> ... commands accept and parse arbitrary strings as input instead of formally specifying it like a function signature + docblock. If I could rewrite the universe, commands would use a central API for specifying the names, data types, descriptions, etc. for all the input they take

Which is exactly what powershell does: Commands in powershell (called "cmdlets") are like functions with type hints. A command does not parse the input strings itself, rather it exposes this type information to the shell. The shell is the one responsible for discovering the parameters (and types) and parsing the command line parameters and coercing types before passing them (strongly typed) to the actual command.

This means that the information about parameter names and types is readily available for doc-generation, auto tab-completion and language servers which allow syntax highlighting, completion etc to work even inside editors such as vscode or emacs.

The point is that to specify a cmdket you must declare parameters, in much the same way that for a function in a programming language to accept parameters it must declare those as formal parameters.
Hitler was really good at inspiring and motivating people. And he was very driven.

I agree that coming up with crazy idea was not innovation. Well... Look at Musk, he is also very driven and able to motivate people. But he also has excellent ideas that would be impossible without crazy execution.
If I read between the lines correctly, I'm skeptical that students majoring in sports backoffice do any work at all in the school's own sports programs. Like maybe some interships? Access to some people for research and writing? I'm thinking: not enough to justify keeping them linked, and even so, the teams/sports would still be in the area. My point is that as far as the school is concerned, the potential for any overlap at all is slight. This is proven by the success of backoffice programs at schools with uncompetitive teams.
Someone asks for a request, say nothing, and start work on it. If they keep pestering you, ignore the request and pick one minor fault of their's, like "Write a quick unit test and meet me in like 5 minutes ... ... ... It takes you more than 5 minutes to write a unit test?"

Keep working on it in quiet. Work on it with the sole objective of assigning it to other people. Divide the work in half, than half again, than half again, so eighths. And start organizing github issues to assign to people.

When they come back again and ask, fire it up and show them without saying a word. Show them the problem you are stuck on without saying anything. I found software is like that. It's one stucked grain in the gears, and once that's fixed a floodgate of progress opens.

Never compromise on your personal integrity and standards. Types, unit testing, zero downtime blue green deploys, databse migrations.

Also I found serious projects get ugly quick. The demos are always bland and hide known problems. Big real projects it's like really cooking with heat. It takes a day to build and test. I want that big municipal level financing behind it.

This is pure politics. Why is this on HN?

EDIT: I'm clearly not dang, but from the rules:

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

Politics + stocks != Hacker News.
I’ve been to Dealey Plaza. The shot would have been far simpler to the left before the motorcade turned, and the car would have been going even slower then. The angle from the window toward JFK at point in the parade where was shot makes it much harder to triangulate the sounds of the bullets.

But all of this discussion is rather silly because the government itself has accepted that more than two bullets entered the president and the governor and they could not have all come from the book depository window.

The ‘idea’ that you can separate idea from execution is not an accurate reflection of reality. These are not distinct phases. Ideas are a catalyst for execution. Execution throws up new ideas. So I agree with the conclusion but not the reasoning.
Stupid question, but is it still considered insider trading if the information gleaned is not directly from a company insider?

I mean, if a senator gets wind of upcoming legislation that may affect a specific company or sector, and they act on that, it's not insider information coming from someone within the affected company, so is that still considered insider?

I did some digging. To me it was rather unclear about the impact of this. Furthermore, it definitely just feels like a recategorization/relabelling on Brave's part to get some brownie points. Not that it's not interesting, but I feel it's just a new name but old concept.

This [0] is a 1 year old referenced wiki page in the article, which itself is a reference to a 3 year old Chromium bug [1].

The issue is, as some commenters mentioned, one process in another tab hogging all the sockets can make determine the timing on a new socket that is requested.

If the socket's timing is data dependent, then you can infer what the data is.

That's basically XS-search attacks [2]. [1] uses the example of 'https://mail.yahoo.com/d/search/keyword=', where the keyword "Amazon Purchase" consumes a socket and takes a longer amount of time due to our socket hogging vs. if we didn't hog it. This timing dependency lets us know across tabs that the victim buys stuff off Amazon.

In some cases, you can deterministically force the victim to execute this search query, and thus, the side channel.

A great example of following Unix philosophy using a more recent example is the ssh client on plan 9. It is split into three separate programs each with their own man page: ssh(1) for terminal access, sshfs(4) for mounting a remote file tree, and sshnet(4) which imports a remote machines tcp stack. Keep it simple, stupid.

It's the least restrictive for user freedom.
Java's solution to this problem is maybe the simplest and most elegant: The compiler simply won't let you reassign to a local variable after it's been closed over. I think Go erred by not doing this. (Although I guess it would have complicated things a little because Go has mutable value types, so you'd need to figure out how to handle those.)
You're asking me? Ok: it should not be possible for you to install surreptitious screen recording software on an iPhone. The problem isn't that this app got blocked; it's that all the other ones (except maybe that one app that only records screenshots when you use their browser) aren't banned.

But this is totally besides the point. We're not discussing what Apple's rules ought to be. We're trying to help figure out what they are. That's what the author of this app asked us to do.

You want people to believe in global warming, coronavirus, and healthy foods, make global warming, coronavirus, and healthy food test kits. I hate to burst your bubble, but when the rubber hits the road, science journals are just text on paper, disconnected from reality. Gravity, radiation, magnetism, etc were discovered through experimentation and demonstrations. We live in a dark age of irreproducibility.

Take health industry and cybersecurity industry for example. The former publishes controversial results every weekend, and the latter has us trust closed source systems due to appeal to authority.

This man can tell a story. I laughed out loud at

> I looked back and there was a hyena loping towards me, a huge bristling monster with a maniacal grin and terrifying jaws. In situations like this it is vital to stay calm, avoid eye contact and make sure that you are walking with someone who is slower than yourself. I was alone. I ran.

Everyone thinks a hyena is like a dog in size. It is absolutely not, it is much larger. I'm Kenyan, and a friend of mine growing up was a boy scout whose troop regularly went camping in remote areas. He kept a steel cooking pot that had been savaged by a hyena when they were camping and someone was stupid enough not to clean it of animal smells. It looks like it had been though an industrial metal shredder.
If their jaws can do that, I shudder to think what they can do to flesh and bone (actually, you can easily find out by Googling images, but I'd suggest against doing that if you ever intend to fall asleep again)
Many of my peers got their first jobs through university co-op programs. It may not be pleasant, but going to university for compsci/compeng with a strong co-op program is probably the most surefire way to get a solid first job and start to your career.

I know some people on HN love to rag on those who go to university to become a dev, but I still think it is the most straightforward way to start your career. I also come from a country where university doesn’t cost a kidney so maybe my US peers would think going to university is too expensive for the benefits.
Unlikely to get hired? Not in my experence; not in 1985. A healthy fraction of the folks working in Silicon Valley were musicians! Certainly not many were degreed in computer science because very few were back then.

So what brought them to Silicon Valley? For a great many, love of the machine.
So one factor here is the actually computers:
50 years ago, store clerk was a medium prestige job, that had medium pay and growth prospects- there are plenty of stories of people who started a clerk and ended up in a senior position. But that was because clerks had to know the prices and goods: a major risk to the store owner was customers swapping price stickers, so you needed a clerk who could spot the difference between the expensive onion and the cheap one and knew what the price should be and these clerks had to stay in one place long enough to know the prices.

Then along came the laser/UPC/computer system and deskilled the job. No longer did you need to know the difference, the computer printed up a natural language description of the item. This allowed stores to get much larger, because no one could know all the prices in a large store (early department stores handled the size by making you pay for items in each department, using store balance accounts to not create too much friction). This fundamentally reshaped the relationship between capital (who owned the stores and the computer system) and labor. It's actually the exact same alienation of the individual from their labor that Marx was writing about in the 1850's, just for jobs that didn't get the same attention.

Similarly, an in-law worked as a teller at a bank. 50 years ago that job would have more upward mobility because banks managed their risk locally: after many years as a teller and then as a loan officer you could move up to be the local person making the decision on loans. Nowadays large banks have centralized that with fancy computer systems to guide the decision, so there are entire paths of advancement that essentially don't exist anymore because computers spit out the answer. There is only shift and then branch manager, with once again the owners of the computer system using it to de-skill jobs and cut off promotion opportunities. (See, e.g. Better.com, using poorly paid contractors to do all the tedious stuff that can't be automated, and then letting the computer do all the high skill work.)

This is, by the by, one of the reasons that computer programmers continue to get paid well, because we are enabling capital to de-skill and bifurcate jobs better and better.

If you mean 'Don't mediallions ...', no. They take a real scarcity, road space (and pollution capacity) and shift it from an externality, something an entity consumes and but doesn't pay for, to something they do pay for.

You're right, that was coming from the statement that the father was a SV engineer.

But when people pull long shifts to get the next version of the browser that makes marginal improvements instead of spending time with friends/family/doing a hobby (essentially living, not working) and take it as a medal of honor, they are missing a lot in life. People working late hours to put the food on the table and people deliberately working late and then using it as an excuse are different. If they're the latter, please don't tell that they're having hard time balancing work/life.

No one is saying every geographical subdivision needs to reflect exactly the aggregate distribution at the national level. I expect the split in individual cities to deviate from the national mean split. Based on my subjective experience living in SF, and based on the data, SF’s deviation is too extreme.

Sure, we can regress to a form of solipsism and just say there’s no possible discussion to be had about whether SF is too extreme. Yes, God has not written down a cosmological constant of what threshold determines too extreme vs not too extreme. I think it’s pointless for us to gaslight ourselves into this belief. If we can’t say SF is too extreme, how can we say crime is too high, or persecution of LGBTQ is too high, or anything else?

In the link I shared above, SF deviates as far left as the scale can go. If you think it is possible to have an inter-subjective conversation about whether SF is too extreme, but think SF isn’t, what would need to be true for you to declare SF past the threshold?

This isn’t some speculative scenario about how JFK felt toward Dulles; JFK fired Dulles after the Bay of Pigs!

But the failed invasion of Cuba was not an isolated incident. JFK was undermined by an intelligence community he did not control many times, another famous one being the CIA-backed military coup against Charles de Gaul which also failed. But the French foreign minister to the US has record of a conversation with Kennedy where he says he is not fully in control of his country’s foreign policy.

Tips on how to make more out of Sidekiq
> Yes those are details. But why aren't details(formed into a winning strategy) considered ideas?

Because "Hmmm, my light tanks and anti-tank guns can't win for some reason. Instead, lets draw their heavy tanks into traps comprised of Luftwaffe dive bombers and direct-fire from massive Artillery guns" is not an "idea" anymore.

That's Rundstedt just... winning. That's not an idea you set out ahead of time, that's just the commander on the ground making due with his resources, and the new facts on the field as they come up.

And Rundstedt consistently did this. He always made the best of his situation. It didn't matter what kind of advantages or disadvantages you gave him.

-------

A lesser commander given the orders to "Blitzkreig" with lighter tanks and lesser guns may have ordered a suicide charge and lost the battle. Or maybe they would have retreated in face of the French apparent invulnerability. But Rundstedt figured out a plan and executed it well, holding the area despite the apparent French advantage.

"Ideas" are largely things that you plan to do. Yes, plans and ideas are important (and the German "Blitzkreig" definitely was a good idea). But "Execution" are the things that your people do once they run into issues, or what to do when that plan fails.

IE: You only have light tanks because you're Blitzkreig focused, and the French B1 guarding the area is invulnerable to literally all of your tanks, and your Pak 36 guns you gave your infantry are basically the same caliber as the Panzers. You just lost a fight with 1x B1 vs 13x Panzers. Now what?
