"Knowing the domain names of the websites you visit, or servers that apps access on your behalf, is valuable intelligence. DNS traffic is especially valuable because it reflects what users are doing in real time.

"The names you asked for, and when you ask for them, say an awful lot about you," Huston said in his presentation to the APNIC 52 conference on Wednesday."

This goes on the assumption that a DNS request and HTTP request are coupled in time. They can be decoupled.

Ive been gathering DNS data in bulk for many years. This can be done, e.g., by making UDP/TCP DNS requests to the appropriate authoritative nameservers, making UDP/TCP requests to DNS caches run by third parties (this is what developers seems to prefer; its an inefficient, inconsiderate and braindead method, IMO), extracting the data from public scan datasets available for download, extracting from passive DNS datasets, and most recently making pipelined HTTP requests to DoH servers over a single TCP connection. Its good to have multiple sources of DNS data so one can note any differences.

A surveillance capitalist acting as a passive DNS data or DoH provider could be observing this data gathering but it would be difficult to connect any subsequent HTTP requests, separated in time, days, months or years later, with particular domainnames. With the way CDNs are used today, a large percentage of these domainnames can be requested from the same IP address. Obviously CDNs can have troves of data on users' browsing habits. Perhaps surveillance capitalists approach CDNs to get data about users.

What this article fails to mention is TLS 1.2 leaking domainnames in certificates and SNI extensions, in plaintext. Using third party DNS like Google, or even "Oblivious DNS" wont stop ISPs and others on path from seeing every domainname for every site the customer visits. TLS 1.3 with ESNI will fix this but its still experimental and Cloudflare is the only host I am aware of that supports it. Nevertheless I use it and it works well. For non-Cloudflare sites that require SNI (its quite a small of the sites submitted to HN) I use archive.org. Of course, I am trusting that archive.org isnt engaged in "surveillance capitalism". :) Another trick for Cloudfront hosted sites is one can use the [hash].cloudfront.net domainnname for SNI instead of the "real" domainname. If only mall number of customers are doing this, it makes more work for ISPs or marketers for very small reward, but its a trivial amount of work. Archive.org is the best solution I have so far.

For recreational web use, I have stopped using DNS altogether. I let the forward proxy store the IP address info for each host in memory. Its very fast.
For one, before the car enters the intersection, there is a pedestrian crossing. There is a pedestrian on the right side about to cross. I think it is safe to say in most countries, the car has to yield and stop.
Higham's writing is very readable and his book on numerical linear algebra is approachable and has information that's hard to find elsewhere.

His point about probabilistic error bounds for roundoff errors is excellent! The usual bounds are worst-case, and assume all roundoff errors complement each other. That doesn't happen in practice: the errors average out -- it's readily observable.

As Higham points out, this means intuitively that error magnitudes go from O(n) to O(sqrt(n)) which is huge for large n. I wasn't aware of his very recent joint work with Theo Mary that proves this under some conditions.
"DeepMind also created an ethical charter that included bans on using its technology for military weapons or surveillance, as well as a rule that its technology should be used for ways that benefit society."

That is incredibly naive. If they create useful technology they will not be able to limit what it is used for: it will either get reinvented (knowing that something is possible makes it much easier to reinvent), or spread via employee turnaround.

I think what's happening is that Deepmind's leadership realized that they could get much richer by not being part of Alphabet, and they found this very socially acceptable reason to justify the split.

There are plenty of alternatives to ORMs. We use JDBI (https://jdbi.org) which is dead simple and a happy medium between pure JDBC and a full blown ORM.

Even using the built-in JDBC support is an option with modern Java, PreparedStatement and ResultSet implement AutoClosable, which means you can write code like this:

try (
final var rs = conn.prepareStatement("""
<SQL here>
""").executeQuery();
) {
while (rs.next()) {
// do your thing
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
// your code here
}

Which is just the standard library and no more verbose than most other frameworks.

As for web frameworks, there's a million of them. Pick a non-magical one if you don't like magic.

My take is indeed probably more cynical and you're very correct about Delaware being well-trodden, but it does raise the question why the FAQs mention a bunch of well known corporate tax havens [0](Cayman Islands and Singapore) and not other well-trodden territories such as the UK, which has a really straightforward and efficient ecosystem surrounding startup law and incorporation (SeedLegals etc.) and plenty of history to extrapolate from. Also the FAQs mention nothing about having to be in Delaware, perhaps they should be updated?

This is where the audience could be.

I don't know the solution to be honest. But the reality is, if a video is not on YouTube, it will not reach a wide audience. If a popular channel gets removed from YouTube, few people will ever watch it again. In most cases this means short term bankruptcy.

People could click. People could follow. But they don't.

> With RAII popping stack frames means freeing resources recursively. If your free() implementation takes a lock then that can block other threads too, for an arbitrary time if the object graph being released is large.

For every RAII implementation I've seen, the recursive part is not within the free() implementation; the recursion happens outside the free() (or equivalent) calls, and free() (or equivalent) is called separately for each step, to release the memory for just that step. The time taken by each free() call is independent from the size of the object graph being released.
And it's technically how things are in the US. If US federal employees write some software, it's technically in the public domain. Classification levels may cause it to be hidden. It's when a contractor develops it that it starts getting murkier, the terms of their work determining ownership and, consequently, copyright.
If I understand correctly, then Cloudflare's paradigm is: We have a bunch of polished, simple standard services and if you want to do something slightly different and/or do something on the network you can use Workers.

Man, is calling ActiveStorage a regression ever spot on. Wish we'd never have used it and stuck with Paperclip.

ActiveJob was Rails4, so I can see where you're coming from there, but ActionMailbox from Rails6 has been a huge win for us. However Webpack has been a disaster. And then the odd evolution of Turbolinks and Stimulus in parallel.

With Rails7 rolling back Webpack and uniting Turbolinks and Stimulus under Hotwire, ActiveStorage finally getting to a good place, and ActiveRecord getting more and more niceities between 4 and 7, then factor in Ruby3's nice perf improvements, I'd say Rails is actually in a much more interesting place than it has ever been. The road from 3 to 7 has been rocky for sure, but for the first time in awhile I'm actually excited to spin up a new Rails project.
This is the correct answer. Delaware corporation law is extremely well tested in courts and understood, which is what makes it attractive.
I suppose we'll never know if the Tesla was going to follow through on that right turn.

But if you were an observer on the corner and could not see whether it was a human or an AI was driving the car, you would almost certainly consider whatever the car did (starting the turn) while pedestrians were actively crossing dangerous.

Almost hitting pedestrian is a big stretch. Car had enough time to stop before he took hold. He probably just picked up the wheel because he didn't want the car going that way.

"almost hitting pedestrian"

It wasn't even close. Look at where the ped is at 12 seconds, compared
to the car. It's because he stopped the turn, and straightened the vehicle that the pedestrian stopped and looked up with concern (at 13 seconds). Even if the pedestrian broke out into a full run, they wouldn't have been in any real danger.

This sort of close interplay between pedestrians and cars is very common in cities.

The concern I have is that the "eye contact" element is lost. When in doubt of another motorists intentions, we make eye contact and look for acknowledgement or an indication of intent. This doesn't exist with FSD.

Edit: Some people have pointed out the car wasn't supposed to be turning right which I missed. If that's the case, the situation and my opinion is completely different.

I've heard plenty of "what else do I have to work with?", that has about the same meaning.
It makes more sense when you realize the car wasn't even supposed to be turning. Look at the nav screen. If this guy didn't take over, where exactly was the car going? I think it's very easy to speculate it wouldn't have ended well.

The kind of truth in this study can easily be misused to tell a lie. It doesn't hurt to add a footnote of reason.
This is 7.2$/mo, at which rate you can rent xeon cores as well.
I would be interested in your thoughts on using PochiVM as a means to add a dynamic re-compiling core for emulators. The emulator would identify hot code blocks, generate C like constructs (or ideally the AST) and use the 'Copy-and-Patch Compilation' algorithm to generate and execute the relevant machine code. The ability to call back to host methods, handle exception semantics and all the while being totally oblivious to the platform architecture that the machine code is produced for seems ideal for an emulator designed to run on multiple platforms.
> The value of the cumulative labour of Mailchimp's engineers is $12 billion which vastly exceeds the amount it was sold for.

Yes, that's how employment works. Companies do not pay you exactly the same $$ you generate, that's just common sense? Why would they employ you if you cost just as much profit as you generate?

The question here is whether Mailchimp _exploited_ its employees by not offering equity. Unless an employee was lied to and told they might later receive equity, they all joined under the assumption that they were making a mutually beneficial agreement, and that the compensation offered by Mailchimp was worthwhile (as opposed to going and starting their own company or working for another startup that offered equity).

Every Mailchimp employee was welcome to start their own company if they wanted to capture 100% of the profits they generated.
CVS was not of the exclusive-check-out/check-in kind, it would merge by default on "cvs update", this was one of the main differences between it and RCS or sccs. The other main difference was it had a network protocol and didn't rely on the filesystem for sharing (e.g. NFS and the like). It was probably this 2nd difference that enabled it, (and subversion), to overtake RCS and sccs in the 90s.

If it works, it's science. If it doesn't work, it's not science. That's not the part I'm concerned about -- it seems much less important whether a given practice will net you money, than whether said practice is actually a good thing to do. The business types have difficulty distinguishing "good advice" and "advice that makes you rich right now" as it is.
Yeah totally! And this not only applies for deallocation, but also for allocation. A generational GC with bump allocation for the young generation can be much faster than a naive C/C++ application using malloc for every single allocation. Of course you could use an arena in C/C++ to improve this, but it requires thinking ahead and it add some extra challenges to the design. A GC gives you this for free, you don't have to even think about it.
> If everyone cuts trade for moral reasons, then there's no incentive for us not to point nukes at each other again.

I don't agree with OP but this is actually a pretty common talking point around the benefits of globalization. If you depend on some other country for some essential resource (e.g. natural gas) you're less likely to want to go to war with them because it would be quite inconvenient to suddenly have half your population freezing in the winter.

It's barely a stretch. The car veers pretty significantly. The driver and the pedestrian both notice this and wave as a 'sorry'. The car may have stopped, of course we won't ever know, but it's absolutely wrong to say that it was just the wrong direction - again, both the driver and pedestrian acknowledge the aggressive turn.

Now I just have to pay a modest installation fee to get it put into the house.

You are missing the point entirely: Sinclair did seize on the opportunity and nobody else did, and likely would not have.

I live in the country, work in a fairly data-centric job (infosec) and have worked from home a majority of the time for the past 15 years. Until this Feb my only connection to the internet was a 15M/768k DSL connection.

In Feb I got involved with a statewide project to bring Starlink in to see if it would support rural broadband initiatives. I've been running on it since. Average download and upload speeds are 10x and 30x respectively.

Up until the last month or so, however, the intermittent outages in Starlink had been a much bigger problem than the low bandwidth of the DSL connection, and so I worked over DSL and the rest of the house ran on Starlink. It's slowly getting to the point of being acceptible and I just recently switched work over to Starlink, but there are days where i switch back because the unplanned interruptions are extreeemely irritating.

All of that said, I'm super stoked about Starlink and think it's going to do a lot for rural/mobile living around the world.
