Somewhere, some ops engineer is being pinged because the alerting system has noticed a huge increase in hits to the error page.
The spinning wheel also had some inertia, which was really neat. You could give it a good spin and it would slowly "roll out". I think they tried to emulate that with the round capacitive touch thingy ("click wheel"), but that wasn't quite as nice. I guess it was more dust/dirt/water resistant, though.

As I understand, new car smell is actually all kinds of toxic volatile chemicals that are off gassing from the newly made plasticy parts of the interior. I have a very good sense of smell (and am generally a wimp / easily irritated by solvent or volatile organic chemical smells) and I've had some new cars I had to drive for weeks with the windows open to avoid a headache.

My security researcher buddy at Apple responsible for investigating this vulnerability told me that the hack is very complex; Apple couldn't even fully figure it out before pushing patches; the patches do not fix all the known bugs used in the vulnerability; the attackers most likely have access to Apple internal source code as well. They are very thankful for Citizen Lab without which the bugs wouldn't have been discovered. Also, there are likely many more compromised phones out there and Apple is kind of scratching their heads on how to fix, or even detect it. How do you fix a vulnerability that's secret and that no one knows is actively exploited?
Not an example of the same thing, really.

Nails don't need to be that hard. They're typically made from thin mild steel. If it's hard enough to be used as cutlery, demo it like every knife gets demoed. Slice up some tomatoes, chop roots, and see how it holds and edge. If it can still cut 2m slices, it's functional kitchen knife.

You can cut a steak with the disposable softwood knives we already have.
> It is really useful for so many things, and if you are good at understanding data and how to properly approximate things

That sounds really great and all, but I do admit to wishing that depressing word "things" wasn't standing in the way of some accurate examples. I do understand you said calculus helps you to approximate, though.
Thanks for the projection, but what I would actually do is the same as what multiple other commenters here are already doing, namely absorb the criticisms of Mozilla for what they are, and take those back to the bigger context of how I feel about conceding the browser space to Google.

Yours appears to be yet another example of the type of short attention span comment that I'm talking about, which is happening over and over and over in this thread. There's talk of Google abusing their dominant position in shaping the web and browers, and then there's talk of Mozilla as a counterbalance, and then there is a criticism of Mozilla, and then there is no clear upshot about how the criticism relates to the original context.

Asking people to remember and tie the point back to the original context yields comments like yours, viewing such requests as a challenge or emotional investment, or an inability to have rational conversation.
I will be pleasantly surprised if this is still a success and true to its stated mission a decade from now. Couchsurfing strayed away from the purpose its users believed in after becoming a profit machine.
There's something called _market analysis_: you either find a gap in the market for software tools, or you talk to people and ask what they would pay for _before_ starting to code.

Yes, you can jump straight into coding for your side projects, but not if your primary goal is to earn a steady side income (it may work but unlikely so).

But good to see negative outcome reports to counter-balance the extreme survivor bias on here.
My brother and I have both been paying Todoist customers for as long as I can remember. No idea what we’d do without it. It just nails the core elements without being overwhelming.
The sales pitch is basically the only thing that can make it illegal, because it’s illegal to knowingly do anything for the purpose of assisting somebody else commit a crime. That’s why it would be illegal to have a “burglary tools” section at a hardware store, even if they only difference between that and any other hardware store is words on a sign.

Even with regards the restricting import, the government is largely limited to sanctioning particular actors involved in the transaction.

I’m really a bit surprised that this isn’t more widely understood on HN. Anybody who operated a web server in the 90s is likely to know about Bernstein vs DoJ, and even if you operate one today you’re still likely to encounter the idea of an “export cipher”.

The one big failure of RFC 3339 is that it doesn't specify the actual rules for the separator:

Applications using this syntax may choose, for the sake of
readability, to specify a full-date and full-time separated by
(say) a space character.

Is separating it by a tab valid? A tilde? An underscore, as this website shows? Since this is so underspecified, there will be receivers that accept only T, and others that accept the T and some arbitrarily chosen character set. The ABNF only allows T.

I don't know how a standard that was specifically written to resolve the issues resulting from such ambiguities ended up with such a crucial issue.

The citations all agree that the 1st Amendment covers the part of Section 230 that you want to repeal. They disagree on the extent and impact, but they all fundamentally agree that Section 230 plays a role as a shortcut through litigation. You haven't addressed any of that, because it completely defeats your argument.

There would be one case, it would go to the Supreme Court, and would reinforce the key components of Section 230. YouTube, as a concept, will never go away, no matter what you want, because the 1st Amendment exists. Every individual would not get their day in court, as a precedent would be set and future lawsuits would be thrown out quickly, just as they are today.

Honestly, this smacks of bitter childishness; you want to hurt Google and you think this is the best way to do it. It is not, because it would not. It hurts no one, and would be re-resolved within the very next Supreme Court session, so no more than ~6 months. This childishness is reinforced by your acceptance that the platform you're writing on would not exist. You may not see that as hypocritical, but I and nearly everyone else who reads this does. It, alone, weakens your argument substantially.
Maybe I'm just old and cranky and this is a generational thing, but when did "side project" become mixed up with "side hustle"?

I think the dead horse has been beaten already in this thread, with what the author "should have done" in terms of market research, A/B testing, MVP, etc. No need for me to pile on further there.

But what strikes me is that the author really seems to draw no distinction between personal side projects, done for the purpose of developing new skills that you aren't learning at your day job (e.g. iOS development, Ruby on Rails, etc)... versus entrepreneurial side hustles that you pursue for the dream of financial independence.

I think the the lesson here is, "Pick one". If you're trying to get rich, then that's not the time dive into some completely unfamiliar tech whose learning curve will slow down your velocity. You should be leveraging whatever boring tech you already know and are already most productive in, so you can focus on the marketing research and business side of things. Conversely, if you're trying to dive into an educational side project to learn new skills, then it's rather naive to expect that to be a path to riches. It won't be, and that's okay!
I don't see it as unfortunate. It shows that Java is a living language that continues to improve and change to match the needs of its users. Compare this to Common Lisp, which has not change in any meaningful way since 1984.

A lisp-er would probably say that CL is so malleable that it hasn't needed to change, but I'm not so sure about that.
Why are you blaming a class called “LocalDate” for not giving you global timestamps? The java doc for the class has an entire paragraph on how it is not a time. If you want to model a specific instant in time, use Instant.

You joking? I have used a tram twice in the past six months. I bike 25km to work and back every day and anywhere I need to go.

And I love it even more without the scorching heat. I've not felt this good physically in a decade, great free aerobic exercise.

And apparently this city isn't even all that bike friendly compared to others, which is amazing since it seems perfect to me.
Microsoft's eBPF is a very different beast from Linux's eBPF. It is contained to very few subsystems (Currently network, filesystem to come) and doesn't have the same facilities Linux has with dynamic probes to hook arbitrary kernel functions.

Windows also has DTrace, which does support arbitrary kernel hooks, but it requires booting in a special mode with bcdedit /set dtrace ON, which makes it unusable for machines not under your direct control.

None of those give enough visibility in the kernel structures to fully subsume kernel mode drivers. And further, they don't allow some of the advanced capabilities that are provided by things like ProcessHacker, such as killing PPL, forcefully closing remote handles, and a bunch of other stuff that is only possible via a kernel driver.
Wildberger's channel for me has the best 'explainers', he reinterprets math and in the process you end up learning about both the standard definition and a different model he comes up with for example in his FMP playlist is a totally wild reinterpretation of the complex numbers using Dihedron algebra https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIljB45xT85Bfc-S4WHvT...

I always like seeing standard math curriculum cast to some other interpretation for example E.T. Jaynes book 'Probability Theory the Logic of Science' the first few chapters he builds up from scratch probability theory deriving it entirely from quantitative logic using a running example of a robot being programmed using sampling theory and hypothesis testing, parameter estimation and performing random experiments. No Venn diagrams, the Bernoulli urn rule comes popping out as a logical consequence, the central limit theorem reveals itself as a special case when you discover a phenomenon over the chapters where all other distributions seem to gravitate towards a gaussian/normal distribution which he proposes renaming the central distribution then there's even an entire chapter on where the names for these distributions come from and how they are misleading. No measure theory either, you expand a continuous function to a finite orthogonal function, you assign probabilities in a finite dimensional space, do the probability calculation then pass to the limit at the end where you end up using the Lebesgue integral in what he claims is 'it's original meaning'.

Anyone who knows of more books or channels that do this I'd be interested
Asbestos is a known carcinogen and the scientific consensus is that exposure can cause ovarian cancer.
Apple seems to be in some sort of power struggle with their users, they resist doing exactly what the users demand from them, always embedding some sort of change just to make sure they are not totally "obeying" users. Some sort of ego clash where they want to feel that they know better than the users and Inventor's syndrome is manifesting here.
I remember reading something similar for the pins in an MG (or Triumph? not sure anymore) manual transmission. In this case the suggestion was to use peanut butter to hold the pins in.
I’m a pretty pro-criminal justice reform guy, but most folks in that camp really don’t understand how very guilty most people in prison are. From first hand experience, the system is already inundated with meritless litigation, appeals, etc. People in person don’t exactly have a lot of better things to do. Innocence Project and similar organizations have to screen hundreds of cases to find the one or two meritorious ones. Ending prosecutorial immunity would mean 99 completely frivolous lawsuits for every one worth considering.
> but these things happened and are happening not in the context of a cooperative community.

They absolutely could be. A cooperative community full of racists might very well attempt to kick out people of certain races.

> you have a status quo where other forces can also banish a person.

Ah, see, but we don't have that status quo. Nobody can kick me out of my apartment, as long as I keep paying rent. And that paying rent part, isn't even strictly something that would get me kicked out, in certain places!

There are tons of laws and rules and regulations that very much prevent people from being kicked out of places.

> i don't get what you're getting at.

What he was getting at, is that it should be obvious that just because a majority of people want someone kicked out, that this might not be a good reason to actually kick them out!

EX: if a majority want to kick out certain races, we, as society, should prevent that majority from democratically excluding certain races.

So, in other words the answer to the question of "why should you be allowed to live somewhere if the community wants you out?" is because we live in a society, and in that society we want to prevent racists from kicking people out of where they live, even if they kick them out democratically.
IIRC, within the FBI’s jurisdiction and international don't go together. Isn't the FBI restricted to operating nationally only?

But to answer your question more fully, you can't solve this problem without supranational cooperation. A "police force" working to safeguard the Internet would have to work under authority of the UN, not any single nation.

Because unless you start fining or imprisoning people for using the wrong date format, people don't care what you write in a law book and will continue to use what they're used to if it works well enough.

Allowing DIN 5008 simply acknowledges reality. Not acknowledging reality is a good way to make people decide that whatever is telling them they're doing it wrong is just "ivory tower" nonsense and should all be ignored at best, possibly actively opposed.
The article notes: Burkholderia pseudomallei is classified in the U.S. as a Tier 1 select agent — a pathogen that has the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety — the CDC has brought the finding to federal law enforcement agents

Sorry my observation has been taken in an unintended context!

>Does that mean selective hiring needs to end?

In all honesty, I'm of the opinion that job recruiting should involve an objective "required skills" floor, and then a lottery for all who meet it. It'd been known for some time that hiring is very difficult to do objectively and often has similar outcomes wrt retention as sheer chance. Luck plays a massive role in opportunity and accomplishment, and a systematic acknowledgment of this might do well to readjust people's attitudes towards how professional accomplishment squares with economic dignity.

Classification section, quote:

Sporadic (sCJD), caused by the spontaneous misfolding of prion-protein in an individual.[20] This accounts for 85% of cases of CJD.[56]
Familial (fCJD), caused by an inherited mutation in the prion-protein gene.[55] This accounts for the majority of the other 15% of cases of CJD.[56]
Acquired CJD, caused by contamination with tissue from an infected person, usually as the result of a medical procedure (iatrogenic CJD). Medical procedures that are associated with the spread of this form of CJD include blood transfusion from the infected person, use of human-derived pituitary growth hormones, gonadotropin hormone therapy, and corneal and meningeal transplants.[55][56][57] Variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD) is a type of acquired CJD potentially acquired from bovine spongiform encephalopathy or caused by consuming food contaminated with prions.[55][58]

My old university mailbox got migrated to Microsoft, and now people who don't use a professional mail provider (gmail, yahoo, etc..) basically can't send to that address.

We (small devshop + some hosting + self-hosted email) hosted a few things for a foundation for years, and about two years ago they migrated the mail stuff to MS. (We continue to host a few sites, domains, DNS.) Now when they need something and send us an email we can't reply, because our IP is "listed".

Okay, I know spam can be bad, and fine-tuning spam filters is a PITA, so let's go through the delisting process, surely with enough perseverance eventually MS will tolerate us into their graces.

Well, it has been more than a year now, and still no luck.

I love that kind of attention to detail. It's easy to treat the 404 page as something not needing any thought at all so it's refreshing to see some still care about such seemingly irrelevant details.
I think we’re agreeing? The entire premise of my comment is that trying to get clever with tube stacking injects more chaos and risk into an already chaotic and risky scenario.

EDIT: To clarify, in general I also agree with the point you seem to be making that guns are dangerous and trying to make them seem less so by loading so-called “less lethal” ammunition makes it easier for the user to forget that. But if somebody wants birdshot, they should at least just load the whole tube with birdshot and accept that their load has different ballistic properties than buckshot.

I don't understand your point, of course different road users break different rules, they have different rules. You can't speed on a bicycle as there's no requirement for a speedometer.

I launched 5 major software projects over the last 15 years. The first one was a failure; the big lesson I learned from that failure was that I couldn't salvage or re-purpose any of the code; aside from educational value, all that work had been wasted. After that experience, I tried to build all my projects in such a way that I could always salvage/re-purpose my work.

My second project was a software development framework which I tried to sell it as a SaaS platform. The platform was a commercial failure but the open source framework became popular and I was able to convince the founders of a popular blockchain project to use it as part of their P2P layer.

Although that project was a technical success, because I didn't own any meaningful stake in that blockchain project, I wasn't able to capitalize on this opportunity so it was a commercial failure for me.

So then we (me and some open source community members who joined along the way) used that blockchain as a base to build a Decentralized Exchange and 2 new blockchain projects. Although these projects have not yet succeeded commercially (still working on it), I managed to secure passive income as a blockchain validator on the base blockchain. Securing this passive income was my first hint of commercial success after 10 years of trying. Anyway, it's an ongoing story but if my current 3 active projects don't succeed commercially, I have already planned for the next projects to build on top...

The goal is to just keep building stuff on top of this blockchain ecosystem, welcoming new contributors along the way and keeping everything open source.

https://twitter.com/jeffdean/status/1282882643277656065 seems to explain it - "varz" is one of the "z pages" (a convention that by now has leaked outside Google), so it's handled by the Google web server infrastructure, not by the YouTube app. And "abortabortabort" and a few others are commands that are restricted at the load-balancer level.
