I'm under the impression AWS in general proactively scans/monitors for (some) vulnerabilites on its infrastructure and notifies it customers.

Years ago I once received a warning regarding a potential exposure. I don't think it is very extensive, and in our case it wasn't a big deal, but I considered that notification back then a pretty "high level of service". Yes, such a notification can be scary, but better a little scare than having your systems compromised. This post on HN is reassurig that AWS tries to keep it that way. (We didn't get the Log4Shell warning as we're not vulnerable afaict)
No, I uninstalled WhatsApp. I did not have FB installed, ever, so the problem is fully solved.
I mostly use it to work around crappy youtube's buffering. Download a video and you can watch it without hiccups.

It's also handy for saving music that you want to listen to without being deliberately interrupted and paused by youtube.

I.e. it's all to work around youtube's crappiness.
And ironically Google gets a free pass from SV cheering crowd for trying to do the same.
> Or the blockchain is the API, which is public, and requires only a single integration point for everyone.

You don't need a blockchain for interoperability, neither does it enforce interoperability.
Then you should have said that. This actually makes sense.

Apart from that, everyone even half competent would know that and make a trade-off involving other factors. Being dogmatic about a single facet isn't helpful.
I maintain `debug` for Node.js and the Log4J devs are living my worst nightmare when it comes to that library. It's used just about everywhere and any sort of zero-day would have far reaching implications.

I updated the link to an archived version.

Fauci and the CDC were a little more careful, but they insinuated effectively the same thing with vaccination induced herd immunity. Of course, we now know the vaccines do nothing for herd immunity, and it seems only infection actually does anything in this regard. I don't have the time to dig up everything every time I need to make an argument, and I wish there was a proper repository of information for this stuff - and that again, is a failing of the government.
Japan is one of the older civilisations with a recorded history, but "thousands of years old" businesses is stretching it more than a little.

Japan (population 125 million) is third in the world in GDP, with China (population over 1 billion) and the US (population 330 million) ahead of it. More remarkably this is from a tectonically unstable, volcanic island chain with limited natural resources, which is in stark contrast to either the US or China. This is probably an underestimate as they have a considerable secondary investment/production effort going on across Asia.

Japan's priorities are the same as everybody else's, they're just rather good at disguising that.
I actually just tapped that little X before switching to this tab. At this point it just feels like a Placebo.

Never had that problem....not since years at least.
> Bitfields are hard! They are...

Again, like so many others in this thread, you're talking about C's problems. C is not the only language to implement this feature. I keep bringing up Ada because it's a language that features the ability to define structures at the bit level in its core language semantics. It manages to do this in a portable way, with a much more sophisticated, not to mention sound type system.

> But this doesn't mean bitfields can't be done in Rust...

Why should users need to rely on installing third-party additions in order to do something so basic like this? With the addition of third-party frameworks, and tooling you can make C as safe as Rust too, so I don't think the argument that third-party dependencies can solve this problem are relevant. I'm judging these languages simply on how well they allow me to express the semantics required for low-level programming.

> About interoperability with C (and C++), I really like bindgen, cbindgen and cxx. The bindgen book [3] is straighforward...

Ada comes out of the box with this functionality. It doesn't require reading a 'book' to understand it either, it's very straightforward.

> beats any language I know hands down - that is, if you use crates like thiserror and anyhow...

Again, why should someone need to install third-party tooling and dependencies for such basic features? The fact that so many responses list a litany of external dependencies to address Rust's shortcomings does not lend much credibility to Rust's design.
Signalling is how mating works which leads to procreation that repeats the same process. If you don't signal your worthiness by winning contests, looking good, showing money, earning respect or in any other meaningful way, you are less likely to find a good matching spouse that will lead to more copies of you down the road.
Nope, I still click the "X" in the top corner every time I open it.

However, I use WhatsApp sparingly - my mum and one friend, that's it.

At some point I'll remove it completely.
You might want to look at interest rates during that period... especially after 1973.

It (optionally) uses a fork of Proton, the Valve-developed compatability layer. All containers use Wine, but Proton and Lutris are more complex and support more modern titles

”Pragmatism vs Idealism” is pretty much like saying “we're doing the right things and others are wrong”. No software engineer would define themself as an “idealist who don't take reality into account into their design”.

For instance, I'd consider Go being very “idealistic” since it was designed mostly from the vision of a small group of people with a clear mantra: “simplicity”. But of course, Rob Pike would never have advertised his language this way.

On the other hand, one could argue that Rust is pretty much is the “realist” camp, since it was initially designed in a very different shape from what it later became when early adopters started using it (the Servo team at Mozilla in the beginning, and then other groups: for instance the Fushia team at google at an impact on the design of the async part of the language).

I still encounter websites/UI that are laggy on my high end workstation, I cannot image how unusable those websites would be on a low end laptop.

The funny thing is, most of the time those websites have no complex requirements, it's mostly news site with things likes a covid map embed, but the map has a resolution to the meter for country boundaries... A few KB image that open the interactive map on click would work just the same.

And for website with heavier requirements (web app), there are two camps, those which are excellent (like onshape, that thing is amazing, or draw.io) or painfully slow to the point I had to ditch them (notion, clickup).

I have a feeling that many of those laggy website could do some key optimization to make everything order of magnitude faster/lighter.
"Difficult part first" is the right approach for legacy migration, or any mandated enterprise dev, to surface tricky issues ASAP. MVP is about product market fit, which is a given via mgmt authority in a corp environment.

Yes, I had to swap to an alternative phone while my phone was been repaired - it seems that it becomes mandatory when moving phone
I haven't. I also moved WhatsApp into isolated user profile using Island to restrict the access to my data.

On top of that changed permissions: no microphone, no file system, no camera access.
To anyone who has examined the records in question, is there sufficient data there to identify actual patterns of system failure?

Wow, that "people wearing masks will party like it's 2019" hypothesis is an interesting specimen: to me, almost two years into the pandemic it seems almost absurd, because when I put on a mask I'm immediately "pandemic me", with all the routine precautionary behavior patterns. I can only switch that off without a mask. But back in early 2020, those connections were not set up yet, it would have been quite likely that wearing a mask would have got the precaution box checked, leaving everything else "2019". At what point has it changed? Has it changed for everyone?

How long are the files retained? [Yes, it's in the FAQ, but it should be in the main page.]

How can I delete a file? Why do you not send two links: One with the public url of the file and one with a delete page. What happens if Google indexes one file and keeps checking it weekly?

Beware Gmail sometimes send big attachments as links to Google Drive. It's very confusing for end users.

About who can read my emails: I don't understand why you explain they are encrypted. I'd prefer a policy like mailinator, but perhaps you should ask a lawyer.
No, it’s what pushed me to delete WhatsApp

Because you would expect to lose money on it? That is, you should expect that in the long run the insurance would cost a little more than the amount it pays out and it sounds like you’d want insurance against losing money in a crash so buying insurance is just losing that money early.

Obviously that’s only true in the long term. There were some times when buying insurance may have been a good idea (eg early 2020) but that’s easier to say in hindsight. If you’re managing savings for a pension then this kind of thing could make sense as you get old because you mightn’t live long enough for the costs to average out. But the normal way to deal with that is adjusting the balance between equities and bonds.
I rejected them for months, but eventually I had to accept them because they wouldn't allow me to keep using the app until I did.

I use a similar setup with a hotkey, but the downside is that my monitors take about 5 seconds to switch, which in my case is a serious slow down.

I do not know if other monitors would be faster. I looked at KVM that support high resolution, but they are insanely expensive and I am not even sure they would not introduce any latency.
No, I uninstalled it when Facebook acquired WhatsApp.

I switched to Telegram, Wire and Threema.

When Matrix became viable in 2020, I switched to it.

Though, I still have a few contacts remaining at Telegram.
I've noticed that if I crumple up a piece of paper and shoot it across the room into a trash can, nine times out of 10 I'll miss, and people will chuckle and forget about it in 5 seconds.

I'm also a bash expert and I agree!

I wrote 75 lines of bash to do failure-resistant streaming parallel computation on heterogeneous distributed systems. "parallel" was very close to doing what I want, but it wasn't particularly hard to do it myself without it. I fire it up, peg every core on as many spot instances as AWS will give me, then shut them all down.

I regularly pass data structures through pipes, and "jq" does everything I have needed so far.

The tools can always get a bit better, but I don't need my duct tape to be any smarter, KTHX.
This looks great, I love the clean GTK for this user interface. Say what you will about GTK and Gnome... for beginners on an operating system such as Ubuntu, having a consistent application concept is very important.

Curious how this compares to Lutris[1]. I can see it has support for it as a runner, however as far as I can tell it achieves the same thing by maintaining separate wineprefixes.

What do you mean this isn't one of Rust's limitations? It's a common, well-understood feature of systems languages, which Rust doesn't have. Look for yourself on Rosetta Code[0]. There are many languages that feature a way to define a structure with individual bit fields: Basic, Fortran, Ada, etc.

Yes, that’s true of say chimpanzees.

Fortunately, we have the option to aspire to something better. I’m not saying such signalling etc doesn’t exist, just that in the same way as I choose not to assault or murder people when I’m angry at them, I also choose to present myself and choose my partners based on personal qualities rather than superficial crap.

I think so too. Increasing money supply for too long devalues that currency, even if its a global currency like usd. In its face a more stable currency will start looking more appealing for trade. This dynamics may take several years to play out though.

The community is great, but D itself kind of suffers from lack of direction where they want to be, every couple of years there is this next big that is going to bring people into the community, none of them fully done to completion ironing all bugs out.

So it remains a very nice language, but you need to be willing to get hands dirty fixing bugs and contributing back, if you feel going into production with it.

All D success stories had their of fork of the D toolchain, or standard library, to certain extent.
Delta and Omicron are just so much "faster" than what we encountered before. Thankfully the general working principle of the brakes (vaccines) seems to be mostly unaffected by them, but we have to press them harder.

What the vaccines are not doing: make it 2019 again.
I have accepted, but I have locked down all the other permissions in-app such as Contacts, Camera Roll, Location etc. Whilst this certainly won't stop them, I hope it makes some of my data less useful.

I believe that was the implication, too.

One's level of expertise will determine what is "too complex for $SHELL". When that point is reached, it's time to switch to something else, not time to add more features to $SHELL.

(If, when something becomes too complex for $SHELL, you switch to assembly, you might be too much of a $SHELL expert!)
The irony of calling Scott Alexander "deeply ignorant" :)

Human challenge trials. Hundreds of thousands of dead later, and we're still using statistics to answer questions like "is Omicron ignoring immunity", instead of answering them definitely in a few days with an absolute minimum of risk. I'd volunteer for that, btw, so would literally millions. But it's just not inside the Overton window. This isn't wisdom or caution. It's plain cowardice.

My old Nokia 900 slipped from my pocket years ago as I climbed through a roof hatch, fell 25ft and exploded on the concrete floor. I collected the body, the sim, sim holder, SD card, SD holder, bezel, battery and battery cover and put all the pieces back together. It powered up and worked 100%, despite some cosmetic crinkle in the bezel.

This year alone, I have had 3 phones slip or drop 2-3 ft(< 1m), from my pocket or hand, onto carpet and sand, and all came up with cracked glass, one with a screen that no longer lit up.

It still makes sense to start with the core business values then go up with nice to have features.

Compexity comes sometimes from not so important features that could take much longer to migrate. But of course some of these features are why some products are picked over others in the first place, however this requires a case study and more analysis.

Of course there is useful insight here but it still irks me that MVP has become the word for “product with a bunch of features chopped out”.

MVPs are meant to be a business process where you try to validate your business idea as quickly as possible. It is not an actual product. [1]

I completely agree with the author in terms that an MVP should be used to test the riskiest assumptions of the work to be carried out. People seem to have forgotten about that aspect of the MVP and have instead focused on the speed aspect.

I quite like the idea of replacing MVPs with RATs (riskiest assumption test) [2] to stop the misunderstandings that come from MVP having the word “product” in it. Of course the reason for that is to focus the mind on selling from the start but it seems to have added new misunderstandings.

I may just be an old fogey complaining about what words used to mean and need to deal with the reality that language is dynamic, but it seems like it causes a whole load of issues when the important mental model goes missing.

Last year had the original variant and this year delta. In addition last year most countries already were in lockdown since October while this year lockdowns just started mid December. In addition there are still less hospital space taken by covid patients conpared to last year, although the problem here is also mass resignation of medical staff.

How is that not much better on all fronts?
What you’re saying is flat out wrong, please don’t post things like this… you have a lot of HN karma so people wrongly assume you might have a source. You do not. You’re making up a revisionists rendition of events to fit your narrative. Using the word “fiat” screams “I don’t know economics, but I have the confidence to say I do.” You certainly aren’t telling people with physics backgrounds that they’re wrong or pushing tachyons down their throats.

HN, on both sides, left and right gets economics profoundly wrong as though it was being taught in the year 1850. Its a science, not a belief, you just have to like… you know, put effort into it and your intuition is probably wrong.
