I'm always surprised at how many people seem to take note of my little blog, despite having no consistent topic and irregular posting.
The OAuth terminology can be confusing, and many write-ups assume you already know some of it, which doesn’t help.

In OAuth, an “app” is considered a “client”, even if it’s running in a web server in a data center, as it’s a “client” of the other services involved (e.g. the authentication services and the resources/APIs it will access on behalf of the user).

Now if it is running in a web server in a data center, it can be considered “confidential”, as the code/config is not readily available to attackers. Thus the app can hold things like private keys etc. without too much risk.

On the other hand, if the “client” is an app you can install on a PC/mobile device or load into your browser (e.g. a “SPA” app), then this is a “public client”, as attackers can easily access the code and examine it for stored credentials, etc.

Hopefully that makes sense.
Dr house likely tops my intellectual prowess but i appreciate the analogy.
I think the problem is mental diet. Even though many engineers have a history of interest in humanities, our mental diet doesn’t situate us for regular conversations about it. Or not being in a class together, we’re not all thinking about the same things. We might read the same books but with months or years between so hard to talk about.
Thank you. That was actually exhilarating to read.
> So iPhone is closed for 15 years already and thus "the future is doom and gloom" is happening for 15 years already. The more important question is what will be next.

"I disagree with one product's direction, therefore all other products from the same company are doomed to that direction" is not a valid argument, especially not after 15 years of it not happening. Companies are capable of producing products targeting different markets and use cases.

"Domino's added a pizza I don't like to their menu, what will be next? Their entire line up will be a horrible inedible mess in a few years!"

See how stupid that sounds?

All you have to do is not buy an iPhone (like I didn't either) and stop spreading FUD about Macs.
You can check with Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Philipines and other SA countries. I don't see Chile being hostile towards Spanish or Americans. A lot of these countries have in common though. They have different form of government. Perhaps, trying to be peaceful and forgiving would go a long way than trying to be mecha-ultra-vibranium-wolf-eagle?

You're not wrong about Perl. I hate working with it but if you're looking for longevity it's near the top of the list for good choices.

There are some things that run you into trouble. When SSL versions change you might have to update that part of your stack. When things like the log4j vulnerability hit you have to update that sort of thing. If you are working with external systems sometimes they change interfaces and you're forced to update. If you're working with government compliance you no doubt have to change every 3 years for no good reason.
The study included single and double layer; both were an increase vs no mask, but only single was statistically significant.
So you spent your extended weekend working. Lol I only kid. I've always wanted to visit there.
You're absolutely correct, this is all how it used to work. The flip to UTF-8 support and the use of A-funcs for that is very recent; the ability of the app to force itself into this mode first showed up in 2019. The naming doesn't really make much sense anymore, but then that wouldn't be the first for a 35-year old API set...

This thread is somewhat depressing. Depressing because the very nature of YC and HN at its best is optimism. A belief in the ability to build and not just a respect for those who do but a genuine desire to support those trying. Maybe not succeeding, but trying to create something in a world so set on making that difficult. It that always morally perfect: no. Does that always work: no. But, at its best, YC operates more like a university than a venture fund.

Jessica, PG, Geoff, PB, Michael, Jared, Sama and all the other partners have all done very very well by creating/working on YC, but there is a particular underlying ethos of support. Of just a human connection with founders who build. HN in its earliest days had that too, but I don't see any of that on this thread.

The article has a certain ambivalence about the nature of startups themselves (and perhaps, under that, capitalism itself), but Y Combinator has had a profoundly positive effect on my life personally, the lives of hundreds of people I know, the startup and venture ecosystem, and -- whether or not this is "changing the world" -- the economy more broadly.

There are people here who are shitting on the companies YC has helped, in their earliest stages, push forward. Would some of them have succeeded without YC, absolutely. But that doesn't change the fundamental fact that no other small collection of people in history has been instrumental to creating so much enterprise value from scratch -- and thus economic wellbeing more broadly (with, maybe, the exception of Sequoia) other than a few founders of the very biggest tech companies (which YC companies will eventually join the ranks of).

Maybe, you say, that's all just signaling or selection effects. Perhaps you don't learn anything at Harvard or YC; it's just about getting in. Maybe. But when that list includes Airbnb, Doordash, Coinbase, Gitlab, Dropbox, PagerDuty, Stripe, Instacart, Brex, Cruise, Faire, Reddit, Zapier, Gusto, Rippling, Flexport, Segment, Checkr, Webflow, Lob, Opeansea, Sift, Astranis, Twitch, Ironclad, just to mention the ones I can pull off the top of my head, I think it says something about the method, the process, and the support mattering.

And look I'm a founder who didn't succeed with the company I built during YC but that has more to do with my NOT listening to and focusing on the lessons that the partners were trying to impart than any failure on their part.

Now, I'm not without criticisms and suggestions but damn if I'm not rooting for YC and every company in every batch at Alumni Demo Day.
> Why would I artificially limit myself, both for existing and future releases?
> But unless you are willing to be limited in what you can play, a PC gamer will continue to pick Windows.

A lot more people are willing to be limited in what they can play. 10 years ago, it wasn't anywhere near 6/10 -- and in my case, all of the major titles I play (20k~ steam hours) except for one have worked perfectly fine on Arch; no longer a Windows user after 20+ years.
Safety factors; testing; and inspection are engineering.

The Smartbolt doesn't eliminate engineering.

More importantly, safety factors; testing; and inspection are progress. We have robust assemblies built first time based on rational analysis and formal processes. We have sky scrapers, suspension bridges, and space telescopes.
You can learn it all, just that one person isn't enough to do all the work required for a big project. It is like full stack web engineers, you can learn backend and frontend but a big project has enough work that people don't need to know both.
Some of us like running programs we write and send to friends (Gatekeeper), and being able to use real video cards instead of arm chiplets.

Seriously not impressed.

Just spitballing here but to me strict health measures would be something like:

1. Here is the antiviral prophylactic we expect you to take starting X days before you depart and continuing until X days after you arrive.

2. Here is the shower at the entrance to the base that you must use before entering the base proper.

3. Here are the OTC meds or other protocols we expect to keep coughs and such under control in common areas if you are having any issues.

4. Here are your instructions for how to do lung clearance in the shower to minimize coughing and such in common areas.

I'm sure I could come up with more if I really needed to. This is just off the cuff for the sake of conversation with an internet stranger, so not much effort or thought has gone into it.

But macos is not just an os you can select like any other software, or like selecting between windows, linux, bsd.

It's disingenuous to treat it like one.

To use macos (officially), you have to also discard whatever computer you already have, and your choice of new computer is limited to one.

It's essentially irrelevant to the original problem statement, almost as much as chromeos.

A lot of the responses which suggest everyone needs "endless schedule free time as a right" miss this point - either they, or someone else, is supporting their need to eat, sleep, and provide.
In other words our brains took our knowledge about the background of the situation (new phone tech rolling out recently, ML features, etc.) and auto-filled a scenario that covered up the underlying reality here. So, our brains were the ones doing the reality augmentation.

Depends on how many is "many". Most graphics programmers on AAA games have 5-10 years of experience and all of them understand the whole pipeline. Games are realtime so you have the natural ceiling of how complex you can get before you run out of time and drop frames. In the VFX you can have people specializing in something like vegetation or fabrics with 20 years of experience just in that and nobody else in the team even approaching their level of expertise.

The quarantine in Cape Town or in the base? The article is unclear, but it sounds like people don't quarantine at the base normally. This person did after testing positive 7 days after arrival, but by then it was too late.
I'm a few years out of grad school, working at a tech company, and single. I came from an academic background where talking about interesting ideas and concepts was the norm. I had a pretty uncommon career path into tech and I'm not some coder.

My experience is that when you're in my position, it's getting harder and harder (with age) to find people who are interested in talking about ideas, entertaining the curiosities in life without some agenda/getting offended by the controversial ones, talking about possibilities and concepts (rather than objects). Like having conversations on advanced mode with people who are similar.

Often times at parties, when I get bored, I think of a quote, "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events/things. Small minds discuss wine."

It's getting more and more common that I find people just wanting to talk about wine. Or the equivalent. Stuff that's completely forgettable after you leave the party. I mean that stuff is fine, and there's nothing wrong with talking about good food you've had, some articles you've read, movies seen, etc. too. And to be funny and engaging while talking about it. It just feels like... after you're done talking about that, what then?

Or if I do meet people who are intellectually interesting, how to get more connected or where to take it after a chance meeting and pleasant chat?

That said, what do I have to offer at this stage of my life either, to a stranger? I'm unmarried, so I don't have kids or the mortgage to talk about. I'm not a CEO or someone powerful. Also I'm single -- what are people supposed do with that? Don't have a lot of great reasons for anyone to want to go out of their way to spend more time with me after even an interesting 30 min conversation, without some other excuse.

We're not all living close together in shared housing to make intellectually stimulating conversations natural and prolonged. People have their lives to lead, not sit around talking about theoretical ideas. To contact the few people I've found who are interesting would be... how? "Would you like to schedule a get-together again for a conversation date?"

It's not going to get easier either. Probably in a few years I'll be the really odd guy. Eh, it's a life choice I've made, I realize that too -- to be more interested in ideas and experiences than say... people.

I figure I'd better find some interesting hobbies to make up for the lack of intellectual stimulation. But deeper, what am I working towards? For whom? So, sometimes I think of changing jobs just to see more of the world and gather experiences to be able to have more intellectually stimulating conversations. Learn about VC? Hear about more companies? Where/how?

Yeah, it's a bit of a problem sometimes to ponder.
It mostly only broke the things it had to break. v4 isn't forwards compatible to longer address lengths, so the lack of compatibility isn't the fault of any aspect of v6's design.

This feels like it belongs on /r/iamverysmart. I hate to break it to you: you are not nearly as smart as you think you are.

You can't talk to a single person at the party who has an interesting world-view, experience, or education? Isn't that the heart of creating characters? Empathy and experience?

It's fine to not enjoy socializing but acting like it is because you are too creative and smart for everyone else is delusional.

When I go to parties I talk to people about ethics and philosophy and creating music and creativity and cooking, and I trade stories from my past and make jokes.

Acting like watching a lecture on YouTube or reading your thousandths book is somehow superior to talking to living breathing humans because "ideas" is bizarre.

You can do both. Read a lot of books and also socialize.

The video is about the 1980 Harvey's Resort and Casino bombing in Stateline, NV, by Lake Tahoe.

And the answer is they didn't. The bomb itself was quite ingeniously constructed.
This is how I've come to cope with social situations too. Life got a lot more interesting when I decided to be interested in trying to learn something from everyone I talk to.
You are likely smart and skilled enough to not ever die of hunger. Have faith and take the leap. Things work out, like they always do.
Just go lossless. A huge music collection now is, what, 300-500GB in FLAC? That's on the order of 1500-2000 albums, if I've done my orders of magnitude right (about 300MB/album in FLAC).

I re-ripped my CD collection a few years back, and after pondering formats, I realized that for listening around the property, FLAC is perfect (Plex handles it, PlexAmp is nice). And if I really want to stuff more stuff on a smaller drive for the car or something, I can transcode down from FLAC and still have the lossless originals.

It's the same reason my DVD rips from our collection are just MakeMKV wrapping of the original MPEG2. Yeah, I could save some space by transcoding... but disk is cheap, and it's just not worth the hassle. Rip to lossless and go from there.
> Then there's the competitive gaming scene where most serious anti cheat systems are not supported in Linux and may never be.

Hopefully the bit where Valve is working with anti cheat makers actually comes to fruition and works widely:

Online games that make use of anti-cheat software didn't play ball with Proton,
but Valve has been working with the developers to add support for its set of tools.
Now, you can install and enjoy games that use tools like BattleEye and not need to
fire up a Windows install to just play one game every so often.

> The drugs have been around for decades. Using them daily with increasing numbers of children during a decade or so of brain development, has not.

is harmful medical misinformation though. I do think most people reading a confident assertion like yours on this particular forum would assume a personal/academic history or at least some solid background knowledge with the topic at hand to be backing the claim.

I would rather not flaunt my credentials. You shouldn't believe me - you should believe the sources available at your fingertips. Wikipedia's not a bad start if you don't like reading academic papers.
You are doing exactly the right thing by reaching out and asking for advice in communities you are a part of that may be able to offer you a job or a connection to one. One piece of advice however would be to include a link to a resume or personal website showing off your independent projects and skills. It’s these projects that will show what technologies you are proficient in and prove to others that you know what you are doing even at a younger age.

I also started coding very early and used my time choose a project and dive very deep into the full stack. Web technology is the easiest thing to “show off” to others since it’s ubiquitous and easy to distribute. Even if you consider yourself a “back end” type of person, learn some web dev to be able to show and tell.

This is a time in your life that you can work on a piece of software that’s just for fun and to learn and do something cool. If you are lucky and commercial, that project might become a job of its own that provides you a passive income. Otherwise, it’s a part of your portfolio to help you secure another opportunity. I routinely look to give part time/internship opportunities to folks in your position precisely because others may overlook your talents and passion to develop them and because I was one of them :)
I wouldn't call MKUltra a medical experiment.
But is it practical yet for the much larger moths the article is discussing?
No, I'm not kidding. Publishers aren't stupid, they're going to put their best foot forward on the front & back covers.

For example, for scifi, the following lines on the back cover are cause for putting it back on the shelf:

1. journey to the end of the universe

2. journey to the end of time

3. the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance

Those novels always turn out to be bad :-/
Maybe the communities you're a part of are different?
It’s worth noting that YC grew out of discussions between her and PG when she was applying for a job in VC. YC would not exist without her.
Case insensitivity and "what human brains do" becomes incredibly complicated outside of English. There are also many other things which human brains recognize as the same thing but would be unreasonable to implement in filesystems.

In Japanese, くるま, クルマ, and 車 are all the same word (the first two are the phonetic spelling "kuruma", the later is the Chinese character). However in order to know that 車 is read くるま you need to be a native Japanese speaker (or have a dictionary) -- should filesystems have dictionaries to match what a human would think? Search engines that support Japanese have to handle this to some degree, but I humbly suggest implement Google Search's language handling code into a filesystem would be an ill-advised decision.

If you wanted to implement the most minimal version of this you would map between katakana and hiragana, but that means you'll need to do this for other languages. For instance, Serbian. Serbian uses two scripts (both of which have upper and lower case forms) and any native Serbian speaker would see "tuđa ljuta paprika" and "туђа љута паприка" as the same text (note that lj became љ). Should that also be automatically translated in the filesystem?

In German, capitalisation is not reversible. ß becomes SS when capitalised but will be lowercased as ss. (There is now a capital version -- ẞ -- but from what I gather it's not widely used.)

Even in English you have British and American spellings of a given word -- native speakers would recognise them as the same thing but it would not be reasonable to expect a filesystem to map them to the same thing. Initialisms can have different identical representations (N.S.A vs NSA). And you also have cases where capitalisation actually does distinguish words (May vs may, PRISM vs prism, CAT vs cat, etc). What about fullwidth and halfwidth latin characters (Ｈｅｌｌｏ vs Hello)? Arguably those are even more identical than upper and lower case.

For all of the above reasons, case insensitivity is something which most systems will only ever implement for English and a few other European languages, meaning that it's more of a wart than a fully-working feature. If the argument really is "well, a human would recognise these two names as the same thing, so the filesystem should too" then why are none of the other examples given above handled? If it's too difficult to do correctly (which is my view) then why support any of this in the first place? However, everything should be normalised (NFC or NFD depending on your usecase).

In server-to-server, the client is considered trustworthy—no third party is supposed to be able to get the source or inspect memory, and OAuth secret can be a thing.

But if you are, say, GitHub, how can you prove that GitHub Desktop instance trying to auth on behalf of the user is genuinely GitHub Desktop and not some malicious impostor, who previously extracted all the tokens from the original app and now is trying to get access to user’s repos?
