My response to you is to say that although it is nice to help users in the short term, it is more important to increase the number of web users who know that the web poorly serves some of their needs, specifically their need to read, to discover things to read and to publish plain-text writings.

(The main problem with using the web to publish plain-text writings is that unless the person doing the publishing is an expert on the technology, in which case he will use something like Github Pages, there is no cheap way to publish a few paragraphs or a few dozens of paragraphs where it fill find a decently-sized audience without enriching some intermediary and subjecting most of the people who over the years will read the writings to either advertising or paywalls.)

I offer no criticism of the web as a way to buy things online or to apply for a passport online or such.

I am avoiding saying that the web is bad: the web might be bad only for a small fraction of web users. I don't know enough about how web users differ from each other to say how large the fraction is. I do know enough about software and how site owners will respond to incentives to be able to tell that the web is bad for users sufficiently like me. Well, I'm fairly certain, too, that the web is severely sub-optimal for blind users (and I wonder if attempts have been made yet to tell blind users about Gemini and to make it easy for blind users to get started with Gemini).

Someone could write a whole book about how seemingly insignificant decisions in the design of something like a web browser (e.g., decisions in the design of web standards) can have profound effects, but I think in this case it is better to show than to tell.

Improving Gemini might eventually show a lot of people that the web is a sub-optimal solution for some of their needs. Note that Gemini need not completely replace the web in a user's life: one session with the improved Gemini might get the point across to a new user (and the user might do nothing but browse Wikipedia during that session).

In contrast, the strategy I originally replied to, namely, a collective of web sites, might significantly improve the experience of many web users, but will cause approximately zero web-tech non-experts to become dissatisfied with the web.

I have no road map for how a large numbers of people dissatisfied with how the web serves some of their needs will eventually find their way to something better. I figure it will take many years. I do believe that increasing the numbers of dissatisfied users is probably a necessary first step.
This shows you fundamentally don't understand how money works in the economy.

Lets say you give that money to Bezos. What does he do with it? Unless he literally builds an Uncle Scrooge money bin and hoards physical $100 bills, having the money allocated to Bezos in no way prevents it from being injected directly into the economy.

Lets say we hand Bezos $1B today, what does he do with it?

Puts it in a bank: Banks want deposits so they can loan more money out at a higher interest rate than they pay to the depositor. Bezos putting money into a bank will cause interests rates to go down slightly and an extra $1B in loans to be issued, and people borrow money to buy things immediately.

Buys stocks: For Bezos to buy a stock, that means someone else sold a stock. Now the cash is in someones hands and they have to do something with it.

Buy treasuries: Treasuries are used to finance the federal debt, which is money the government is already spending now. Most of it goes to salaries of government employees or direct payments such as social security, both of which are spent by regular people for necessities. The rest of the budget is used to purchase things or to pay interest on the debt, and interest payments put cash in hands of people who then have to do something with it.

Well there are different cases of resilience. Creating a separate service for some part that have the potential for network traffic spikes can be fine and can make the system more resilient against that.

But you are right in that it makes the code resilience worse, as it makes logic discovery and overview harder.

I year ago I worked on media decoding code both on Mac and Windows. Documentation for media API sucked on both platforms, but it sucked in different ways.

Apple quite frequently left important details and it took me few weeks to understand why the decoding code misbehaved in one particular case. With Microsoft I run into this only once and it was straightforward to fix. Note that in both those cases with Apple and Microsoft StackOverflow and similar sites was not helpful and even harmful retrospectively since that gave wrong direction to dig, but this is another story.

On the other hand Microsoft documentation was more shallower. If one knows roughly what to do, then things are OK. But by just reading one can not learn how to solve problems. Guides were not helpful, as those were at too high level.

Surprisingly with Apple, when they did described API, they gave helpful hints what to do next. Plus API was named more sensibly.

It will definitely be more secure, but probably drastically less open, since there won't be any GPL code underneath for people to demand copies of.

Fuchsia, once it reaches the level of polish required of proper Google products, will be as closed as iOS. And security will be the justification for it.
Glue code is almost always uninteresting, incidental, boilerplate. But as the author points out, it makes up for the large majority of a code base because it grows quadratically with the number of components that need to be glued together.

A powerful language to describe what needs to connect to what (similar to the Unix pipe) could perhaps make the glue code much more obvious and concise. Whether that's achievable is the question the author is asking, and apparently trying to answer.
Without more context and the ability to verify this I have to assume that you made it up. The event is too extreme to stand without corroboration; at least it would be where I live.
Missing the most important one; being able to communicate security issues to non-security people. It doesn't matter that youre a super hacker if you cant explain why people should listen, or report your findings without the devs feeling like it's a personal attack.
Fuchsia has a lot of good features technically, there is no doubt about that - it was time to revisit how an OS should be designed given the usage patterns of devices it powers. I hope the capability model will put to rest the insanity that is SELinux (just look at the amount and complexity of SELinux rules in AOSP).
The license choice for the kernel is more controversial, but no one expected Google to ship under the GPL.

It isn't that it's nefarious but rather that people who adopted Microsoft late rationalize that the company has a maligned history (some deserved, some not) by declaring that everything is different now. This appears in conversation after conversation where some current Microsoft enthusiast declares that everything was crap, but now it's wonderful.

But a lot of things were already very good to excellent. I mean, one of the things you mentioned was developer friendliness yet the company has forever had industry leading developer relations. They've always had great documentation (there are going to be some developers who will still struggle and fail, but that isn't the fault of the documentation which can only drag them so far). SQL Server has been a great product for literally decades. NT was actually a great OS for the era and vis-a-vis its contemporaries. Microsoft has always been very "open" in fields where they are struggling. And on and on.

They did a lot of great things in the past along with bad things. And right now they're doing great things along with bad things. Every org is a mixed bag.

I think if they can nail the low-end or mid-end phone, and get enough volume out there to make an ecosystem possible, ramping up to high-end phones is the easy part. It's not like the factories manufacturing these phones don't know how to make high-end phones.

But the problem with $800 phones is people can't afford to buy them unless they're daily driver ready. At $150, you can buy it as a testing phone/a spare phone, and start building apps for it.

Windows Mobile was murdered first and foremost by the lack of wider support and a larger app ecosystem. Getting as many phones out there as possible is the key to avoiding this with Linux phones.

Ask HN: Can outsourcing depress salary of engineers
Weeks ago while I was having lunch with my friends, we find ourselves in an interesting topic, "Cobra Effect" , basically it boils down to what people believe as good policy turns out having some unforeseen negative consequences.

We basically shit talk a bunch of examples like nimby,anti vac etc,but one of the thing that we talked about that really stick with me after the conversation is the topic of wfh.
Alot of people favors wfh, and I am no different, as I am especially in love with the amount of time saved from the shitty commute I had , but one of the potentially negative consequence that we discussed was the possibility of outsource.

This is in fact quite an old concern, and one that that has been disproven for the good last 2 decades, I think some older colleagues was telling me back in the days outsourcing developers was all the rage 20 years ago, and it has prove to be mildly successful if not irrelevant toward the current total compensation and work model of software engineers in US.

However now that many companies are exploring full wfh, I am very curious in what is stopping them in hiring people in UK or people that live in low cost of living area in US?

Cost of living is 2.46% less expensive than oakland

while their salary is almost half of bayarea

https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/London/
https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/San-Franci...

I don't believe the difference in salary is a matter of talent, and so the question would be what does employer gain by hiring people living in SF/new york/seattle?

Has covid artificially accelerated the remote conference technology such that we will see company re experimenting outsourcing again? And how will that impact the overall work model and compensation of US engineers in general?

I am curious in what everyone thinks

In case anyone's curious, here's the ban message I got:

Disconnected: You are banned from this server- IRCCloud is no longer welcome on freenode (2021/6/13 12.46)

I'm not sure why this is happening now. It was almost three weeks ago that IRCCloud warned about the risks of channel takeovers on Freenode.[1] It seems rather petty (not to mention incredibly self-destructive) to ban all IRCCloud users because of that.

In the end life is not like CTF and we had guy doing pentest like a CTF, where I wanted more broad approach and was trying to explain to him what we want to cover but well I was not the one pulling the trigger and my boss was paying so the guy did what he thought would be the best.

From my point of view he missed a lot of low hanging fruit that I wanted to fix. Then he found bunch of BS issues and marked those as critical. My boss at first got mad how we can have such critical issues but after explaining what is what, we don't think about hiring that guy again.
This is a fun fact, actually. Most politicians, even in 3rd world countries like mine, have at least one degree. In rare cases they don't, they get honorary phds in politics and/or sociology.
I don't think this is the be way it works. Maybe at the first time I will not attribute to malice if it can be explained by incompetence.

But that individual will either way land on my "observe a little more carefully"-list which might give me more data to decide if they act maliciously or just incompetently.

What isn't successful at all is when you constantly suspect all others are doing everything for the most evil reason possible. Because this is really not the case in pracise and also has a cost that you need to carry.

Edit: although in this example one could argue explaining it by incompetence alone will need some major mental gymnastics.

which is exactly why learning to read these things (the full vector, I believe is what the author meant rather than just the resulting number) is useful when looking at a list of CVEs. Will it tell you the full story and everything you need to know? Of course not. Will it tell you what the impact for your business situation will be? Nope. Does it help you initially filter out the network-accessible no-privileges-required vulnerabilities that apply to your situation because you aren't local on the host and don't have credentials? Yes, that's where it's helpful.

My employer chose to use CVSS vectors to avoid discussions about whether something should be e.g. low/medium/high impact, and frankly I disagree with them. We still have discussions while it limits our ability to represent the likelihood of exploitation, the impact, or the resulting risk. So I'm fully on board that CVSS is very often not representative, especially the final score but sometimes also it just doesn't ask the right 'questions' (the parameters) to reflect what the problem or impact is. But I can still see what the author meant about reading a CVSS vector specified for a CVE.

Commodore’s Assemblers: 6502ASM
So, the problem is that Android is open source in concept and name only, not in practice: Code is developed in the dark, and then published later, it's not a collaborative environment. And the important part is that Google fully controls what direction Android development moves in. So they're going to design it to advantage themselves and disadvantage others.

So the first problem with that is that the work to remove their influence becomes progressively harder, and the bigger problem is that if you want to maintain app compatibility, you basically have to accept nearly everything Google decides to do as is... you can't really "just fork it" without losing the main perk of running Android: Running Android apps.

As it is, most Android apps won't work on a device without Google Play Services, because Google has pushed app developers year after year to switch from depending on Android platform APIs over to Google Play Services APIs for basic functions like location.
