One seriously expects an industry with captured and revolving door of regulators from big banks will make it easy (not to mention so far up the assess of politicians around the world)?

Creating a centralized corporate entity and centralized operating protocols is like painting a huge target on your back that screams: "Here big banks and captured gov, come screw me and all the users over please!"

No need to be strictly anon, just don't play the same game… if you really want to build, what you build needs to be "metadata drone strike" proof…
Surprised it's taken this long honestly. I assumed over a decade ago that gangs would use drones for drive-by's or at least tagging places impossible to clean without also using a drone to spray paint over it. I figured by now gangs and city governments would be in a drone arms race given how cheap and easy to pilot they are. When made illegal I would also assume they would use the proper assemble-yourself hobby drones that have no flight restrictions so that only us plebs can't use them.

I use it for everything.

Professionally, I write backend services (mix of micro-services and bigger SOA ones) of various types. Some command lines, some scripts, a few web apps.

In my spare time I use it for random things, mostly stuff I mess on, personal scripts, doing programming challenges, websites, data exploration, etc.

You can use Clojure with NodeJS as well using ClojureScript by the way, or NBB if you want something more straightforward for writing NodeJS scripts.

The US has a party in charge that is in denial after losing a number of seats in the elections this week. It's almost comical to watch not just the post-election reactions from them, but even the pre-election excuses.
I've been using Terraform since 2018 and I love it. A benefit of using Terraform to explore AWS features is that I basically have the peace of mind that everything I create can be easily deleted when I'm done. That alone is huge. Plus, when I create cloud configuration via text, I seem to have a better mental understanding than clicking things in the console.

Congrats! I'm certain to buy the stock.
I think this is what they were saying--pre-tax refers to traditional, post-tax to roth. Only traditional ira/401k reduces the marginal tax rate. So the decision to go for traditional or roth depends on how you expect your tax bracket to change.
If you can scale to 32 cores, then you probably scale to 64 too.
I would have much stronger opinions about this if Android wasn't such a strong competitor. As it stands, it is very easy for people with those "choices and desires" to stick with Android and sideload to their heart's content.

The bigger issue with Apple is their 30% cut on nearly all transactions that happen on apps acquired through the App Store.

Yeah, the difference is that once you know them, you can use them on literally every project until CSS somehow gets replaced with something else (which will never happen).

If you put all that time into learning the tailwind shorthand then you're fucked on the next project that doesn't use it.

Personally I'd prefer to not have to re-learn how to style things on every damn project just because some noobs that have to pay the learning cost anyway think they've found some 5% efficiency with some shit library.
Yes. Although throwing red teams at the problem probably isn't the most efficient use of resources.

Better would be constructing a system where government-paid appsec teams are granted access to cloud source control repos for all projects + ability to randomly pentest whatever they desire.

If a breach is found (in release candidate stage or prod), the offender's contract is reduced by the prize amount, and that amount goes into the appsec team's budget.

The only way to make people care about appsec is to (1) increase the likelihood and frequency of exploits & (2) ensure exploits have direct budgetary impact on the teams developing the software.

I had this issue too and what I found made all the difference: try this for a week. Just a week. Do whatever you want afterwards but that week will teach you a lot about how much you really need or don't need your phone.

I am told that Tesla can indeed build cars without transceivers, but they don't really advertise the option (and staff don't even always know it exists). There are many diplomats/officials/military that would never be able to buy or operate a Tesla if that weren't the case, I think.

Hitler literally saved puppies. He was a forerunner of animal rights. I don't know about the relationship between Trump and puppies but real people are more nuanced than a D&D alignment chart, and even despicable people can do good.
Well to be fair the market decides. It's not solely up to landlords, it's up to what the market is willing to pay. Unfortunately even if you did, corporate landlords probably won't because they can afford to. Leaving their prices lower, and a continuation of the cycle of property moving into the hands of corporate landlords like Blackrock. It's a tough issue
It's interesting to me why trading crypto should be this compelling for so many, especially given that there are multi million dollar scams weekly it seems.

Interesting - perhaps some of those APIs were not designed with privacy in mind.

I used to have high respect for Microsoft when they just did a plain announcement and just got to the point. Like this one [0]. Now it's just professional time wasting with irrelevant rituals about the presenters mixing tech into politics, race, gender, etc once again. That is much worse than some other overhyped announcements.

Something has to pay for that insane amount of storage and bandwidth. I'm not sure where people get the idea that YouTube should be a charity.

$12 just to remove ads is way too steep though. There are premium streaming services with big budget movies and TV shows that cost less than that.

Good idea. Also, anyone, including employees, can give them tips on how to get in, and can't be legally punished for it. Of course, simply handing over private-keys and passwords wouldn't be allowed, but giving them a tip to poke around an API exposed to the public would be okay.
> Sure Clojure is a better language but not better enough to justify the additional abstraction layer IMO

Speaks for yourself, I'd take a pay cut to be able to use Clojure over JS (don't tell anyone )

Some of the why that is is captured here: https://gist.github.com/didibus/6e5ff960b25fdc1a5f8f97acede6...

But understand that a lot of it is about what language you personally enjoy and prefer, Clojure makes programming 10x more fun for me, and I already am someone who finds programming in general fun.
Ahem, and the G stands for Alphabet? :)

I think that still nothing can match Sciter's style sets feature.

JS (mycomponent.js):

export function MyComponent() {

return <div styleset={__DIR__ + "components.css#my-component"}>
<header>Hi!</header>
...
</div>;

}

CSS (components.css) :

@set my-component {

:root { background:red; } /* the component itself */

:root > header { background:gold; } /* its content */
:root > footer { background:var(footerColor,#0F0); } /* use of vars that can be set in JS too */
}

I’m looking forward to the nuanced and intellectually gratifying discussion that all HN submissions with the word “woke” in the title attract.
I don't know about "favorite," but every time I mess around with my Mavic Mini, one thought keeps coming to my mind with absolute certainty: The people who built this are going to win.

It's like 1970 all over again, only China is now the new Japan.
Ad blocking on iPhone/Safari has been around now for 6 years. Blocking ads from the YouTube app itself or your TV is a little tricker and would need something like a Pihole to serve as a local DNS server.

If you have some time on your hands it’s not too difficult to setup a cloud based Wireguard VPN + Pihole to blocks ads. Oracle has a free tier with a generous bandwidth cap.
While that would change the status quo of "iPhone == iOS", running a different OS is not what most people would do, so it really wouldn't move the needle on how much harm is possible with a potential widely-deployed 0-click exploit.

People generally buy iPhone for the no-nonsense (or low-nonsense) UX provided by iOS compared to Android - as in, they want to purchase iOS, but obviously it's only compatible and available on certain hardware. An extremely, extremely small majority would install an alternative OS on their phone unless that OS is something like "iOS but with built-in hacks for mobile games", or "iOS but paid app store apps can be sideloaded for free".
Hopefully this means SDK 5.0 is forthcoming. The Mavic Mini 2 has been kneecapped for almost two years because there is no SDK release to support it.
I believe the numbers work out to sequestering 1/3rd of CO2 output for around $4 billion per year and creating hundreds of billion in fish as well as untold benefits for the ecosystem
> I haven't seen a lot of evidence as of late that refraining from segregating them is having any positive impact.

Have we been refraining from that? They got mass banned from the biggest social media platforms and dumped into Gab and such like.

> What sort of reasoned debate should we expect to have with people who think a man who died 22 years ago in a plane crash isn't dead?

Encourage them to go to the place where he's alleged to show up. Have them commit in advance to admitting that if he doesn't, they were wrong. Then he won't, because he died 22 years ago in a plane crash.

You'll have convinced some of them. Now recruit those to help you convince the others. They'll be more believable because of the shared experience and because they understand the language of that subculture.

The whole thing has the hallmarks of a scam. If somebody is making money off of this somehow, figure out who it is. Expose them.

Figure out what else they believe. Identify the things that can be falsified. Falsify them.

"You're wrong, you're banned" doesn't do any of that, and then the only place they're accepted with their broken ideas is in a place full of other people who believe the same things and reinforce their nonsense.

Yeah, I don't see the value here either. You don't need wasm or chrome or any of that stuff.

Linux itself has several features that can be used to isolate processes, and there are use friendly tools like bwrap [0] that make configuration easy.

This is mostly because making a different OS is insanely hard, at least if you want to support the many different pieces of hardware your OS might run on. Project Sandcastle is different and making progress[0], likely because Apple mobile hardware uses vastly similar components and suppliers.

Note that I haven’t used it in two years, but this is the same problem I had with the extension and experimenting with things like evil mode in emacs. There was also a problem where VSCode would update and the vim extension would break or get laggy until the extension devs caught up. It may be better now, but both experiences drove home the fact the I really just felt more comfortable in vim.
Mine just arrived today and I'm blown away.

After upgrading our app's dependency chain to run native arm64 builds (which took a bit of googling) webpack's incremental build time on our app is down to 116ms from 983ms on my 2016 Macbook Pro. Over 8x faster.

Our Tensorflow.js (webgl) models that previously ran about 8fps in the browser are now running at the camera's native 30fps framerate. (Similar to my desktop 2080ti.)
Won’t mention my employer but we track malicious activity across the app ecosystem. Android has a higher rate of fraud and malevolent actors - specific to ads and app inventory.
I think it's funny and fitting that his eponymous company made Consul and Vault and his personal website doesn't do TLS.

If you go to the DJI flagship in Shenzhen, they have a little Hasselblad store stuffed in the corner. Pretty incongruous.
> We need to figure out why VSC is so popular, and then fill in the areas that Emacs is missing

Great support and built-in IDE for Microsoft platforms.

And the fact that it isn't a relic of the 1980s (well, 1970s in terms of text UI, and perhaps 1990s in terms of GUI.)

Also (horrifyingly enough), VSC can be more responsive.
You're parroting Kalanick's era stuff. Both of these companies have been chasing profitability since IPO and posted profits (on adjusted ebitda basis) this week, and are promising better results in Q4. My understanding is that various important markets are actually cash flow positive now.

Any idea of "destroying competition" also clearly is oblivious of what actually is happening in the industry. Uber made some acquisitions sure (e.g. Careem, Autocab), but also ceded marketshare in exchange for equity in various markets (Didi, Grab, Zomato) and did partnerships in others (e.g. SKTelecom). It definitely has its hands in a lot of pots, but monopolistic it is not. Its latest courier marketing slogan was literally "we're not the jealous type"...

As for Lyft, I don't believe it's ever been in a position to be able to aim for a monopoly of any sort.
Because I’m a silly web developer and I like to test on a bunch of different browsers. Current and Dev versions plus a few quirky experimental browsers I have installed just for fun.
Vagrant also supports running workloads in Docker containers rather than virtual machines (vagrant up --provider docker)

The listing of every native American group that's ever occupied the place is comical to me.

All of world history involves the push and pull of various groups competing for land and resources. Somehow we're supposed to treat every single one of the hundreds of pre-Columbian peoples who occupied North America with a sort of reverence like they were the only rightful inhabitants of the continent. Even though these hundreds of groups fought amongst each other for land and resources before and after the arrival of Europeans. Every single major conflict in North America since 1492 (including the American civil war) has seen Native groups fighting on both sides - because they were people with agency and not monolithic in their views and interests.

Do people in other parts of the world act like this? When a conference is held in conference in Turkey, is it important to mention that the area was previously controlled by Mongols, Seljuk Turks, Christian Greeks, Romans, Hellenic Greeks, Persians, Assyrians, Luwians, Hittites, Hattians, etc. ?
> JSX is valid JS. It is converted down to the same thing as what you describe, function calls to React.createElement().

This is disingenuous. Browsers do not understand JSX, nor do most JavaScript engines. TypeScript also gets transpiled to JavaScript -- it is not valid JavaScript in and of itself, you require a build step. We can argue semantics, but I think it's pretty clear what I meant.

> You could even alias all the elements to function names

You've just recreated what I mentioned two comments above in this same comments thread. :) See: https://github.com/jorgebucaran/hyperapp/tree/main/packages/...

This is what I'm arguing for over something like JSX.

Vagrant can use containers, making it also a wrapper around OCI-compatible runtimes. In addition, it also supports VirtualBox, Hyper-V, VMWare, bare metal, SSH targets, and various cloud providers.

In my experience humility is the main thing that makes it hard to teach people. "Why is it important that I learn this, I'm not going to change the world? I just want to learn what I need to know to get by.", thought patterns along those lines is so common everywhere, at work, at school etc. People who think they matter are so much easier to teach, and those who go even further and want to change the world often don't need teaching since they learn it on their own.
Yeah, because the end result is people pointing to it as though it's some extraordinary change. My guess would be it was easier and they're lazy bureaucracy.

That line is in a Perl metadata cleaning library. Not in Gitlab itself. Gitlab, who prides themselves and sell the gospel of improving security, willfully chose to use that library which was obviously never designed for their use case.

I looked at the front-page of that library. It says it cleans metadata from a huge number of file format. Frankly it looks more like something you would use on your own, known safe, files before sharing them online.

I'm not sure the tool is presented as a sanitizer for untrusted input. At least, it does not claim to be.

Why does Gitlab need to clean metadata from DjVu files? Wtf are DjVu files?!
I feel like you're speaking completely past me, because I never said using hooks were complicated. On the surface, they simplify quite a whole lot to the point where complete beginners to JavaScript can grasp them and be productive quickly.

The strongest argument really isn't that the App Store isn't good for consumers. There are examples where it very clearly isn't (cloud game streaming is a great one), but by and large it is positive for consumers.

The issue is for developers. The duopoly means developers who demand a first-class mobile presence are forced to abide by Apple's rules.

Would Spotify exist today if Apple disallowed its presence in the App Store? That's 60%+ of US mobile subscribers only reachable via the "open web"; a poor experience for a mobile music player. Its likely they would not exist; but Apple Music would.

This may sound like a theoretical argument; a problem that isn't a problem because obviously Apple allows Spotify. But consider cloud game streaming services; these compete directly with Apple's mobile gaming revenue. Apple won't allow them on the store. When you get right down to it, their only sin is that, unlike Netflix, Spotify, and Kindle; cloud game streaming apps do not pre-date the App Store. That's the only reason these other cloud media streaming apps are allowed; consumers adopted the iPhone with expectations concerning the nature of their existence. Apple got there first on gaming, then shut the door.

Thus, the greatest sin of the iPhone is its behavior toward destroying true innovation. Not a slightly better note-taker or a prettier weather forecast; the App Store is great at distributing that. But, rather, applications Apple hasn't foreseen, now hampered by both the App Store's distribution rules, financial rules, and more fundamentally, the intentionally limited operating system.

This is not a situation where these innovations can't exist on the iPhone, but will flourish elsewhere; Apple's stranglehold on the consumer US smartphone market, the primary means of computing for many, many people, means these innovations may never exist at all. Possibly because they can't find a market. Or, more disturbingly; because they would have been invented by our next generation's Steve Wozniak or John Carmack, but instead of growing up with a computing environment which (safely!) nurtures creation, they grew up with the iPhone. And maybe an iPad.
