Same excitement here. I'd love to see anyone(Brave or others) chip away at my Google dependencies, even if they charge me for them. I already love Brave as a browser, so here's hoping search pans out.

I don't mind a company profiling me. A lot of Google's cross interacting products work great(Gmail to Calendar and Maps, for example). I just don't want them advertising to me, or selling my data. A guy can dream...
Tales from the Ice Age (2018)
What's really weird to me is that is sure seems like non-super-famous non-rockstar teams (so not, like, Carmack & friends) in the 90s could accomplish a hell of a lot with maybe 1/5 as many people as the same thing would take today, and I don't know why that is. Today you give me the spec for a program that a team of a dozen, including the office manager and an intern, did in the 90s in a year, and I'll tell you you'll need 50 people and 18 months, and I won't be wrong (if anything, the time estimate will be way too short). And this isn't just me, I look at team sizes for some products and wow, the WTF factor is high. Or there'd be like a five-person team but they'd write a whole damn GUI toolkit or new language or something crazy like that in the process of building their product, and it wouldn't even take longer than doing that today with a huge team and a ton of off-the-shelf software and all our modern "productivity tools".

I'm not really sure what changed, though.
That wouldn't be a real vacation, full stop.
> People want a browser with an ad-blocker, and are too lazy to configure it themselves.

It's always shocked me, but this really is the case.

I make a habit to install an adblocker (if they consent) whenever using a friend's computer, and have had many thank me for doing so a week later, saying what a huge difference it is - but none had thought it was worth the "effort" before.

A fun one is to look at how taxation affects growth.

All the sims I’ve seen have it set that lower tax rates equals more growth. This also reflects then opinion of one side of the political isle.

It would be super easy to change that so higher taxes means higher growth to train people to believe that.
I think localization & background tasks are more or less 100% to the benefit of the end user. Web analytics was just an example of more functionality that goes unnoticed because it’s not hurting performance. I’d agree analytics is building more adtech, though I feel like that’s a cynical glass-half-empty framing. Analytics have also helped huge numbers of sites to improve UX by understanding how users behave and where they get tripped up.

I think it's quite the loss for the US to allow a foreign company to gain controlling interest in such a cutting edge firm. Some of what they've built I'd have to imagine could be of very real national interest as it relates to any of the military applications.

Being able to validate consistency of a repository without needing additional files is a worthwhile goal. We also validate MD5 sums of hashes when downloading, despite them not being trusted (so they can only reject on failure). If there is an invalid signature, it should fail verification whether we trust it or not.

The other goal of the design - with the subkeys - is to be able to start signing repositories with a new subkey, without having to distribute the new subkey to users out-of-band.

The talk is unfortunately not understandable due to inadequate audio quality. It's also not the right medium to bring this across, you'd want to have a paper of up to 3 pages.

gpg has the same distinction between valid signatures and good signatures, though you need to distribute the key out of band there.

I don't see how this can confuse people. Nobody else should be implementing this specification.

Show HN: My round-robin task rotation Slack bot
This is a Slackbot I'm building that picks people for tasks in a round-robin rotation. Choose who's turn it is for code review, to do QA, run some script, etc... It requires very little setup and works with arbitrary users, usergroups, and channels. It has a confirmation flow where it asks picked people to accept/decline and can be configured to retry. Its completely free for small teams.
I believe the solar system actually cycles from below the plane of the galaxy to above the plane of the galaxy. I've heard numbers between 25M years and 40M years. Debris on that plane could shake comets loose from the oort cloud. Other theories on dark matter support the idea that crossing through dark matter could increase the temperature in the cores of planets, leading to increased seismic activity.

Thank you for slacking, sincerely.

Management tends to set a bar for effort based on how hard our peers work. In a competitive environment this can lead to an ugly race to burnout. By straining to meet expectations, devs inadvertently increase the pressure on each other to perform - higher and higher - to the point that 60+hr weeks are normalized.

By doing the minimum, you're pushing back against that and helping to keep the bar in a reasonable place. It is really a favor to other developers (and in many cases to the company, since burnout can destroy whole projects in the end).
There is an epidemic of naivety and irrational fear pervasive in society right now.

Even "data" and "science" is subject to emotionally or ideologically-driven narrative and/or subjective perception.

This, against a backdrop of our current "big tech" which has demonstrated wanton disregard for individuality and autonomy in favor of centralization and manipulation.

There are a few voices of reason here. Hopefully more will speak up.

It is the very creation of SYSTEMS that pose the greatest risk to individual liberty and the course of society.

Once the systems are in place, they can evolve. They can be leveraged or weaponized.

It is past time for ethics and limits in tech. The creation of these "pass" systems is extremely naive, and forms the basic enabler of a technocratic tyranny.

Your personal autonomy is being increasingly removed.

You are approaching a reality where some (many in this thread) naively want you to accept that you are inherently dangerous, untrustworthy, and unprivileged - until some central "system of authority" grants you "privilege" to exercise "rights" that are being removed.

No thanks.

Reject the overton window shift.

>They mention “performance/area” as being dramatically better than Cortex-A75.

The P550 pref / area based on Intel 7nm equivalent to TSMC 4nm / 3nm that is better than the ARM Cortex A75 released in 2017 on TSMC 10nm.

Number using Intel CPU's 7nm, normally Custom Foundry of IFS tends to offer lower density but higher flexibility. So this is more like a best case scenario.

I am also suspicious of the Intel 7nm number. There are some possibility this is actually an Intel 10nm renamed to 7nm for custom foundry partners. ( Intel 10nm being equivalent to TSMC 7nm )

Pretty reminiscent of Grace Hopper's nanosecond lecture [1]

Certainly there are reasons why a feature might slow down a system beyond the branching (for example, if it requires you to load other resources)... but really, the issue is that as pointed out in the youtube video. Software companies very frequently do not care about performance.

Trains actually get a lot closer to container ships than I had expected. With double stacking you can get up to about 1000 TEU per mile of train. Big container ships are generally about 20,000 TEU.

"The risk" is a weird, ambiguous ghost in the machine. Maybe it's a result of digital paranoia setting in over the past decade, or maybe it's our response to digital rights abuse. In any case, it's always a good thing when mission-critical infrastructure is democratized like this.
Finland also beat the crap out of Russia in WW2.

Russia's strategy in Eastern Europe and more recently in Crimea was not to fight, but send in little green men with rifles and organise elections. That's how the USSR has installed regimes of their choice in its vassal states which later formed the Warsaw Pact.

NATO and thd US has a new bogeyman called China now. Russua has its own version of NATO called the CSTO and is part of the SCO or Shanghai Pact along with China and their satellite states.
I'm not sure why you think it's relevant to make such a remark without a shred of evidence regarding my thoughts.

> Critics have long argued that Google and its tech industry peers favor white, Asian and male workers in hiring, promotions and pay.

According to Google's 2020 diversity report [1], 51.7% of its workers were white, down from 54.4% in 2019. Since the US is 61.5% white [2], that means whites are under-represented at Google, and increasingly so. How can one then argue they are favored? Why did Reuters not do even the bare minimum in examining these claims critically?

If you're working this job and you started it in the office, you actually chose to breathe the same air as the coworkers you seem to so dislike. Saying otherwise is deceiving yourself.

No one is forcing you to pretend interest in small talk. If you're not interested in it, say so instead of pretending.

Are you afraid you'll lose your job over being antisocial or rude if you don't pretend to get along with your coworkers?

You might be happier if you look for a job you don't hate.

(Also if you stop seeing other people as beneath you, but that's a taller order)
Now you are moving the goal posts to "web as a platform". Web as a platform is not what you originally said and "web as a platform" is done well with web pages.

People talk about electron being 'the only way to create cross platform apps' and ignore fltk, juce, qt, gtk, wxWidgets, tk and a whole host of other solutions, not to mention making a local webserver, opengl guis etc.

When someone only knows javascript they might want to work with electron, but no one who is going to use that software wishes it was made in electron. That's the bottom line, people don't want it, it is a selfish decision that creates terrible interactivity and grossly bloated software.

That is quite remarkable. Not so much in the defection away from the Tories, but in the trust it places in Labour.

Labour has been conspicuously ineffective for quite a while. Most prominently in its muddled objection to Brexit (in large part because it was actually led by somebody who was pro-Brexit, but of an entirely different kind), and also in its muddled handling of anti-semitism in its ranks.

As horrific as the Tories have been, "at least it's an ethos". Labour has just failed to be a party. They finally ditched Corbyn, long after he had led the party to utter defeat and setting them up for a string of defeats after he was gone.

Having Bercow presents them an opportunity to make a statement about who the party is. They have a fine habit of throwing away opportunities. It's a big leap of faith for Bercow to think this will do any good.
I think causal inference is succesfull where it is impossible do an intervention to force a randomized trail on your population. Classical statistics like in agriculture that you set up a design and field trail to find out the interactions and additive effects is sometimes not possible. Say you want to check the effect of some economic policy change or medical treatment that would be unethical to refuse to some part of the population.
This describes my situation pretty well. Working remotely makes "getting away with it" all too easy. Unfortunately the effect it's having on me is a great deal of anxiety. Though the anxiety is probably a combination of many factors: lack of social life/friends post-graduation, feeling stuck at a job I don't enjoy, wanting to move out of my parents' house but not knowing where to go.
Is Google chat using more resources and draining perf? The UX of a chat app is somewhat of a straw man here. None of the chat apps you mentioned “can barely fit in a single machine” or “destroys performance”.
The perception that US manufacturing is dead is mostly just perception, if you look at the actual numbers.

Before the big dip caused by covid, the value of US manufacturing output had never been higher. [1]

Even in inflation adjusted/real value terms, US manufacturing output is 50% higher today than it was 30 years ago.

My guess is that the perception is cause by a few factors:

- fewer people are employed in manufacturing than were in the past because of improved manufacturing technology/productivity

- other sectors of the US economy have grown at a faster rate than manufacturing (tech for example) which means manufacturing represents a smaller share of a bigger pie

- the US is no longer number 1 in the world as China surpassed the US about 10 years ago. But the US still manufactures more than Germany, Japan and South Korea combined, for example.

True, trains are narrower and shorter. They can go longer, but what they really can do is be more frequent. A well-run double-track railroad can move 70 or 80 trains a day with not much difficulty. But you can't put 70 or 80 container ships through a port in a day.

You can think of the Bitcoin block chain as the state of a globally-accessible machine. The state is updated through the publication of valid blocks, each of which builds on a previous block. A block is composed of transactions, each of which incrementally advances the machine's state. Each transaction contains a small program "script" that defines the conditions for the state transition it causes.

There's this persistent misconception out there that only Ethereum works this way. It's a testament to marketing. Bitcoin has been doing "smart contracts" long before Ethereum was even a gleam in Vitalik's eye.

I dislike the politics and disagree with a lot of how the city runs, but I've met more likeminded founders, engineers and investors than I would've in a lifetime where I lived prior.

US tech companies are generally no longer interested in bringing foreigners from abroad on H1B - it's mostly dominated by indian body shops today. Wage levels rule changes might change this status quo but it's not in effect yet. Companies would consider H1B if you're already in the states on this or another type of visa, or working for them already from abroad. In the latter case you have an easier option of L1A/L1B transfer without any lotteries, with the catch that you won't be able to switch employers until you get GC.

A popular alternative is F1 - study for masters/phd in the US. Upon graduation you can stay work for 1-3 years on (STEM) OPT. 3 years is enough time to get proper H1B or green card, unless you were born in India or China.

For exceptional candidates, there's EB1, EB2-NIW - you can self-sponsor these without a company if you think you fit the requirements. Another type is O-1, company sponsorship required for this type but it could be your own startup and once you're in, you can work for another company on it. Biden reintroduced Entrepreneur Parole recently, another way to get into the states to roll your own startup.
One factor is demand, and that’s one way individual action can be effective; if enough people, especially those of us in countries with large carbon footprints (I’m in the US), reduce our demand for meat, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, hot water, petroleum, electricity, and so on (list not in priority order regarding climate-change impact), we can help this ecosystem be more robust and resilient. There are some steps in between, of course, and some growing pains.

“But if we save chocolate for special occasions, what about the cocoa farmers?” Just because a system exists doesn’t mean it’s worth keeping that way. The colonial powers did a lot of what I see as harm to many cultures by extracting material resources without much regard to cultural resources like oral histories and land-stewardship practices. We might give back more without expectation, donations without the T-shirt, mug, or tote in return; to what degree is this reasonable? Do we have enough shared values across to effect cultural change soon enough? Are too many of us stuck in our invincible teens, thinking we’ll be okay?
That's no different from the apt-key adv --recv-keys <key id> that people do now on signature failures, so I don't see that as a reasonable argument.

We can only show the key id in the output, though, and then people have to go search on the web to get the full key (or they echo $signature | base64 -d | head -c32 | base64; but really, who does that).
The detractor below apparently fails to understand that searching for controversial topics is a great way to see which search engines are similar, or relying on the results from other engines.
In an interview with Scalia asked which was his favorite opinion to have written apart from the legal issues at hand, he brought up Community Nutrition Institute v. Block for its clever opening:

“This case, involving legal requirements for the content and labeling of meat products such as frankfurters, affords a rare opportunity to explore simultaneously both parts of Bismarck’s aphorism that ‘No man should see how laws or sausages are made.’”

I've been using object and gimli crates extensively, and I can assure that "expose only a high-level fully-decoded representation" is the exact opposite of what they do. In fact, my biggest criticism (for gimli in particular) is that they lack sufficient high-level representation.

The object crate exposes all of the ELF types directly. The one thing it doesn't do is give you this from its format-agnostic object::read::File type, you have to start from object::read::elf::ElfFile instead. As a bonus, it also gives you all of the processor-specific defines so you don't have to look up what the value of, say, the x86-64 relocations are: https://docs.rs/object/0.25.3/object/elf/index.html#constant...
Ask HN: Do you care about privacy in your code and applications?
Today there is a trend of "shift-left", where developers care for and take ownership of the security aspects of the applications they develop, e.g running security tools that analyze code for vulnerabilities like SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and SCA (Software Composition Analysis).
Do you think we'll see a similar trend in Privacy and handling of PII data within applications? do you, as developers, care for the way your software handles users' sensitive data?
Think of the Supreme Court as an error handling routine. Sometimes the program wasn't written for the type of input it is now getting. Sometimes the code has a mistake in it. Sometimes the rules weren't defined specifically enough. Sometimes there are pieces of code that interfere with another piece of code. etc.

We don't put error-handlers in our code because we intended to write bad code. We do it because humans make mistakes and it is helpful to have a way to resolve them. Anyone who says their code doesn't need error-handling because they write perfect code is likely overconfident in their ability.
