> For instance, in Belarus right now a lot of engineers seek to get out the country due to dictatorship regime.

It’s funny cause I heard the same in 2014 in Ukraine. Why exactly is it funny? Because it seemed like a made-up problem. Engineers weren’t hunted down. Instead, they were driving new cars from their new homes to their new offices while drinking artisan coffee. But for some reason they wanted to be a victim. I guess goes in the same bucket as “I’ll leave the US if Trump gets elected!”
I have a GraphQL course on Educative. It doesn't make crazy money, but definitely nice beer money every month! You could make several of these to increase the income and it's pretty passive (after writing your course obviously).
It's simply unfeasible to do that. The best you can do is blue-green deployments with a monorepo but you will still need at least data backwards compatibility to be able to roll back any change. The only thing you gain with blue-green deployments is slightly easier API evolution.
AFAIK in Spain is all professional. We do have an emergencies military unit too (UME - Unidad Militar de Emergencias) which does mostly firefighting and disaster relief. The military also can build hospitals and such, and it happened under the pandemic, but it's not the UME but something else.

Small municipalities pool their resources, at least around my area.

The only voluntary service we have is the Red Cross and Protección Civil.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but professional emergency services are definitely common.
Sure, and the JVM can contain an exploitable buffer overrun.

We are on a thread about "a case against security nihilism".

1. Not all vulnerabilities are memory safety vulnerabilities. The idea that adopting memory safe languages will prevent all vulns is not only a strawman, but empirically incorrect since we've had memory safe languages for many decades.

2. It is the case that a tremendously large number of vulns are caused by memory safety errors and that transitioning away from memory-unsafe languages will be a large win for industry safety. 'unsafe' is a limitation of Rust, but compared to the monstrous gaping maw of eldritch horror that is C and C++, it is small potatoes.

3. You are going to struggle to write real programs without ever using third party code.
HN seems to have gone the way of Reddit, where any skepticism toward lockdowns is treated as conspiracy fringe thinking. I suppose it’s to be expected from a community that can work remotely, but as you said, it is extremely unscientific.
There are a few things wrong with Stockfish's claims. Here's an analysis from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27900887

1. It's legal to sell Stockfish -- to "rip it off" -- as long as you're compliant with GPL v3: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/4753/is-it-le...

2. Fat Fritz seems compliant with GPL v3. They've released their code.

3. Stockfish claims they haven't released their NN weights. But that claim makes no sense. They distribute the weights with every copy of Fat Fritz. Otherwise, the product wouldn't work.

4. Stockfish can't unilaterally terminate someone's license to the code. GPL allows people to remedy violations, and Fat Fritz did. Saying "They didn't release their NN weights" doesn't seem to be true, and they almost seem to be hinging their entire case on this one point.
I think this might be neat but I can’t really tell. On my iPhone the screenshots are very small and I can’t read them. I went to “learn more” but the page seems formatted for desktop and the info is cut off. One suggestion I have is maybe link to a demo of the product so I can see it in action. Maybe that’s what’s on the learn page, sorry if it is, but I would suggest putting one in the homepage too to increase engagement.

Too bad it didn’t include the list of employees.
Man that looks sooooo out of place in the middle of the docks.
I'm Dutch as well. A couple of years ago my university fees were made tax deductible, I'm hazy on the details but basically I dropped out of my masters degree to work on a startup. Normally if you finish your degree some of your costs are relieved by the government with some loan forgiveness scheme. After 5 years or so they decided I definitely wasn't finishing that degree and all my university costs were suddenly tax deductible.

Obviously I had no idea of this scheme, I have no accountant and my university fees of 5 years ago were far from my mind.

Randomly got €6000 euros income tax back, very nice windfall courtesy of the Netherlands government.
What's the point, if there isn't a discount for paying upfront?

Will some people/businesses prefer this because it's not 'credit'—does AWS scrobble to your Credit Report in any country?

Who created that "problem we are trying to solve". It wasn't the user.

If the solution to the "problem" is giving increasingly more personal information to a tech company, that's not a great solution, IMO. Arguably, from the user's perspective, it's creating a new problem.

Most users are not going to purchase YubiKeys. It's not a matter of whether I use one, what I am concerned about is what other users are being coaxed into doing.

There are many problems with "authentication methods" but the one I'm referring to is giving escalating amounts of personal information to tech companies, even if it's under the guise "for the purpose of authentication" or argued to be a fair exchange for "free services". Obviously tech companies love "authenticating" users as it signals "real" ad targets.

The "tech" industry is riddled with conflicts of interest. That is a problem they are not even attempting to solve. Perhaps regulation is going to solve it for them.
Of course a minority is going to be "under-represented" if it had no interest in joining the sector. I bet people making those policies never spoke about software with a lambda woman. I did, and I will tell you my experience.

I was a student in computer science degree. During parties, or when meeting new people, there is always this phase where people introduce themselves and ask what that do/study. I had multiple occasions to tell European women the truth: that I'm studied CS. The response generally ranged from meh to disgust. That include mockery and conversation that turned very short.

At some point I was also studying something else. I then started to introduce myself as a student of that major instead. The results were almost magically: not only there wasn't any negative reaction, but it was something picking interested and fueling the conversation further.

Now I precised European earlier in the post because I also experimented in Japan were Asian women response ranged from ok to some interested in learning how to code.

That being said, a minority for which rising statistics is almost impossible is way good for all the people living by preaching "diversity": they sure won't run out of work.
I think many people are trying to determine policy decisions.

Do you shut down a country, causing starvation and lack of medical care OR do you attempt business as usual with masks?

People are going to die, the question is how to limit it, and who gets priority.
I think a lot of that can be managed with messaging and expectation-setting.

My experience hasn't been that volume is manufacturing-limited. A frobitz costs $50 to make, ship, support, etc:

- I know I'll sell 200

- I think I might sell 800

- Best-case, I'll sell 1600

Without preorders, if I order 200 and sell for $60, I'll come out $2000 ahead guaranteed. If I order 800, I might come out $8000 ahead, or I might come out $28k behind. If I order 1600, I'll be almost guaranteed to come out behind.

Ergo, it makes more sense for me to order as many as I *know* I'll sell, and to have shortages than it does to order extra. Unsold units cost a lot, and can drive me bankrupt. Shortages are a bit of lost profit. That's especially true for low-volume, as is the case here.

> You can design a vehicle that takes you quickly from a -> b that doesn't weigh 2 tons and uses 18m^2 at rest.

The Smart Electric and the Fiat 500e are notable examples of practical errand vehicles that use space and energy efficiently.

However, they are not the answer that consumers want to hear in the transportation dystopia of US society, where every vehicle must be an armoured car that can take a family of consumers (with at least one dog) through a vast zombie-apocalypse wasteland to fill the pantry at $warehouse-sized-retailer.

What most people think they need for a vehicle is often a grotesque exaggeration of their likely needs and perhaps also a masochistic acceptance of absurd network congestion called "commuting".
Isn't the point of being a UNESCO WH site that you value preserving and leverage the vestiges of the past to you benefit?

I'd have thought it _much_ more likely to be corporate entities wanting information on local officials, other corporations, etc.

If one would be cynical about it, one could say that companies see this a bit like: "Learn that one weird trick to create a monopoly" — a strategy which of course boils down to money in the end.

Giving people software thattheycan use on their own machines is not without problems (e.g. updates, incompatibilities, ...), but ultimately it is the more logical solution. If you buy a hammer you expect it to work as long as you don't burn your toolshed. You don't expect it to change shape while you are using it, you don't expect it not to stop working once the manufacturer decides to give up on the design or once they go bust. Change being in your hands instead of the manufacturers is a feature, not a bug.
Why not just allow people to declare bankruptcy on student loans, like all other loans?

Then the onus would be on the banks to only lend to people who they thought could repay.
> Bringing a gun causes the tactical team to come in rather than the normal cops

Missing the point, which is that this is a meaningful escalation in Norway where regular cops do not carry guns in most instances. It's a far less meaningful escalation when you're facing armed police either way.

The point both with that and the sentencing is that it creates a sharp escalation from a low risk base.

Escalation only works as a deterrence from negative behaviours if the lowest risk alternative is actually seen as low risk.
That's my understanding of the process too.

The historic docks are hard to redevelop. The Albert Dock was successfully redeveloped and includes museums and an art gallery, along with various cafes and tourist destinations. That can't be repeated for the whole waterfront.

Although the docks are historically _important_, they're not really that interesting to visit. They are immediately adjacent to both the city centre and light industrial sites further to the north, but don't add any value in their own right. Sympathetic redevelopment might have been possible in some cases, but I think the city would benefit more from development of something of modern relevance. I'm not totally convinced by the Liverpool Waters[1] plans, but they're at least more likely to generate sustainable economic activity.

I really like your website, qn: how did you make it?
I can see how this would be useful as I'm building an API. The free tier is almost too generous and I think I'd be more inclined to pay for this if the free tier had about 1K free API calls and the smallest package was < $30 a month. May differ for others though.

In terms of log retention, does anything prevent me from just replicating and storing the logs myself? If so log retention as feature differentiation is a bit superfluous imo. I think some of the features you offer could potentially be behind a paywall. Either way, looks really nice and I am considering being a customer when my team grows a bit more. Good luck!
Oh, good grief.

I can see how this is part of an industry trend, but it's a bad trend. Please don't.

I was talking about misidentifying because there's a mushroom present that 'shouldnt' be in the area, not an entirely new species, lets not get carried away because it frustrated you.

There are plenty of things people dont do because of the risk, so your argument there is complete nonsense.

Sure jumping out of a plane with a parachute is going to be safe if you're confident you know what you're doing, but there's plenty of people (including myself) that wouldn't dare do it.

The comment I responded to had this -
"but she wouldn't budge from the belief that if you're not an expert you'll pick a mushroom and die. People are missing out on a very enjoyable past time because of fear mongering."

Which is an unbelievably ignorant attitude. Comes across as "People aren't getting into X hobby I like because they're afraid, so we should peer pressure them into doing it anyway" (even though someone who is nervous is 10x more likely to make a mistake that DOES end in death or illness)
> consequences of the pandemic and societies reaction to it

But which? That's an extremely important distinction because the correct response might be further lockdowns or the exact opposite. Merely knowing there were four million excess deaths, while tragic and important information, is not a useful guide for the response.
Thanks!

So there is a big difference to gun ownership in the US (and elsewhere).

The numbers are silliness, hard to take the rest of the points seriously. Average starting salary for engineers at FB isn’t $150K and there aren’t 1000 engineers. Looks like the author pulled these numbers from Internet sources from years ago, then compares them to FB’s 2020 revenue.

Articles from years ago say that FB’s average salary is in the 120-130K range, total comp around 150K, but that’s for all employees, not just engineers, who are the highest paid. E3’s (new college grads) make more than $150K.

https://www.levels.fyi/company/Facebook/salaries/Software-En...

FB had 60K employees end of 2020, you think only 1.6% of them are engineers? Did they source this from a Quora answer from years ago that’s the top google result for “Facebook number engineers” where someone just pulls a big number out of their ass?

> how much value that safety really has over time

Billions and billions of dollars. Large organizations like Microsoft and Google have published numbers on the proportion of vulns in their software that are caused by memory errors. As you can imagine, a lot of effort is spent within these institutions to try to mitigate this risk (world class fuzzing, static analysis, and pentesting) yet vulns continue to persist.

Rust is not the solution. Memory-safe languages are. It is just that there aren't many such languages that can compete with C++ when it comes to speed (Rust and Swift are the big ones) so Rust gets mentioned a lot to preempt the "but I gotta go fast" concerns.
Just curious, are you doing anything to prevent companies from running drafts of their disclosures through your algorithm? That would allow them to tweak the disclosure until your AI gives it a positive score.
You're using one specific definition of an API. Another definition of an API is the contract between a library and the calling code. The latter sort of API changes happen frequently (at least in places with monorepos), and they don't require phased deployments.

> It's like proving a negative.

"You can't prove a negative" is one of dopey philosophical slogans[1] that are meaningless in practice. It gives undue weight to absolutes that do not exist in reality. The statement "money doesn't grow on trees" is obviously true, yet you can't logically rule out the existence of such a tree. What are the practical implications of this? None.

If we tested a hypothesis thoroughly, we can say that it is true or not true, not with absolute platonic certainty, but for all intents and purposes.

These arguments always attribute causality to someone with very little agency in those situations and minimize/victimize the actions of someone who did something problematic.

Let’s walk through it…

Person A says something bad (your ‘off color joke’)

Person B dislikes that and says so on the internet, loudly

Person C sees what B said and decides not to hire A

Your argument is that B is more responsible for Cs actions than A or C is. This particular brand of American individual freedoms is bought into by one end of our political spectrum in particular and is nonsense.

Several states recently passed anti swatting legislation, California (2013), Illinois (2015), etc because it’s common enough to be considered a significant issue. It’s not just about the risk to the public, these overreactions interferes with the police and waste significant resources.

Really people have been doing this for a long time, the “boy who cried wolf” is part of Aesop's Fables dating to ~600 BCE. Swatting is significant because it’s harder for cops to filter based on internet famous than actually famous.
> Preorders generate risk for a business, because you take money and owe a customer goods

This is true if you capture funds up front, but preorders don't necessarily _need_ to work like that.

There are payment types/options (at least in the UK) where you can pre-auth the payment but not actually capture the funds until later - so you technically don't have the customers' money.

You can also take refundable deposits (slightly more risky, but risk is mitigated by clear terms and conditions that you're not guaranteeing availability or a fixed delivery date). Even a low-value deposit can also be a very useful signal for "actual demand" which can be helpful for capacity planning.

Source: have run pre-ordering system for large volume sales online in the UK + as a customer I've recently paid a $10 deposit a few months ahead of a US product launching in Europe (only paying the full balance when they emailed me to say they were ready to ship).
