You can't attack another user like this, regardless of whom they work for. I've banned this account. It's important to quality of discussion here that people be free to post about things they know about, and people tend to know a lot about what they're working on or what other people at their employer are working on. Allowing full-out attacks like this would disincentivize them to post, which would be strictly bad for HN: more aggression, less information. We want exactly the opposite of that.

Consider this: the intention is quite obvious, and the gravity of the situation makes pedantry like this come across as completely tone-deaf.
The phrase isn’t “children who are poor”, it’s “children living in poverty.” Which yes primarily counts children living with poor parents, but could also count runaway children, children living as wards of the state in bad conditions, etc. Either way, it’s defined as children in living conditions that don’t have enough resources to meet a minimal acceptable standard.

Many of them pertain to communication, leveraging your presence, especially the one titled "If I disappear, what will happen". The way I put it is to put yourself out of your current job and to be able to die without impacting the team beyond nostalgia.

We have long conversations about product, distribution, sales, marketing. We update our knowledge base regularly.

When the CTO and co-founder of a company you have joined quits a year and a half alter and the CEO is in another country, you get obsessed over making sure the company survives (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26182988)
As "blast"-inducing as talking with "people like me" is for you, the effect is equal and opposite for me. Stop spamming HN and r/Machinelearning.

It seems like you're deliberately imagining circumstances favorable to the police.

Thanks for sharing that!

The Iphone clearly does a better job now. When I highlighted the Lumia it was not in absolute terms, but the jump in quality from my previous phone, and Im hoping the I13 is a similar jump. Currently I have the X and it takes really bad photos.

But overall, I just loved everything about Lumia/Windows. Very non-intrusive. The e-ink layout took almost no power to run, had no apps in the store so very fast.. :)
To me the title of the article should have been:

"Leaked DARPA proposals adds weight to lab-engineered sars-cov-2 hypothesis"

...or something along those lines. The problem is that "points to" is a pretty strong direct relationship. But these docs aren't directly related apparently (since the research was rejected by DARPA). It just shows that labs were potentially interested in creating such viruses. But that does hint that such a scenario could have been possible.
The Philippines was the first place I looked on this map because of this book.
Why is vaccinating not healthy? Do you have any evidence of a significant "unhealthiness"?

I'm pro-pragmatism, which means I don't think covid is a big deal for most people after they're vaxxed. So let's all get vaxxed and then go about our business.
The probability of the issue happening seems to be meaningfully far less on certain operating systems than others.
> competitive with iPhones on performance.

That is technically not true (Samsung makes their own electronics and their own displays. Flagships from other companies are often based on better specs than Apple's) and completely irrelevant to the point.

> take advantage of that monopolistic position

What monopolistic position?!

> to drop consumer-friendly features like removable batteries

What?! That makes absolutely no sense.

If consumers (as a whole) wanted to have removable batteries, companies would fulfill the demand by producing and marketing those. The fact that the most expensive and premium phones do not have this feature (while a handful of niche companies can offer that at no extra cost) is an indication that the consumer market simply does not care about it.

You are looking at basic supply-and-demand and you are going ass-backwards at it.
i wonder if the courts take into account how things have changed since 230 became law
I agree with you in principle but I think writing this regulation, in a way that actually solves the problem and is not trivial to work-around, is much harder than you think.

Here's an example: The other day I was using a lidar sensor has a very well documented API, into its c-library. I do have the source for that c-library, and can build it, but it's calling into the part which doing many undocumented things because the part itself has a micro inside it and it has been updated since the documentation was written. And that c-library comes with a binary file that is filled with micro firmware and magic numbers that were determined by the factory during calibration. I have no idea how those measurements represent or how they were made, not that I can reproduce them anyway.

Is this sensor compliant? And, it probably was compliant once, but now is it still? Because the sensor itself changed, even though the C API remained constant.

Also, many parts, like this sensor, are made internationally: hardware is from one country, firmware is from another, company headquarters are a third.
> It may not look active from the outside, but I'm sure that the companies that used it still use it, while Rescript is still very young.

I think I might not have been clear when I said that reason is dead. Let me try again: ReasonML was a sort of collaboration between bucklescript (the ocaml->js compiler) and the Reason syntax. They recently parted ways, with the bukclescript part being renamed to ReScript (as well as using their own syntax). That leaves not much to be under the name "Reason", which is basically just a syntax.

The companies that use it (such as mine) are moving to ReScript. Or, to put it more accurately, they have always been using ReScript just people referred to it as Reason at the time.

> > ReScript continues to have a lot of momentum

> Rescript has 4k weekly downloads on npm

I meant relative to Reason. (fyi: rescript used to be called bs-platform, and that continues to have 8k downloads, so it's more like 12k for rescript)
I couldn't stand magazines back in the day for the same reason. Frankly, magazines are worse in my mind as I've already actually paid several dollars to purchase it. You'd think that'd allow them to get away with less ads as a result but apparently not. TV is the same way - I'm already paying for cable, stop showing me MORE stuff! I cut the cord in 2011, I don't miss it and I'd rather that model of payment+more ads not make a comeback.
Dependents can certainly live in poverty - that does almost always indicate that the family unit as a whole lives in poverty but it does allow some differentiation for families that are struggling with debt but manage to provide a relatively poverty free childhood for their offspring.

For some reason, I’ve never adjusted to using it. Anytime I try, I either lock my phone (by also hitting the lock button), or it’s off center and/or blurry due to the additional pressure required to hit the volume button (they require considerably more force than a typical shutter button on a camera, especially with some cases).

So I just stick to using the onscreen dot (which, as you all have said, has other ergonomic issues).
This is a great, clean explainer.

Series B seems to be the sweet spot to me if you would like to avoid working at a FAANG but want similar EV in your comp package, assuming you are decently good at guessing winners.

At that point the company is meaningfully de-risked but the equity offers are still pretty good for mid-career folks that you end up with millions in a good exit.
I don't know if you intended it this way, but to me your comment reads like you're promoting ignorance and making baseless accusations

And the "rescue" commands tell you not to use them unless you've been blessed by someone on a mailing list, and that they can actually cause MORE damage.

I was using BTRFS on my workstation and all of a sudden some garbage got written to the extent-tree, and it was toast. Never using BTRFS again. I had backups and was able to recover 99.99%, but the recuse tools were garbage. I finally killed it after it had spent a month, from July 4 until August 4, doing apparently nothing. And this was this year. This was a normal desktop configuration, single drive. I wasn't using any of the real features of the FS other than COW.
"some historians" here appears to mean "a couple of conspiracy-theory cranks" who use the term Secret Elite (caps theirs) without irony?
> My best guess is that people cooped up and afraid are more likely to kill.

People who are cooped up and angry. (I mean, they are afraid, too, but I think the anger is more the cause of murders than the fear.)

What are they angry about? Being cooped up. Still being cooped up. Having their job put on hold, their self-worth threatened, their financial well-being threatened. And they have more time to spend of social media in a filter bubble (from either side), getting more angry about everything else.
Has anyone considered broader implications of government making health decisions for individuals?

Each small mandate will add up over time to something we cannot currently imagine.

Take the executive order mandating vaccination for companies with over 100 employees.

Say this is challenged in court and it is upheld on some grounds. This might set some precedent. Then say at some point later the Texas law goes before SCOTUS. The initial precedent might provide a win for Texas.

This is all speculation, but it not entirely out of the real of possibility.
This time they're super serial.

There’s a lot of self-deprication in your post. “Sorry if I wasted your time” and “Maybe they decided I might never improve”.

You are worthy and this random internet stranger cares. Imagine for a moment you have the opportunity to ask anyone you imagine to be on HN what they could give you. What would you ask for?
I really miss the "snoring" light that Macbooks used to have, though more to tell if the computer is actually waking up.
There are two things that can be tested here, not one: whether the upstream service conforms to the contract / API promise, and whether your code behaves correctly with respect to what the API promises.

So that gives you a number of options for testing the second one of those. Recording sample traffic and replaying it in the test suite is one approach. Actually running an instance of the service (if it's open-source - there's still value in paying someone to competently run an OSS service) in your test suite is another, as is running some clone of the service (e.g., if you're talking to S3, there are probably a hundred S3 API-compatible clones that are good enough to run in your test suite, even if, again, you are happy to pay Amazon to competently run production).

You also want to pay attention to the first one of those, but that's not a job for your test suite. That's the job for some balance between their test suite, your monitoring or production logging, and your business relationship with them.
In case anyone else forgot the timeline, I just googled, and there’s evidence going back to ~2 million years ago of huminoids in Eurasia.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, and if I had read many times about how troll farms worked (and where they originated, and about their goals to destabilize regions and create divides amongst the people), I might guess that this story was posted and promoted by such people.
I feel like this is also where dogfooding - or drinking your own champagne - comes in, if possible.

We can use our software internally and sure, there are hardware costs and manpower overheads to run an additional instance of our software, but those aren't too high. Hardware necessary to run E2E tests of all the systems at proper scale including maintenance manpower probably eclipses those efforts. And then you'd have to add dev-hours on top of the E2E costs to build and maintain mountains of E2E tests.

And this has exposed really nasty bugs in common paths already, just by employees using the system.
From the HN guidelines:

Those variants were valid but there is a limit to how much they should add to the count of iterations. Variants and iterations are not the same, when multiple variants can come out at the same time.

Also the 3.0 variants don't matter for charging.

USB-C finally manages to have high speed pins and be small at the same time, and they gave it extra expandability too. There's no reason it needs to be updated any time soon. And they already have done some major updates but they've kept the same plug.

And that xkcd, eh. USB isn't exactly competing with USB, and I fully expect old versions of B to die out like mini did.
I don't know, this is not my area of expertise.

I have NEVER in my life ever gotten a useful output from `powercfg.exe /lastwake`. I'm honestly surprised to hear someone mention it as working, I thought it was the sort of thing that was just copypasted on clickfarming tech-help blogs without any sort of verification that it actually works.

In fact I just tried it again on 4 computers and every one of them said "Wake History Count - 0".
Yes it matters. It was an attack on our democracy and national security by an aggressive foreign adversary.
Red Hat and other Gnome-/GTK-adjacent people were on the JS bandwagon well before Electron was a thing. Most Electron developers have never actually made a good faith effort to try out JS development using GTK. How many Electron developers even know that when they interact with a vanilla Ubuntu desktop, they are using a window manager and desktop environment written in JS? I'd be skeptical that it was anywhere north of 15%.

If GTK had received a fraction of the attention and misdirected enthusiasm that went into bolstering the NodeJS ecosystem, things would be very different.
If I've understood this right, the biggest problems are outlined in the section titled "TPM PCR Brittleness". I'm not convinced that any three of the proposed solutions are good.
Nah, it's not.

Monthly lottery winners are.

If you know that 'free money' is just a temporary thing, you don't quit your job and move somewhere where that amount of money is enough to survive, and just stop working.... if ubi is permanent, and guaranteed to be "enough" to minimalistically survive, many more people would do that.
So the higher the S number the lower the energy usage? Or vice versa?
Like a sibling commenter, I've found this pretty hit-and-miss too.

Something like Outlook or OneNote will restore its state reasonably well, as will Safari/Chrome/Edge/Firefox. Others, like Activity Monitor, Enpass, and iTerm2, decide to "helpfully" open a window for me even though the previous state was "running with no windows open" (which is perfectly valid for many applications).
That definitely happens. The E2E tests tend to make assumptions about how the app works (encode not just the requirements but also the architecture) and some features change the design. In order to add this feature we have to fix dozens of other tests. I’ve seen people on multiple projects team up to fix these, take over a day working together, and still not be done. They always try to tweak the tests but the test assumptions fight them.

Meanwhile if we add a feature that invalidates a unit test, you just delete the unit test and start over. Unit tests are cattle, E2E tests are pets.
This is a good point. A lot of founders seem to want to protect or hide this information. Usually that's a red flag for me, but it's common. I think it needs to me more normalized and formalized.
Everyday someone is born who hasn't seen everything, or anything.

We've added a Slack workspace and monitor analytics. Given that it started as an internal platform, we asked our internal users on what sucked, why were they not using the product. We note everything. We improve based on highest-impact/pain. Rinse, repeat.

How to install drivers for old Nvidia on pop os?
Impressive that this didn't get worn away.
Having one party in control of most major cities, where most crime is, for 50+ years now is working wonders.
It's pretty scary that an advocacy organization gets to be an "independent" fact checker. The ones that are at least nominally independent definitely show their biases but this is really egregious.
I agree. It's not as if police actively go searching for murderers to catch. They respond to issues that have already happened.
You are wrong. Get vaccinated.
*except Macs. I daily drive my desktop with Linux and occasionally game with Windows (it’s set up to be my driver as well with WSL2, but that happens rarely). I’ll only use Mac laptops. I’ve screwed around with others, but for about 18 years they have been the only ones that have been reliable, with good build quality, and no molten backpacks yet.
Your comment matches my experience very well. I had the same experience as GP and OP with low-quality e2e tests at my job. I got fed up four years ago, started something new from scratch, and now I'm the BDFL you mentioned, for a bunch of teams working in a common testing framework.

The main thing is indeed enforcing high quality standards even when individual engineers aren't very invested. You've identified some good practices right in your post, but it can take some time for people to learn these principles. And they can be reluctant if they see it as a waste of time. "These are just tests, I need to do my real work!"

For me, the crucial thing here is to avoid building things that are just for testing. If you tell someone that sleeping here is not good enough, and they need to build something more elaborate - then it's much more compelling if you can figure out how to build that so it's not just useful for a test, but also useful in production. This can be things like more flexible configurations, recovery tools for emergencies, new monitoring scripts and systems... all kinds of stuff.

If you stay focused on building things that are flexible enough to be used for both testing and production, then your life gets harder in some ways, but you can be much more strict about requiring high-quality work.

It's very possible though that the guy was selling "illegal" Qurans, prayer mats and incantation beads, all of which are illegal material in Communist China. There's no chance in hell he could have legalized that business whatsoever, simply because the Chinese government does not take a liking to the Muslim faith (partly because they can't control it like they control the churches due to its decentralized nature).

I've always had success with hibernate. Does this stuff bypass hibernate now too?
We've seen this before. At first, the E2E tests automate a bunch of tedious manual tests. Then they become the team's "automated test suite." Then nobody (except true believers) tests their code anymore, because "our automated test suite" will surely catch any problems. Then everything starts breaking down the way the author cites.

The E2E test suite needs to be thought of differently from a "test suite." It's the last safety net to disprove that the build is worth [manual testing | dogfooding | beta release | prod release]. Any bug found there should be worth a postmortem -- even one as short as "oops, new guy forgot to update the unit tests! fixed, won't happen again!" Of course, bugs will get through to the safety net, even in a system that's working well. But they should always trigger the question whether and how the bug could have been caught earlier.

The dominant mindset these days is that prison should be about rehabilitation, not punishment. It sounds wonderful and unobjectionable on its surface. But it is wrong. Not entirely wrong, but wrong nonetheless.

Because prison also serves as a risk reduction measure for the general public. While I do want our justice system to try its hardest to rehabilitate people, I hold the abhorrently unpopular opinion that some portion of the population just needs to be kept away from the rest. I hear plenty of local news stories about a suspect who has 20+ prior offenses being let go from custody awaiting trial. Why in the world do we let people with such a track record out of jail, much less with no cash bail?
