Is Apple keeping its promises over online OCSP certificate checks?
Yes. Exactly. Just like if remote work is no option people who need it can consider something else. I've always had option to do both, so on days where it is beneficial for me to work from home I can still do that (like if I'm expecting a delivery), but I rather be at the office as per the reasoning in previous comments. There are many companies and many employees. I don't get why so many people are angry that I liked the pre-covid situation.

The company i work for makes absurd profits and has hundreds of millions of dollars of just cash on hand, even after reinvestment. I helped create that value (and frankly a large amount of it actually). Why shouldn't i get compensated accordingly? I also think the laborer should be paid better, btw
I wouldn’t recommend NPM audit. You’ll spend more time dealing with false positives, than fixing anything of significance.

When everything is urgent, nothing is.
At that point why bother being an employee? You might as well just go make YouTube videos or whatever since the job security is the same.
If you find it a good store of value for yourself that is fine, but you need to understand that value is defined by social norms not by technical features. Picasso paintings are currently a very good store of value. Gold has been a decent store of value for thousands of years. People bought beanie babies in 1998 because they thought the price would go up and stay up for a long time. Obviously they were wrong, but the same thing could happen to GOLD, BTC, or even Picasso paintings. It totally depends on what society values in the future.
You write that:

> It’s quite telling that my story described graphic sexual assault of children and you immediately forgot about the victims and made it about the perpetrators. Probably because if you had instead asked:

“So, just because children are being raped, we should give away our freedom and privacy?”

I think the frame being used to discuss the issue is the problem.

CSAM is the product of abuse/exploitation of children and that in turn is a symptom of a more serious problem: the growing prevalence of people with depraved minds who only get a slap on the wrist when they are caught, instead of a being punished with a strong deterrent.

Once the punishment for child abuse or exploitation is commensurate with the crime, demand for CSAM will plummet.

Blanket scanning of people's devices is a technological solution to a problem that is inherently social—it is trying to treat the symptom instead of the actual ailment.
This is alreasy solved by PEOs (professional employment orgs) who take care of all the employment bureaucracy for you. They are a booming business like Globalization Partners, Via.work among several others.

They are good for the company because they streamline hiring people in other countries and they are good for the employee because they provide all employnent requirements by law in their country.
Monthly? There were 3 releases in 2019, 2 in 2020, 2 so far in 2021 if you count the imminent 0.65 release.

I guess maybe it's monthly if you count the patch releases? But you can't really claim to "just increase the number by 1 each time" when you have two separate numbers which get incremented for different reasons.

I think you're overstating the case.

I agree that he overestimated the damage Brexit would cause, and has continued to do so.

The bit about Donald Trump is very misleading. The quotation is from a paragraph that begins "As for my worst-case nightmare scenario?". He was not claiming that in the actual world as it was then travelling to the US was like travelling to Germany in 1933. Trump becoming a totalitarian dictator was his worst-case nightmare scenario, not a prediction of what was definitely (or even likely) going to happen.

I am not sure what in what he said about 2018 you consider to have been contradicted by reality. (Expressed overdramatically, sure.) I think you can make a pretty good case for all of Balsonaro, Modi, Duterte, Erdogan as neo-fascist demagogues, with allowance for a bit of hyperbole. I shall refrain from trying to assess Trump on that score. I'm not sure what he was so cross about in Italy. His description of the UK situation is pretty much right.

Crypto has been around for quite a few years already. How is everyone still close minded? Maybe the issue is that crypto has several problems that are consistently ignored by the community and crypto products keep on underdelivering on their promises.

In the end, it all boils down to one fact: the differentiating feature of blockchain is decentralization. That's mainly it. However, the crypto community keeps on promising changes and improvements in areas that don't have anything to do with decentralization without any actual arguments, ignoring what is the reality of those issues.
The part about "without requiring physical access to the target host" would seem to imply that they only need access to a machine on their end for some attacks.

I'm experimenting with this for client-server design in game development, to ensure that the clients are in sync with the server: since the only way to change the game state is through events, I (as a developer) am unable to forget to implement some notification for something that happens. This also gets me match replays as an extra.

I came across the Update Monad [1] while researching how to use Event Sourcing in functional languages: it basically has the same guarantees of only changing the state through recorded events. Beware though, as it can be quite slow if implemented naively.

Biology hasn't had time to figure out that intelligence is a good idea, up to humans the payoffs have been relatively low. The complexity in human intelligence probably focuses more on doing basic things extremely energy efficiently rather than being effective at thinking.

Humans can attempt to multiply numbers and frequently get the wrong result. That doesn't scream "pushing the limits of intelligence".
If you have a set of working, useful features, however small as long as they part of your core product, and you release to the public then you have your v1.0.

IMHO, if you stay pre 1.0 for years across many releases it means you have too wide a scope for what v1.0 should be.

Essentially, your MVP is v1.0 since that the first viable product you release.

But what sometimes happens is that people imagine v1.0 as being the full vision with everything and so they never really reach it. And of course sometimes it seems that there is no sensible explanation at all for why a product is still pre 1.0 to the point of being ripe for satire, indeed (and ZeroVer is really on point the way it satirises this!).

"Words have meaning and power"

Except when they don't.

That's the point.

This change is completely meaningless in practical terms, which means the only value derived is in the heads of those wanting to see the change.

This is why we view it cynically.

Someone commenting cynically on the action does not 'prove' that those words have some kind of influence.
yes, it is. Serfdom is when a peasant has no right to leave his lord's land. If neocolonialism includes recognition of the right to emigrate when another country wants to accept you as an immigrant, it's too broad a definition to be any kind of useful pejorative.

The collective outcome may be bad for the country from which people emigrate, but the individual outcome is very good for the people who emigrate. And at a higher level of organisation, the importance of retaining one's best and brightest creates incentives for all governments to behave better than they would if it was accepted the people born in a country belonged to the rulers like some kind of global slavery system.
Fear not and do not panic :) If you build decent skills (especially open source stuff, not fads and things where there's vendor lock-in), and you're generous, kind and helpful to other people, and do the stuff the original article said, you will always be in demand. Well, I'm not too far off 50 and not had much of a problem yet. There's the odd person that is probably age-is to me, but if I was 25 those sort of people would probably be mean to me for some other random reason. It doesn't hurt to try to avoid bad things that develop in some people with age e:g anger, cynicism. I think those probably come from too many years of work without enough breaks. So, make sure you get enough time off!

That’s true, the brain uses a VM to run maths or science, only the best scientists succeed at understanding some of the concepts natively.

Same for music: A student runs the music sheet in a VM, and progressively JIT makes the movements native, which allows much faster execution, and which allows building on top of the base layer.

Maybe we’re doing it all wrong writing programs in assembler. We should give them to a VM, the VM should see the similarity between various pieces of the programs, make them inline, and we could teach the machine faster.

The word fa***t predates it’s use as a slur for homosexuals, but I don’t think anybody reasonable would argue that it’s not commonly perceived as an offensive term.

That brings back some memories! Back in '98 or '99, I ran into Carsten at UNSW and started talking to him because I thought it was cool how he used roller blades to go between classes.

He set up my Linux login with Enlightenment before many people had even heard of it. My fellow students in the same year were using some hideous black & white (not even greyscale!) window manager, meanwhile I had this awesome colourful setup that felt like it was from the future.

> who cares if there's breaking changes.

Semantic version is mostly bullshit anyway. You can never guarantee that a non-breaking change is non-breaking for every single one of your users. Anecdote: Just yesterday our entire CI process was taken down due to a bump in the AWS ebcli package from 3.20.0 -> 3.20.1. This should have been a non-breaking change, but instead resulted in an entire days worth of release management being grinded to a halt.

Pin your versions. Test all upgrades.
> an algorithmic censor-resistant, deflationary value network is a useful potential technology

As the other commenter said, "censor resistant" is impossible to achieve. It's society the one that gives value to things, and society can decide to censor you and stop you from storing/getting value from that network. Not to mention that most blockchains are traceable, so it's not that difficult to know how money is flowing.

> potentially the best store-of-value known to mankind so far

Why? This always happens in crypto: somehow it's going to fix a lot of issues even if the features that differentiate it from existing solutions don't have anything to do with those issues.

Don't try to paint yourself as the good guy, Peter Vessenes. You may be able to bamboozle someone who is not familiar with the process but not me. The "option for an early payout" is not something to be proud of. Your company Coinlab, with the ridiculous, meritless, $16 BILLION claim, engineered with the sole purpose to block payments to creditors, so you can extort us, is the sole reason we will not be able to get the full amount that is owed to us, once the voting is done. Instead, we'll be forced to take a 10% cut if we want to take the "early payout".

Don't put this on the trustee. While he may not be moving at the speed we would like, he is following Japanese law and Japanese court orders. You, on the other hand, are a cunning extortionist, trying to get your hands on our money.
AMD's own optimizing compiler is also LLVM-based. So, we now can wind up with the situation of both compilers adding spiffy optimizations and then never upstreaming them.

It's less of a problem if the two of them don't decide to add their own proprietary "extensions" to the language. That may be something to look out for going forward.
Peter McCullough, MD testifies to Texas Senate HHS Committee

I understand this. While you are right, there are some properties of these assets that can help us predict what could become a store of value: is it durable? is it easy to transfer? is it easy to censor? is it inflationary? also you can examine the network effect related to the asset. By developing new technical features, you can increase the chance of an asset to become a store of value. That's why researching proof-of-stake algorithms is meaningful. Not as important as to find cure for cancer? Maybe. But still meaningful. Lots of people on HN claim that it is totally bullshit, which is a strong opinion imho...
>The only proven way of using the LLVM platform competitively is to be part of its future: follow upstream closely, upstream most of your code, and actively participate in the platform evolution so that your competitors can't turn it against you.

>If you keep most of your code private, following upstream gets very hard. You skip one release, and then its 10x harder, so you skip another release and stop participating in LLVM's evolution cause you'll have to wait years for changes to upstream to land on your compiler. Your competitors do what's best for them, and those can be things that are bad for you, and then you are proper screwed, cause you can't migrate away from LLVM either.

This is an interesting take. I've heard the claim that GCC kept its codebase cryptic to prevent companies running home with it and not upstreaming changes, maybe that's LLVM's strategy.

Show HN: What3Books – Custom recommendations from multiple books
There’s an inflection point as a manager where you realize that your employees are better than you at a thing you used to do really well. So your new job is to put them on assignments that will help them grow, provide a safety net if anything goes wrong, and get out of the way.

The flip side is that you have to trust people. I’ve certainly had employees who basically didn’t show up to work. Their team members complained because it was more work on them. That’s a situation where I stepped in, tried to figure out what was wrong, but ultimately had to let the person go because they hadn’t made a pull request in months and didn’t have a good explanation as to why.

Having worked at a place with 11+ years of a project in ZeroVer, I would caution against ZeroVer as it can mentally wear on software developers. The 0. is not something embraced, but a taunting God who takes pleasure in suffering. The followers of ZeroVer all believe that with some combination of magic and hard work a 0. will turn to a 1., but the mighty 0. never rolls over. To topple the 0., they will try tricks like a full rewrite of core code, new scrum patterns, new directors of software development, more code reviews, iron clad specifications, testing specialists, and more. They’ll try to do things they see 1.0 software doing: sell the code, use it in production, make billion dollar decision based on its output, have entire livelihoods wrapped up in its existence, and still the 0. is unchanged. The myths of a roadmap to 1.0 will build over time, some say it’s always existed, but there’s no sign of a road or even civilization when you look around. The ZeroVer faith says that everyone is always on the road to 1.0 if they believe, but outsiders continually taunt them for not knowing when 1.0 will reveal itself.
Perfect - thank you! I don't know how I missed this.

By this logic probably 1/3 of literature is going to have to be banned or edited.

Using 'light' for 'good' which mostly derives from daylight, the sun, daytime etc. and darkness for 'bad' etc. might be the most ancient human metaphor, probably dating back to the time we could tell stories. Our first religion, in Egypt, the Sun was God and the God of the 'Dark Underworld' was the bad guy.

Moreover, it doesn't really have connotation with respect to skin colour.

The important, 'hard' part to social activism is context and nuance and also to understand that not all actions which may have some threadbare logic make sense or actually help.
