Another interpretation is:

On the first, you think you know what it does, but you're not sure. So maybe it gets looked up.

On the second, you know you don't know what it does. You so know to look it up.

Personally, I'll take the second. Assumptions during debugging are dangerous things.
Yes, fvisibility=hidden is a great addition; combined with LTO and a Clang toolchain, you can also add fsanitize=cfi. The CFI sanitizer adds a 1% perf penalty for a significant exploit mitigation. It complements -fcf-protection=full nicely.

You can also add fsanitize=shadow-stack (ARM) or fsanitize=safe-stack (x86_64) for stronger protection than -fstack-protector-all. This will cause many programs to crash.
I likewise don’t get the breathless exuberance over the prospect of electric airplanes. Weight matters a little bit in cars. Weight matters one hell of a lot in light airplanes.
Biden has said he'd go to war to protect Taiwan. https://www.npr.org/2021/10/28/1048513474/biden-us-taiwan-ch...

Probably posturing, but hard to imagine he wouldn't at least impose sanctions.
I think it is important to remember that while SA has become normalized as a community over time, more Reddit than 4chan, at its heart it was not simply a nerd community but a community for nerds to mock other nerds. Trolling and aggression was honed at SA. In many ways it was a bigger and broader successor to alt.tasteless and other shock sites. It definitely amplified the culture of snark and misanthropy in nerd culture.
My motorcycle safety course said that in a car accident the safest place for you is inside the car in the middle of all of those airbag deployments, but in a motorcycle accident the safest place is to be thrown as far away from all of the spinning colliding sliding bending grinding metal as possible
I think Windows does the same between desktop-compositor crashes and restarts. (When it doesn't get to bad, as than you just get a back screen with the mouse cursor until the compositor isn't restarted).

At least that was my perception as I used Win 10.
Yeah, pretty cool to see a photo of that. It was coded in assembler, first for the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor used in the Apple II.

You're entitled to informed consent.

You can argue about the merits of having that informed consent and still _choosing_ to put up with it, and whether that's truly free will or necessity, or something in between.

But time and time again, there are companies that will lie to everyone, employees included, about the risks.

That is _not_ informed consent, and is not defensible for any reason.
Looks like macro-heavy assembly to me. If one is not familiar with macro assemblers, in summary you could write your own language in macro assembler. And some did, which makes for a great debugging session if you're the one that has to fix it long after the original dev left.

A CS degree does not teach specific techs though. And I don't really think CS fundamentals and math will became obsolete in 10 years.

First time I took a few more minutes to look into svelte. To me it looks like it could be successor of Vue.

Do you know of other high potential candidates?
I'm curious, what are examples of architecture you admire?
Yeah I have the first gen dish, and about 60 feet of network cable from the dish spooled up in a closet. It's not very tidy and sort of a pain to deal with. I could probably cut it down and put a new end on it, but I worry that shortening the cable will screw it up, or it'll screw up the PoE since it's not really 100% standard PoE (so I've read) to the dish due to the higher power draw.
Will the craze for crypto startups ever produce the next tech giant?

When I tried Svelte a while back (year or two ago) I had difficulty working with code in the debugger, couldn't seem to get source maps to work correctly, I wonder if it's fixed.
If Microsoft really cares about this it is welcome to price Windows Pro competitively.

The Framework Laptop is literally the first time ever I've seen a laptop and wished I was at the point in my upgrade-cycle to get a new laptop. Right now I have 2-3 more years of use out of my current laptop before I upgrade though.
That's fair. I'm no MS fan for the record. Just assumed Framework would have access to some OEM deal on Windows OSes.

My next laptop is definitely going to be something without Windows (Linux user for the last ~15 or so years).
Honestly I don't know what you are saying here. What scenario are you talking about specifically? A man manages to get a win? What does that even mean, are you talking about the probability of convincing a women to have sex with a man?

The Hustle is a pretty common site shared on HN. I would say its mostly focused on 5 minute reads that give a slightly-deeper-than-google overview of a topical subject.

Not all crash test dummies are 50th percentile males[1]. In the United States:

Regulatory Frontal: 50th male in front-left and front-right, or 5th female in front-left and front-right

Regulatory Side, struck by SUV: 50th male

Regulatory Side, struck by pole: 50th male

NCAP Frontal: 50th male in front-left, 5th female in front-right

NCAP Side, struck by SUV: 50th male in front-left, 5th female in rear-left

NCAP Side, struck by pole: 50th male

As you can see, most tests are done with male dummies, and almost no females dummies are drivers. Fortunately, there's money that's just been allocated by Congress for doing more female dummy testing.

[1] Also important to note that, at least in the United States, the percentiles were determined in the 80s and Americans have gotten fatter.

Background I have worked at a low code/ no code shop. We could deliver prototypes fast. But that’s just it they were prototypes that went into production but at that point clients were hooked just where you want them. At that point feature requests require one of two things. A coder to build a new no code widget or more likely just code the feature. So to summarize they make the easy things easy but the hard things impossible. As time goes on maybe you have enough widgets to be successful but most problems are one offs where the widget is only needed once so why build the widget when coding is faster and cheaper?
Graphviz for diagrams, R standard library for plots, and imageMagick for simple image creation or processing.
Great link! The answer is that it's written in a custom 6502 assembler macro language that abstracted over looping, and the macros were an extension of a 6502 assembler that was hosted on Multics.
Funny that you bring that up, I've heard multiple accounts of Ubuntu-based distributions running without issue on the device. Maybe it's my own damn fault for trying to run Arch on this thing...

EDIT: tried it, and i'm still idling at 50-60c :(
For reputable firms, this is absolutely false.

There are firms that do what you say--they write a report that says how totally wonderful it was to work with you and how wonderful it is that you quickly fixed all the informationals they found, and what a genius you were to work with them. And they happily make these reports public.

Reputable firms will write savagely brutal reports when warranted.
When I was an exchange student in Germany many years ago, my host mother gave me something very similar to this as a homespun cure for the common cold.
Exactly. I think the OP does not know what it means to "raise money" and go at it. It would turn that person into a full time business owner.
utter fantasy in the near term (10 years or so), a far fetched idea long term unless serious EU-wide legislation is introduced, which will surely be opposed by every single nation.
> I'm disappointed by Rich. Instead of thinking bigger, raising money (it would have been so easy, Rich, instead of doing proud conference talk after talk why didn't you talk to a VC??)—he just cashed out (sky-high compensation and ESOP). I lost all my respect. Not a rant to give you some background, one major reason we went with SvelteKit was not to rely on the Next team. And now, I am again with them.

Who the hell do you think you are? You don't know his situation. You don't know anything. How do you know he doesn't have a gravely ill family member and needs a steady income more than he needs to "think big" about a fucking javascript framework? How do you know he's not deeply in debt from a past mistake? How do you know he doesn't find the tech obsession with "VC" funding repugnant? No one needs sxiao's judgment.

This is probably one thing the Chinese get right in terms of economics. Banning speculative and worthless commodities. It does nobody any good because we all know it's just a speculative market. The few who get out in time make a profit while the many that don't almost become destitute because of it. It doesn't promote tangible benefits to anyone. Nobody has a skill, nothing of value is transferred, simply money changing hands because someone else deems a worthless commodity is more valuable than it is.
I use this snippet, to change spaces to underscore for directories and files in the current directory and below. Haven't made it a function yet, but should. I got it from stack overflow or somewhere, but no attribution. Thanks to whoever did it first:

I think the article may be confused (or...wrong). The picture clearly shows a non-weatherproof RJ-45 cable plugging into the WiFi "modem". They also mix up "dish" with "WiFi router" several times. The dish has nothing to do with WiFi.

My best guess is that Starlink has cost-reduced the setup by integrating the PoE injector / PSU with the router (which previously was a regular router they packaged in a fancy case). Dropping the wired Ethernet port saves some cost since most users don't use wired networking today.

I'm skeptical that they have made the "modem" into an ODU (outdoor unit) because putting anything outdoor that you don't absolutely have to is a bad plan, and ... why would you want your WiFi AP to be outside the building envelope? Also a bad idea.

Where they may be "pulling an Apple" is that with the old design you could directly peer with the dish from your own router (and not use the Starlink-supplied router at all). It sounds like this arrangement won't be possible with the new design, at least not without buying the Ethernet adaptor.
I think the success of Something Awful is, by and large, despite Lowtax, and not because of him.
Nowadays, they'd just cut features from the 20KB version to make it fit into 16KB and sell it as the Standard edition (and sell the full 20KB one as the "Premium HD+" edition).
At a certain size, yeah the bundle will be larger, but it would take a lot to get to that point. For pretty much anything you would do, the bundle will be much smaller. Especially if you use SvelteKit which is smarter about what is bundled and when it loads.

As for complexity, the generated Svelte code is extremely readable. Take a look at the generated JS tab in the repl: https://svelte.dev/repl

Yeaaaaaah, no.

The long, rambling, incoherent "sell" that is pinned at the top here really doesn't help (why does HN allow people to do this? It's license to gish-galop.) He's extremely wordy in a way that really reminds me of confidence artists; lots of focus on vague storytelling style language, zero substance.

If you install this app you don't have any business being near confidential information. If the CI belongs to your employer, then have personal and organization devices, with the org device managed by their mobile device management system. Let them worry about it.

OP: go look at Signal and how they market themselves, but note that someone like Moxie Marlinspike gets to say "I made this" and be generally trusted.

You're just Some Dude.

With, as far as I can tell, zero experience in digital/network privacy, security, cryptography, etc.

Go make a name for yourself in security and privacy, then release an app like this. Or at least find people to collaborate with, evaluate your app, etc.

Far as I can tell the biggest problem with this app is that it probably makes whatever CI you upload to its cloud service or load into the app on your device, more vulnerable (for example, apps like Signal try to protect on-device information so data-scarfing tools can't grab it.)

Back in the 90s, UIs were more likely to give you statistics you might or might not care about instead of vacuous animations, and they were fast as hell.

I also only use -fstack-protector-strong and -fcf-protection as a fallback in case -fstack-protector-all and -fcf-protection=full cause crashes.

I wonder if they needed more powerful hardware in v1 due to a lower number of available satellites?

Fewer satellites means potentially a further distance to beam the signal to. Now that SpaceX has had a while to roll out more sats, they can use less powerful radios that need less heat dissipation and thus save weight.

Pure speculation on my part as I am not a hardware person, but I'd be interested to know!
holy crap, I had no idea this existed
Absolutely. A core goal for us is to Lower the Barrier of Entry[1] to building for the Web.

As a kid in the 1990's, I got to go to the biggest crash test facility in the US, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. There were crash dummies of different sizes all the way down to kids and infants.

Here's a list of current US dummies, including average males, extra small females, kids, etc:

That's a political issue, not a technical one. And one that can be solved with political will. A decade ago, I would not have been so optimistic, but these days, even politicians are talking about the necessity of transcontinental rail routes.

15% or more, depending on how many icons you want to be drawn next to your hotel name. So, with most small and medium hotels that don't have a detached hired team of managers, you can find a direct e-mail, wink-wink, nudge-nudge, and get a manual booking with 5-7-10% discount. Of course, all booking services prohibit such unequal discounts in their agreements, but it is unenforceable, as the hotel can invent any complex reward system for anyone at any time. Booking services know pretty well that their profits depend on eyeball domination, that's why they buy all the ads everywhere, and flood the web with “official” hotel pages in numerous catalogues. Hotel website is pretty much always lost below those. Of course, big hotel networks with their own marketing departments and unique partnership agreements with public and corporate services work differently, and the price you get is what they already want from you.

What is trivially detectable, though, is cancelled bookings that result in immediate unavailability of the same room for the same period. If you book through a service first, then try to get a discount from a hotel, there is a much higher chance that you get “Naaah”. No one would really bother about a single case, but your case might not be that single case.

As for “booking guarantees” given by a “big, well-known service”, read the fine print in the user agreement. It the hotel that is responsible for everything. A decent hotel treats all visitors equally, and tries to double-check for possible problems in advance. A shady place that only needs to get by for a season or two, inflates scores by squeezing positive reviews, and overbooks isn't really afraid of losing a contract. Moreover, that doesn't happen instantly, because booking services get money from commissions, and want their numbers to increase, not to decrease. Also, Booking.com office for some area is, most likely, 3-5 people handling papers and making calls during work hours, they won't personally swat the place to help any client.
Sure, but the lawyer confused algorithm for logarithm. Apparently (eyeroll) an expert needs to be brought in to explain to them that normal video zooming isn't going to cause AI-enabled upsampling.
Great example that good software is more important than good hardware. The best hardware will not sell if the user experience is poor due to bad software. The opposite is much easier. As long as the software works reasonably well, customers are more likely to overlook problems in the hardware. That's why there are still so many crappy Windows laptops. The screen is bad, the keyboard is creaky, and the display is from 2010, but Windows works for most users. So people buy.

Couldn't agree more. If anything we need new legislation that reminds the patent office that doing math on a computer is the same thing as doing math, and the concept of software patents is clearly invalid by definition.

My understanding is that these companies were gaming the benchmarks, but one possible justification is that many vehicles have only one occupant: the driver. Adding weight and reinforcements for a seating position that's typically unoccupied may seem at least partially unjustifiable.
The economic notion of "value" is weighted by wealth. Feeding a poor starving kid has no "value" -- because the kid has no money to pay you with. Merging up all the banks to win bailouts has extraordinary "value," because it helps people with lots of money obtain even more money.

Associating the wealth-weighted "value" that economies optimize with the non-wealth-weighted concept of value that we all treasure is the largest PR coup of the last few centuries.

Markets and economies do a lot of good for the world, but whoo boy is there a big difference between what they pretend to optimize and what they actually optimize.
