Almost no blog "adds value" just 4 posts in.

Maybe 100 posts in a well written blog provides credibility, organic search traffic, possibly starts to build an audience amongst your potential customers, and if you're lucky a viral post or two that'll help you ratchet those things up by an order of magnitude each time.

My question after skimming the first para of your 4 posts is "Who are you, what's your area of expertise, and what are your credentials there?"

The internet is awash with hot takes on what it takes to become a startup billionaire, why should I read yours instead of just waiting for pg's next post?

My next question is "Who are you hoping to 'add value' to here?"

Followed by "Why are you writing this? Who do you hope reads it? What do you hope they'll do if they read it?"

It's pretty easy to answer those questions (with a range of overlapping and simultaneous answers) for pg's blog. Or patio11's blog. Or Jacques Mattheij's blog. Or Cloudflare's blog. Or the Uber Engineering blog. Or most of the other blogs in my rss reader.

What are your answers?
This is also the same thinking for why so many random companies have blogs with marginally relevant keyword-specific content written by people with little domain expertise (e.g. contract content writers)
So people should be priced based on the things outside their control rather than those they can control?
Pretty cool!

I'm curious as to why this is offered as a cloud machine and not something that runs locally. Wouldn't the encoding performance on a free or cheap cloud instance be poor?

I create a lot of video compilations using twitch and youtube videos as source. My internet is 5Mbps down, 3Mbps up, so it can take hours to download long video streams and extract just the parts I want.

Because of my network limitation, I found a way to combine ffmpeg and youtube-dl to grab sections of video from a twitch or yt video. The following is an example which replicates the videodownloadtool.io example.

ffmpeg -ss 00:15:34 -to 00:16:09 -i $(youtube-dl -f best -g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf2tplcb6eE) -vf "crop=(iw*0.75):(ih*0.80):(iw*0.20):(ih*0.08)" ./output.mp4
I tried 13" 4K laptops on display at BestBuy, which has scale set to 300%, and I saw display artifacts.
I can tell you how to lose at CORS in Chrome. If your browser caches a response, and sometime later you mutate the request by adding the "Origin" header it (e.g, add attribute crossorigin="anonymous" to a <script> tag), Chrome won't make a new request. What it will do is use the cached response, which is missing the ACAO response header, and thus the browser rejects a file from its own cache via draconian security policy.

There are many ways to lose at CORS and this one is my story.
Reminds me of the time when the president of Romania told Bill Gates to his face that the Romanian IT industry has grown to where it is today thanks to everyone pirating Windows.[1]

I'm still wondering what went through Bill's head hearing that.

It’s not necessarily about the danger to them, but the danger of their transmitting to others. Even vaccinated, there are people who are immunocompromised and less protected.

And then honestly - I know a number of people who have had Covid after being vaccinated and it still sucks. If I can reduce the chances that my kids come home and get me sick, I’m on it in a second, assuming it’s safe (and it is).
Usually the same ones who then download plugins like

because properly configuring the backend is ¨too complicated¨.

Been there, done that.
I love the term "collective fuck." Also, thanks for feeding my curiosity. I gotta look this up now.
Dear webmaster, please disable word wrap in code blocks.
But how is an alternative? It's half the money. Reminds of a Russian joke: daughter asks mom for milk. Mom says sure there's a pale of water underneath the bed
I’m holding out for their non-Oculus support, which is coming Soon™ according to their FAQ.
I am not sure about that. Widespread ill-health that is managed not cured is funded by raising the rates. They got plenty of actuaries to take a "neutral position" with whatever bad shit is a public health disaster.
One note: 'Yours truly' is typically used to refer to oneself, so it seems that you are claiming to be the indicted pilot.
No. Truly passionate programmer doesn't ship at all, they create work for themselves.

Earning money or not does not recognise the difference between hobby and profession. Ironically a lot of hobbyists make money and very few professionals work for free.

Are you worried about the impact your diet has on the environment?
How much time does it take to replace legacy code?
I have both -- the Oculus Quest 2 is better on both fronts, it's lighter and the screen is better.
I don't see the point of your argument. I don't see any reason for excluding people who "think that facebook or insta are the internet" from it. If you desperately require more powerful tools to support the way you use the internet then there are powerful tools available; why use the lowest-common-denominator tool that is the browser?

I couldn't resist adapting your argument for food:

Why exactly should food be accessible for all people at all? When you are too lazy or dumb to grow your own food like it was before the coming of Jesus, you will think that McD's is the agriculture industry. That's the problem with today's agriculture. It's too accessible for too many ignorant people.
Seems like your HTML formatting opinions are very similar to the owner of the fetch spec!

Yeah, I don't always agree with Prettier, but ugh, I wasted hours in my early career arguing about formatting with teammates, but now I just let Prettier do it's thing, get over it, and spend the time on something else.
It was absolutely an option 5 years ago when I worked there. I knew lots of engineers who worked 80% and took every Friday off.

Not sure if your manager is forced to give you that option but it didn't seem to be hard to get at least. I think by default such requests gets accepted and your manager would need to give a good reason why you couldn't work part time.
Oh yeah forgot who ruined email, if that wasn't bad enough I can't even pickup the phone anymore because I get multiple scam calls per day.
The shitty thing is the US is generally OK with its citizens living abroad, and even encourages it.

Then in a completely separate line of decision making decides to make the lives abroad unnecessarily difficult.
Your text editor.
I don’t think you can comfortably use Q1 as monitor replacement. IMO, resolution is not enough for comfortable reading.
Barnett Newman was huge in the abstract movement. Like, founding member, broke new ground, legit The Man. “Wasn’t and still isn’t famous” is bs.

Voice of Fire cost less than $2M and is now worth over $40M. The furor was also bs.

VoF/B.N. were not scams.

What if there isn't? Isn't just the belief in a God going to affect the way you think and act?

We know for a fact that particles can come into existence spontaneously from a vacuum; it is happening literally all the time.
I feel like those 2 points are just excuses(no offense but plenty of people would kill for a chance to even go to college)...if you were to go back would you hold off graduating college until after the recession? It sounds like you are extremely proficient in the technical space, are you good at negotiating and/or identifying where the value is? There is really no reason for someone to stay on a linear pay progression when moving from one job to the next, or even one title to the next.
> It's only works in the Apple ecosystem currently and is only a technical preview, but it's a cool idea to reduce the number of registrations you have to do and reduce the chance of getting locked out of websites by losing your WebAuthn key.

There is work being done to try to create a realistically usable cross-device (e.g. mobile phone as authenticator to my desktop) support leveraging Bluetooth LE. One could hope for a future where say an iPhone with these WebAuthn "PassKeys" (as Apple branded them) could be used to authenticate with a Windows laptop.

There are also draft features which would allow a site to detect you are going cross-platform, and offer to add an additional local Windows Hello mechanism to streamline the process in the future.
It would be nice if the FAA were able to bill large companies making planes the public is intended to fly on commercially for all of the hours required to process the 'type certification' fully and exhaustively.

That process would include validating all aspects of the mechanical specifications and changes of parts (reused already OK parts from the same authorized suppliers would be a quick check-off), mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer software, and any changes for maintenance and end operators.

Describing it fully like that, I believe the only benefit to 'type certification' should be training for the end users, but major overhauls should require retraining and that should be caught.
We have been happy customers for many years. It has been a breeze to manage and upgrades, backups, and DR have been very good for us. For an on prem software of this complexity it is quite a feat. It has also always been at a very reasonable and affordable price point for enterprise-y on prem software. As an infosec consultancy that used it for projects and code we always appreciated being able to manage the security of our installation.
'and dole out severe punishment for bad behaviour'

When will Boeing CEO and Board of Directors get locked up as part of the severe punishment?
I feel that there is an often unasked question when it comes to discussions about the existence of god. So what? What if he does exist? Why does it automatically follow that we should worship him, pray to him, live our lives for him, etc? Why immediately assume he's good?

What if ants in an ant hill see the relatively god-like figure of a 6 year old come and stand over their hill? It's probably 50/50 that he's there to dump water on the hill and destroy it or he is there to simply observe, let alone give them eternal life.

I've yet to see a convincing explanation for the existence of suffering. Mostly a lot of handwaving about "mysterious ways" and "plans". We fail to hold god to the same standard we'd hold ourselves to if we could prevent childhood cancer or genocide with the snap of our fingers. You'd be a monster to withhold that power if you were a human being, but somehow god does it out of "love".
I'd like to add a small point not mentioned in many other comments. The rational, conscious part of the human experience is actually pretty small. Jonathan Haidt calls it the "rider that tries to control the elephant". It is good to occasionally have experiences that are outside the usual rational thinking of daily life. It helps the "rider" remember that the elephant also exists and that it acts on different levels than just logic and conscious thought. In fact, we mostly just use logic to try to explain what the "elephant" already figured out intuitively. It's good to try to listen to it.
I see your last statement as lacking nuance.

Not yet fully complete but many women have options to do/be something other than a mother/homemaker. That will naturally lead to less children.

Equally these days, with both parents having to work to make ends meet many couples feel they don't have the resources to support many children.

Lastly, modern death rates don't implicitly demand the "have a couple to spare" approach either.
I have a quest 2 and I don’t think it’s a great monitor replacement, especially as someone with multiple 4K screens. The resolution isn’t good enough to comfortably read for extended periods IMO.

E: out of curiosity, I pulled up immersed to browse this thread on HN and my eyes can't take it for too long.

If you do use it as a monitor replacement, here's a suggestion: make your screens small and keep them close to you. Scanning with your eyes doesn't work as well, you should be moving your head a lot more.
Okay, but it is hilarious that the governor is accusing the person here of “converting” and “decoding” “the code”, when what they actually did was decline to convert or decode the document the government delivered & just read it instead.
Were your examples vaccinated? This thread is talking about having issues with /others/ not being vaccinated. My point stands: if the vaccine works, why am I (a vaccinated person) worried about what someone else does?

I can keep taking boosters, keep wearing masks, keep trying to stay healthy. That has nothing to do with people (who are not me) doing whatever they want with their situation.
Immersed is free on the oculus store, so I don’t think there should be a problem with installing it from SideQuest.
So... It posts code as an image and prevents search and copy-paste?
Getting this too, seems like it's down. http://trycloudflare.com/ doesn't resolve to anything either.
The entire EAD must be read, not the first paragraph. Including the digressions (your phrase). It's only two pages.

I am not a pilot. But I am an aerospace engineer who worked on critical flight detail designs. You've likely flown on my work. My father was a pilot for the AF for 20 years. You don't get to be an old pilot if you don't pay attention 100% to the instructions and training. Flying isn't like driving a car. Humans are not natural flyers. You rarely get a second chance if you make a mistake flying.

Maybe 90% of flight training is dealing with emergencies. If you're not dedicated to doing it right, and doing it 100%, every time, you've got no business being a pilot with hundreds of lives depending on you.

P.S. I've gone flying with pilot friends many times. I watch them do the preflight. If they're not 100% perfect with it, I'm getting off.
Launching to the public first and warm leads second is backwards.

You should put it in front of some of your warm leads immediately. In my experience, whatever you’ve made will need to be changed (probably significantly) after you get feedback from actual customers using it.

Put something in front of real customers now, iterate based on their feedback, and repeat. Launch to the public when you have happy customers.
Author here! The post covers this detail. This happens because your response is missing a Vary header.

Getting Vary right isn't just important for Chrome, it's important for CDNs too.
It's not really the Marxian concept at play here. There's no measure of the organic composition of capital and of returns on capital to measure the exploitation rate that a Marxian economist would use. A Marxian economist would rather find that the rate of profit per unit of capital which is equal to the average rate of exploitation is relatively within norms. A Marxian economist would probably consider that Google at a 20% overall profit margin with the vast majority of expenses being labour or themselves mostly a labour cost in their production to be, while exploitative, much less exploitative than paying 20$ in wages to make a product then sold at a 400$ profit. Certainly the Apple hardware divisions are much more exploitative.

Certainly not even close to the level of exploitation that there was in 19th century England when the rate of return on capital was of around 30%, and where the most profitable mills often had over 50% profit margins, well ahead of even Google on their best years.

Instead I'm using the common, modern usage of exploitation, which is to pay someone very little to make a lot of profit from them.
I have had both and although the Quest 2 has shitty lens adjustment that doesn't fit my IPD (pupillary distance) correctly, the clarity on the Quest 2, thanks to the higher resolution display and full-RGB pixel matrix vs pentile on the Quest 1, was just miles better than on the Quest 1 which had a better IPD adjustment system that fitted my eyesight. Couple this with the lower weight, more comfortable strap (I know), more powerful processor, higher refresh rate, the Quest 1 can't even hold a candle to the Quest 2.

Sold the Quest 1 immediately and kept the Quest 2.

Although I wouldn't use either as a monitor replacement for more than 30 minutes. The tech is just not there yet for eye-stranious work like reading small text like code. Best kept for entertainment and content consumption.
That sounds like the side-effect list of some major prescription medications. I am thankful I have none of that.
Oh god, this guy again. The title is misleading clickbait, as is the case with every recent article about his papers.

This isn't revealing "Ethernet cable traffic contents". This is using crafted data over the wire to produce specific measurable (low bandwidth) RF emissions that can be picked up externally. It's obvious that this would work, and doing a proof of concept is a weekend project for anyone with an SDR.

Just like that "RAM as WiFi transmitter" (not really WiFi, just radio noise) and the previous one with GSM (same story) and all his other covert channel papers, this is completely boring stuff that requires malware on the sending side to leak data. His papers are superficial and he never attempts to measure maximum practical channel bandwidths, or do any other useful science. He's literally getting hundreds of times lower bandwidth than what would be theoretically possible with his approaches, because he doesn't actually know how to use proper encoding schemes or optimize his receiver/demodulator. It's all extremely low effort.

Every time he just comes up with a random idea of "something that can be measured externally from a computer", from spurious radio emissions to temperature to LEDs, then makes the minimum viable PoC to encode data over it and measure it externally, and cranks out a paper. Every single time. He's running a paper mill, nothing more. None of this is useful research, anyone can come up with his ideas and test them in a few hours. And he's really good at getting a news cycle out of it through misleading clickbait titles; he's really taken a liking to that recently.

All this air-gap jumping nonsense he describes only applies if you already have malware inside your air-gap. And if you do, well, the only way you're going to be able to stop leakage is to put the tainted computer in a concrete bunker surrounded by a Faraday cage and running off of isolated batteries. This isn't news.

FWIW, his clickbait theme was one of the things that inspired me to release https://M1RACLES.com the way I did. It's sad seeing real infosec issues getting mixed in with irrelevant clickbaited stuff that nobody cares about. And it works; a whole bunch of news sites didn't even bother to read past the first page of that site....
They said “linearly with the population size” not “linearly in time”.

Do you know what that means? The way you responded seems to suggest you didn’t.
Can we stop it with the comically big phones now? (2020)
This is the old PC master race thing again. Well duh, of course the Quest 2 is garbage compared to your $3k VR setup, but a $300 flat entry point to the VR space - no additional purchase or PC required - is undeniably a good thing for everyone.
There is such thing as too much regulation. If they had more funding, that would lower industrial output simply by sucking engineers away from productive activity. That’s even if it doesn’t negatively affect aviation with too much regulation.
These questions are exactly why you should read Spinoza’s Ethics.
FAA could have looked at how the fans were upsized and pushed forward to avoid dragging on the runway, and called for a new type certification. The FAA failed by allowing Boeing to not get a new type certification, which would have required greater scrutiny of the new airframe.
If you have a website (jgirvin.com ?) I'll just keep tabs on that. Thanks for the recipe outlines.
Text is better for accessibility and usability.
Standalone is great, especially for fitness application. I can't imagine ever using a wired setup, but I get your use cases might be different.

The first LA crew was not aware of the existence of MCAS, nor did they have the benefit of the Emergency Airworthiness Directive. But they worked the problem and solved it and landed safely.
I agree and I hope this is the route that they will follow.
You're right, the real issue is CloudFront won't include Origin in the Vary response header if it wasn't included in the initial request. And if you change your HTML attributes, you're changing your request, but you essentially end up with a poisoned local cache. Rolling out crossorigin="anonymous" on previously cached assets is a subtlety you won't know about (even if you think you know CORS) until your site breaks as critical assets are missing.
Nope. There's a difference between having the power to rewrite an idea and actually appealing to others to follow suit.

In one case the other is rewriting what happened, the other is claiming that what happened was done only for the reason of _____.

I don't know any logical reasons why someone would invent this. I know a fair few illogical ones. We don't really live in a logical world, constantly inventing idiocy.

I could go on (all night) but I trust you all get the point. I have two questions.

First, at what point can we say “Emre, you’re really bad at writing code. There are lots of other jobs. Find another.”

Second and more importantly for the future of the web, how can we as an industry protect innocent users from projects like this?? This monstrosity has over 1 million active installs and the chuckle head doesn’t have a fucking clue how to write SQL.
There were a few points during the video where I thought “that guy doesn’t like his hands very much”
"This will be a massive licensing stream in the future"
This particular video may be a hoax- I confess to inowing nothing about that particular channel. However... Over at Dave's Garage, one of the original developers of task manager at Microsoft gets into more or less exactly this. It doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to imagine a similar concept as OP ocurring in task manager.

I'm not convinced by this explanation of Amazon's search suggestions.

Are we really saying that there are lots of users who not only confuse the Amazon interface for a browser, but also enter URLs replete with https:// at the beginning?

It seems much more likely that Amazon includes their product URLs in their suggestion set.
Wow, that's magic!

(It depends on youtube-dl -g producing a video URL that ffmpeg understands, which unfortunately is not always the case.)

"The Galaxy, and the Ground Within" by Becky Chambers (Book 4 in the Wayfarers Series) not only deals with a mixed alien usability environment, it also passes an alien Bechdel test of sorts.

Wow thanks. Pretty sure YC did not invest in this idea - they invested in the CEO who must’ve pivoted to this.

Although I will say the day 1 trial was a good aspect. You can tell a lot about how a person works in 1-2 days. Easier for smaller companies than larger companies
Any similar caching plugin would you recommend instead?
