It's related to what you can buy versus build. When you use a WebSocket, there may not be a great solution that fits your need. If you use just HTTP, then there is a wealth of options available to you.

Fundamentally, there is nothing special about a WebSocket over a socket rather than a special handshake, some framing, and the layering within an existing HTTP server. The problem is that the market of developers is vastly different. If you are a systems person, then chances are good you know sockets decently. If you are a typical web-dev, then the chances are not so great and its easy to make a mess that is then exposed to the world.

I've mentored teams, and the key challenge isn't technical but education on all the gotchas.
I’m younger than you and as a teen with no money, I used to listen free music on Jamendo. There were a lot of crap on it but also a good number of very authentic, very nice albums. They were hard to found but it was so good once you discovered some new thing like. It was like the music was made for me. Waiting for me to discover it and listening it in loop.

Spotify is full of music I like. But it’s probably because it’s full of music that was intentionally made to be liked by most humans.

It’s like industrial food. Sure I like it and I could probably eat that everyday (health issues aside). But it’s boring.

All these feels like being a spoiled kid.

I sometimes wonder if I wouldn’t be more happy just going back to piracy. « Owning » those movies, that music library on this hard drive.

I don’t really miss the physical mediums (ok, a little) but what I miss is owning the stuff. Even if it’s files.

I am absurdly irritated when things just disappear on Netflix or when Season $x it’s not available there whereas I’m paying every month to access those things. It really feels like the industry disrespects me.

At this point, I think the only reason why I’m still paying is that I’m sharing my account with other people.
That’s a glib non-answer. How many housing units can squeeze onto a city block is zoned for multi family units? Now how many cars can park on the street in front of those apartments?

I expect my house’s lot could hold a 6 unit building. I have exactly 2 parking spots in front of my house. It would be 3 if I had no driveway. So at best residents could get 50% of their parking needs met with street parking if my house were converted to a multi family dwelling. This holds for many of the apartments and townhomes around me. Lots of my neighbors have 1 or even 0 spots for cars in front of their houses.

Looking at a map of Chicago, I would roughly guesstimate that streets are maybe 15% of the land area in gridded areas. Assume that half of that is “parkable” space. I don’t buy that this is sufficient space for all the cars to park. And if I’m wrong, I fail to see why developers are unable to set aside similar amounts of space off-street for their residents to park.
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it. I thought I was too over the top with the large catapult as a launch system and HAM radio for telephony, but I guess people oversimplify/handwave worse details
You don't need the presidency for that. You just need to be the majority party in congress because the majority party controls the committees and agenda. Congressional midterm elections are this year.
Money serves a specific purpose, it's an exchange medium. BTC is a digital asset, as an exchange medium _has already failed_.

Additionally, having the FED controlling rates is a democratic, reasoned approach. BTC is not handled by a known, government controlled authority. I know that many BTC proponents don't like governments for $reasons but BTC _liberal_ alternative is more akin to a jungle than a civilised society :-)
I think he is implying it may be used on political enemies or just generally for discretionary prosecution that disproportionately targets those who fall out of favor with the powerful.
Unfortunately a lot of the discussion online regarding Roman concrete veers uncomfortably into a rather, shall we say, "supremacist" angle. For a level discussion about Roman concrete, I found this to a nice place to start.

No it probably won't end. No you are not a dinosaur, but development has changed. Decades ago you could build an app from the ground up. This gave you a bunch of different layers to compose, and probably made the app overall simpler. Now most developers are given a box to create their feature in whether it's a Spring Bean, a React Component, or a serverless function, with an entire application stack under it. You could have each developer or team manager their own stack, and thus get microservices. But now you have just pushed your complexity from a single monolithic app to the space between all the individual apps.

At the end of the day, naked tech has no value. It's only the end-user features that make money. The industry has optimized for this, and that is what gives rise to all these seemingly insane practices. They aren't great from a pure tech perspective, but they help speed up feature development.

Paradoxically, the community still values naked tech much higher than end-user features. That is why the community heroes are those who write kernels and frameworks. So you have a million developers all trying to "make it big" with their bespoke framework. 99% of these go no where, but even that 1% that gain some traction just add to the constant churn of `inventing "revolutionary new ways" of doing the exact same thing.`
If you are using a VM, you can never use your GPU unless you have a very expensive one or a spare GPU to passthrough.

ROCm has a direct replacement backend that can even take CUDA code (it's designed to be incredibly similar). It's called HIP. It's just that no one wants to support it. That is actually how TensorFlow on AMD works (mostly), and you can compile the latest stable release that way.
I'd have more sympathy for Google if they hadn't spent the last 20 years creating and killing messaging apps: Google Talk, Plus, Buzz, Wave, Hangouts, Allo, ... And, instead of fixing it, the VP in charge is blaming 12 year old "bullies".

iMessage is really good because Apple focused on making a great product.

I wonder: is the expectation that young people work at a more frenetic pace part of the reason anxiety and depression trend up from adolescence until mid-adulthood?[1] If so, maybe we should rethink the idea that young people should be working at a faster speed.

[1] "A slight trend for an increase in the severity of both anxiety and depression from adolescence to middle adulthood, and then a slight decline in older adulthood was found."

I don't really disagree with you assessments but to answer your question the article I read says that 50% of the people in the hospital are unvaccinated. I am not saying this justifies it or not just they are saying that these individuals are putting undo stress on the system and should pay for it.
The FBI has a long history of going after leftist groups. In recent memory: https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/testimony/the-threat-...

This sounds like it's creating a central function instead of leaving it to regional JTTFs.
My point is that they're macro pads where you can assign keycodes or keycode combinations to specific keys. The threeboard is itself capable of determining which keycodes to send and is not limited by what it's been programmed to do. So it's fully-functional in the sense that you can use it to type anything, it'd just take a really long time and make you very unhappy!
This article seems to give RGB a bad rap but I think it makes the most sense for gradients. I wouldn't want a yellow to blue gradient to cycle through a (partial) rainbow of colors. But I also wouldn't really ever choose to make a pure yellow to pure blue gradient. Most pleasing gradients you see in the wild use colors that are more similar to begin with, so it's a bit of a strawman. It's really just about carefully choosing your start and end (and optionally intermediate) colors.
It’s a self sustaining bureaucracy that is disconnected from any particular administration. Administrations will, of course, set a particular tone.

That's a great point, and I've wanted to read SLaS before, I guess this settles it.

I think that might explain why people think huts are interesting and HVACs are boring. There's technology that exists at the human scale, like Tupaia's map or saying things are "a 3 day's walk away", and technology that exists far beyond the human scale, like a Cartesian map of a continent or saying things are "15 miles away".

"Babbitt was part of the crowd that gained access to a hallway outside the Speaker’s Lobby, which leads to the House chamber. She was shot once by an officer as she tried to climb through the broken glass window of a door to the lobby, which had been barricaded from the inside with furniture."

That seems to be an adequate contradiction to your comment.
Yes, I think the hacker house idea and adult roommate living situations more generally are very common in the Bay Area due to housing shortage and high costs. It's the only place I've ever lived where it would not be surprising to find adult professionals making $100k+ living with roommates. These folks could get their own place if they really wanted, but since most people are young and unattached when they come to the Bay Area it makes sense to save money by splitting housing with others. Or, they recognize that by having roommates they can get access to trendier or more convenient areas that would otherwise be unaffordable for them. These observations are pre-pandemic, of course, as I left the Bay Area in 2018. Things could be a lot different now.

For lower wage people, like the janitors, cooks, gig economy people, etc needed to serve tech elites, there's really no option except to crowd in with other people. Even if you move to the limits of a practical commute, it's still very very expensive for those not pulling engineering salaries.
I remember being baffled by the introduction of duo and allo when they already had both messaging and video solutions in other apps.

Network effects are big and they were intentionally reducing theirs! Shockingly it hasn't gone well since then.
Ask HN: How do you keep growing as an ML Engineer?
I am currently an ML engineer at a large fintech, working on information extraction systems. Off late, most of my work has been so atypical that I barely feel like I am an ML engineer.

I read blogs on the major engineering blogs(think GoogleAI, Uber Engineering and the likes) and I can't help but think that the kind of work I am doing is so far behind the curve, I'll never be able to catch up. How do you folks keep up and learn from what the best are doing?

It's not that I can't follow along, but there comes a time when you can't relate to what everyone else is doing. For eg, feature stores are all the rage right now, but I can't for the life of me imagine why/how since my use case doesn't really demand it. This has started to affect my ability to interview at the best places, and is slowing me down.

What strategies do you all use to keep up and stay informed?
It's hard to find much substantial or practical difference between a serf and a slave, but to add some nuance a serf definitely had some fairly substantial rights in England, at least theoretically that a slave in the modern sense does not.

And it might be a subtle distinction in practice, but a serf's labor was what was owned by their lord, not their persons.
They tried to give Chipman a top-level position. This indicates the target of this new regime is after.
> isnt it established fact the fbi had agents actively provoking the mob?

No.

Interestingly we can agree on this. I see the foot soldiers being punished but the ring leader is still acting like he's rich and untouchable.
It's fitting that Google seized on this article that completely ignores that some kids don't have a smartphone at all, the article's author didn't even ask the interviewees about kids without phones being ostracized . This was probably placed by Google's PR dept.

Kids without phones may even, gasp, be bullied over it. Wouldn't that mean that Google, Apple and all handset vendors benefit from fear of bullying over not having a phone at all?
Simavr was fantastic to work with, it's a very impressive project!
>though we did almost have an internal coup.

no, we didn't. there's no plausible way the people there would have seized power.
Anti-trust is just so 19th century. We need something far more simple, proactive, and predictable.

Citizen's dividend paid with windfall taxes.

Like how Canada's new carbon tax works.

Call it "universal basic income" if you want to be edgy.

Let's say the first 30% goes to shareholders. Anything over 30% is a windfall profit.

If corporations can't figure out how to increase spending to keep margins below 30%, too bad. Use it or lose it.

I humbly suggest increasing wages and R&D.

This also allows us to simplify the tax code. No more loop holes, breaks, carve outs, whatever. If you can figure how to spend your revenue, you get to keep it.
You can say a lot of things about the Jan 6 rioters. But you can't call them terrorists. They didn't go after civilians. They went straight at the government.
Not Google, all search engine.
And let's not forget that others too lock their devices so you can't install a different browser (Apple too), you should be able to read Wikpedia even if your device is 10 years old,

You're right. thanks for the feedback, we'll add this soon!
Exactly this is a UI dark pattern that forces consumers into a specific option, not an economic utopia of helping the working class via social norms

The fact this is turned into a paper like this shows the disconnect between reality and economics research.

To compare and contrast, I could see a skilled growth product design expert looking at this data and say, despite an existing cultural norms of 15% tipping, through our UX design we have altered behavior away from the norm by making lower tip options difficult and time consuming to choose.
To be honest I didn't realise it was based around RCS (or really what RCS was!)

I thought Google had their own thing, but I think I was getting confused between Messages by Google and Hangouts (or one of their other apps).

Can you do a hangouts chat within messages by google? (The whole Android messaging ecosystem is so confusing to me!)
I never got on the semantic web train, but a translation layer does allow you to make underlying schema changes.

I poked around the ANSIWAVE BBS and it looks fun!
I use Firefox / Safari built-in password management. I do not know how secure they are but no issues in 10+ years and I certainly have access to all passwords in my keychain/account. Not locked behind some corporate service. They are saved locally.

Both easily generate long random passwords, etc.

For me this is a solved problem (until Firefox's service is hacked, of course) to the point that my real pain point is remembering the random strings I use for "security question" answers. For that I use a KeepPass database. But I wish FF/Safari would see the need and add security questions fields to their management.

No way am I giving real information for those. Why yes my mother's maiden name is cd559b1085b94b2dad32bb9e458e2422 so sorry to hear it was leaked, SONY.

> domestic terror? go watch the fucking videos. those people actually got inside and just milled around. there was no plot, no mission.

Depends which videos you decide to watch. After the capitol was breached the people who just walked in were pretty tame (these people are also only being charged with very minor crimes and serving around 60 days in jail, for example: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/11/04/capi...).

At the beginning of the riots the people actually storming barriers and assaulting police officers were definitely not just "milling around".

> isnt it established fact the fbi had agents actively provoking the mob? known persons on video involved, not being prosecuted?

no? sources?

> id hate for the the congresspeople to be beholden to the people they work - especially the ones that diaagree with them.

So your argument is that the best way to keep congresspeople (sic) accountable is to trespass, disrupt standard government procedures, and assault police officers?
> Most computers sold are tablets and laptops without any decent GPU.

Sure, but we're talking about desktop computers here.
In that case how about the Helium-cooled reactors that were just hooked to the grid in China 3 weeks ago?

Spot on.

iMessage took over because iPhone users could no longer send group SMS. Apple killed group SMS. Google never did this. Only tried to change Sms and enhance it.
Among the 30-odd technologies that make up the Semantic Web[1] (it never died, it's just a collection of tech, lots of organizations use it daily) are graph databases[2]. Graph databases are necessary to implement semantic web databases.

SQLite is not a graph database. Even if you used SQLite to implement a graph database, it would not solve any significant problems of the semantic web, such as access to data, taxonomies, ontologies, lexicons, tagging, user interfaces to semantic data management, etc.

It's a really odd suggestion that you would just copy around a database or leave it on the internet for people to copy from. For the BBS mentioned here, that might actually be illegal, as it might contain PII, and on other sites possibly PHI. Many countries now have laws that require user data to remain in-country. Besides the challenges of just organizing data semantically, there still needs to be work done on data security controls to prevent leaking sensitive information.

The funny thing is, that isn't even hard to do with the semantic web. You classify the data that needs protecting and build functions and queries to match. You can tie that data to a unique ID so that people can "own" their data wherever it goes, and sign it with a user's digital certificate which can also expire.

But all of that (afaik) doesn't exist yet. Everyone is more concerned with blockchains and SQL, either because the fancy new tech is sexier, or the old boring tech doesn't require any work to implement. The Semantic Web never caught on because it's really fucking hard to get right. No companies are investing in making it easier. Maybe in 20 years somebody will get bored enough over a holiday to make a simple website creation tool that implicitly creates semantic web sites that are easy to reason about. It'll probably be a WordPress plugin.

This doesn't seem to be a very well-supported theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football#Etymology

> It is widely assumed that the word "football" (or the phrase "foot ball") refers to the action of the foot kicking a ball. There is an alternative explanation, which is that football originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot. There is no conclusive evidence for either explanation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_(word)

> In some cases, the word has been applied to games which involved carrying a ball and specifically banned kicking. For example, the English writer William Hone, writing in 1825 or 1826, quotes the social commentator Sir Frederick Morton Eden, regarding a game – which Hone refers to as "Foot-Ball" – played in the parish of Scone, Perthshire [in which kicking the ball was prohibited]

> Conversely, in 1363, King Edward III of England issued a proclamation banning "...handball, football, or hockey; coursing and cock-fighting, or other such idle games", suggesting that "football" was in fact being differentiated from games that involved other parts of the body.

It seems unlikely that King Edward III meant to ban games that involved walking on your hands, or perhaps brachiating.
Administrations change and you better be ok with future executives inheriting powers that you create.

One person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, especially domestically. Nelson Mandela is a fine example of one of the greatest humans in history who was defined by the South African government as a domestic terrorist during apartheid.
Then you can also call him Austrian. It was his province, and he was declared emperor there.
Given how the FBI (and our other intelligence agencies) have repeatedly performed covert actions like besmirching MLK and running influence campaigns, I'm not so sure the word "extraordinary" applies.

I'm a cynic on this, to be sure. Read this post with that in mind. I take no stance on the GP's assertion. I just wanted to chime in about how untrustworthy I now am.
This seems wrong. Your public keys are.. public, whereas the password is secret. So you can keep those public keys on a PostIt note, on your home page, a text file pinned to your desktop, send them by email, whatever.

Now I understand if your password everywhere is just pass1234 that's easier but, trouble is that means you don't have any actual security. People whose password isn't obvious are clearly better off with keys.

That was not what I was suggesting. Copying my edit from above:

I'm specifically talking about these unencrypted parts:

1. The number of "Skyking do not answer"s indicates the severity of the message.

2. The fact that it is known that messages to Skyking are for a nuclear force.

I wouldn't want an adversary to know when or with what severity I am commanding my nuclear force. It leaks significant information that an adversary can use, for instance, to judge your response to some action the adversary took.
I mean yes, but Signal needs to grow up and decide if it's going to find a way to play ball with business, or stick to it's ideological purity and weird cryptocurrency experiments (I use Signal solely for all my messaging now).
