> Luckily the W3C deities gave us exactly such a gift in the form (pun intended) of the enctype attribute.

Minor quibble: enctype="text/plain" didn’t come from W3C. HTML 4.0 forms only defines enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" (which pct-encodes the json delimiters {"":}) and enctype="multipart/form-data" (which has a non-json Boundary prefix) so if those were the only enctypes that browsers used, then this exploit would not have worked.

WHATWG HTML5 does define enctype="text/plain" behavior https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastr.... According to the mozilla docs, it was “Introduced by HTML5 for debugging purposes.” https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/fo... But I doubt it was created by WHATWG either; in 2004 the HTML5 editor Ian Hickson said “I agree it is brain-dead (it's IE-compatible)” https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2... Unfortunately I can’t see history of the spec before 2006 though https://github.com/whatwg/html
Nah everything closes too early in SF good luck getting anything but McDonalds after 2am.
Yep, this is what I meant, thanks for the sources.

Although, I'm not sure about that "then sinking into the water" part. There are big LO2 and methane tanks and If they are empty enough and closed, both Starship and Booster shouldn't sink. I guest, we'll see it soon.
This reminded me of Sitting and Smiling [0]. It's just a dude sitting there for hours and smiling. Once a burglar actually entered his home and was scared of by, well, nothing, so I guess it checks the user engagement part, too ;)

yeah stacking is not photography anymore tbh. its more editing than anuthing else and the sky looks nothing like these pictures if you do not use such techniques.

Oh, someone that knows what they're doing photographically can help quite a bit there. A good professional portrait photographer has probably forgotten more tips and tricks to do with posing and lighting than the average Instagram professional ever knew.
I speak 3,5 languages, but I’m not a developer / engineer. Should I still try to apply?
That's the thing about the entertainment industry though. It's been around since the amphitheater was the pinnacle of technology.

Literally all you need to entertain people is talent and a space.

Hospital admissions usually are a bit delayed, but yes, presumably people won't be holding off on being admitted to the hospital the way they would hold off on getting tested if GP is right. (Personally I'm not sure how many more people will now, as compared to a few weeks ago, decide that testing is more of a nuisance than helpful for protecting your loved ones, but then I'm not from the UK so what do I know.)
Nope. You have a private and public key per connection.
A long time ago, our team tried to implement basically a versioned time-series key-value store (ie, you have many keys with daily values, and in addition to key and value it also stored an "as-of" date, so that you could override or correct a value for a specific value date by specifying a newer "as-of" date).

To query a value for a given date, you'd specify key and value date, and it would then give you the value with the latest "as-of" date. Almost always, there'd only be one "as-of" date, and rarely, when a correction had happened, there'd be two, extremely rarely three.

Now, the SQL query then was some sort of group_by and join where as_of = max over the group of as_of. Conceptually, just find the key and date, then pick the last as_of (if there are more than one). But the stupid engine did this massive self-join with a hash-join, and it was terribly slow. The conceptually simple idea turned out to be a disaster.

Made me realise

a) how little I know about DBs.

b) that you can get a correct solution in a language by understanding the language a bit; but to obtain an efficient solution, you need to understand the language rather well.

(Note: the SO question below is just about this topic, and I assume (hope) there are performant solutions to this nowadays. (I worked on this back when Microsoft SQL Server had just introduced an XML datatype for structured unstructured columns...)

One thing I noticed when looking through my parents' (pre-digital) home videos and photos from my childhood is that 90% of the subjects are me, and 10% anyone else, while what I want to see is the inverse of that. I want to see everyone else, mostly.

I try to keep that in mind when snapping photos or taking videos of my kids, and pan over to the oldsters in the room from time to time, even if all I want is to record the kids.

> What I really want are pictures of the halls in high school, street racing, parties with giant bonfires and beer.

Can confirm that a couple really, really long shots with the camera rolling for no particular purpose and capturing normal stuff happening (mostly just the audio) were among the best parts of the home videos, IMO.

Personally, I think it has a lot to do with American sub-culture, the US dollar, our crazy university system, and immigration. This is speculation on my part so take it with a BIG grain of salt.

The USA brings in 50 million or so people from other countries. Often they are bloody minded, stone cold, hard workers that will sacrifice everything to give their children the opportunity to be Americans. These people are some of the best in the world in my opinion.

The US dollar being used as a reserve currency for most of the world means that it is the center of international investment. This means that the billions of dollars that flowed into PayPal and Elon Musk's startups probably came in large part from foreign investment funds.

Our universities crank out some of the weirdest and least conventional engineers you can imagine. Most of them are half-crazy in the first place. The archetype of Mad Scientist can be found in physics departments and engineering labs all over the country. Conformity is often seen as a kind of perversity. We idolize professors like Feynman and read novels like Ignition! This is why you see bridges collapsing and power grids failing while we build some of the most advanced technology in the world. We hate boring maintenance and love to launches cars into space.

Finally in no small part is American sub-culture. Specifically the science fantasy of space travel and colonization that is in the heart of a lot of American engineers and scientists. The same fantasy that captured the heart of Elon Musk, a billionaire South African immigrant who made his fortune in Silicon Valley. In addition there is the added fact that few other countries would allow some random small company to build ICBMs in their metaphorical backyard. The USA is kinda loose like that...
ONS sampling disputes this.
How would you define 'fair'? I've a few examples, gathered from being alive and hearing what other people think for a few decades.

1. It's fair to punish someone else if you let another off the hook

2. It's fair to treat someone more harshly if you don't like what they've done

3. It's fair to turn the other cheek because they're a friend

4. It's fair to treat someone differently because of where they came from or their skin colour

5. It's fair to give someone a pass because they did you a favour

6. It's fair to be unfair because you owe someone a favour

7. It's unfair to be a victim who doesn't get justice

8. It's unfair to be an innocent person who is prosecuted for someone else's crime

9. It's unfair to not get what you wait

10. It's fair to get what you want

You will find a variation of all of these examples across the world right now.

The point is, fairness is loaded with bias and therefore any algorithm that tries to deal with 'fairness' is going to inherit the bias of those who designed it.

One problem with other countries is there is an industrial oligarchy that can't get shake itself out of the "The Innovator's Dilemma." Disruption is not considered valuable. The Russians have two aircraft design bureaus Sukhoi and MiG to help somewhat in preventing stagnation, but it would be impossible for a SpaceX to come out of nowhere in Russia like it did in the U.S. Elon even went to Russia in the early SpaceX days to buy an old ICBM and they told him to screw off.[1]

One related anecdote. I read somewhere a while ago about how Apple had a lot of internal security, even between teams. They said the reason for that is that if someone in the iPod department found out about the iPhone they'd realize the threat to their career and work to undermine it.

====================

Hello! I am looking for a junior software-engineering role. I have about 3 years of experience in full-stack web development and am particularly comfortable with JavaScript-based environments.

I prefer working in organisations that do not produce negative social impacts. I am looking for stability and would very much appreciate resources for personal development, ongoing interesting problems to solve, mentorship, and a pathway for growth.

====================

Other things of potential relevance:

- I have basic knowledge of Python, some machine learning frameworks, and SQL. Currently learning Rust — just mentioning in case there is an off chance that I could learn on the job.
- I have a background in chemistry and I recently did some applied machine learning work for about a year. For these reasons, I would happily work in data and/or research-related roles, too.
- I am self-taught. I’m only noting this because some people prefer knowing that up-front. I don’t just “write code that works” and forget about it.
- Honesty is important to me, and I expect that to be reciprocated.

Any feedback that is not job-offer related would also be very much appreciated! :)
There's been a complete shift in mindset. As a kid during the summer in a semi-rural area, I'd be away for hours. My grandmother had no idea where I was and my mother was at work. At one point, I had a fairly bad fall out of a tree but was able to get back to the house.

In a similar vein, if you were in the wilderness you were on your own. If you were in a group, you could send someone for help. If you were on your own you self-rescued or hoped someone found you. Now, the default assumption is you can call for help--which isn't always the case. More likely with a personal locator beacon but even that isn't a guarantee in canyons or in bad weather.

I was on a sea kayaking trip in Alaska in the early 90s. The guide had a VHF radio but, basically, had anything happened you'd have been waiting for the bush plane to return in a week.
"Clearly" is a bit too much, given that you've had to comment multiple times to people who didn't read it that way.
I don't see why we should care about number of cases in countries with freely available vaccines.

Disease (as reflected by hospital admissions) and death are what we care about. And those numbers are continuing to trend in the right direction.

The US media is just addicted to fear at this point. With a more boring/traditional president in the office and the covid panic waning, there is a news vacuum. And the media is trying to fill that vacuum with the delta variant. But you can calm your nerves just looking at the data yourself and not reading anything the media has to say.
indirectly, by providing you with 'free' services.
50% of previous value is obviously worse than 80%. If the effective price change was the same between the two would you have a strong objection to resizing vs raising price?

The US has always had a distinction between state and public ownership. You can do things on public lands that are restricted on government lands, for example.* The same can hold, and has held in the past, for Public media -- it does not necessarily mean State media. It requires effort to maintain the separation, yes, but not an impossible amount of effort.

*Not that the CPB is actually owned by the public, but the principle is closely related.

Relationships are hard, getting help shouldn't be.

At Blueheart we're re-inventing sex therapy: taking proven knowledge from academia, and making it accessible to millions through modern app design and psychology.

You'll work with really smart people, who've worked at places like Headspace, Google, and Saatchi & Saatchi, or who've studied at places like Cambridge, & Oxford. We've also published a bunch of research papers on sex & relationships.

Many of the team are in London and we have a small London office which we use for whiteboarding / pairing / workshops when it makes sense to, but many others are remote across Europe, and particularly for experienced engineers we are happy to support whatever mix of office/remote works for you, providing we can make time zones, legals and payroll work.

Front: React Native, TypeScript | Back: Node, TypeScript, GraphQL (apollo), Postgres | Infra: AWS, GCP (a little), CircleCI

It's already at the point where you have to spend lots of time to manually make them rare (pare them down to no more than a hundred or two per year, max) or rely on ML to generate highlights for you, for things like photos of kids.
you can still be corrupted even if you are not corrupted by profit. Its not like journalists or organizationa have no bias.
For context, grandparent was in the grey at the time of my posting and I was responding with my dismay that such a perspective was striking whoever as not only controversial but also not worthy of a proper reply given that ostensible dismay.

If you're concerned your gifts will be misused (by the public); perhaps its better to withhold them entirely.

Also, couldn't the military use your stuff for humanitarian purposes? or is just being a member of a military organization enough to earn your disapproval? Can't trust someone who defers their judgement to "authority" voluntarily like that, yaknow.
DemandStar | Senior Fullstack/Backend Engineer | Remote (US only) | Full-time, no contract | https://www.demandstar.com | Contact careers@demandstar.com for more info.

DemandStar is a two-sided marketplace that makes a complicated, expensive, and confusing process - government procurement - open, transparent, and accessible to any small business in the country, while saving city and local governments taxpayer money. Governments post solicitations on our platform and suppliers can bid on them.

We're looking for a senior fullstack engineer (although with a heavy focus on backend work) to help us build the pipes to support a huge amount of growth. We’re a react frontend in the middle of a Typescript migration with a .Net backend we’re looking to port over to node. There are lots of opportunities to collaborate on big engineering and product challenges.

A few bullet points to pique your interest:

* We make a free eProcurement platform for city and local governments, then connect them to our supplier network to create more responses and more competition, and generate significant taxpayer savings.

* We facilitated 3 billion dollars of transactions in 2020.

* 20 person company

* We have about 750 active governments and around 120k suppliers using the platform.

* We have revenue, and closed a $2M funding round in April of last year.

* There’s a group of employees based in the Greater Seattle area, but we are committed to building a distributed-first team - even after COVID. In addition to Washington, we have employees in New Jersey, Georgia, Colorado, California, Maryland, and Oregon.

* We have a strong belief in building a healthy culture where people aren’t working 60-hour weeks.

If you're interested in working on something that has real world positive impact across small (and big) town America, can save tons of taxpayer money, helps small businesses win lucrative government contracts... send a resume our way! We'd love to talk.

I've made this argument before, but in relation to dating.

You'll never be more interesting than a smartphone. It's virtually impossible. You're a single human, and that device contains the entire world. If you meet a woman, she has her friends on there. She has her instagram account. Snapchat, TikTok, whatever. You are instantly contrasted against the entire world (against only the highlight reel) and you don't match up. And you never will. You're dull and uninteresting. Just wait until you find yourself swiping on Tinder while your date is in the restroom. No one is immune.

The same is true for children. I'll never be as interesting at a Twitch stream or a flashy YouTube channel. Because no one is "on" at all times. Even at my most interesting, I'm not edited down.

I'm glad to have experienced life before the internet and cell phones. We'll never be back to that point and we may not be fully aware of what was lost for some time yet.
Not only that, but smartphones are also bad for health, EMFs radiation all day long are no fun for the body...
A touché, but regardless, I think tone and the way you make your argument matters a lot, vs. just the position you support. I personally see a tonne of people passionate about software quality on HN, and often their arguments are very well received.

If your argument comes off as “I don’t use libraries because everyone else’s software is crap, so I write everything myself,” people aren’t going to respond well to that. But if you can make a convincing argument for why it makes sense to avoid dependencies in specific situations, I’d imagine you’ll get a positive reaction.
This discussion is from early 2020 and the decision seems to have been mostly made by then, but they’re announcing it now.

I guess everyone’s been busy, what with a pandemic and all. :)
