Quokka looks interesting. An extension is definitely a possibility and if so it would support DOM, Vue, NodeJS, Electron, etc — not just run things in a separate NodeJS instance.

The other route I am considering is integrating backend, hosting, and a market — so the site becomes a vertically integrated code creation place.
But they are typically heavier, more unwieldy, and are bolt action and thus have a lower rate of fire.

It's a continuum though. Go up in ballistic power from .223 only a little bit and you still find plenty of lightweight semi-auto rifles. And you can certainly find semi-autos all the way to at least 7mm Remington Mangum.

With a pistol grip, an amateur could easily shoot and kill a bunch of people with one,

Personally I have a lot of doubt about how much difference a pistol grip actually makes, but I could be convinced if anybody has researched that and has some evidence.

with a pistol grip and large capacity magazine is far more deadly for killing

A skilled operator can change magazines so quickly that I feel like magazine capacity is almost a moot point. To me the real distinction is binary "has a detachable magazine" or "does not have a detachable magazine."

Of course, I suppose in the context of how much damage an unskilled operator can do, then yes, a larger magazine is more "deadly" in a sense. But large magazines are not specific to the AR series. Even if the original manufacturer doesn't provide them, there's little reason in principle that someone else can't manufacture a higher capacity magazine for any rifle that uses detachable magazines.

I don't disagree with any of that. I'm not saying things will be good globally, or even in very many places. I'm just saying that it's likely that climate change will leave some areas of the planet better than they are now.

Whether or not we have the ability now, or will have the ability in the future, to reverse course on climate change was entirely unrelated to the point I was trying to make.
Monopolies and corporate consolidations tend to limit one's job opportunities.
Yeah I agree almost entirely, I think the next point of contention people would need to hash out is how heavy should the burden of proof be that employers should strive for.

I'd hope that there was some formal process her employer undertook in order to meet their own bar, wherever that was set, rather than letting an external party set the narrative entirely.

That aside, I think your initial comment may have been a tad dismissive of the idea that such an investigation could have taken place, especially considering she was fired a year after the controversy started.

One of the big reasons is that developers don't want to be locked in to something. The tool itself needs to be significantly better than the free competition, while still being able to easily pull it out and replace it with something else on short notice. Startups don't generally like those rules, they tend to thrive on lock-in and controlling the users for a chance of a big payday. I think developer tools are generally fit more of a "lifestyle business" than a startup.

scroll down to the section titled Relativistic Causality
Proving it can be done is important in its own right: it invites competition.

And proving it can be done is aside from proving how it can be done. Once the general principle is proven out, competitors find ways to apply it that avoid infringing on the patent. The process of discovering the how involves expensive trial and error, that a large private sector can greatly accelerate.

I agree that publicly funded technology initiatives have their own strengths, but private technology provide far more than crumbs. Much of an industry's development is in the form of mundane, that is too unremarkable to be patented or held in secret, and for that, it makes no difference what the source of the funding is.
So its alright for rich CNN contributors to get handouts from Bezos, but unacceptable for average Americans?

Personally I find bit-twiddling in C to be painful compared to bit twiddling in assembly.

For my Arduino projects in particular I never make recursive function calls, and would be happy to statically allocate everything in RAM. The stack-oriented activation records in C, calling conventions, return values, are more a problem than a solution.

Maybe they were trying to keep you employed/paid.

We had a slowdown in a manufacturing warehouse due to a computer issue. In order for us to get paid, they had us work to peel stickers from and wipe marker off of the previously used plastic bags so they could be reused. It would have been more efficient to just use new bags, but they could only justify paying us if we were doing something.
Market cap has nothing to do with either sales volume or revenue. VW sells a magnitude greater number of cars than Tesla.
There are architectural ways to avoid this problem.

Do you really feel that confident working in another team’s code base? I work in a multi-repo company, and almost every time I’ve gotten a patch from outside my team it’s been wrong in some way. Why would I want to make it easier for people who don’t understand (and aren’t interested in understanding) my project to land code in it?
At least with building to k8s you can shift to another cloud provider if those problems end up too difficult to diagnose or fix. Moving providers with a k8s system can be a weeks long project rather than a years long project which can easily make the difference between surviving and closing the doors. It's not a panacea but it at least doesn't make your system dependent on a single provider.
Just curious if maybe you or anyone else knows. Are alternatives OS's such as lineage, postmarketOS, copperheadOS, etc. safe from this exploit?

So, people have options to stop being poor, people have options to not have to pee in a bottle at work, but they chose to do it, why?

Poverty removes many options, lack of good education removes many options, abusive corporations keep options far away. The system is the problem, people is just living in a system manipulated for the benefit of others.

This might be a big deal, but I have been mentoring this guy on an on and off basis, he does not have a laptop, is not a CS student (was studying for medical exam - NEET) and writes all his code on an android cellphone. He got interested in cyber security and wrote his first functional keylogger (disclaimer : it was good exercise to teach him basic *nix utilities and how native functionalities can be leveraged by an attackers to their end, not for malicious objectives) using his phone as an IDE, compiler and what not.

Talent, can come from anywhere.

this is bound to happen. the more complicated the stack that you use becomes, the less details you understand about the lower levels.

who, today, can write or optimize assembly by hand? How about understand the OS internals? How about write a compiler? How about write a library for their fav language? How about actually troubleshoot a misbehaving *nix process?

All of these were table stakes at some point in time. The key is not to understand all layers perfectly. The key is to know when to stop adding layers.

Your observation is true. Very rarely employers want to hire a competent (read: expensive and finicky) developer. They would rather have a team (team is good!) of average developers that can work at a moderate pace, generating reliable paychecks for everyone involved.

It's only in a startup, or in a small company where the people who decide have a stake in the game (and/or skin), you might get hired for your actual competence.

so, if you want to work for amason or guugle or appel or phasebook - better learn how to whiteboard.

> ease of use of a pistol with the power of a long gun

Tell me you have near zero experience with pistols or long guns without actually saying it. XD

> common sense

No. You’re inconsistent in your comparison: they make AR pattern rifles in .308. A .308 is more destructive than a .223. The military adopted .223/5.56 for logistic reasons, and you’ll find plenty of debate in the military about the inadequacy of the .223 round both in terms of effective range and penetration. This balancing act is a debate in the military going back ages. I can show you Ordnance Dept. memoranda from over a hundred years ago where this exact balancing act was being debated.

People like the AR pattern (in any caliber) because it’s highly customizable, made of modern durable materials, and is easy to maintain. That the military adopted the pattern for the same reasons shouldn’t come as a surprise. A good design sells itself.

Today, if you want a semi-auto .223 you’d be nuts to buy a mini-14 instead of an AR unless you’re into the mini for aesthetic or collector sentiments (which are valid reasons). But with the mini you’re getting a rifle you’d need to put a lot of custom work into to free float the barrel, you’d always be worried about protecting that wood stock and metal finish, and you’d find limited (by comparison) after-market mods. Also, you’d lose so many options for caliber interchangeability that you get with an AR. Hell, they even make a crossbow upper for the AR. Try turning your mini into a crossbow. :D the AR pattern is the most popular rifle for very good reasons and not because it’s somehow “more deadly” than another semi-auto of the same caliber.

"The person submitting this link to HN posted a snarky rhetorical question" is an assumption, and one that I can state categorically and with 100% confidence is incorrect.

I did not.

>work on your presentation if that wasn’t the intention

I'm not repeating myself on this again. Go read my comments elsewhere.

>Nobody said anything about bad faith

You tried to tell me that I had asked a rhetorical question when I did not. That's assuming bad faith.

>What I don’t understand is why you would expect any outcome other than what happened

Who said that I did? The github issue even mentions my expectations. But I'm sure you read it in its entirety and knew that already.

>There’s no need to dramatize something that’s already abhorrent.

You're wrong again. By raising the issue on github and then submitting it to HN, at least one more person is aware of it. Which means that I achieved my goal and made the world a better place today.

>This particular incident isn’t worthy of its own HN thread.

That may or may not be the case, I'm fairly new to HN. I thought it was. I have since re-read the HN rules and I stand by that decision, unless you have a rule that I may have missed that you'd like to point out?

Uber (and Lyft) simply took over as the established rent seeker. At least with medallions, there were caps to prevent overcapacity in the system and your urban cores flooded with rideshare drivers. There is no such restriction with Uber and Lyft, so their revenue comes on the back of the externalities of underpaid drivers and unregulated congestion.

>> Personally, I wasn't worried: since 2011, when I was still living in Russia, I’ve got used to assuming that all my phones were compromised.

I know it's fun to slam on Telegram (and for sure its encryption has flaws, I really don't think anyone denies this), but everyone needs to understand the mindset of Durov and what I'm guessing is the mindset of russian-born telegram developers: your phone can be compromised, and easily at that.

I think this is something very important for everyone to remember when the discussion of encryption and messaging comes up.

The level of encryption in transit doesn't matter if your adversary has full access on your phone that can just screenshot and pull local messages of whatever they want.

NSO's ridiculousness hopefully has made it very clear that it doesn't matter which phone/OS you're using; full access to your phone is a salable item for basically anyone with the interest in having it, and this is only the software we know about.

Journalisst, Activists, or even just someone looking for a fun weekend is at risk with modern phones and messaging; it does not matter about tapping the communication in-between if they can just screenshot/copy your phone on the fly.

Be careful about what you use your phone for.
None of the things you state are related to the technical act of having a single repository, but they are all results of the organizational structure.

I think it would be extremely difficult to achieve the scale OnlyFans has without a large number of “average Joe’s”. Your point about the idea being “morally corrupt” shows the true nature of your comment. Just because the practice or service doesn’t match your morals, does not make it immoral. Sex work is the oldest profession, there’s no reason there shouldn’t be a respectable platform for this kind of work.

The whole point of this thread is about how poorly OnlyFans is managing this complex space.
I agree with jcrammer in that the question being posed isn't really the one the article seems to be discussing. I read the article as discussing "why aren't there more new programming languages"? So I'll comment on that one instead.

As an aside, I've been a professional developer for several decades now, and that's a question that I've heard for my entire career.

I think the answer is a combination of things that are impediments to the adoption of new languages of any sort, no matter how much of an improvement they may technically be

1) If there isn't an accessible supply of developers who know the language, using the language becomes risky as a business decision.

2) Related to #1, using a new language is placing a bet: once you've put a lot of time, money, and sweat into developing a codebase in a particular language, if that language falls out of fashion then you're stuck with a codebase in a language that will lack support and a ready supply of developers who know it and are willing to work in it.

3) Career-minded developers will tend to prefer to develop skills that are likely to be in demand with a wider array of potential employers. Much like the bet I talked about above (#2), working in a new language is also a bet being placed by the dev.

4) New languages tend to have immature toolschains. Using them can result in decreased production (and possibly decreased quality) as a result. This problem goes away should the language see widespread adoption, but that takes a while and may not happen.

There's a reason that the most-used (as opposed to most popular) languages tend to be ones that have been around for a while. They're safer (from a business point of view).

I've also noticed that the newer languages that become popular tend to grow out of hobbyist use. Devs learn and use them for fun in their off time. Some become proficient in them and advocate them to other devs. Once this hobbyist community reaches a critical mass, then companies will begin to entertain using the language, but not before.
Yeah. On top of that the article is a bit misleading as the goal of crypto, gold, etc is not to become rich, but not to become poorer due to inflation.
