so they're particularly vulnerable. Everybody knows this, so they refrain from poking fun at them.

> Companies that use password managers are infinitely better off with one then without.

I second that opinion. I've worked in really large companies and I was blown away by the number of people who had {CompanyName}{number} as their password, where number is the amount of times the system required them to change their password. In a company with 6000 employees, we are talking 15-20% of all employees, including senior staff, engineers and manager with access to personal information of tens possibly hundreds of millions of people. This often falls into the category of "Nah, it's fine, I'm safe". And while there are circumstances in which you can feel secure in regards to your personal security at home and everything, we are talking large corporations with endless amounts of internal and external projects many are absolutely unaware of. Example: https://rtb-dsg.companyname.com which uses the company-wide ldap for authentication. Most people inside and outside the company have no idea what rtb-dsg is and it's better to keep it that way. So it's best to avoid taking chances.
I find this passage from a couple millennia ago most helpful. Other translations may give different nuances. People have struggled to handle death since the first people.

---

“Zhuangzi's wife died. When Huizu went to convey his condolences, he found Zhuangzi sitting with his legs sprawled out, pounding on a tub and singing. "You lived with her, she brought up your children and grew old," said Huizu. "It should be enough simply not to weep at her death. But pounding on a tub and singing - this is going too far, isn't it?"

Zhuangzi said, "You're wrong. When she first died, do you think I didn't grieve like anyone else? But I looked back to her beginning and the time before she was born. Not only the time before she was born, but the time before she had a body. Not only the time before she had a body, but the time before she had a spirit. In the midst of the jumble of wonder and mystery a change took place and she had a spirit. Another change and she had a body. Another change and she was born. Now there's been another change and she's dead. It's just like the progression of the four seasons, spring, summer, fall, winter.

"Now she's going to lie down peacefully in a vast room. If I were to follow after her bawling and sobbing, it would show that I don't understand anything about fate. So I stopped.”

It’s even worse than the headline implies.

You couldn’t prevent location tracking unless you disabled the numerous switches in settings and turned off WiFi as well.

The real damning allegation is that location data collected from google maps/apps and non-google apps was siphoned to all other google products through something that is redacted in the court docs.

>"So there is no way to give a third party app your location and not Google? That doesn't sound like something we would want on the front page of the NYT

Additionally this process was deemed so critical to Google’s overall revenues because of something else that was also redacted.

I actually spoke with one of the people at HN and suggested they implement a feature which lets you disassociate a post or comment from the author. I think this is very similar to how reddit handles it when you delete an account. All the posts/comments stay in place, but the author name of each item changes from "Bobsmith33" to "deleted user" - Seems like a great compromise for HN. Good (and bad) content remains, but the association factor is removed.
We can also try to break up Google into something more granular and see if it helps.

There are only three meaningfully "correct" recommendations for password managers as of today, depending on the use case: 1Password, Bitwarden, or KeepassXC.

1Password is fantastic, but expensive and closed source. Bitwarden is open source, but lacks certain auditing, team and sync features useful for enterprise. KeepassXC is excellent and open source, but with zero collaboration features is only suitable for self use.
You use VVV for local development. Ansible is certainly something you can use to deploy.

Based on the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database, the word sira is the common word for all Proto-Malayo-Polynesian, Proto-Chamic and Proto-Malayic for salt not garam [1]. Indonesian Aceh language, however, diverged from Chams around 1st century AD has word garam for salt. This indicates that garam most probably a loan word. Apparently, the most common words for salt in Austronesian language family (largest family of languages in the world) are sira, garam and masin/asin. These three words exist in modern Malay-Indonesian languages namely garam for salt, masin for salty and sira for salt-lick.

I'm more and more worried about a supply chain attack on LastPass/KeePass. To the point that I'm skittish about upgrading them.

It feels to me like we need someone with huge resources, like Microsoft/Gooogle/Apple... to buy them and apply their methods against this attack.

For example, where are the binaries built? Who controls the accounts used to upload the installers? Do they regularly pay security teams to try to find vulnerabilities?

To be clear, I'm not worried about the code, but I'm very worried about the downloadable binaries.
