For most accounts your email password is already a single point of failure (password reset flow).

Even where that's not true, the tradeoff with a password manager is in strengthening defenses broadly in exchange for a more central point of failure, compared to weak defenses all around but no single point that gives everything away. The idea being that you can remember one, really good high entropy password, vs. having a bunch of weak passwords.

Of course, the theoretical ideal would be having lots of different strong passwords, but that's not how human memory works.
Ah, interesting. Thanks.

If useful: ZGC has actually been available on different platforms in earlier Java releases. Linux, Windows, and macOS didn’t all get ZGC at the same time.

If you're focusing on just getting a software job and not shooting for a particular industry where C++ is used heavily, there are far more jobs that use much easier languages (e.g. C#, Java, Python). C++ really takes some time to understand the myriad nuances that other languages obviate through GC (or not having templates, or simpler rules about overloads, or no intricate distinctions over value categories, etc).

Now if you're in to mastering complexity, C++ can be a great choice, as there are a ton of complex things to learn, but I would take a look at job postings where you think you might want to end up to see if it is actually required. It is very unsexy to talk about on HN, but for pure employability, Java (and other JVM-based languages) are probably the best in most areas. There are tons of remote jobs, and pretty much in any city, plus you can branch out into other JVM-based languages (e.g. Scala!) once you feel so inclined and still incorporate that at work. C# and F# have a similar "progression" and are now completely open source too!

Good luck, whether or not you end up choosing C++!

> The writing is on the wall. You MUST host your own code on a stand-alone website.

How would self hosting your code prevent Microsoft/GitHub from using it in the Copilot training dataset? If using content from GitHub irrespective of their license to train Copilot is legal, so is training from code available on your website.
> The larger issue is that anyone using Github is donating their work for re-use without attribution through Copilot.

I think this can only be valid of Github's terms of use clearly specify that or the chosen license allows it.

I actually see copilot benefiting GPL projects: suppose a programmer uses copilot to develop a proprietary software and copilot regurgitates GPL'ed code: now the proprietary software is a derivative work and must be GPL'ed too.

I think they're trying to create a corporate cult where everyone believes in the mission and that the delivery workers are happy and being given great gifts of opportunity by the corporate giver rather than being exploited.

They don't want empathy for the actual situation of the (delivery) workers -- which would require empathizing with the precarity of their whole existence. They want a ritualized simulacrum of empathy. They want to pretend that they have empathy, exactly to negate the possibility actual empathy, and to negate actual worker revolt.

It's the exact opposite of what it presents itself as.
> Also this “Having sensory processing issues doesn’t make you “a little autistic.” It makes you someone with sensory processing problems.

This filing-people-into-groups thinking is something that i see so often here on HN and I'm so bothered by it.

For me, i do what i feel i want to do, and make up names and concept for it afterwards if it seems necessary. Sometimes i don't have words for what i am doing. Its a lot of improvisation.

For some people, this process seems to be reversed... Like as if they need to be "validated" by external concepts, otherwise they don't do some things. And they feel relieved when they have a diagnosis like "autism". Not having a name/explanation for it seems like a barrier to them.

I don't know what i am observing here, but I'd like to know. Maybe this is like the inner-monologue thing, where humans vastly differ in some regard but are unaware of it.
> If someone says that they are ‘a little autistic’ they aren’t saying that they ‘are autistic’, they are just attempting to emphasize. Don’t destroy that by getting into a semantic debate.

It's like saying "I'm actually 1/16 Cherokee!" as a form of group-identifying empathy. Note: It is not.

> I work in this field and I dislike takes like this, where individuals think they can speak for a whole group.

People like us have been trying desperately to get people who "work in the field" to understand us for decades, with little success. This is but one example.
Interesting read. I was very disappointed when the Swift TensorFlow project withered away. A good general purpose programming language combined with deep learning seemed like a great idea. Apple actually provides a good dev experience with Swift and CoreML (for fun I wrote a Swift/SwiftUI/CoreML app that uses two deep learning models that is in the App Store).

Wolfram Language takes an approach similar to Apple’s in providing a good number of pre trained models, but I haven’t yet discovered any automatic differentiation examples.

Of the frameworks described in the article, I find Julia most interesting but I need to use Python and TensorFlow in my work.
You make this seem as if it’s no big deal at all. If that is true why wasn’t the Canadian health agency open and transparent about it from the beginning?

Perhaps people don’t want public health agencies tracking their movement? Perhaps the Canadian health agency knew people wouldn’t like it and decided not to disclose it publicly. An omission of fact is fundamentally equivalent to an outright lie.

Which then begs the question of what else they aren’t disclosing.

Why should people trust a lying public health agency?
So true for me. Sometimes i delay things to the point that the crush me. For example taxes… my big luck i am not in prison for paying them that late. Bigger luck i can compensate my adhd with money. …. Thing that suck is the zero tolerance i get when telling people i got adhd and thats why i pay that late. They lough in my face. But a friend of mine with depression is taking super seriously… bur he also arguments like „ give me time to pay this or i kill myself“ ….
If that function always returned, say, the AACS key then it would likely be violating copyright in the US. Regardless of whether it was the result of a computation or statically defined.
The illnesses you mentioned are misdiagnosed all the time. DSM-V is a joke and so are most mental health professionals. They’re just fitting a list of symptoms to another list of symptoms based on what amounts to Levenshtein distance.

Anyone can be diagnosed with ADHD these days. And for all intents and purposes the patient might have 9/10 symptoms. But do they really have ADHD or is it something else? We don’t even have the capacity to figure that out right now because our understanding is so limited.
"Not Github" is also a good place to start.

It was actually surprisingly easy to do. There were pre-built 'plugins' (hooks) for almost every native API you could imagine and it was really 'plug & play'. Overall, I had almost zero issues with installing and building with Capacitor (there was only one real issue, where an official plugin didn't support the behavior I was looking for, so I switched to a different 'community-made' one). Apple also reviewed and accepted to app for sale of the app store in less than 48 hours (which was something I was a little scared about, since it's a PWA under the hood simply wrapped in Capacitor's runtime)
Spoken like someone who's never spent any time in or around the US service industry. People will gossip, and something like this would be known - hell, I'd likely know it, just on account of knowing some folks who would know and would want to talk about it. I don't live in a tech monoculture, either geographically or socially, and I'm friendly, personable, and good at explaining complex systems simply. Because of that I get a lot of questions from acquaintances about everything from phone and PC repair to what human life might look like after a hard-takeoff singularity. Those conversations go lots of places, but often tend to converge on people's worries about tech in general, as they take the chance of a discussion with someone knowledgeable to check their anxieties against reality. So the surprise, if this were happening, would be more that by now someone hadn't mentioned it, over drinks or otherwise, in my hearing.

That said, I don't find that lack at all surprising. What you're thinking of here is more of a Stasi-style "informers everywhere" kind of deal, and US domestic mass surveillance really doesn't work that way. Much more likely would be something like NSA watching payment card transactions en masse for debits from hotels and associating those with cell tower and identity data, and maybe also having quietly penetrated the major booking systems to spot cash purchases. In light of Snowden's 2013 revelations, it wouldn't surprise me to hear about either of those, and indeed I assume they are both being done. (Not least because that's probably how I'd build it. Why deal openly with a bunch of separate businesses and fractious employees when you can much more quietly and easily learn all you want from what's going over the wire?)

And aside from all that - not for nothing is it so common a theme in our popular media, especially these last couple of decades, that by and large we'd really just rather not know. You've mentioned that you don't really understand America, and that checks out; if you did, you'd neither be surprised that the response to Snowden was mostly a yawn, nor need telling anything I've said in this comment. Our intelligence agencies certainly don't.

I have seen much of these problems with Scrum, as well. Redefining "complete" so we can book the points, but actually finish it in the next sprint is very, very common. Finishing early, starting on a future story, but the scrum master asking you to not bring that story into the current sprint, in case you don't finish it, is also a frequent occurrence. My view is "if I don't finish it, it rolls over, so who cares", but this is frowned upon since it throws off the reports.
Note that the original post is from a purveyor of commercial email, he probably feels the heat from those artisanal servers.
You can run your own email servers(s) as long as you know what you are doing. Setting up your own is not for the faint of heart. However, cPanel will do the initial setup work. CSF will see to it that your mail server is moderately secure, and that the bots trying to kick down its doors are get banned. Setup of DMARC, SPF, etc increasingly gets automated. Mxtoolbox makes sure that all aspects of DNS and mailservers are correct. Finally, you can send mail to something like analyze.email, and they will score your server. If you score an 8 or better, your email will definitely go through (analyze.email will hand out demerits for NOT having a link in your email, for from and reply being the same, or for a lack of a list-unsubscribe.)
If you run your own business, an own website and email address is important for branding. Gmail sent “on behalf of” does not install a lot of trust.

Here are the downsides to outsourcing your email:

- Who will read your mail sitting on their server?
- Who will give your mail sitting on their server to anyone waving some legal papers?
- Who can kick you off their server without recourse, killing many years of investment into your email identity?

Here are the downsides to rolling your own email server:

- If an evil hacker invades your badly protected server, and uses it for gadzillions of spam, a nicer provider will turn off your outgoing email, a nastier one will null-route you no questions asked. That’s why you should start your career as an artisanal mailhoster on a VPS -- you can always rent another one. It gets nastier when a homelabber decides to do it from home. Hacker invades, Internet provider cancels your account for violation of TOS. You usually don’t have much choice when it comes to a new hardline provider, and it will take a while.
- A big danger are the countless blacklists. It is very hard not to be on any. Some will blacklist whole net blocks if one IP in the block misbehaves. Some are plainly extortionist; they want money for removal. Frankly, they should be taken to court.

Unless copilot serves as a legally effective "laundering" of gpl code. Which sounds silly, but we're now in a situation where that outcome is super desirable to GitHub/Microsoft.

Another potential outcome is that so many projects could now end up unknowingly using gpl code that enforcement becomes an impractical whack-a-mole, far more so than today. Being told to rework or relicense your project because of copiloted gpl code could easily end up with hobbyists wholesale begrudging the gpl license rather than copilot itself.

> {x:, y:} is a syntax sugar of {x: x, y: y}.

> foo(x:, y:) is a syntax sugar of foo(x: x, y: y).

This is going to be controversial and take some getting used to, but I think eventually everyone will love it. It’s not an easy syntax to learn - I remember when this came to JS it took a while to get my head around all the different ways this shorthand was used in the wild.

It’s hard to come up with new syntax that can peacefully coexist with the established language. I think in hindsight it would have been helpful for Ruby if it had done something like square braces instead of brackets for hash literals, or not allowed brackets for blocks. The most ambiguous syntax all involves hash literals vs blocks… this adds to that cognitive load.

But typing out a long hash literal just to capture a bunch of local variables or methods is so common, and the duplication is quite annoying, so on the whole I’m glad this was added and am sure I’ll use it a lot :)

> medications is generally speaking very effective for people with ADHD

It sometimes helps with some symptoms, and not permanently. Mainly, the stimulants increase your activation energy and 'concentration'.

> But you do have solutions

No, there isn't a "solution". ADHD is adaptive and wide-ranging. With ADHD, you will always needs to be aware of your deficits and how to work around them. However, therapy can indeed help with that and reducing some of them.

A significant subset of people do find their doctors unsympathetic and find it hard, especially given the ADHD, to access potential treatment, so it's understandable that your parent post is venting frustration. Not everyone has the option to change doctor or push against an unsympathetic system.

I observe some confused comments on this page that seem to argue that the MIT license doesn't come with a requirement to keep the copyright line intact (which is demonstrably false, you don't get two paragraphs into the license without finding the attribution requirement).

The part that caught my interest is: How many people consciously picked the MIT license when they actually meant a non-attribution license?

Yes. Additionally, the way such actions are performed is not great because the mechanism used does not provide any way to provide feedback - if the change was done by a user account, then they would have received notifications about the comments posted under the commit, but the ones received by the service account probably go nowhere.
