> It's also pretty easy to vendor in your dependencies

It's not the first time I see this claim in this discussion. Describe "easy".

In the case of the much-hated npm, or yarn, it's as easy as:

npm/yarn install package

This will pull both the package and all its dependencies. It will create a lock file and will essentially lock the version. There are additional ways to specify the exact versions, and version ranges for packages and dependencies.

Additionally, it's quite trivial to make npm/yarn to pull not from npm, but from, say, a private package registry that only has vetted and audited packages.

So. Given that "it's easy to vendor in your dependencies", how will all this look in Deno?

We already know that even such a simple thing as lockfiles is, multiple manual steps with awkward parameters to the cli that people shouldn't forget [1]. This is... not easy.

There was a time when airbnb was mostly unique, quirky, and in places like NYC, vastly below market rate. Now, the only benefit that I see is the "rental cottage" style for vacations where you're willing to pay a premium for staying in a detached home with a reasonably equipped kitchen.
...or they just don't care, they'll take the investors money now, fail in a year or two, and won't have to deal with the fallout, but rather create a new startup, eg. car timeshare, where you car is an LLC!
So can people please quit posting twitter feeds finally?

Some of us still have never used or signed up with twitter, or feel the need to, and really don't want to. Bad enough they removed non-javascript access, since they are permablocked through noscript here, I simply close postings on HN that link there and curse them for bothering. Asking for a login atop that is just a 4x non-starter for "news" links.

Yes, some of us still respect our privacy.

Good point to follow the money. There have been a lot of unsubstantiated claims about lack of side effects from the mRNA therapies, while at the same time they became the most profitable drugs of all time even before approval.
This article is too biased. It's very obvious that the author attempted to make what would look like a fair comparison, but the bias shines through every single sentence in favor of Cast AI.
Litecoin/Dogecoin use an scrypt-based consensus algorithm; scrypt was designed to be "memory-hard" as a way of preventing ASIC-based brute-forcing of password hashes. So that's a "proof of having some memory", at least. (I think the relevant knob on the call to scrypt could just be turned way up to get a "proof of having a lot of memory.")

I believe Ethereum's ethash consensus also works this way, which is why there aren't Ethereum ASICs.

I hope this gets taken to court and this company gets shut down. I'm not a patent (or any other kind of) lawyer but I do hold a couple of patents and I feel some confidence reading it, that CSP would not be held to breach this patent for a couple of reasons:

Firstly the patent describes a method of preventing cross-site scripting attacks by using preshared secrets which it describes throughout as passwords. A client-side "filter" is described in the invention, which disables "untrusted" sources unless they know the secret. The owner of a site turning on CSP can't possibly be violating the patent because the filtering in both the invention and the real CSP implementation happens at the client. The patent would have to cover the method of generating or publishing the nonces for the site owner to be in violation. If anyone is violating the patent (and I don't believe anyone is) it would be the people who make browsers which use the CSP headers to decide whether or not to execute script code.

It also describes various systems ("unsafe function" rewriting, etc) which don't exist in CSP and instead focuses purely on the idea that a nonce is a preshared secret password which can be checked by a "filter" on the client side.
One thing I've learned over the years is it usually isn't worth trying to custom build something you can get on Amazon for $50. The adult in me knows this but damn is the kid in me dissapointed.
Which basically means the brain doesn’t think the way the brain thinks the brain thinks.

Aside from the horrible phrasing, it's quite funny to think about, leading us to:

My brain thinks it is funny to think about how the brain doesn’t think the way the brain thinks the brain thinks.

In the same way that atoms don’t exactly work the way the atoms think the atoms work since, as Niels Bohr said, "A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself."

Reminds me of some comment I heard somewhere, about how the brain and the body don’t come with an instruction manual, and how it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective: we so far apparently haven’t needed to know how they work to use them well enough to survive.
>I mean what do you want them to actually do instead?

Nothing. Hire more moderators maybe. it also looks dishonest to frame it this way when twitter asks these pii for "spam protection" and yet still can't ban obvious Fiverr-like spam accounts

> Like what other things can we ask for that actually work and aren’t more invasive?

Nothing, somehow plenty of websites do fine without even asking for email, including this one. It seems what you really want to say is "What can we ask from you for it not to cost us anything?".

Remote work seemed to be declining in the Bay Area pre-pandemic. My company and many others were pushing for more in-office work over remote work as they felt that employees were able to be more creative and productive if they were able to collaborate spontaneously which in their eyes could only happen if everyone was in the office. This really seemed to take off in the area after Yahoo had implemented their no remote work policy.

You can remove the number after you've used the account for a while and not get locked, but they shouldn't require it in the first place.
Sure, instead of a phone number you can:

* Give us your Credit Card information

* Give us a picture of your real life self

Neither of these are solutions to the privacy and compromise potential problem that is the 'phone number or else' requirement. Its objectively worse, so that you go "oh, guess you can have my phone number instead".

I think some folks still need to understand that contrarianism is not a substitute for a personality or a careful thought process. People disagreeing with you is not a good metric for being right, or special, or oppressed.

If anything, all the conspiracy nonsense being stoked from shadowy organizations can be seen as serving the same purpose as an agent provocateur. "Look, these people will obviously believe anything, no matter how ridiculous or unsupported by empirical data. We'd better constrain all information for their own good." Just like a provocateur breaking windows at a protest is used as an excuse to arrest everyone.

Now that's a conspiracy theory I can get behind.
> Recent work has found, for instance, that two-thirds of the brain is involved in simple eye movements; meanwhile, half of the brain gets activated during respiration.

Talk about misleading... obviously these two tasks alone don't account for 116% of the brain's power. The neocortex is all the same part of the brain--yes it can loosely be delineated into segments, but it is pretty pointless to say the whole brain is involved when really the neocortex is just distributing its inputs along its length in the process of searching for the appropriate cortical columns.

How do those factors affect the seller's due diligence? I'll agree with the potential conflict of interest, but conflict of interest on its own doesn't stop anyone else from buying homes for their own purposes, even those among the highest levels of government. Unless such a sale is accomplished through an abuse of eminent domain or fraudulent representation, any transactions ought to be between buyer, seller, and contractually relevant parties.

And as side note, lobbying is not a bad word. Anyone who vouches for, or on behalf of one's interests before government is a lobbyist by definition. That goes for John Q Public as much as it does for Blackrock.
I'm curious what the state of AI generated music is. I heard a quote once that "music is math for people that don't like numbers" which struck me as particularly insightful. All the things that people appreciate about the instrumental aspect of music are mathematical in nature (rhythm, chords, progressions, etc.), at least at a superficial level.

Apart from vocals and lyrics (yet), it seems that AI ought to be particularly well suited for creating artificial music that actually sounds decent. Sure it's not going to be pushing any boundaries, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't able to churn out some catchy melodies.

One option might be to allow people to view tweets if they have accounts from reputable federated identity providers, then you have an identity of an individual person without having to do the validation yourself. You can then rate-limit based on that individual ID.

Another option might be to rate-limit by things which don't require accounts, which won't strictly rate-limit individuals, but it's unlikely that's the terminal goal here. It's not actually clear what they are trying to accomplish. Reducing the amount of resources wasted on scraping bots ?

Sometimes someone asks a question in earnest. They really don’t know, and want to know more. They aren’t trying to score points or win a debate or strike a rhetorical victory.

I had just the same question as the commenter. I just don’t know much about this topic, and think that this question and its answers really helped my understanding.
The only problem I have with it is that the entitlement system controls both what you can submit to the App Store as well as what you can locally compile and install.

For example, you can't locally develop a VPN app until you ask Apple permission to develop a VPN app. Almost certainly this is to appease China, which I find particularly egregious.

Fonts also require an entitlement, but I'm not sure if it's just something you need a paid dev account for or if you need to specifically grovel to Apple as to why you need it. I doubt "I want to submit a pull request to iSH" would be considered a valid reason (but correct me if I'm wrong).

Even things like camera access in multitasking views are entitlements that your dev account needs to be preapproved for. In fact, it wasn't even something that Apple even publicly mentioned for a while - only Zoom had it until someone reverse-engineered their app bundle and found out about it.
You probably don't have OCD
Something I’ve kept on the down-low through the years is my push and pull with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so I’m — last one, promise — coming clean! What’s silly is that for a long while I’ve been saying to myself, “I had OCD as a child.” I just said it again last week, actually. Instead, I say I have generalized anxiety — it’s now more societally accepted. Read more.

Israel will win for sure since they have American money and a defensive position (always easier than an offensive position in war).

But the best case scenario for Israel is that Muslim countries are ruled by authoritarian elites (whose wealth lends them to be more Western liberal than Islamist). That would lead to the least issues and the most chance for them to cement the legitimacy of their country (still not considered legitimate by majority of the world's population).
I think Reddit knows it too, that's why old is still around. The Digg fiasco was a long time ago but must be still in their corporate subconscious.
I suspect the folks over at Coinbase would beg to differ.
A) They're not a tech company, as many people love to claim for investors these days.

B) They are, however, solving someone's problem. Just because you don't share the same desires, doesn't mean that they're not addressing someone's need/want.

C) Technology still solves a lot of "real" problems, but we have enough of it to solve a lot of frivolous things. (it would be funny if you work for FB, Twitter or tiktok... while writing this message)
I usually forgive Americans for not knowing this, but 'the system' is something we've built up together to help ourselves and organize ourselves. Unemployment is a statistically calculable fact, so we can plan for it.

That systems tend to start living their own lives is of course the challenge, because indeed the point of this system is not the system, but to help ourselves. Like democracy, it requires indefinite maintenance, upgrades and changes. But that does not mean it's bad, it means people are a hard problem.

Of course. I'm talking about when you actually handle your exceptions you should be specific about the lines you're handling.
I'll take your word for it that it works, but I would have been skeptical. Am I correct in understanding that they essentially function is a communication medium with the companies maintaining these unsolicited mailing lists, and those companies voluntarily remove people that pay DMAchoice?
Okay, I agree that if you lose in court and get ordered to pay a fine, and you refuse to pay that fine and get a bad credit report as a result, you would indirectly be punished in your ability to obtain credit. But the problematic link in the causal chain is what you have to pay the fine for, isn't it? Treating an unpaid fine the same way as any other outstanding debt seems pretty reasonable to me.

Also, I'm under the impression that people imagine something more direct when they talk about web history affecting credit scores, like visiting a site automatically deducting points from a score, or something.

Not with any sort of seriousness I think.

Some major internet peering exchanges used to have multicast LANs for whatever reason. I think LINX were one of the last ones to operate one, but eventually in 2020 they removed it after they reached a point where only two ports were connected to it with no significant traffic flowing !

I can whistle 3 ways: the typical pucker you lips whistle, use your fingers whistle, and a third that I’ve only seen my brother and I do. For the third curl your upper lip towards your nose, bring the bottom lip up flat, move your tongue all the back and down, and try and direct the air into the split part of your inner upper lip. It’s a very loud piercing whistle that can be heard much farther than the typical finger whistle.
You know, I imagine the big problem that Amazon purportedly solves is discoverability for producers.

I exclusively use new Reddit. The increased friction around every single interaction is great for limiting the amount of time I spend there: it raises the bar for deciding to actually view a discussion, and the incomprehensible nesting-collapse algorithm keeps me from going down rabbit holes in threads unless it's something that genuinely interests me.

It's similar to my YouTube usage. All the pre-roll ads ensure I only start videos I'm reasonably sure I'll want to watch, and mid-rolls are a perfect reminder to bail if I'm not fully invested in what I'm watching.

2 months is a long time in youtube-dl world. It's not really a "software project" in the traditional sense, where you can stop working on it once it's "done". It's more of a "social project", a focal point for the required ongoing activity necessary to keep sites working. Youtube-dl without daily commits is useless.
