At least as far as int32 vs float32 goes, surprisingly float is easier to make fast in the hardware. This is because floats are composed of multiple sections that can be processed in parallel whereas all of the bits of and integer addition, for example, have a serial dependency.
It all changed after the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) passed in 1986. Before that, there were no federal crimes against hacking. I don’t remember any state statutes, either, but there may have been some scattered around here and there. My state certainly did not have any or I’d have been in “juvi”.
> In Dec 2001 China was admitted to the WTO and a boom in exports followed which still holds

The currency manipulation, still ongoing, which enables China to be artificially competitive to the point where it threatened US economic health in the manufacturing regions and aided the rise of Trump etc, all make a US centric analysis very relevant to the US. NBC is a US news agency after all.
> “You can’t be short it in scale,” agrees the short seller. Like some of the others who fundamentally dislike it, he even has a small position in bitcoin. “If it goes up, I’ll make a little bit of money. If it goes to zero, I’ll be so happy, I will gladly lose the money.”

The attitude that pervades HN in regards to crypto. This website is not a good place for discussion regarding blockchain technologies.
I remember the l0pht bbs :)
This is happening in Europe! "Finland has joined France, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic in lobbying the European Union to categorize nuclear power as sustainable."

At last, some actual hacker news!
Crypto has never gone through a major economic crisis and when there were short term panics it always dropped significantly. Being without a central bank also means there is no limit to how far it can drop.
It’s hard for me to rate the content. I couldn’t get past the sketchy dark pattern of a site that tracks me and sells my data for marketing with an “accept all cookies” button, while making it much harder to find the process for opting out. At that point it’s easier for me to just opt out of using the site.

It’s too bad because I’d love to read some good technical articles, and this sounds like an interesting topic.
Those liberal hackers are at it again, trying to suppress faith based truth.
ahh..this is i feel going to be a controversial take, but it isnt said with malice.

the history of mudge and l0pht are more interesting than they are useful. if you want to get 202X security chops though, digging up the past isnt really the way. its more of a thing to do a deep dive into because youre interested, not because you expect anything out of it.

there are other researchers like gruqg who chronicle the exploits of old teams like l0pht and ACIDBITCHEZ under the guise of teaching the new wave about LOL hacking (living off the land), but i personally think they are doing it more for the reasons one writes a history book; cause its interesting.

if you want to learn LOL, read mandiant APT markers. thats how modern hacking is done, its really not at all like it used to be. i myself am happy to offer the following ocunterpoint though; the number one ranked hackerone bugbounty is dawgyg, an ex blackhat whose come in and dominated the bb scene in a huge way. i counter my counter point with the thousands of guys who make a solid living doing bug bounty who do not posess the old skills. they arent a requirement to make it in modern sec, because things are just different.

they were a bunch of badass cowboys who became the first to "make it". big boy jobs, wide spread respect in the community, inspiring a generation like egypt etc who went on to do metasploit work.

i am keen as a BEAN for grugqs book to come out, because to me, its fascinating, interesting and inspiring. mudge has been my personal hero since i found out about him when i was in highschool, but that was long after their reign was done and they were corporate.

i think the following anology works well too; lopht are comparable to van halen; when they both burst onto their scenes, almost noone else was doing what they did, and noone else before had gotten as big.

but time marches on, and other people do something new, and suddenly evh isnt as flashy as the new crop.
This tiling feature looks just like i3 or Sway.. pretty sure it is using it under the hood. Not sure why they changed the default shortcuts though, nor why they want to rename everything under the Pop OS brand.. rather than just give credit to the real contributors.
Ask HN: If you're working with an agency recruiter, let them negotiate for you?
Agency recruiter being a recruiter who is independent of the company with whom you're interviewing. This recruiter likely has an arrangement to be paid ~15-30% of your first year's base salary.

If you're a candidate who found a company through this recruiter, do you prefer to let them help with the negotiations be pre-screening the offer, sharing comp expectation with them, or even letting them negotiate on your behalf?

How about the other way around? If you're a hiring manager working with a recruiting agency, do you shop the offer to them before the candidate? Do you just negotiate directly with the candidate and sideline the recruiter (even if they ask you not to?)

There are multiple incentives at play here and I'm curious how folks approach this.
If you love coding and - as it appears from the post - are working on your personal projects, this seems like a reasonable schedule. I definitely wouldn't want to work that much for an employer - I've done that when I was around your age and younger, and it's pointless.

In the long run, you might want to set aside 3-4 hrs/week on some real physical activity though - walking is fine but you need upper body strength too.

In any case, once you have a partner and/or kids in your life, you'll find you won't be able to spend this much time on coding, so enjoy it while it lasts!
Not OP, but isn’t a concentration camp just a place to concentrate people you have detained? It doesn’t automatically mean gas chambers.
I have already eaten my competitions lunch through not being afraid of a little rigor, and not leaving a wake of shit that only works on good days behind me.
Nukes and coal share the property that they are overwhelmingly more expensive, just to continue operating, than solar. Each dollar spent on a nuke, or on mining coal, is a dollar not spent building out the solar we need. A dollar spent building a nuke is a dollar that displaces exactly zero coal watts for ten or more years, vs solar that begins to displace coal almost immediately.
Michael burry is correct. The others (e.g talib, paulsen)... Are just hot gas. What distinguishes a bubble from a mania is the high degree of leverage underlying the price support. To date none of the Bitcoin price peaks in the past Exhibited the hallmark sign of a bubble popping, which is 2x faster price drop relative to rate of climb, if anything most of them were 2x slower.

However, if you look at the motion that has been happening recently, the declines have initially manifested as 2x faster, both in the most recent Bitcoin correction but especially in the "altcoin" prices, indicating leverage-covering behavior. This tracks with the increasing participation of trad finance (aka indirect leverage-backed prices) and the increasing availability of secondary products (options, shorts) which are also leveraged positions.

Fwiw, in all past Bitcoin price rises I have consistently said "it's not a bubble" -- you can search hn if curious. This time it's different.

Good luck out there folks.

>>Later in life they will regret not having a family and a life when they were young and healthy. And for what? To write code that 5 years from now will just rot unused in some Git repo.

Not starting a family(something that you will benefit from all life) to work on code that you will EOL in 2 years seems to be a bad deal to even think about.
Yeah, the entire piece reads like it was written by a who took AP Econ in high school, majored in Philosophy, then joined superbonk or whatever on reddit two decades later. This article is him telling the apes why they're wrong.

Inflation isn't making the poor poorer, but it is making the middle class poorer, while turning the rich into the wealthy.

Poor people don't have money, nothing to lose value. Poor people don't have property or stocks - nothing to hold/grow value. The rich got all their cash invested (percentage-wise), so their stuff isn't affected by inflation. It's that middle class, where half their savings are in mutual funds and half in cash type assets like a CD or a savings account - that's who get the shaft here.

But that AP econ class - I took that too, and I'm an expert in economics because I got edumacation in it, and have a schwab account for my 401k. So I'm a fully qualified expert on global economics, and I say inflation is great for a country, on a global scale. Other countries buy your bonds, your cash loses value, you now owe them less value. China does this a lot to screw other countries - artificially inflate their currency, and now their external debts are less. Now, the end result is who the hell would give them credit - that's like giving the orange clow credit. But they were at that level even before their fake inflation.

We have other tools for redistributing wealth. Laws, regulations, tax codes. We don't need that feature to be built into the currency. Especially the way it's built in to the currency in reality - redistributing it to the rich every time the fed prints more of it.

Crypto is crap for one simple fact. There's no large army with nukes making its value stable. All a crypto-rich person has to do to increase its value is sell a lot of it, to himself, at a high price.
Which still leaves this event somewhere near "good praxis" and "weekend larfs"
Are there any legal security issues to be concerned about as a developer of this kind of anonymous service?

I wonder every time I see a project like this, namely anonymous or transient hosting of any kind of user data, whether the developers get any kind of flak from agencies claiming it could be used to nefarious ends.

Serving plain text is obviously less of a concern
than hosting images, video, etc.

But I imagine the more anonymous a service is, the more attractive it is for use by unsavory actors.

Anyone have any thoughts?
Ah. That, I can do.

Why I Hate Discord (A Manifesto) [Without Sources]
Discord is aggressively proprietary.

People ought to own their data, but Discord's architecture ensures everything gets hoovered into the mother-ship. At first, this was for nothing more than to facilitate their client-server communications model; recently, all of the hoovered data gets submitted to their AI moderation platform. (searched for sources on this but it was very hard to find anything. I remember talk about this ~c. Nov 2020, might be wrong)

I should be able to modify an interface to my tastes. Modifying Discord is explicitly against their ToS, including their interface; attempting to do so will lead to a ban. Don't like their painted whore? Prefer to chat from your bespoke terminal? GTFO, Hammer & Chisel knows what's best for We Peons.

Addenda: I find Hammer & Chisel developers and Discord admins to be disgusting. This is hearsay & personal opinion from my time hanging around the developer chats, but they all came across as nasty people. I, personally, believe many of the news reports surrounding the grooming controversies; searching "Discord admin controversy," "Discord allthefoxes controversy," "Discord cub policy," &c. turn up some relevant articles. Most of these articles are from low-quality reporting shops, but I buy in to the narrative.
Do you plan to launch in India anytime soon? Would love to get my hands on a Framework laptop
You misunderstood what I wrote. I wrote "Small changes in the minimum wage will have minimal changes in short term total unemployment"

If any given minimum wage rate would have no effect on employment levels, than we would simply increase the minimum wage to 100 dollars an hour and end all poverty.
1. Both zig and rust compile to intermediate representations which are then compiled to llvm IR. Most of the compilation woes of rust are in the early stage IR.

2. Zig doesn't have ownership rules, which can get in the way of important data structures for gaming.
> If you look at the current status at https://file.app/ , you can see that storage costs there are extremely low for large amounts of data.

We were looking at this at work the other day.

We noticed the storage price vs S3 saying "0.03% the cost of Amazon S3" and then someone (who's been trying to get adequate performance out of IPFS for a while) said "0.03% of the price, and even lower performance".
I’ve heard good things about Proxmox VE: https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve
That is a terrible example. Not only did Facebook's stock price increase after the FTC settlement,[1] which suggests that Facebook paid too small of a penalty for violating user privacy, but Facebook shareholders also filed a lawsuit last month alleging that the $5 billion payment in the settlement was structured to shield Zuckerberg from being deposed.[2] Had there not been this alleged quid pro quo, Facebook's penalty would have been even smaller.

Nobody should believe Facebook's privacy promises when the largest penalty it has ever received for profiting from user privacy violations over many years equates to one month's revenue. The incentives are simply not strong enough for Facebook to be a good actor in this area.

Does anyone else feel like the metaverse is like 3D TVs?

I think VR goggles are like 3D TVs. Around 2019 I made that remark on the blog of some "influencer", and was threatened with a ban. VR headerger is fine if the world keeps you in a small area, like Beat Saber. Moving around in a big world with VR headgear is more of a niche market. Until someone figures out how to make VR a lot better than the current best systems, it will probably remain a niche.

The metaverse needs field of view. Visiting a 3D world through a phone is too cramped. Even laptops are cramped. Nobody wants big desktops any more, even though giant curved screens are now available. Sitting in front of an entertainment sized TV screen with a game controller is more common.

AR is something else. That will be a cross between Facebook, Marshall Brain's Manna, and the Hyperreality video, I suspect.

There is, interestingly, a market for tedious and boring virtual worlds. Second Life has a deal where, if you buy a premium membership for about $100 a year, you get a house in world. Two years ago, they upgraded that, with much nicer unfurnished houses in what looks like a nice American suburban neighborhood. This became quite popular, and they've rented about 60,000 of those houses, building out more and more nicely landscaped areas of suburbia. Users get one of these, furnish it, put up seasonal decorations, have parties and BBQs, and generally go through the motions of TV sitcom suburbia. This seems to appeal to people who can't afford real American suburbia.
What state laws are you referring to? Why are localities powerless?

This seems like an emergent phenomena that should be addressed by legislative action. What is preventing that action?

> Started watching the show, it is way too dramatized but still interesting.

I don't mind dramatization, but 4.5h seems quite steep for such a simple video that seems like it could be covered in a 20m Youtube video. Do you have a rough review if you ended up watching more of it if it's just really dragged on or actually contains a lot of content?
For many HN readers l0phtCrack is iconic, and so needs no introduction.

FYI though, it was a password brute force tool that many of us used for various (mostly innocent) myschevios purposes 15-20 years ago.
I'm out in farm country, and while I tried Google's bicycling instructions a few times out here, I very rapidly gave up, because they stood a remarkably good chance of getting me shot. Routing through things that look like a back yard, routing me through clearly marked farm areas with no trespassing signs, routing me through... not even sure those roads connect without going up someone's driveway and over their lawn... ?

It was entirely nonsensical. I just stopped using them entirely.
Pretty much. Sadly there is no chance of a successful metaverse that isn’t tied to data slurping and advertising.
I live in a 200 year old house in Mexico. The walls are half a meter thick. At night we open the windows, which are oriented toward the prevailing winds, and the house cools down. Mid-morning we close it all up and it stays cool all day. Meanwhile people with modern houses have to run their air conditioning to keep cool.
>>when all my employer really expected was just for the damn thing to work.

Working for glory never really makes sense in any field of work. This mostly due to Ozymandias factor. But for most people the Ozymandias age is a pretty small number. I don't even remember names of several colleagues I've worked with early life, so to expect any kind of recognition or even that some one cares about your work is just plain delusion.

Most people struggle to remember what they had to dinner two days back. I'd like to imagine managers don't remember whose getting the word done, as long as it is getting done.

Beyond all this most products/projects/service(s) have a short life, and are EOL not very far from their creation. So it just doesn't make sense to do permanent damage to your life for short lived easily forgotten stuff.
I burnt out pretty hard. I took a break from everything for a while, and it wasn't until I started sitting for 4+ hours straight again that I started feeling pain. When I lift regularly it goes away but not immediately, which leads me to believe the sitting is having long lasting effects very quickly. I can feel the effects of a long sit for a few days.
Arguably worse, but slightly less shocking? People who are developing corporate strategy for their companies - ie: everything other than the code, but including some doing product development and (omgwtf) market research (!!)
It's still bonkers to make you cast an non-duration input to time.Duration. this causes cognitive confusion, because you are effectively labelling the multiplicand as something that it isn't. All pls with types have semantic meaning for the types if nothing else, so if you can't see why this is a real problem, I can only say: Stockholm syndrome.

"numerical operations generally require their operands to be of the same type"

The correct decision would have been to make the * operator be allowed to operate on a time.Duration and an integer, just as you are uncontroversially allowed to operate * on a float and an integer -- to refute your statement and go even stronger I don't know of ANY pls that require * operands be the same type.

However, that is not what go chose. And we are talking about the choices go made. This is very much NOT well thought out and very ill-considered, especially since "the right thing" is so easy.
Of course not. We both agree that organizing doesn't appear out of nowhere and that it takes real work to mobilize people. The call to action of installing adblockers in this particular case makes people feel like they are taking real action, but it's equivalent to "hope and prayers" and that doesn't work either.

My point is that "If you can't stop Facebook snooping" is a self-limiting assumption. Of course we can stop Facebook from snooping. Facebook's ability to snoop relies on the social, political, legal, and economic assumptions all of which are constructed by people and therefore aren't immutable constants. Our progress toward changing that is realizing that all of these things are things we made and therefore can change.
Is it really a bubble or is it driven by market demands as more and more applications and use-cases emerge?
In the end, a lot of the blockchain infrastructure relies on bitcoin hence it moves in sync.
China's real estate market is a bubble because there is a excess of 500 million dwellings that are not needed.
Obsidian might be a great tool but I use Remnote and it has not given me any reason to switch to any other knowledge management tool. It’s a breeze to create organised notes with it and creating flashcards has never been easier. It also allows to download your entire knowledge base in markdown or JSON. With its latest UI overhaul things have got even better. Also I see Obsidian does not have a webapp or a windows app and that’s a deal breaker for me as I have to work with Apple and Windows devices. I have it tried Obsidian yet and it does not look like Remnote will give me a reason to do so anytime soon. Happy note taking! The golden age of note taking! :)
Facebook and Twitter aren't the whole internet, though. There's Reddit, say. Or HN. (For HN, you need an email account. OK, can you get an anonymous email account? Sure. Easy.)
Spotify already has a button for removing a song from the recommended playlist. I would guess they already use that as the same signal as a dislike button. It's really just a difference in naming.
No, that doesn't require multithreading at all.
In my school's case it was 'passwd'. No cracking needed to obtain that one though, the admin had it written on a post-it on his monitor.

Its neither i3 nor Sway. Its their own implementation on top of GNOME. i3, sway are too complicated for first time users and requires lot of configuration and tweaks. Personally I found Pop Shell is the best thing that can get anyone started with simple toggle on/off, customisation of shortcuts and available out of the box.

Interested in this too, both anecdotal studies. I lifted weights, found it helped with energy and posture, but nothing specific to finger joint pains. Wrists are a bit helped (barbell rows/deadlifts/overhead). Maybe grip-specific exercises/stretches fare better for a lot of keyboard/mouse/trackpad usage.
If it's done without causing complications then sure. I'm highly skeptical that it can be, as no other language ever has been able to do that.

Rust got it pretty good, but they designed a significant part of their language so that multithreading could be done well. Python did almost the opposite.
It was terrorism, not a contract dispute. They invaded the factory and threatened deadly force against not only their employer’s reps but also police.
