Same here. This sounds far worse than just the normal typing notification. If I was using an application that did this preview, I would type up messages in a text editor and paste them in. There's so many times where I have a massive block of text that I'm not satisfied with as communicating my thoughts properly and I don't want to expand it out to an essay (no one will read that in a chat application), so I just delete it and replace it with an acknowledgement of the message I'm responding to. That would look ridiculous to other people in the chat!

If TPM chips are not documented down to a die level and implementation is not verifiable then how can anyone trust them? If I created a honey pot device I'd also call it Trusted Platform Module.

Because that's a thing it can do. It's properties include self-interference.

You are building your expectations of 'what a thing can do' based on the macro world you live in and the things you see and experience 'up here'. But down there, the rules are simply different.

Our expectations and intuition are simply not evolved to handle situations that occur in that level of reality. We've never thrown a rock and watched it self-interfere. But we should throw a lot of doubt at anyone who claims that it's all very natural to them, imho.
Excellent article, and beautifully written. Thanks for sharing.

Can a title still be click-bait if it is ineffective?

Given the author had already written the piece, and they want to concoct a title to "get clicks and disregard accuracy" - this title might be the most effective
- Limit opening blog spam SEO optimizations, this comes across as inauthentic. I feel we're increasingly conditioned to notice these things.

- Don't form voting cabals on hacker news / reddit. There's a lot of sophistication in detecting it. Let the natural popularity of a post be an indicator of what the audience likes. I'd further be paranoid if these sites detect a voting cabal, it could hurt the posts from the domain (to be clear, I don't know this for certain).

- Make it casual, interesting, and authentic.

- Don't put too many barriers between the author's authentic techie voice and the reader

- Find a way to give your great writers more autonomy on the blog. For example, instead of an upfront review process, give them permission to directly publish, but not share for 24 hours to allow a quick review for legal/PR reasons

- Give authors clear, consistent guidelines with what they can feel free to talk about / what they shouldn't talk about in public

- Create support for your newer writers. They're the ones who need encouragement and a writing coach. But don't take away their authentic voices, help them discover them.

- Don't get too cute with protecting IP. The in-the-weeds tech details are almost never the thing that makes a great organization or product.

- Understand the goals of your tech blog. Is it for recruiting? To get consulting clients?

- Focus on the long-game, strong community engagement, relationships, and domain authority, not short-term conversions (https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority)

As you have mentioned these are extreme examples. I think Singapore is the most interesting since it is the example politicians in my home country use to gaslight the electorate.

This doesn't actually address why an Asian Tiger like Singapore was able to rapidly industrialise or the difficulties of implementing good governance and economic policies.

I used to come onto HN and see crypto-coin news and I'd jump into the comments and ask something along the lines of "But isn't bitcoin and all the other things like it just a giant scam?" and someone who believed in Bitcoin to be a transformative technology would jump in and explain the real potential. I personally still think it's sort of a scam, but I'm happy for all of the people who used it to get rich....so, along those lines...

How is "NFT" not a gigantic scam? I'm looking at this image right now: https://rarible.com/token/0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18...

There is nothing at all to keep me from screenshotting or otherwise downloading that image. I won't have to pay the author $213 for it, I just take the image because I can. Now I won't necessarily "be the original owner" of it or whatever but....I mean....I have the same image as the owner and I have $213 where the new "owner" simply has the image.....

Can someone, if such a person exists, that believes in NFT's as having actual value please explain it? It just seems to me like a few thousand people have realized "Hey people will literally give me $200 just because I told them to" and are doing it at scale....

And according to that website, so far the author of those "NFT"s has made 13 million dollars......Is that true? If this person has made 13 million dollars because they drew a few monkeys....I'm pretty sure they will be President of the US one day.
>Seems to be a running trend in Germany to move toward open software.

Yeah, until the Ms sales guys wine and dine some German politicians and promise to build a new campus in $BIG_CITY that creates ## jobs, then they suddenly decide to renew their windows and office licenses instead. Rinse and repeat.
Release Notes: Did you know an NFT is just a hyperlink to an image usually stored on a Google drive?

...

WTF? We destroyed our planet for this?

----

NFTs are simply JSON and JPEGs and people have deluded themselves into thinking they destroy the planet. This is quite a ridiculous situation.

Blockchains produce blocks that get mined at regular intervals regardless of how much data or value is transferred with each block. The dubious argument is that since blockchains spend electricity to mine blocks that means they are destroying the planet. and therefore JSON and JPEG transfers are also destroying the planet.

Even if you believe this, your fight should be against dirty power plants and end there. But meanwhile, Ethereum is migrating to proof of stake before next summer and will become 99.9% more energy efficient. I'm sure that we'll still hear the trope though.
Ask HN: What perks from the past do you have?
In the past there was an option to assign your own domain to the MS outlook mail service (for free). I did that and use outlook.live.com ever since as my mail provider using my own domain.

I hoped that using outlook as mail provider will boost the credibility of my emails so that they are not constantly marked as spam just because the domain is not widely used. This has not come true but I still have a free mail service behind my domain :)

What perks do you have that are not available any more but still work?

The problem with this is that it goes directly against the business incentives of the companies in control of the franchises.

Well, that's a really bad reason to use chrome or some other chromium based browser.

But if you are willing to fork Firefox, that's a very good reason. I just don't think any fork will be as long as the majority of users are on a chromium based browser, those are toxic to the ecosystem.
I think it is because we have explicitly set the height of the images (https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/blob/develop/docs/docs/in...). Will fix it.
Don't forget how <??> is built-in and was heavily abused to create insecure, incomprehensible spaghetti messes.

You'd have to try really hard to make callback labyrinths in JS match the mess that came out of the above combined with runtime-as-template-engine. This was basically idiomatic at the time.
> Journalists at established media houses are accountable, including to internal and external ombuds or public editors. They also rely on reputation.

Which is ultimately irrelevant, because most mainstream outlets are partisan and look after their own, both on the right and left. You only need to look at the ridiculous coverage of Obama, Trump, Russia, Rittenhouse and dozens more examples over the past few years. The people who peddled misinformation haven't suffered any consequences.

I just learned that their API would allow us to programmatically update the guide section as well, so we'll probably move the guides to a public github as well for contributions.

Sure, it has nothing to do with overall better UX that the actual users of these computers require, it's all corruption.
I've always wondered if the particle is traveling at the speed of light, is there any sense of sequence in that frame? Interference would require it to be at point A before point B. If I understand it correctly, for the particle no time passes between when it is emitted on the front side and detected on the back side.

So could that interference just be what the path of least resistance looks like in a different frame?
mjb (author) links to an SO post which goes:

> If you look at _Lamport's paxos proofs_ he treats an accept as a promise... But this is not pointed out in _Paxos Made Simple_. In fact, it appears Lamport took great pains to specify that an accept was not a promise.

> The problem is when you combine the weaker portions of both variants; as the OP did and several implementations do. Then you run into this catastrophic bug.

That is, Lamport's proofs and Paxos Made Simple contradict each other ever so slightly to trip everyone all at the same time:

> What's more I looked through several proprietary and open-source paxos implementations and they all had the bug submitted by the OP!

I don't really think it matters what the spec says anyway. Who's going to enforce that? Like if it was required, would the server automatically reject messages if it didn't get a typing notification for an amount of time that's proportional to the length of the message?

Probably, I mean the arguments where supper questionable.

Like oh mail on my phone is not working, that is because mail is now run by Linux we must switch back ... but it wasn't, Mail was one a the few systems which didn't switch to Linux.

Or very questionable calculations about the price of buying some "customer support" (Linux IT Consulting).

At least as far as I remember.

Over the last 8-9 years I have built my own platform and I self-host it: https://www.uxwizz.com

I still have a lot of features planned, but I do enjoy using it more than any other platform (I might be biased because I made it though).
I mean, maybe, but it didn't work; I'm one of those deadbeats who makes all the payments before they're due.
That is possible.

But apparently, people in Germany are looking for software based on attributes that reach beyond the elemental metrics like "nice to use" or "supports corporate integration".

They might care more about the ability to audit the software's behavior and to easily make changes where necessary. They might also like to contribute patches back to the original LibreOffice community because they know that they themselves will benefit from more people reviewing their work and making it better as a result.
Yes, it is fair.

> What about the practise of Civil forfeiture?

As I say, it depends on your point of view. There are proponents and critics of Civil Forfeiture but as an Englishman I do not have the Cultural/Societal understanding of America to form my own view on the subject that doesn't directly affect me.
Do they plan to fund and/or contribute to the development of LibreOffice as well? I couldn't find anything in that article or the linked paper.

Edit: Actually one of the slides seems to indicate they have the intention to contribute and/or fund in someway.
In short, the author used yolo5 to count cars from webcam streams locations along highways in San Juan. I think it would have been easier to do background subtraction and count vehicles using standard vision techniques (e.g., threshold, watershed, count blobs), given that they had access to a fixed view security feed.
In one word, distribution.

Unlike forums, social media has an unlimited audience.
This is great, but they seem to be missing the other part of it, which is that (at least some of) the money saved ought to go towards funding development of the open software. If that happened then Libre Office could hope to outcompete MS Office on merit sometime in the near future. As it is, it's unclear how much this really supports the free software.
I will say that maybe they’ve updated things, because I went to cancel and it said “you have x amount of credits, would you like to pause for y time in order to keep them”. In no way was it hidden. I hate the credit system and the fact that they go away, but pausing was encouraged
Docusaurus is great! We migrated from Sphinx to Docusaurus[1] recently, the navigation is much better than before.

Seven steps to writing a better software engineering resume
The tried and tested answer is to think about "buying" the Mona Lisa. If the Louvre offered the opportunity for someone to be called the owner of the Mona Lisa but they could never take it out of the Louvre or any way control it what would that sell for? I suspect many, many millions of dollars.
I did that with BSKYB for tv subscription 7 years ago. They were chasing for payment until last year.
This is the kind of story that would have been cheered on on Slashdot twenty years ago. But here we are in 2021 and a major organization having the temerity to not pay the Microsoft tax is newsworthy. This is not what a free market looks like.
Very simple - the ability to read something without needing to sign up first. Twitter is public. I can read and share things without an account. That's a massive benefit (and a massive downside).

The terse nature of microblogging limited what people posted about in the early days too. There was a lot less 'deep' content. That changed for the worse with the advent of longer tweets and proper threads; now many people treat Twitter like it's essentially just a weird blogging platform.

Would be nice to have a german software culture. But all we got is politicians who wish for that and then turn a blind eye on fraudsters like WireCard. Something is missing from the german cultural dna, that our neighbours have.(Swiss,Luxemburg, Belgians, Chechen Republic, Poland, Litauen).

Seems the most important thing to be big in software in europe, is to foremost be not german ;)
e2ee is a challenge for any system that did not have it built-in in the first place, and even more so when the system is open (in the sense of anyone being able to implement their own client/server, and server federation). At the end of the day we will probably not be able to do much better than using TLS to secure IRC, and will just have to trust the server. OTR is OK for those who choose to use it, but it is not universal and requires too much coordination with whoever you are trying to chat with (you have to answer challenges like, "I like my IRC client, I do not care that it doesn't support OTR, we are just chatting about TV shows so who cares?").
> For example, if there is a vending machine with coke and you want pepsi.

Sometimes, I think that western people are so constrained by some limits in their heads. Like "freedom" is a freedom to choose Pepsi or Cola. I want neither. Or I want tea. Or the drink that is traditional for my culture.

But most of the time I communicate with americans, for example, I becoming convinced that freedom for them is more like: "Everybody drinks Cola and can freely visit Disneyland".

They're so immersed in their heads with the notion that they're in some kind God-chosen people, that they refuse the right of any nation to live by their own rules.

It's hard to convey this thought to me, especially in English. It would be too hard for americans to get it (if someone thinks our american junk food, junk Cola and junk democracy isn't good, they must be madmen and/or China/Russia/Iran spies!).

One tiny example of this. Several years ago while I was still reading reddit, in /r/Cambodia there was a post from american that said something like:

"I came to Cambodia several days ago and I'm impressed that you have neutral attitude to gays. But I don't understand why you don't promote LGBT everywhere. You should have LGBT parades and LGBT signs everywhere!"

I don't remember exact words, nor am I willing to find this exact post on the overloaded site of reddit. It was a shock to me that he arrived just a few days ago and already suggests that people that belong to a culture that is several times older than his, that they should live by his own weird rules.

And it's only one tiny example. Everyone should have McDonalds, even on Mt. Everest. Everyone must drink Coca Cola even in the remote Chinese village. Everyone must have not have their own opinion, but conform to the opinion of the "God-chosen nation".
Am I obligated to personally intervene in every bad thing that happens in the world as a prerequisite for pointing out they're bad? Your argument seems to boil down to "you aren't trying to stop all instances of a category of bad thing, so your opposition to that category of bad thing is invalid", which is a pretty weird argument. I also think murder is wrong, but aside from personally not murdering, I don't do anything about murders happening in the world.

Yes, you can screenshot the Mona Lisa or print out a signed Mickey Mantle rookie card, but it's not the same thing is it? The verifiable timestamp and record of account associated with a wallet address (public key) that is known to be associated with the artist that produced the work is the same as establishing physical provenance for a unique item.

And as for value goes, NFTs are far more liquid than physical art works because settlement is instant, provenance is simply a matter of inspecting transaction history (no need for counterparties such as Sotheby's), the market is worldwide, it's a composeable asset that can be used with other games, apps, etc., it can be used as an authentication token for exclusive access to software or physical events, etc. But never underestimate the value of liquidity.
