I mean, China just banned ALL non-state-run news in China.

https://twitter.com/AngelicaOung/status/1446696323370000384?...

They also banned all non-state-run media from platforming any foreign media.

If you look at all of the restrictions imposed over the past few weeks, sometimes at the 11th hour, capriciously, on gaming, on english tutoring, etc I would not be hanging my company's future or profits on Mainland China.

You're either going to be forced to do things you don't want to do to appease them, and be subject to capricious punishment (e.g. banning Eternals because Chloe Zhao once said something milky milquetoast and indirectly critical of the CCP years ago, and by she happens to direct the film), or you're going to find the government working against you anyway as far as trying intervening to assist domestic competition.

Decoupling is really just common sense at this point until the current trend Xi's taking the country in hits its zenith and the pendulum swings the other way towards a more Deng-like faction. But right now, things seem headed towards an ominous course.

I would too, but we are also not normal.

Compared to the median person we have a much more engineering focused mindset, we have incomparably deeper technical knowledge and skill in computer programming and are far more willing to read.

That means that things that work well to target us may not work well for the average person. I finally understood this after thinking way to many times "why would anybody be stupid enough to do X" when it turns out the answer is lots of people.
I've been thinking about doing something similar with my SaaS business that does about $2k mrr, but did NOT consider something this comprehensive. Seeing this just inspires me even more to do the same.

pretty harsh take. Shatner was rambling and seemingly about to drift off. There were a lot of other people there, doing their own celebration (of what I'm not sure because they didn't all seem to be flight crew), nobody but nobody listening to Shatner. Bezos had to respond to other things going on around him and he did it in a relatively graceful manner.

Then, he turned his full attention back to Shatner. This interruption gave Shatner a moment to collect his thoughts and after the break he was coherent enough to keep his conversational partner's attention.
Even if you feel the verification that goes into a student ID is not strict enough, that could have been remedied in the very bill that was just signed into law. Why didn’t they, I wonder?

But I think student IDs do undergo a pretty significant verification. They are going to at least need transcripts and some other ID card like a driver’s license to prove your id. They do background checks as a matter of course for funding. Community colleges do verify residency to determine which tuition rate you pay. 99% of the students most community colleges are state residents anyway. They could have just made a requirement that state funded schools must display residency information and an expiration date in the card, and there would be no problem.
Sex yes but weight no. Such a weird law.
"push" means the data is pushed. as in without a request from you. it's mind boggling how you are not getting this. exchange is an example of this - you get email pushed to a listener on your mail client, without requesting that data. if you use pop3 however, you request the data and receive a response. you are arguing a request - a GET - the literal opposite of a push, is a push. this is something anyone who has used email would know, so you are being purposely dense, and this conversation is done - I will not read your reply.

as far as the crime, it's called unauthorized access to a computer system, and many people are in jail for it. whether that system is password protected or not makes absolutely zero legal difference.
>...doesn’t have to be...

That argues that there might be a first.

To be clear, I’m not saying there isn’t a first. I’m just saying this particular argument doesn’t support the assertion.
To quote Warren Buffett: "If you've got a cop following you for 500 miles, you're going to get a ticket". When you have someone or something following you every second of every minute, with a perfect memory and no other context, your insurance is going up. And I'm sure some will say Tesla's AI can get context through other drivers actions; that's not quite right though - Tesla only knows what the other vehicles are doing, not the drivers.
I have two remarks here: even if some procedural languages like C seem boiler plate-ish by requiring you to write everything instead of having a platform which offer a high abstractions that has two huge advantages: you are in absolute control and you understand everything from how the bits are layed out in memory and system calls to higher level business logic. So if you need to change something, add a feature, improve performance you know exactly where you have to intervene.
Encapsulating state is very bad on the large scale because you have hidden state in lots of places and you can't argue about what a program does, how it does it and how to modify it. You have to write lots of tests to make sure things won't broke.

In some very large OOP codebases adding features or fixing bugs becomes a nightmare. Every small change you make will break hundreds of tests and while you fix the code to pass those, you will break other tests. Thing that can take days at most in sane codebases might take weeks.
This. levels.fyi is quite accurate both in first-hand data and when discussing salaries with folks that are coming from companies represented on the site.

I speculate that one of the things that makes it hard to square with market data is that levels.fyi leads with total compensation which will include stock based comp. afaict people report their stock comp differently, sometimes it's the original offer value and sometimes it's the value at that time (which might be years after the grant was given). Since things are really going up right now... it can lead to some big numbers. These numbers are still real, but not necessarily what you would see in an offer.

The salary numbers, however, are spot on in my experience.
I assume they want you to use JetPack which offers all of that (for free.) I just use WPRocket for caching, it seems to be the best.

What do you mean by "real life robots"?
OK why did I get downvoted for this one?
I've heard people break the design/implement/test phases down to essentially equal parts in terms of cost. It's not a small task if you think about a government agency's testing capabilities potentially needing to be roughly 1/3 of what the private industry is throwing at it. I can see where they need to be pragmatic and adopt a stance where they're really just overseeing the vendor's testing and doing some spot checks. Not ideal, though.
Nice catch, I didn't see that while skimming the comments.

Islam does not have a concept of original sin attached to the descending of mankind to earth. Adam and his wife disobeying the command to eat from the forbidden tree is described as a "slip" in the Quran, not a monstrosity of a rebellion as seen in Christianity. Indeed, the Quran also says that before even creating Adam, Allah announced [to the angels] the purpose of Adam and his offspring is to be put on the earth as a vicegerent (Quran 2:30).

I define salvation as: 'being preserved in Heaven', and in Islam this is sought through forgiveness.

Quran 39:53 Say, “O servants of Mine who have transgressed against their own selves, do not despair of Allah’s Mercy. Surely, Allah will forgive all sins. Surely, He is the One who is the Most Forgiving, the Ever Merciful."
Get a ton of IP space while it was cheap and available several decades ago (mailchimp has multiple /17s and is old enough to drink).

Mailgun was a Rackspace product and had access to basically infinite amounts of Rackspace IPs.

Mailjet and Mailgun are both owned by a marketing company.

Other than that it's just a message queue exercise.
Spot on, maybe just an explanation of what "skill" means here: it's not just technical skills, beyond the "lowest terminal level" political skills matter more and more.
The Boeing program wanted Level B training only[1] which excludes flight simulator training, hence Forkner was trying to achieve that requirement by avoiding the need for pilots to undergo simulator training.

Even if you were to remove Forkner entirely from the decision making process, pilots would have been asked to fly an aircraft with a 'catastrophic' hazard only reduced to 'hazardous' by training pilots to respond to a very rare event within ~4 seconds of a failure event that the pilots weren't even notified of because the AoA sensor disagreement warning feature was an optional paid addon[2]. If a pilot were to take 10 seconds to respond... too late, the aircraft would likely have been lost[3].

Even with the best training in the world, is it reasonable to just expect pilots, within seconds, to be able to work around 100's of crap engineering and human machine interaction design decisions? As [3] notes, the lack of consideration of the pilot (as a human not a robot or computer) in the engineering design of the aircraft is glaring. Corporate Boeing wanted an aircraft that pilots didn't need to be retrained in, and thanks to unrealistic schedule expectations, they seemingly also didn't want to spend the time needed to remove all the HMI pain points that are inflicted on pilots.

Check this video out where he goes over his past projects: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6reLWfFNer0

The truth is, out of the dozen or so products he made, only two had real commercial success, NomadList and RemoteOK. So there is survivorship bias present, he just kept trying until he succeeded.

And if you walk in there, realize it's a restricted area, and start opening up file cabinets and reading confidential documents, you're now in jail. the security guard being there or not makes zero legal difference - things not being locked or blocked does not give you rights to them. thank you for proving yourself wrong.

I made a VR drumming setup and got the sounds from abelton. my thinking was if I ever wanted to release I'll have to take care of it then but only then :)

I'm using it without any plugins and disabled autocompletion anyway, because it just gets in the way irrespective of the shell. Like not completing tar filenames if it doesn't like the extension (tar axvf) even if the file is there. Modren distributions 'helpfully' enable completion by default.

I don't like the fact that you have no way to clear the history buffer if you've accidentally dropped a password at the prompt. Bash has history -c. I don't have shared history enabled, you could unset that and it'll stop segregating.

Anyway, zsh is a lot more versatile and familiar than tcsh for instance, so it's almost always my go to shell on FreeBSD as /bin/sh is quite limited, but also miles ahead of the Debian shell regarding features.

I think alternativeto.net is the database of software that already exists, many people use, and it would be better to focus on developing and promoting it, instead of creating new sites from scratch.
One problem for those people is that the motivation is wrong unless there is right view. If you don’t realise samsara, and don’t realise that everything is on fire (see fire sermon) and wish to escape, then why are you practising? Unfortunately for a lot of secular people the answer is: because I had a crazy psychedelic trip and I just feel that something deeper is there that I must explore. And this causes all kinds of issues, because they have no idea how to separate any insight they might have had in their trip from straight up visuals or intense emotions. Further they are interested in the truth for the sake of the truth, and the Buddha explicitly said that such paths can lead to madness. It’s just very dangerous to go deep into Buddhist insight practise without having proper motivations or guidance.

So you’re segmenting luxury phone market and saying Apple has no competition in that space except Samsung and others have tried for years to make luxury phones. iPhone users do not want them and it’s primarily due to preference. They don’t want to have to learn another os, they don’t like the look/feel, they don’t get a test drive option, etc. I just believe that’s their personal risk assessment that Apple benefits from but it’s not lock in because I just don’t think people really give a shit about iMessage that much. I have to believe the true perfect competitor you want them to have will have an acceptable solution as well.
Have you considered using a zero-copy serialization format like capnproto, Flat Buffers, or rkyv for binary IPC payloads? Or did you decide that getting that last increment of performance wasn't worth the trouble of using something less easy than serde?
While building new rectors might be impractical, it’s surely hypocritical of greens to be shutting down reactors that already exist?
I used to like D, but then, the GC story got too complex and nowadays for non GC there are many alternatives and for GC there's always C#, which I see covering 99% of the GC enabled use cases for D.

I really hate language bashing, and I'd have liked D to succeed, but I'm not sure where it fits anymore.
Earlier this year he tweeted: "http://remoteok.io is a single PHP file called "index.php""

https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1381709793769979906

This could theoretically be the most complex PHP file you have ever seen, but it's probably not. The message here is that's not what counts (number of files, complexity etc.). The message is: create something of value. If one PHP file does that, great.

It's also not what I said :-)

Admin is a good point though. I actually do miss that when working with node.
PHP initially came on the scene when Windows was very popular and important. This might explain why PHP provided good support for Windows.

In the ensuing decades:

- VMs for development have become more popular. You can run Windows but then easily develop on Linux using VirtualBox. Virtualization is very popular now when compared to the late 1990s/early 2000s. You also have WSL and WSL2 and cygwin

- Windows sadly is no longer the development platform of choice. Production runs mainly on Linux. Since deployment is on Linux, its a good idea that development happens on Linux to iron out any subtle platform issues and also get good support for native extensions in languages like Ruby, Python, PHP etc. Some server software/middleware (message brokers, databases, caches etc.) have much better support on Linux. This necessitates again using Linux rather than Windows for local development

- Due to the rise of mobile and web applications, the dominance of the Windows desktop platform has decreased. Not supporting Windows at one time used to be unthinkable but no longer

- The Windows platform in the late 1990s was arguably technically superior and robust when compared to its competitors. Now Linux and MacOS are robust and very capable as well

- MacOS has risen to become important amongst developers

- Docker runs on Linux

All these factors have led to Windows not being a first class citizen for many open source projects.

> If PHP never ran on windows it would never have ever gain its popularity, it doesn't matter if it's then deployed on Linux servers.

This is a historical fact. The situation in 2021 is different. If a new language is trying to break onto the scene today it must support Linux first. MacOS support often comes "for free" because of its BSD heritage. Windows is quite different internally and due to the reasons above, often lags behind in first class support for many open source packages. Platform support at the end of the day is a "network effect" and the network is with Linux/Unix currently.
You can use the origin announce headers from Firefox to block cors also, unsure if that works with chrome.

Wow. You are missing it. You are missing where they explicitly stated they sifted around for personal data, numerous times, and you are missing that sifting being what the company was complaining about. Personal as in insurance plans other people have. He explicitly states he did that after he found the bug. You're missing reading most of the post actually.

If that company decided to file charges against him, this HN post is an admission of guilt for a crime.
Nim's elevator pitch is looks like Python so it's easy to read/write, compiles down to C and then to native binaries, and runs so fast it'll make your head explode.

Very good point. Here is my take: maybe beiing able to build an audience is the main driver for success for a business (of course you also need a product). So the survivorship bias happened before you followed him.

Or more positive: maybe anybody who can build a big audience and knows to code will probably be successful in business.

> This isn't true. Google allows you to "scale" your work (eg 80% pay for 80% time).

Well.. sort of. My partner was doing 80% for 80% at goog for many years, which sounds like a good deal. Except the demands were more like 40-50 hours/week, with management always saying that full-timers were working way more than 50 hours, so at 80% salary you better be working 40-50hrs/wk.
It's possible to muzzle monopolist practices and politician-buying by billionaires in the west without applauding or descending into China-style totalitarian control. The obvious thing comes to mind if you follow the latter path: That you have simply replaced the manipulating power of very rich business people with the literally authoritarian power of political leaders with armies and police to enforce their rule (plus lots of public money they control as if it were their own). And even then, some of the businessmen you previously hoped to muzzle with such measures find ways to buy their way into the new political power structure.

Eventually try the same in the U.S and more likely that someone like Zuckerberg becomes one of those who can pull policing power strings than him being punished by "tough on billionaires" politicians with too much coercive authority.

As a basic bottom line, i'd prefer a country with a Bezos or Zuckerberg trying to manipulate me into depending on them to a country where a Xi can literally force my dependence at any time. Neither is ideal but the first at least leaves room for saying no without being imprisoned or killed.
as other friends have definitely replied with the answers in my mind I've been left with last piece of this beautiful comment:

> so rather than spend that time and attention on their actual child, the author would rather spend it writing whiny blog posts

first-of-all this is definitely a response of a non-parent or a parent with a nanny 7/24, because after spending 23 hours with your kid you give 1 hour to both her/him and yourself to cool off and chill. by the way you should not allow your kid to run around in the park 8 hours, as you should not allow your kid to a screen time of multiple hours. but, believe me you both need that 1 hour of screen time. some times just to relax sometimes for them to watch some educational / funny / interesting videos.

and you definitely need that an app that is actually the app that ALL THE VIDEO CONTENT, especially for children, in ALL LANGUAGES, in the world is currently uploaded and reachable globally, the app that you pay for this purpose to act properly, or perhaps have some features that you need.

this uninformed and disrespectful defense that you make on behalf of Youtube, an app, against its users' request for a feature, or "whining" for the lack of one, does not make sense.
