Since you are considered about security, I recommend setting up a VPN (some routers support it, or you can run it on a SBC or old machine). It's a bit of a learning curve but it's a clean and secure solution in that the VPN provides the main line of defense - vs. securing individual endpoints if you expose their ports to the public internet.

The VPN will let you RDP or SSH/VNC into their machines for remote manitenance. Since it gives you access to their entire LAN, this has the bonus of you being able to access and configure other devices like security cameras/etc.

If security is less of a priority there are simpler options other commenters have discussed like Chrome RD, Teamviewer, etc.

I’m ethnically Chinese. While I speak a little I am still mistaken for a foreigner since I often hire a translator and I traveled extensively through China throughout the last 2 decades to many places both remote and urban on a US passport. Never had a problem with hotels (though mostly booked online) nor staying at relatives/friends houses, nor anything blatantly authoritarian besides my internet bring blocked (which I got around using a SOCKS proxy).

I was also part of an Obama administration sponsored group of Americans sent to China for an entrepreneurship exchange trip and I think more Americans should be sent to China to learn about it rather than reading biased second hand accounts over the internet. While it was a guided and escorted tour, we were also allowed to freely wander the cities in some of the evenings. It would go a long way to ease tensions and reduce enmity between the two nations if there was more genuine cultural interaction instead of spooky observations from afar. People tend to exaggerate and boogeyman what they don’t know and understand.

There are many paywalls not so easy to bypass as removing a hovering modal, spoofing User-Agent and Referrer or redirecting to Wayback Machine or Google Cache.

There is a wellknown paywall-cleaning browser extension and it fails to bypass a lot. Issue list here: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea...
This is a great post and a reminder that HN is a great platform / community.

It also seems like a reminder that the internet really does have the power to bring people together in meaningful substantive ways.

Especially when there are still social platforms that allow for clear minimally augmented communication between individuals.

Thank you for the inspiring post and thank you HN for an inspiring year!
I reached out to Jeff Wilcox who runs the Open Source Programs Office now earlier (see Tweet https://twitter.com/berndverst/status/1474789173882089472?s=...).

He since commented on this post with a lot more detail.
What I have in mind is a general purpose language that you could build relational database in, that would use the same language syntax for queries that this language uses for simpler collections like array or set.

When you try to use SQL as a general purpose language syntax is not that great and not that unified.

I often wonder why so much effort is being put into shoehorning everything into a single language. Wouldn't it make much more sense to use a fully differentiable DSL for machine learning / xla, then call it from whatever host language you use?

This is a syntagm I did not expect reading on Hacker News in a comment about technology, but about a roleplaying game.
Would it have really been possible?

Britain couldn't get a deal then vote for it, as the EU would then hold all the cards negotiating. I.e it will be have offered Britain nothing in order to stop Brexit.

Likewise if Britain had set up a bureaucracy to deal with Brexit before it was voted for there would have been a massive backlash about the waste of tax payer money on an uncertain event.
Hmm I never really considered this but I will definitely look into what kind of possibilities I have in Sales and/or what courses I can take possibly.

No, I never said that. I said that literacy has a very arbitrary definition.

Rather, the act of drawing a hard line between literate and non-literate is a very Western way of analyzing language learning and doesn't scale well past a certain set of languages. By drawing such a hard line you end up with ridiculous conclusions such as that a child needs 12 years to be literate in Japanese. Sure, if you go by your arbitrary definition.

You can say that the average kid in an English speaking country needs 18 years before they know what "erudite" and "ostentation" mean if you draw the line there.
Yes, very nice writeup from Microsoft.

Had a similar experience with AzureCli v2.30, where the environment variable to ignore certificate errors suddenly did not work anymore.

It turned out it was removed but there was no mention of it in the release notes.

On the GitHub page quick response was provided by Microsoft.
If you live somewhere that requires a long commute to work (ie. an exurb) you are likely completely dependent on a private vehicle for all other aspects of your lifestyle.

Good transportation policy is actually good land use policy, and good land use policy is great climate policy.

We don't need fusion reactors in space to stop climate change. We need walkable neighborhoods, an international carbon price and more trains.

The harmful fantasy being sold to the public is that we can solve climate change while still having the vast majority of people living in far flung suburbs and driving a seven person truck 10km to go pick up a carton of eggs.

Microsoft Hololens 2: I use one for work, and it's absolutely incredible. It's an augmented reality headset with built-in hand tracking, so you interact with the holograms by touching them with your hands. You mentioned "Tony Stark" technology, and it really is like the hologram computer he uses. When you look down at your hands, you see a Windows logo appears on your wrist (it follows your wrist due to the hand tracking). When you tap on the Windows icon on your wrist, a start menu appears in front of you, and you can choose an AR app to launch by tapping it with your finger. These apps can be full 3D experiences (like ones created with Unity) or they can be 2D apps where you can place 2D windows around you (like the built-in Edge browser app). These headsets are over $3K, so they're currently used for high-end niche use cases that justify that investment. For example, some of my customers use them to show 3D instructions to technicians for aerospace manufacturing. However, from using the Hololens 2, it's clear to me that AR will inevitably become a major computing platform once the price is reduced. My guess is that we will start to see that in 6 - 10 years.
Every building is different, so my advice might not be useful for you. I'd recommend researching your building and figuring out several escape strategies, including the details like how you will protect yourself from the smoke (smoke will be EVERYWHERE, and you really don't want to breathe it in). If a fire is something you're worried about, I'd recommend writing/printing out your escape plan and posting it somewhere, e.g. in your closet, because there's a good chance you will be too scared to remember it when the time comes.

Based on my experience, my one very general piece of advice that everyone should take into account is this: figure out if there are any "single points of failure" in your escape plans. That is, is there a single location where a fire could start that would block ALL your escape routes? In my case, the fire was on a first floor apartment across the hall from the elevator, between the two staircases, and also directly below my apartment's fire escape, so this single fire blocked all 4 of my easy escape routes. If you identify such a situation, think about what you will do if a fire does start there.

All that said, here are some things I could have done, which I came up with after the fact. Obviously I haven't tested any of these, so take them with a grain of salt:

Break into someone else's apartment and use their fire escape on another side of the building.

Find a way up to the roof and walk across to the other side of the building, which has its own separate hallway with 2 staircases and an elevator. Alternatively, I could have tried to break through my bedroom wall into the adjacent unit, which connects to the other side hallway.

If it came to it, I probably could have got my quilt soaking wet in the bathtub, draped it over top of my body for protection, held my breath, and sprinted down the stairs and out of the building. It turned out that while the smoke was going up both staircases, the fire was limited to only a single apartment unit, although of course I didn't know this at the time.

Outdoors, the fire was only blocking the staircase side of the fire escape. I could have descended down the other side of the fire escape by hanging down off the side and dropping down to the floor below me, one floor at a time, and then jumping down to the ground.

I have a long rope in my closet that I could have tied to my radiator and let out my bedroom window on the other side of the building. This would have been quite risky, because there's a lot of unknowns: How much weight can the radiator hold? How much can the rope hold? Am I strong enough to support my weight with my arms on a rope?

Lastly, it turns out you're unlikely to die from jumping out a 4th story window. (International note: 4th story is 3 floors up from the ground level floor) You're not terribly likely to walk away from it either, but a broken leg is better than dying in a fire.
What did you like to do when you were about 8 years old?
Compared to other countries already in the EU I don't see that as a huge problem, the Copenhagen criteria could be met. But regardless, it would always be a slow process, first a referendum, then a (heavily contested) formal secession from the Union, then a period to get their house in order and apply for formal EU membership which would then take another two to three years to hash out. I don't see this happening on a total timescale less than five years.

And then there are still the questions of internal borders, Schengen and the Euro.
Yeah, I was really blown away by it. This is an amazing example of quality journalism. Not only was the investigative work impressively thorough, but the quality of the writing and tone came together to make this one of the most compelling things I've read in a long time.

Yes it would help, and you have described Bitcoin's Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) protocol: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf#page=5
when i first started experimenting with psychedelics on my own, i would set up stations in my room. i had a sketchpad on my desk and an assortment of pens and pencils, next to that i had a journal where i would routinely jot down my fleeting thoughts/feelings. across the room, i had my window open, so that i could look at the stars outside and feel like i wasn't trapped in a shoebox. on my bed, i had my phone and a nice pair of headphones. i also had my computer here, so that i could watch tv. sometimes, when my dog would let me, i would also curl up next to him on the floor. over time, i tried to introduce new stations, like programming and reading, but they never really stuck.

all of these activities kept me busy, but none of them were quite as fulfilling as just closing my eyes and letting my mind do the work (even with music as a guide). eventually, i just started doing the opposite -> the stations remained, but only as tools to help me beat my anxiety and/or boredom. if i ever feel that i am approaching a period of overwhelming feelings, i distract myself with the activities i mentioned.

> we don't need

It's not difficult to imagine a situation in which someone does not /strictly/ need a car (it also seems urban life is quite common these days). It should also be extremely easy to imagine having a car as extremely beneficial.

(By the way: epidemics still being far from forgotten, it's really odd to paint collective, "public" transport as aproblematic.)

Now, to attack the problem, one could also (and in some contexts primarily) hit house heating. There are voices recommending heating limited to 16°C/61°F. The issue is just about quality of life. Including enabling operations. Hacker should be attentive on their instruments, since they are instrument crafters.

Since the control of resources has always been linked to their price (which is also equivalent to, or actually including, an externality tax) - so given a clear alternative -, I am not sure how the whole idea of "we will do without", restricting "freedom" (in abstract terms, as a primary value for constitutional decisors) and operation, came to be.

(Up to not seeing "the car" as a life changing revolution... Reading just recently the first pages of a history text, the car was immediately mentioned as "expanding the possibilities for movement to unimaginable heights even for the richest of fifty years before". It has always been very clearly a most prominent gift of engineering, as if a third dotation of natural limbs: it's odd to now read about it as "negligible".)
Clojure sequences (https://clojure.org/reference/sequences) provide some of what you are looking for:

"Clojure uses the ISeq interface to allow many data structures to provide access to their elements as sequences.

The seq function yields an implementation of ISeq appropriate to the collection.

Seqs differ from iterators in that they are persistent and immutable, not stateful cursors into a collection.

As such, they are useful for much more than foreach - functions can consume and produce seqs, they are thread safe, they can share structure etc."

Seqs do not handle the "here is my requirement, pick a collection for me" feature you want, but rather "here is a collection, run this algorithm"
>I certainly understand how scandalous this looks to crowds like Hacker News.

I don't. I'm with the Microsoft employee who was pissed at how people think it's edgy to diss on Microsoft. What were the chances that Microsoft was openly doing that? Some dude who has now deleted his post said Microsoft was trying to "create a monopoly of web IDEs". These are clearly people who barely have a passing knowledge of how Microsoft works these days.

People think critical thinking means complaining endlessly. It doesn't. You can't think critically if you don't think clearly. And you can't think clearly if you're only looking for a reason to lift the pitchforks.
>My response on LinkedIn or AngelList when approached by business people and recruiters with their dreadful job opening is usually along the lines of "Thanks for making me aware of this opportunity. Sounds boring. Good luck in your continuing candidate search."

Thank you, this is what I always think with these job adverts. It's almost impossible to think about anything less appealing than a list of technologies they require without any motivation why.
I try to do this as well, and in exchange they usually are good about me taking my holidays off(in my case Eid). To me it's just another Saturday, so why not-- I see how much it means to people who celebrate it. Getting time and a half is nice too

You really think the cases are equivalent?

TikTok is allowed unabated in the US. Twitter is blocked in China.

This sort of false equivalency discussion is getting really annoying. Even Hacker News is partly blocked in China.

If the US follows China's policies symmetrically, a ton more companies would be blacklisted.
Just like South Korea. It's sad so many lives were lost and the current situation is impossible to solve because of former US involvement.
Great write up!

I’ve long been interested in self hosting, but constantly tweaking and never got #3 stable. After iCloud made it easy to do #1, I pushed my parents into using it and gave them my domain (@lastname). Now I just share it too, since it’s just too easy.

I encourage everyone who wants to change to something they control, or uses a paid iCloud tier to set up their own vanity domain for iCloud. It’s so easy and lets you own the identity, which is a critical part and portable. Not trying to shill anything, but it took 10 minutes and is offered by apple, so every not tech-savy person has heard of and trusts them, so it’s easier to convince others.
Yeah, you have the average programmer who spends so much time worrying about what FE framework to use, then you have the programmers at the level of the two you mention who just put out so many working projects. All the cargo culting most devs do is just waste.
adding: that was before the poster edited their need about being ready to get hard with other men whilst listening to Pat Benatar.
> The thread is full of lurid accusations, because those are fun to write and talk about, but it shouldn't take even a minute's thought to see how dumb a heist this would have been.

Another good reminder that Hacker News is not above assuming the worst and gathering pitchfork mobs like any other social media.

The issue looked like a mistake from the start to anyone paying attention (committed by a bot, changes were consistent with a boilerplate LICENSE file being checked in).

If someone at Microsoft wanted to steal some code, forking it on Github and then publicly documenting the history of the code in the most visible way possible would truly be the dumbest way to do it.
Web 3.0 is a stock pump.
> Afaict, none of them requires multiple mutable references to the same objects

They ask to store objects ("turtles") into a single Vec. Two turtles from that Vec can breed to create a child turtle stored in that same vec. Parents must retain a reference (a real ref, not an index or other workaround) to their children, meaning that children have multiple refs. Children can become parents themselves, so all the turtles are mutable.

There you have it: multiple mutable references to the same object. With proper Rust you'll need some kind of RefCell to implement this (convoluted) design. The runtime check will ensure a runtime panic if you try to make the same object mutable via different RefCells (trying to breed a turle with itself). With BronzeGc the compiler will believe that they are different objects, and UB-optimize accordingly.
I would agree. The saying, "Idle hands are the devils playground" can be appropriated as, "An idle mind is the fertile soil of the depressed."

Although the reality is the mind is anything but idle for those predisposed to depression. The rumination, negative thought patterns and self-critical thoughts are worse than a prison sentence of solitary confinement.

For those who may not understand this, imagine standing over a 5 year old constantly berating them, in a horrifically negative way, for every action they take, good or bad. Now imagine the effects of that over years or decades.
And it's not just restaurants -- the grocery stores are loaded with options that they didn't previously have.

Part of the challenge is that most formulations of (reverse mode )auto diff wind up requiring extra runtime data structures for the backwards computation step.

There’s been some great work in this space in the past 5 years.

I’ve got some stuff I worked out this fall I’m overdue to write up and share some prototypes : there is a way to do reverse mode auto diff isolated to just being an invisible compiler pass! Without any of the extra complexity in what are otherwise equivalent formulations
