Cloudflare has been doing some great things. But lately it seems that, maybe, they have their hands in too many cookie jars. I get the ominous feeling that things could go south real fast.

I have my browser setup in a way that makes Cloudflare quite intrusive. I use the Temporary Containers extension on Firefox to open almost all websites in temporary containers (paired with the Containerise extension to whitelist the handful of sites that I like to stay logged in to).

About 30% of the random (like from web searches) sites I visit throw the Cloudflare captcha at me...EVERY SINGLE TIME. I'm so sick of picking out boats and buses that I just close out the tab without bothering the visit site.

I assume, that if I wasn't using Temporary Containers, a Cloudflare cookie after the 1st captcha would persist for the entire browser session, but there are privacy implications which are beyond the scope of this post.

Anyways, I guess what I'm saying is...Cloudflare sure seems great. Dangerously great.
>In cold war it was obvious there were two sides

Um, no.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement
AVX-512 is so useful in benchmarks that sites like Anandtech intentionally build their benchmarks without it, because the presence of AVX-512 spoils the whole horse race narrative they are trying to sell.
People say that now because everyone already had a decade

>where it thinks you are a bot/sucker and gives you unlimited images until you give up.

I frequently get these from Cloudflare when using Tor Browser. Google is basically unusable with Tor Browser.
Bizarre -- I've never had a recorded interview and that would throw me off completely as a candidate.
Ask HN: Other than writing code, how do YOU maximize your output?
Presumably your day job is writing code.

Other than writing code, what practices, routines, systems, or otherwise... do YOU use to maximize your output (ship more code)? These could be wholly unrelated to software, or maybe not.

Strict morning routine?

Fulfilling hobby?

Coffee habit?

Diet?

Sleep?

Medication?

Music?

Pomodoro?

TDD?

Read software blogs?

Study/Memorize APIs?

What works for YOU on a day-to-day basis to help you get into a highly productive flow?
My wife and I just re-watched it the other night, on a whim. What a great movie!

Totally holds up 30 years later and in retrospect was WAY ahead of its time for 1992: Hacker spaces in SF, for-profit pen-test teams, cryptography and the implications of quantum computing, etc.

Go watch it if you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing it. And, of course, Sidney Poitier is excellent (“Mar-tin!”)

It sounds like an archival usage rather than syncing or sharing usage.

The Story of Webb
The data comes from Spotify, so I guess we should ask them :)

But in my tests, the pitches seem to be averaged so only the dominant key is reported.
Is there an alternative mechanism (outside an employment agreement) through which options can be granted?
It looks fine, but it's an incredibly generic Bootstrap-looking design. Nothing special about it that I can see.
(Also in UK) unless I've just become so accustomed to seeing fire extinguishers that I ignore them, it seems they are, and in some cases even more so. The bus stop near me (not a building, just a metal shelter that maybe 5 people can fit under) has a defib. I think our offices used to as well.
if you have dedicated user creds, then it's harder to do that without being root. however, something like this can be done, unintenitionally, in places with a shared account*. one user logs in, and decides to set somethings up that they prefer. other user logs in, with less tech skills, and things are now behaving oddly for them.

*yes, this happens for various reasons in the real world
Depends what the cause is.
So now we are getting into the same situation as with Twitter for example, where the people running platform are going to start to be the ultimate arbiters of “rules” and “truths”.

Should github get involved in this like they did? If they thought his account got hacked, maybe yes. But he did it on purpose, so what happens now? Are they gonna reinstate the empty repo?

With all our code so dependent on external sources nowadays, this kind of situation could happen more and more.
That cooler temperature has got to be compounded by the lack of cars pumping out heat as well. But I wonder how such a design would handle large snow falls. Old northern cities in Europe don't seem as compact.
On desktop? Nah…
Looks like September is when the buffer in the global supply chain ended. At that point people realize what they took for granted and were definitely willing to pay more when it meant shutting down their operation otherwise.
It wasn't a customer chat, so much as a chat room specific to a given web-page, so that people browsing there could talk about it; much like an interactive/real-time disqus widget.
Lumber has doubled in the last six weeks. Eight foot 2x4’s are now $6 in the Midwest.
I really gave up on the Atlantic when they titled one article, "Georgia's Experiment with Human Sacrifice." What they meant is that someone was taking an approach to COVID that they didn't like.
Semi-related: my favorite dev tool is diff2html

I aliased `diff` to open up my browser showing me the full diff of what I'm working on - super useful!

No it’s a supply side problem, urea is synthesized from ammonia which is synthesized from methane and atmospheric nitrogen. Methane and in general fossil fuel prices spiked and brought fertilizer prices with it. There is probably also a covid labor component as well.

The family farm is planting a lot less corn as a result.
Imagine being a mercenary
opinion meets irony
> Urea is a component of AdBlue

The other component being water.
> It's a little hard for me to believe that there are IPv6-only users out there

Why is this hard to believe?

IPv4 ran out a while ago depending on which part of the world you are in.
New networks do no longer get IPv4 by default. Some can get very small allocations that are barely enough to operate nat64 gateways for a few thousand users.
Quite a few networks decided to not invest in legacy IP any more and better spend their (limited) resources on other activities.

> Who are these people?

me + non 1st-world countries.
I wasn't referring to climate change, etc. when I replied to the nice Danish fellow. I was mostly referring to his note regarding the sense of community and equality in Denmark.

My point is that cultural dissimilarity creates a lot of mistrust and frustration. If I don't have the same common goal as my neighbor, and we have a completely different style--our chances to be in conflict are a lot higher, and so my likeliness of wanting to help him out are much lower.

I'm from Israel, and even if you look just at the Jewish demography, the differences between the different groups, are huge -- even though we all speak Hebrew, part of the Jewish culture/religion in some way, etc.
The life goals of a secular Jew in Tel-Aviv, could be almost the complete opposite of a religious Jew in Jerusalem -- you can imagine the conflict to be quite immense, and hence the sense of community greatly eliminated.
Why do they even need the military for this? Can't they just use some computer graphics instead? We have video games full of photorealistic fighter jets and helicopters.
I'd walk. This didn't happen by accident and it is a good harbinger of what's to come.
Faster Checkouts Could Reduce Virus Spread in Stores
The cause of this is that natural gas prices have dramatically risen in much of the world. For example, in the UK, natural gas has gone up 5x.

Urea is made from ammonia which is made from natural gas.

The effect of this will mostly impact the agricultural sector, where it is the main component of many fertilisers.
> Things got tense over the years when they realized we did it faster / better than they did.

Having lived most of my life in the Midwest, and about six years in Silicon Valley, I had to agree with this. There are smart people everywhere, but I've found above-average intelligence is somehow common in the Twin Cities area. (I know that's mathematically problematic.) There are a lot of unusually smart people living in the Twin Cities. I didn't know that was weird until I lived elsewhere.

Depends on the mood. I can't sleep without a podcast or audiobook now. I use airpods but they fall out during the night. and I get bummed if I wake up and can't find them or need to listen to something else to fall asleep again at 4am and the battery is drained.
Your comment has been unfairly downvoted. There are IPv6-only users, but they can access IPv4 servers just fine through transition techniques. Otherwise they’d be unable to access most of the internet. You probably interpreted it as no IPv4 connectivity at all, which as you assumed is impossible.
I could imagine paying even up to $100+ but only for niche use-cases (finance data, fiding experts/employees). I would like ability to create plugins for search usecases and for example take 20% cut, basically allow for search app store. I wonder if it would work.
Goods whose supply has a natural upper limit in what's easily obtainable (given current methods and infra) and no easy substitutes in their use up the supply chain often have price spikes when (non-spiking) marginal demand suddenly bumps into that limit ... or else when there's a sudden limitation in the ability to deliver the usual supply of the good. Neither of these is a demand spike, per se.
My impression (from what I heard/read without deeper understanding) is that this is harder with x86 than with ARM. But perhaps he deems it viable.
Over the years, I am convinced that agile process falls into the bullshit jobs category. At one point of time I stared asking a routine question, if we finish all of this work by next week, how long it would take for this to go to production? There is always several weeks of gap (unless it is really critical, then there is no agile process anyway).
Really cool observation!
SSN and proof of citizenship are required for all US companies to employ someone. It's not just background checks.
more modern day is to make asinine posts on whatever social platform user left open
If you only care about the CDN parts, you can change the security level in the Cloudflare firewall settings to Off and it won't serve any captchas.
A lot of Silicon Valley engineers are extremely focused on money as a status indicator, despite the rhetoric about passion, changing the world, etc.

But he's also expanding his responsibilities, going from just Mac SoC design to being in charge of Intel's entire division.
Writing Bindings Upside Down
That's why I can't ever get used to Vim plugins in other editors. They assume the modal controls are what defines this editor, while in truth that's just the obvious tip of the iceberg and all other aspects are ignored.

For me Vim means no clutter, distractions or "help" nobody asked for, performance, a powerful yet simple system for keybindings, and keyboard controls that cover 100% of the functionality.
One of the best things about my job is that the CEO and other product owners genuinely understand and accept that when they change requirements and blow out X weeks/months of work the project will take that much longer. Not having that at the upper levels of management is going to make everyones lives painful. It's not a quit immediately issue, but certainly an explore your alternatives issue. It's also sometimes a symptom of financial stress. Life is _much_ better working at a company that is significantly and reliably profitable. Deadlines at the C level are bankruptcy and/or negative cash flow. Even decent executives have trouble not trickling that pressure down on the entire dev team. But as a dev without a signifiant equity package, the solution to that is just find a better company. Also, as a junior you pretty much shouldn't be making _any_ architecture decisions. Suggesting them, sure, but actually making them, no.
Intel has always been doing artificial market segmentation. I would only be surprised if they somehow release a cpu generation with the same features across all models...
Even the webcam API requires HTTPS, I guess that makes sense?
The commment is vague, uncler, reads as a shallow dismissal, and doesn't inform.

It may be valid. It's insufficient as it stands to make a determination.

TL;DR: it's noise.
This should be a welcomed critique. While I believe China is worse, the US has many issues that affect the majority on a personal level that should bother the average citizen more than it does. Healthcare insurance, medical debt, credit scores, worker’s rights, privacy data, and the list goes on.

I could whataboutism your point, but I think it’s clear you aren’t saying we should move to China. Instead the point seems to be that our Democracy seems to be back sliding.

Plus critiquing your government makes for a better democracy.
No, but HN is the center for articles on pretty much everything, including "notable celebrity dies". It's ridiculous to apply the usual (tired) trope of HN of "how is this relevant"
Oh yeah, defining the thresholds and their associated courses of action ahead of time is important to make a good decision.

Any time someone wants to measure something, the top two questions should be "what are the lower and upper bounds this value has to exceed for us to do something different?"

Very often, it turns out these thresholds for change are so astronomical that nobody thinks we have even the slightest chance of exceeding them. That means the measurement is completely useless. Whatever result we plausibly get, it won't change anything.

You can save a lot of time this way!
One issue is turnover, it's annoying to spend time training someone who you won't be working with a long time. I've only had that really happen once.

So a tip for junior's might be to look at places where folks have a bit of tenure and stick around (I know some places cycle folks between teams like crazy - that makes this hard).
Researchers discover Log4j-like flaw in H2 database console
Though it seems somewhat odd that a "key M1 engineer" would be from Intel rather than what's considered major Apple purchases in the design space (PA Semi and Intrisity, possibly Passif and the parts of Dialog purchased as well).
Eh more like you often apply fertilizer after harvest and thus buy it. There was also a coincident price increase in fossil fuels.
This comment thread is about how the author doesn’t seem to realize that the motive of these services has changed in response to fewer and fewer users wanting a sync solution versus a backup solution.
Very impressive! You've got a bright future ahead of you. Just get rid of the cutesy "hints" on the login page (Press Alt-F4 to win, etc.) I know you're just trying to have some fun, but if you want people to actually start using this (and it seems like you do) they're not going to be happy if students end up closing their browsers in the middle of quizzes because they aren't in on the jokes.
Shouldn't the calculation of the 'value' of the average employee be the annual profit divided by the number of employees, not revenue?
Digital Security for Filmmakers
This a huge venerability in our supply chain. If we run out of DEF urea, trucking will grind to a halt. I hope engine makers like Cummins and Detroit have contingency plans where they could release a software patch for their engines that would temporarily bypass the DEF requirement. However, I doubt they have any contingency plan and this is actually a huge venerability that I guarantee our enemies know of.
That form also requires your SSN (or equivalent ITIN for non-citizens).

Using your passport doesn't obviate the requirement that they have your SSN or ITIN for the IRS.

The SSN card proves your eligibility to work, they still need to verify your ID separately (DL, voter card, etc.). They need both pieces. A passport counts as both.
Yes, good note! I highly appreciate anybody willing to experiment with Reshape to help make it production ready :)
You're partially right. Your apps need to support IPv6 because the internet connections can be IPv6 only. I believe T-Mobile is a big one does this. They do translation for their clients to the IPv4 internet, so they'll be hitting your IPv4 server through a translation layer. The client is still IPv6 only.
It is but obviously that costs money
Full does not check certificates, so a MITM can supply any untrusted certificate and intercept your traffic. Only Full (Strict) does trusted cert checking.
Doing well at work is not an indication that you don’t have ADHD.

Of course it is. Maybe if you changed "indication" to "guarantee" I would agree with you but as it is that sentence is objectively wrong.

And of course there are other factors. I've definitely had symptoms of ADHD my entire life but once again that doesn't mean it rises to the level of a diagnosable disorder.
Yeah its a very poor visualization. Its difficult to tell if it is showing the hottest wet bulb temperature of an area over the time period, or the most frequent, or what.
The Audio Analysis API also reports a tempo_confidence and there’s a 43.2% confidence on that Adele song.

I wonder to what extent these problems have to do with OOP being poorly defined vs poorly understood vs poorly implemented.
Unrelated to the post, but since this thread is likely to attract a bunch of Commodore enthusiasts, I'll mention here that a Commodore 64-DX/C-65 popped up on fleaBay a few days ago.

Unfortunately, it's in kinda rough shape, and the starting bid is $15,000. I don't think he'll get any bidders at that price.
> It took me about five minutes to convince myself that what the computer said was happening was actually happening

And if you were on a terminal far from the machine, you wouldn't even see or hear the computer busy at work.

I remember using a windowing terminal (all text windows) that could have multiple sessions over a single RS_232 using a custom shell on the computer.
This helps explain why Sonos might have taken this action:

"Sonos has claimed that it shared details of its technology with Google starting in 2013 when the two companies began working together. Initially, Google was not a competitor, but it started moving into Sonos’s space, first with a small device to stream music in 2015 and then with its Google Home speaker in 2016.

Sonos said Google was violating more than 100 of its patents and proposed a licensing deal to Google. The two companies were unable to reach an agreement."
I've actually only seen it used on the right, nearly always by friends or family who constantly read the news, always in a derogatory sense. Was it common on the left at some point?
I saw a brilliant guy recruited from Microsoft to Cisco in order to improve software development agility. Cisco's immune system neutralized and ejected him less than 2 years later. Same thing will happen to this poor dude, and Intel will continue as if nothing needs changing.

There's a reason companies rarely reach 100 years old: they commit suicide.

Apple was Intel's flagship customer for laptop PC chips. It doesn't seem surprising that Apple would hire someone from Intel's PC chipset design to lead their own effort to replace it.
The best thing about Xenix was the documentation, not the OS. I used that set for years after I stopped using Xenix.
The provision is anyone who wants to consent to a pact to communally benefit from a cooperative effort can do so. This takes many forms, it could be co-op (kind of like a farmer's co-op as often found in rural US at least where farmers all chip in to buy goods and then divide), charity, insurance, or really any consensual arrangement you can come up with. Or some people may prefer for-profit enterprise. Public should not have a monopoly.

That's fine. Twilio is not targeting your use case then.

A lot of HN has turned into - X company MUST build me Y feature so I can do Z. Actually, if you read the docs, they provide clear guidance not to do Z (for whatever their reasons are). They have the same issues with reputation that someone running a mail server sending mail to users across multiple networks and third party email systems might have.
Yes, I was specifically replying to you, not him, that there are guidelines to a degree about what is on and off topic. How often they are followed is a grey area.

Whether or not you're tired of hearing the trope is irrelevant to the guidelines.

Those people repeating the trope are probably tired of perceived violations of the guidelines.

Maybe those guidelines should be deleted since everyone is tired.

I remember when that article was trening on HN. I wonder how supported by data that article is, because if it is scientific it would be a wonderful quick and easy reply to people using autism and the spectrum for various arguments.

Higher resolution (of concepts) is better.
