We have parties, large gatherings all the time. Those take a lot of work.

Frankly the people who typically tell me this also tend to have less fun than we do. We're constantly drinking partying and having fun with each other. I'm not against taking breaks. But even the word 'break' implies that it is a departure from the norm
From an ethical standpoint, any code that amplifies and profits from radical speech should be fair game for release. If employees or hackers feel the need to release info in that regard, so be it. This is the risk defined in such models and should be mitigated accordingly.
Also AMP it's disabled for Firefox on Mobile (Android)
Everything is just a crud app with a few extra steps.... yet you're not Zuckerberg or Dorsey
The code you get with a trailing comma is valid SQL just like the one you get without, and both have different meanings.

The language is just too lenient with syntax, what is quite on the line for a "human legible" language from the late 70's and earlier 80's, but a really undesirable characteristic in practice. Unfortunately, nobody is doing a "better SQL", just radically different things that often not even support the same DB engines. And those have a real hard time getting popular, so we are stuck with the late 70's speculative innovations.
Not particularly - unless different teams are highly focused on certain subsections of the repository. If everyone might have to look anywhere than you'll need to download all the repos - whether that's one or five hundred.
Clean OS install or new hardware should both be daily events at even mid sized companies. Because even if it’s once every 2-4 years per developer that still becomes extremely common in aggregate.
I don't think it's really fair to reduce it to dick measuring when there's just a ridiculously enormous class divide.
Targeted ads. Targeted. As in specifically and exquisitely targeted to individual people based upon datum gathered from surveiling everyone.

Still legitimate, and maybe even encouraged, are contextual ads, banners, sponsorships, branding, swag, paid placement, influencers, misc calls to action, etc.

Please rest your concerns. Late stage capitalism will continue unimpeded after Facebook's wings are clipped. Social media will revert to less noxious enterprises, like metafilter and craigslist.

> HN is an algorithmic feed.

Opt-in. Transparent.

What is FB's equivalent to HN's /newest?

I'm not crazy about HN's ranking. It's pretty good, non-toxic, seems fair. But someone other than me is making judgement calls.

I much prefer client side (user controlled) filtering and sorting, like with any generic RSS reader.

Repeating myself: All HN visitors see the same feed. A crucial qualitative point you pointedly do not acknowledge.

Nor do you answer any of my questions.
I don't think "number of credit cards in your wallet" is subject to Moore's Law.
I used to have one on my contact page. In total I got 2 chats in the time I received 50+ emails. Totally not worth it, especially as for one chat I couldnt even reply before the user abandoned the page.
Reconstructing TypeScript, part 3: operators and singleton types
You're right. This is a silly mistake on my part in rushing out this piece. I apologize. Thanks for pointing this out -I've since taken out the paragraph.
Yep and "man" used to mean human, with "Wer" and "Wif" distinguishing the genders. It only became masculine-specific later.
All standard computer components require a regulated voltage, then they consume power as a consequence of their operation. The steady voltage is required because the transistors in ICs will break down if voltages go too high, or stop operating if they go too low. Forcing something like an IC to always use the same amount of power, even if it were idle, isn't really possible, because nobody would build it that way.
Relatively useless...but if even a few percent of people recycle passwords used for banking or crypto platforms it could be a profitable cache of data.
They require a physical touch.
They are right. We addressed the comment and fixed the article.
That's better, but an app is still a pain without a phone. (I do believe there are alternatives that would run on a computer, though).
Would you like to propose or reference a way of doing bit-twiddling that is clearer than this?

Also hint: C doesn't breed bit-twiddling, writing software that actually interacts directly with hardware does.
I figure you could "build a Steam" in a couple of years, with the right engineers hitting the main features. There's very little magic at the technology level, and you can make life simpler and forget about minor things like the hardware survey or the pretty graphs. I'm not saying this is trivial, but it's definitely doable.

This is a far different statement than "You can build something and compete with Steam in a couple of years". Most of the really hard problems are not technical. Success ain't gonna happen without a bunch of pain, sweat, and strategic stumbles on the part of the competition.
I was just thinking about this earlier today with respect to Mastodon and federated social networks. As someone who has been very actively using Mastodon for years, it is frustrating — painfully frustrating — when people criticise it in the abstract. "It will never work" then why is it working? "People won't know how to sign up" it is easier to sign up than any the average email service - blah, blah, blah - actually it's not worth anyone's time answering these questions. Just use it. _use it_ for goodness sake.
"whaddya got?"
N, R, and F.
I'm not really sure that you are suggesting, but if they were 'reasonable', then the coin should actually be valued at the platinum's current price. That's how money is supposed to work.
Conflating AWS security with twitch security is probably the wrong way to think about it.

Within Amazon those are almost going to be two entirely separate companies, with very different security focuses.

The idea that Amazon is monolithic and uniform wasn't true when I left there in 2006, and I'm certain it is less so now.

And that isn't just that its related to the merger, but that fundamentally its different business orgs with different focus.
There's a bootloader (u-boot) written into flash memory in the RPi4 SoC that handles the early initialization of the core and finding a kernel to boot. Think of u-boot as the UEFI equivalent for your RPi.

Getting into C (or Rust) assuming the presence of some kind of system firmware (BIOS, UEFI, u-boot, coreboot, etc.) isn't too difficult in the grand scheme of things.

Not to toot my own horn much, but here's an example I did of getting into Rust on a 386EX SBC i had hanging around. I actually yanked out the BIOS chip and this replaces it. Please forgive any poor Rust practices, this was written in a hurry.

https://github.com/teknoman117/ts-3100-images/tree/master/ru...

I discovered a mind-melting bug where replacing the RTC clock chip / battery-backed RAM can erase the BIOS. This SBC uses the same flash chip for both user storage and the BIOS. The partition between the user area and the bios is stored in the CMOS ram, so if there is any junk in it, the BIOS might misidentify the flash boundaries and erase itself...

So, I wrote this to recover the boards. Bonus points were that I only had an 8 KiB EEPROM hanging around so it had to fit in 8K initially.
What I want to see is Cloudflare enable hosting static websites on R2. For me that would be an absolute game changer.

I know you can already host websites on Cloudflare using another service but I want to see R2 get enabled.
> otherwise, why would Apple even generate a key for themselves?

"For Messages in iCloud, if you have iCloud Backup turned on, your backup includes a copy of the key protecting your messages. This ensures you can recover your messages if you lose access to your Keychain and your trusted devices. When you turn off iCloud Backup, a new key is generated on your device to protect future messages and isn't stored by Apple." https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202303

Apple's been fairly prominently resistant to government snooping of this nature, to the point of getting in a public fight with the FBI over it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93Apple_encryption_d...

The Snowden leaks indicate the two alternatives you suggest, Google and Microsoft, joined PRISM before Apple did, stating "98 percent of PRISM production is based on Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)
Cue "Don't check payment receipts into git" discussion - although I strongly suspect this hack wasn't just about acquiring appropriate credentials and then running `git clone`. It sounds to me like a backup service was compromised.
Samsung Foundry to Almost Double Output by 2026
They have to be a non-profit too? Isn't that an unreasonably high bar?
I’m so misread, Twitch is a lot of luck, so is all of these companies. Show me the the source code for luck. I don’t give a fuck if you leaked a video streaming crud app code lol.
It's not optimal. We should normalize doing work on Saturday. I'm fine with not having paid work or making it so that employment is four days a week, but most suggestions I've seen imply that the purpose of the new day is to relax.

I think if we pursue this policy the newly available days need to be normalized so that the day is set aside for personal work.

Personally I'd like to see us slowly ease out of employment and demand that more people work for themselves. By most proposals of a four day week are simply against working.
I dunno, I bought a cheap-o Fossil watch a couple years ago on a whim, and I actually ended up using the Google Pay feature most of all. Being able to leave my phone and wallet in my backpack while I pay for coffee felt like a whole new level of real-life Disneyland.
The UK forces private companies to share some high level financial information publicly on Companies House. As a non-UK company, I can spy on my UK competitors' finances while they cannot spy on mine. Insanity.

And given how the average person experiences jealousy, I wouldn't want salaries to be public. I already feel uncomfortable when family members ask me how much money I make, because I know they'd only use it to compare themselves to. This kind of comparison is toxic in society.
> Just co-locate your stuff, please.

No thanks, too time consuming and too many liabilities.
Cloudflare still has to pay for transit, so I don't see how hosting a 1GB video being served multi TB per month will work for them.
>Then I'm not sure what you can even do with those

Assume some end users used the same passwords on other, non-twitch accounts. That's what makes hacked passwords valuable, no matter where they came from.
Of course, some stuff you can't avoid, especially code leaking. Luckily code isn't usually that interesting or useful to external parties which is the only reason it isn't leaked more.

For the rest of the stuff, there's a sliding scale. In no universe does your average twitch developer need raw access to password hashes, for example.
Anxiety and depression is caused by children being allowed to relax and consume too much rather than engaging in productive, achievement based labor.
I'd prefer to keep my finances private, thanks. No good can come from nosey-ass family members, scammers, sales people, etc knowing this kind of information.

It doesn't fight against tax evasion or anything, because the wealthy of the world will have yet another incentive to mask their income / assets through any of the number of mechanisms currently available.

If you want pay transparency to fight pay inequality, then anonymized pay based on role / job title should suffice.

Any legitimate need for such information can either be obtained through asking, or through the courts. At least then, I have a say in the matter and a right to defend myself in cases where I believe it necessary.

People are entitled to privacy. I wouldn't want random people knowing my salary anymore than I'd want them knowing what medications I take.
why rush a piece?
You are asked for your ID in cases of buying a beer and driving a car because government law dictates it as a necessity. You are asked for your ID when you rent a car because it ties to Insurance, which is a regulated industry.

Government law does not require verification of each account user by law in the case of social media. There is a distinct difference there.

A police officer asks you for ID during a violation or for identification in terms of upholding the law. You aren't required to present your ID to other (non official) citizens on the street unless they are working in an official capacity or the law dictates that you must do so, otherwise your information can be easily stolen or misused because that person has no responsibility nor training in terms of how to properly handle and protect your personal information.

Imagine if you were asked for ID each time you bought a burger at McDonalds... Pretty silly right?

Now imagine what FB can potentially do with access to your information and behaviors through their app. A modern mobile phone can tell them a lot about you and your behaviors.
I’m not sure exactly what you mean by active migration tool, but my understanding is that they copy objects from s3 to r2 on the first request. So if you have infrequently accessed objects they won’t be copied and you won’t be double paying storage until it’s first requested.
We have one in our app, I've been amazed how users have reported so many bugs, feature requests, and tiny issues through it. Chat widget was totally worth it.
Right, but presumably the site is already asking for a password, and if the attacker can bypass one password, im not sure its a safe assumption that they cant bypass two. However fair enough. Some yubikeys do involve fingerprint scans too though.

The main security benefit is unphishability. With yubikey/webauth crypto is used so you can't give the code to the wrong website. Phishing is a pretty major cause of account hacks generally, so pragmatically that is a very big win.
It's fairly well established that eyes of males (sex not gender) are not as good at distinguishing blue vs green as female eyes. If you were born male, your eyes most likely can't see blue and green as well as your friends who were born female.

That's why you hear all those stories about men arguing with their wives about blue vs. green.
Well yess... Being a human individual in this country entitles you to believe and speak how you want. Nazis are still humans, despite their behavior
> What if we asked: “how do you manage your finances?”

> These problems are complex and you need a monumental amount of information to get them right.

> Bullshit.

Exactly. Just stop being poor. It's such a simple solution to a 'hard' problem. Not being poor gives you access to 'paying someone' to make it easier to further stop you from being poor. Just break the cycle and stop being poor! Simple
So Apple and other manufacturers should optimize - and components should cost more - for the use case of _churning_, versus more everyday use?

People carrying all those cards to churn or min-max their rewards are already paying with the inconvenience of managing all those accounts.
>Inflation eats savings

Well, spending eats it faster.

>Being 'good' with money basically keeps you at the exact same socioeconomic level but risk-taking and entrepreneurship generally correlate with social mobility.

Implied in there is that the goal of savings should be to increase your standard of living, but for some I think the goal is to maintain their current standard of living over time even as their income changes.

Granted many savers might already be at a comfortable standard of living, maybe as the result of prior successful risk-taking. Learning to develop your earnings potential in your 20s is probably the best savings strategy (but you should learn to save too).
We've heard this a few times and will support it :). Also, shameless plug for Cloudflare Pages to host on CF today.
This is a bit hyperbolic, and a little unbelievable. Is it possible that you experienced a bug in Facebook? Or that someone else had access to your account, which prevented the deletion? You've essentially asserted that you've caught Facebook lying about the account deletion process, while not showing us any proof outside of your comment.

Not located in US/UK/Europe, however my deleted account is fully deleted. Can't even 'reset' the password on it since there's no email found when I try to use the reset.

I don't like Facebook, but I don't think there's a point in getting riled up by one person's comment on HackerNews. It reminds me of the thread where someone was claiming they were under surveillance for using ProtonMail.
Doesn't seem likely to me. If the attacker has password hashes then they would want to keep this attack quiet so that the buyer of the hashes would have time to compute the passwords. If Twitch gets wind of this happening then a simple password reset would foil any efforts.
Not worth the read. The author just brags about their experience a bit, dumps on Lisp a bit, and praises Go a bit, without actually providing any interesting or new information.

There's a _small_ metaphor about Clojure being Japanese. They don't even explain why "Go is Korean."
Neophites?

> can't take you seriously as a system architect or os developer

I dont think OS devs and Sys Architects are the intended audience. What might be helpful is if those rather busy people could chip in with their knowledge to improve said project rather than off-handedly dismiss it.

It is afterall being made available freely and some devs who aren't low level proframmers might find it a good reason to learn something low level as an OS, don't you think so? Wouldn't it be nice?
I tried and tried to fix a dysfunctional environment on a contract and my boss (also from the contract company) kept telling me “you can’t fix stupid”. Oddly despite being upbeat he was the first to quit.

I have driven culture forward before, but a couple lucky breaks can make you think you have more control than you really have and subsequently failing to change other people can feel like a personal failing instead of their issues being the problem. Internalizing that is toxic and that’s what my boss was trying to say but didn’t have the words.
> It always struck me as weird that the American Dream can best be lived in Scandinavia

It should strike you as weird, because that's false.

The American Dream can be best lived by Scandinavians in the US. Scandinavians do better in the US than they do in Scandinavia and that has been true for the past century. Among the US population, people from Scandinavia and or of Scandinavian descent produce exceptional outcomes.

Comparing primary demographics to primary demographics, white Americans are richer than white Scandinavians at both the median and average. They have higher incomes and greater wealth. And Scandinavians in the US are far richer than Scandinavians in Scandinavia, at both the median and average.

If Scandinavia is so great, how come their people do so much better here and always have? Scandinavian culture + the US system = vastly superior outcome.
It'd be a better analogy to say he complains about you flooding his yard or setting trees in the park on fire. The way you worded it diminished the US' contribution, which is almost 4x the global avg per capita.

That aside, whoever speaks second appears to be the one accused of engaging in whataboutism. Just make the neighbor complain first, and then you're the one doing a whataboutism.

Both of those aside, the authorities aren't forced to conflate two separate issues and begrudgingly support the status quo. Both can and should have consequences.
Approval voting is my favorite method as well. The best benefit IMO is that someome who votes the same as before is still making a valid vote, they've just set their approval threshold high enough that only one candidate meets it.
Building a UI Framework
Came across these 3-4 years ago when I was doing research on whether CF would be viable for a previous company.
More clicks?
As more and more states create their own legislation in this space, I've got a great startup pitch: Taxjar, but for each municipality's data laws - caters your Privacy Policy based on visitor IP (with requisite geolocation disclaimer before one is allowed to view the Privacy Policy, of course).

There's no innovation quite like compliance-driven innovation! C'mon gang, let's get coding.
Who decides what speech is radical enough to compromise the privacy of users?

And if speech is "radical" meaning to the point of illegality, shouldn't the legal system decide, rather than the court of public opinion?
B2 is also a lot slower egress than S3, by maybe an order of magnitude.
I used to work with the lead author of that paper. He's one of the smartest devs I know and has a great sense of humor. I'm not surprised that he would publish something like this or that he ended up at Google.
Oh I'm sorry, here's what I read:

"Building apps is easy as long as you don't have millions of users. For that you have to actually think about bottlenecks, the larger architecture etc."

(I agree with that)

What I wanted to express is that lots of engineers I personally know instead say

"Building apps involves thinking about every bottleneck in advance and optimizing for every possible user scenario and a global user base, regardless if the number of users is only ~100."
Has anyone used Excel’s Monte Carlo Simulation? I believe they’ve had it since Excel 1999.
x100. With emphasis

Any fixture that comes from China these days seems to have pot-metal screws, which will pop a head at the slightest torque. Or just because they feel like it.

Just buy a box of drywall screws, and two assorted (different length / size) packs of exterior screws and machine screws, preferably ones that comes in a nice divided box, and pull from there.
This got me to some interesting thinking. If the library contains no information because you need the information you look for, what about the ability of it to at least match to information you look for? Or put another way, the library does begin to have information if you have the information you're looking for. The fact of finding the particular information is different than the library not containing it.

I can't seem to figure out how to type this out in a way that maks sense but basically I'm thinking when an AI like GPT-3 is working its sort of sorting through the library of babel and finding words. Or when speaking its as though the library of babel is at immediate call in the brain, which sorts through near instantly finding the book that satisfies the next word. The website that allows browsing the library helps show what I mean, you can look on it and click random and search for information in it. The thing itself contains "no information" but it also does as in this case you may find something (first page I saw had the word 'beef')
Do you live outside the US? I always hear how popular WhatsApp is on here but honestly I don't know a single person who uses that app in the US. Or any chat platform for that matter. Everyone just texts and calls at least in my younger millenial circle. I guess in other countries they still charge for texts and calls like its 2002 and maybe WhatsApp is more popular there to get around paying for each text message?
This is something you can do too. Next to each post, by the 3-dot menu, select "Find support or report post." Click "False information", hit Next, and then hit Done. Voila! You have as much power as the U.S. government.
Onelogin was audited, and they had a security breach a year later.

Intuit, also audited.

Twitch? They have had audits done.

So, you can continue to sit here on hacker news and bitch that it "hasn't been audited" and therefor you aren't "free", or some shit. But either way, you sound like jackass that knows nothing about technology or freedom.

Freedom is not synonymous with "free", as in not having a cost.
No Surprises: A Framework for Software Quality
Cloudflare R2 is topical right now - that was the motivation. Not saying it was the right strategy to do so (clearly not given the mistake).
