More people requires more effort, if just one individual or one company can mobilize huge amounts of money it becomes effortless to bend the system your own way.

That's why it's hard to organize hundreds of thousands of employees to fight for their rights in a company. Company there is only one with quite aligned goals, employees are many with misaligned if not goals priorities.
It (well its predecessor) was an XML based protocol a long time ago, but hasn't been in practice in years. Mastodon, which really popularized ActivityPub, uses JSON-LD. But yes, the ideas of data ownership and identity are just not well specified in ActivityPub. There's work in trying to incorporate capability-based security into ActivityPub but it is a large pain point right now. The protocol also has very varying amounts of uptake. Mastodon and Pleroma mostly implement the ActivityPub server-to-server API and only a handful of ActivityPub implementations support the client-to-server API. I would love to see further work between the Bluesky and AP teams on coming up with a new standard which addresses the flaws in the current protocol.
I think this book would be great addition to any software engineer . I think book captured the recent modern practices ( last 10 years?) in one place .

The Effective Engineer: How to Leverage Your Efforts In Software Engineering to Make a Disproportionate and Meaningful Impact

> (Dammit...no I'm curious about what is actually in those records, because the 'host -t ds' output for all of them is 3 apparently decimal numbers, a long hex string, and a short hex strings except for Caltech's, which is missing the final short hex string).

Those are DS records, what host(1) prints is their presentation format [1]:

> The presentation format of the DS record consists of three numbers (key tag, algorithm, and digest type) followed by the digest itself presented in hex

Digest type 1 (as for caltech.edu) is for SHA-1 [2], type 2 (as for stanford.edu) is for SHA-256 [3]. So caltech.edu just uses a shorter hash, and whitespace is allowed in the presentation [4].

FWIW, one can also check and verify that/whether DNSSEC works with delv(1) (similar to dig(1), but with validation).

There’s certainly elements of hype to the term since it’s new and a lot of startups and projects are trying to get the biggest mindshare.

Monitoring to me is exclusively about metrics and alerts. Metrics are really useful but they often don’t give you the whole context, and might sometimes be misleading. Eg you see a spike in cpu usage for a service; you probably just autoscaler and call it a day, and that’s the end of it. Having metrics is SO much better than not having metrics though, it delivered insights that were just not possible before.

Observability to me is the next iteration of this process of understanding system behavior. Metrics are limiting, so maybe you look at logs. Well, they suffer from some of the same issues, so you try profiling, you try tracing. Ultimately the goal is to explore tools that allow developers to quickly get a truthful understanding of how their systems really work, and use that knowledge to improve their systems.
1) Save most of the Google bucks rather than spending them on bloating your org to at least 3x the size it has any reason to be,

2) Invest your saved Google bucks,

3) After a few years you can drop Google for a decade or two and coast entirely on savings + investment income while being beholden to no-one. Maybe indefinitely, depending on how well it goes and how lean you keep your spending.

The alternative would have been putting all that extra staff to work on paid products that didn't suck and were in demand. Firefox could have built an open-source Slack alternative with optional, slick, easy-onboarding paid hosting, for instance. Not that big a stretch. And that's on the boring-and-safe side of things they might have done. Truly, they might have done anything worthwhile with the time and huge amounts of money they had, to gain future independence. Instead, they did... the stuff they did.
I'm not aware of any scholarship looking at correlation between level of tech knowledge (specifically, ad blockers) and subscription behavior to avoid ads.

That said, apparently ~42% of global users[0] block some ads.

Given that there are ~4.6Bn users[1], of which ~1.9Bn sometimes use ad blockers, some 2.7Bn users don't use ad blockers at all.

50 million (although that includes YouTube Music subscribers as well as YouTube Premium) subscribers is a little more than 1% of total users and ~2% of users who don't use ad blockers.

I'd also point out that nations with higher per-capita incomes tend to use ad blockers less, which implies (again, I'm not claiming this to be true) that they may be less knowledgeable about ad blocking technologies.

It's not clear what the global distribution of YouTube Premium subscribers looks like, but it's reasonable to think that those with higher (and presumably more disposable) incomes would be more likely to pay for such a subscription.

I don't have any data to back up my hypothesis, as I can't find any published research into the tech savvy of those who pay for YouTube Premium vs. those who don't.

Even more, just because the absolute numbers (50,000,00 subscribers which includes 30,000,000 YouTube Music, and 2+ or 7+ billion in revenue, depending on if you count the 30,000,000 YouTube Music subscribers) are large, given the total population, they are a tiny group.

How many people use add-ons to block youtube ads? Who knows? Possibly Google/Alphabet, but they certainly aren't going to talk about that.

I want to be crystal clear that I'm not saying you're wrong, but the idea that there's a lack of information driving subscriptions to get ad-free youtube is certainly a reasonable one.

Perhaps that's a good topic for a master's thesis in psychology? Since I'm not a marketer or a grad student in Psychology, that wouldn't be something I'd do. Hopefully someone will.

Isn't Firefox the proof that this isn't the case?
> I'm actually really curious what this was.

It was something in GarageBand. I went to check after I wrote that because I was bothered that I didn't name the application.

> I also wanted to share a tip with you — you can turn off app badges in Settings -> Notifications -> Some App.

That's a cool tip, thanks. Even though my iPhone remains on the desk serving only as a test device, my OCD will probably find this useful at some point if I ever encounter a similar issue.

> With iOS 15, you can also create a 'focus mode' where app badges are disabled, and just have it scheduled to be on all the time. If this sounds appealing, let me know and I'll walk you through it.

It does, though as I said I don't envision myself using an iPhone as an actual phone. In general, I'd love seeing more devices/software having a dedicated focus mode though.
Whoops! You are correct and it looks like OP is right. I am unable to delete the News app from macOS.
Digital signage is good but from my understanding (and I could be wrong) probably over-engineered for home usage. They're intended to be powered on 24x7, and last a long time. Probably more resistant to burn-in too. All of which is good, but if your use case isn't so intensive you could get by with something lower-end. (Especially if you want to eventually replace the device and are looking for an excuse ;) )
I don't care about your other reasoning. I am just stating the fact. Xi is not a common name. I don't care about your other thoughts either. No point in arguing.
A CEO isn't a dictator. They still need board support. If everyone on the board decided that Jack wasn't the guy anymore, Jack can't wave a magic wand and make them disappear. CEOs have been ousted many times.
I've used a combination of three mods to help planning.

Rate Calculator lets you select an already-built area and shows you its input and outputs, Factory Planner is pretty neat too with its matrix solver.

Both of those in combination with the Blueprint Lab have been great. Build out the base of your factory in it, save a blueprint, then actually build in your map.

These aren't really diagramming, but I hope they can help.
It doesn't seem like there's any reason DANE is incompatible with Certificate Transparency. Support could potentially even be integrated with public revolvers to automatically submit certs to a CT log when a TLSA record is looked up[1]. You can use both DANE and a CA-issued certificate at the same time if you want.

With Let's Encrypt and the CA system, you have to trust Let's Encrypt, the DNS servers[2] Let's Encrypt uses, every router between Let's Encrypt and the DNS servers[2], and in most setups every other CA Mozilla/Google/your OS vendor ships too.

With DANE, you need to trust the people with the keys for the DNS servers[2] still, but you don't have the MITM risk, assuming local validation which is the only thing that makes sense with modern computers.

What features are possible with the CA system but not DANE?

[1]: This would require making a TLS connection to the server since only the hash is in the TLSA record which isn't ideal, but it would be possible.

[2]: I'm talking about the DNS servers needed for recursive resolution, so the root servers, the domain's TLD's namesevers, and the authoritative nameserver for the domain.
The point I'm trying to make is assume that user-side functionality stays exactly the same - frozen - for say 10 years. Given what you say above, it would be reasonable to expect the company to continue to grow in any case on its current 10-20% compounded annual rate with no end in sight. Is that truly sustainable?

This is a pleasant hypothesis, but what does it imply? Is there a bijection between music and speech, or some sort of structure there to investigate?
> 1865 to 1965 was just to show a 100 year period were activity stayed hot

But it wasn't a 100 year period where activity stayed hot. It was a 106 year period (stretching to 1971) starting with a 5 year period where activity was hot, followed by a 43 year period of complete inactivity, and them some brief periods of sporadic activity, ending with a the single most active decade since the 1790s.

A 100 year period where activity stayed hot is a complete misrepresentation.
Ask yourself "if I was given the equivalent in cash instead of equity (e.g. a bonus or just an increased base), would I buy shares in my employers' company?"

If the answer is no, then it makes sense to sell immediately.

Besides the RAM choices (1/2/4/8 vs 4) they are largely the same thing but the pi400 has a higher stock clock since they are using a later revision of the SoC (which has made it's way to pi4 boards recently)

Anything which applies to the pi4 also applies to the pi400.
Thanks, I really hate this.

But seriously, what can we do here? How to I inform people like my parents of this kind of thing without being an alarmist? Should I even care?
The "weird political spin":

>Miarabbas Kiani received her master’s in electrical engineering from Shiraz University in Iran, where she specialized in photonic and optoelectronic devices. Encouraged by her supervisor to expand her academic horizons, she considered studying in the U.S. but was unable to obtain a visa. Her father suggested she think of Canada.

Presumably, this is some sort of bizarre prompted response and it's a stretch to think Kiani was simply asked "why did you decide to study at McMaster University" and this was her actual experience.

We somehow need to incentivize the proliferation of browser engines more than actual browsers themselves. Maybe an open design committee that could standardize modules the engines should contain along with calling conventions between them? That would encourage people to work on smaller chunks and not have to build the entire thing by hand. Perhaps browser engine prize competitions?

If there were even half a dozen capable browser engines to choose from when making a new browser that were all accessible, then we wouldn't be in this mess.
so the stock jumped like ten percent on this news... why? are they going to bring trump back? that would be horrible.
Disagree. Not only will what you suggest not happen, ever, because it's logistically impossible but the idea that it's the unvaccinated causing vaccine evading variants is ass backwards.
Not to be that guy that argues with a Swiss about how Swiss talk but we get broadcasts from "RTS Un" (I think that's what it's called) and the announcers most definitely say "octante". I also followed a few Swiss YouTubers a few years ago and they all said "octante" as well. Maybe it's a regional thing?

EDIT: Actually now that I dug up a bit more stuff it does seem like "huitante" is the one? Maybe I am just remembering wrong, feel free to ignore my ramblings.
Not just tears. Slave labor, child labor (cough DRC/Cobalt cough), and some good old ethnic cleansing thrown in for good measure.

It's increasingly hard to justify any use of modern consumer electronics. The whole ecosystem is shiny on the surface, absolutely horrid underneath on any level you care to look.

The point is that the comment isn't reacting curiously to anything in the article, just finding reasons to categorically reject it. That's not the intended spirit of this forum (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). And yes, I would say that all of the listed reasons are shallow. Someone not experimentally testing their theories, for example, is not a good reason to shut down conversation.

Keep in mind that threads are super sensitive to initial conditions. Shallow dismissals often appear early in the life cycle of a discussion, precisely because they're so quick to jump to - and then we get a thread, and ultimately a culture, which is characterized by a mean dismissive spirit. Internet defaults already tend to mean dismissiveness, so we need to work to avoid that where possible.
Cable news reports on the news of the day and generally doesn't lie, rather, they misrepresent.

Whats the function of "gluetun" in this setup? Would the VPN-Tunnel then also run via Cloudflare Tunnel?
I'm speaking of causality, not justice. I agree that talking in terms of what people "deserve" isn't particularly helpful. The way I look at it, capitalism is a big super-organism and we're just cells that make it up. Do you shed a tear when your skin cells slough off or your gut microbiome comes out in your shit? Similarly, capitalism as a system is incapable of caring what happens to the individual workers that make it up.

And then my interest is primarily in understanding why does the system function the way it does and secondarily which organ should I try to occupy myself, given how it functions.

Questions about why people choose (not) to occupy various roles or what's holding them back this are very germane. Up-thread, I listed a bunch of CEO-like or investor-like roles that people can occupy without any particular connections or cultural capital, merely by looking the part. Why don't more people go for them? After all, another property of capitalism is that lucrative positions attract competition, and in the absence of barriers to entry, the profit gets competed away. Why hasn't this happened with CEOs? Arguably, it is happening - more people are starting startups or micro-businesses and playing the CEO role than in the 80s/90s, and we're posting this on the forum of an accelerator devoted to helping people with this trend.

I've played both the founder/CEO role and the lowly-engineer role, and currently am back in the lowly-engineer role because I realized I enjoy it a whole lot more (and hence am more effective in it). So there's some personal experience backing it up, in both the pleb and the capitalist role.
Auto import and code completion play nicely with IntelliJ for both Go and Rust IME.
The problems were:

1. poor MCAS design

2. poor maintenance

3. pilots not following runaway trim emergency procedures

The media pretty much never mentions (3).

Note that 3 flights experienced the MCAS malfunction. 1 applied runaway trim emergency procedures, continued with the flight, and landed safely.

- Adam Mosseri is the CEO of Instagram. Do you think if Instagram gets spunoff he is terminated or something? No, he just remains the CEO of Instagram. Same is true for all the lower level managers, such as

- Nam Nguyen, who is the head of engineering at Instagram. He would remain head of engineering at the standalone Instagram. Maybe he'd get a cosmetic change to his job title like CTO or something.

- Ashley Yuki is the head of product at Instagram. Same with her, she'll stay head of product. They aren't going to fire and replace her just because Instagram trades under $GRAM instead of $FB.

Repeat this down the line for the rest of the people that run Instagram. Instagram will literally be the same product, with the same owners, same management, and same business model.
Good luck with that. Myself and others have lost hope that the current system can ever change. You're never going to convince the people in power to rewrite the current system.

Diversification. If you consider that your employment at an employer is one part of your investment strategy, then it makes sense to diversify your portfolio as much as possible. Keeping those eggs in the same basket presents increased firm-specific risk .
Although I am something of a "fan" of Siracusa (enjoyed his MacOS reviews for years, and still listen to a couple of his podcasts), I think he's just dead wrong about this Finder thing.

The spatial Finder was a great idea when someone's collection of files was, say, the size of the contents of a set of desk drawers or a small filing cabinet. We busted through that limit over a decade ago. The typical computer user now has file collections the size of a municipal library.

I don't think anyone would agree that a city library could be organized "spatially," where one librarian remembered where they left that copy of Twilight: New Moon. Libraries need a dewey decimal system. Likewise, modern file systems are best searched via keyword search (Spotlight), and organized via a file browser. And it appears that the contemporary evolution of all this is iOS and ChromeOS, which throw in the towel on organization altogether.

I personally arrived at this conclusion all the way back with the release of Windows 95, where I decided that Windows Explorer, warts and all, just worked better for a big file collection than OS 7 Finder, and only came back to Mac with the advent of OS X. I certainly appreciate the beauty and psychological theory of the spatial Finder, but it just doesn't scale.
> There's no question that the IETF could get a working group together to specify a transparency log for DNSSEC... eventually. I'd happily start a pool to bet on how long it would take them to bikeshed it out.

Don't tempt the IETF...

The ADD group has been working on service bindings for DNS to signal the supported set of secure transports for a DNS server. The DNS Privacy Working Group is working on this topic. And now there is DANCE, attempting to apply DANE for network client authentication. And there’s DNSOP of course. One should never underestimate the potential for the IETF to solve the same problem thirty times in thirty different ways. Just think 'IPv6 Transition Mechanisms' to understand just how well the IETF can explore and standardize every possible option, to the inevitable confusion of all! https://blog.apnic.net/2021/11/18/dns-at-ietf-112/

India Says Starlink Is Unlicensed
The Frontline episode is a mess of misinformation and omission of crucial facts. I submitted on the Frontline site a list of omitted facts and corrections supported by cited FAA documents. The moderators refused to post it.

I used to watch Frontline regularly. Although they had an obvious left wing bias, I thought they made good faith efforts to present the facts.

No more. I no longer watch Frontline nor consider them a reliable source of news.

BTW, the "Aviation Disasters" did an episode on the 737MAX that was pretty decent (although a bit shallow due to time constraints), so it is possible to do a good story on it. Recommended.

> if the CV algorithm fails against these examples when humans don't, then the CV algorithm is too brittle and should not be used in the real world.

This is the tricky bit.

Night-time driving, bad weather, icy roads, bumper-to-bumper traffic: these are all situations in which some algorithms can outdo humans in terms of safety. Faster reactions, better vision (beyond what human eyes can see), and unlimited 'mental stamina' can make a big difference in safe driving.

But then there will be the occasional situation in which the CV screws up, and there's an accident. Some of those are ones where many/most humans could have handled the situation better and avoided the accident.

So how do we decide when the automated car is 'good enough'? Do we have to reach a point where in no situation could any human have done better? Must it be absolutely better than all humans, all the time? Because we may never reach that point.

And all the while, we could be avoiding a lot more accidents (and deaths) from situations the AI could have handled.
Woot! Double story variants for 'a' and 'g'!

I want to develop in Rust from my MBP, which means running clippy and my tests. However, it has a shoddy battery, and will power off if I do anything too intensive (like doing a long compile).

With this feature, I can push the IDE backend to my 5800X pop_os desktop sitting at home, run all the compiles there remotely, and enjoy working from my MBP remotely (without the scalding CPU exhausts onto my lap, or the severe battery drainage).
