Eh, our family freaking loves Netflix originals. And there are many from different countries. But I guess it's probably because we generally like to explore more than just look for something artificially hyped up through marketing.
At least two of those three went to Peacock (NBC's Netflix-like), though, right (maybe all three, I never followed Parks and Rec)? I imagine they'll be looking for a new home soon enough.
This kind of incompetence makes me seriously doubt that Google is doing anything to more substantially review apps for deeper security issues, either statically or at runtime.

The asymmetry of effort in this situation is profound: consider that you spend all your time and effort writing a, long, complex, thoughtful message by hand (the app), taking hundreds or thousands of hours, but then they respond with machine generated message that cost them 10ms of computer time.

The solution, I think, is obvious: Google needs a "zone defense" with the play store, a much larger (and expensive) staff, to do in-depth app reviews and be a stable, stateful relationship with the developer over time. This person would, in fact, become a 3rd party "expert" on a small set of apks and their contents, with a "feel" for what is changing over time, with the core mission of protecting users from malice, but working with devs, as a human being.
Powershell is not at all trash. Being object oriented makes it very easy to do on the fly inspection of your data and allows extremely powerful pipelining. If you want even more functionality, you can load in .NET libraries at runtime. Working with Powershell really feels like working with Python but using a different syntax.
So this theory could make sense.
Some practical advice: don't take it too hard on yourself. If someone says you're slow without backing this claim with data and/or comparisons, you're slow compared to what?
Taking into account the startup context, I'd be hardly surprised if they were just trying to make you overwork.

Eh 20-ish years ago the shit happening on Island and Archipelago would blow most people’s minds. Undocumented, conditional, non-displayed order types. Routine wash trading. Shear-but-don’t skin multi-venue arbitrage. The ECNs were the Wild West. Smoke-filled dark pools.

Island and Arca are NASDAQ and NYSE now.

But Ben, US equities have intrinsic value unlike this BTC garbage! Well unless they pay no dividend, have dual-class share structure, and IPO without a profitable quarter. What’s a share of SNAP entitle you to exactly? Ah right, you think someone will buy it for more.

Crypto will have it’s 2001-style GC cycle, the useful stuff will stick around until Goldman owns it and the SEC makes a show of regulating it, the tulip garbage will wash out leaving behind a bunch of rich guys who are really annoying because they never built anything, and we’ll go back to arguing about programming languages.

I don't know if the allegations in this antitrust are true or not. However, about a decade ago I wrote a paper (https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~sga001/papers/vex-sigcomm13.pdf) discussing all the ways in which ad exchanges could misbehave without such actions being detectable and some technical mechanisms to prevent violations. I recall some colleagues telling me that surely ad exchanges would never misbehave because deviations from honest behavior would affect companies' reputations, and ethical people within these companies would whistle-blow immediately.

I'm really curious to see where the government acquired their evidence (and what solid evidence do they have), and whether it ends up holding up in court.
Pardon my ignorance and/or naïveté, but are these real examples?
I feel like they represent a consensus of sorts as to the "great" or influential or somehow representative films.

I am looking forward to completing the list to restore choice (ha ha), but I can tell you there are "genres" (dislike that term) of films that I would not have otherwise even known to explore before.
It does, I think, and you make a good point; there's big players who bet on it going down, there's big players that bet on it going up. In a perfect world, their intents would cancel each other out.

loved getting into this stuff, still making my own os years later (dreamy project...). Want to say there's so many things wrong with small examples like this, despite the examples themselves being wonderful like this one.

For example, most don't include a partition table, which is needed if you use AHCI controller instead of IDE. (so depending on your hardware of vm/emu configuration it won't work at all)

I actually surprisingly enjoy their international content, Dark, Squid Game, Vikings, etc- but their American content does suck. It also comes off as too preachy/propaganda-ish. If I was actually the one paying for the account, I simply wouldn't subscribe.
I've done a small straw poll from a range of ages (20's to 70's). Only the older people (60's+) seem to have vaguely heard of it but none knew what it is or had any particular reaction to me mentioning it.

Note though that my sample size for older people is very small due to the lack of 50's+ in my immediate vicinity (one person in their 60's and one person in their 70's).
It's a bit fuzzy but I remember a chapter in the Count of Monte Cristo where the Count bankrupt an enemy by bribing a telegraph agent to pass a false geopolitical (Spain?) report to cause market crash of bonds of that country and push his enemy to sell low.
It sounds like you're thinking of zone transfers (the special AXFR query type). In that case the server's response may consist of more than one DNS message sent consecutively over a single TCP connection [1], so it's possible to transfer large zones. E.g. out of curiosity I just asked for the root zone with

dig . axfr @iad.xfr.dns.icann.org

and I received 24,448 records transferred over 83 DNS messages, according to the stats dig prints at the end.

I see this and think of all the millions of apps that the code controls. I don't know how many do fail validation, but it's clearly not a vast number, definitely under 1%.

Given that they're also clearly training a model for this, based on a large number of inputs and rules, then this is pretty good.

Their end goal is clearly to be able to remove humans from this process completely. Which is good - it's shitty work.

From my point of view as an app customer, this is fine. I don't see apps that fail validation, and there are too many (shitty) apps anyway - more validation is good.

From my point of view as an entrepreneur, I approve. Clearly they can live with a certain level of false negatives, and that makes sense from a business point of view as they save so much in the validation process.

From my point of view as a developer, however, it's a dumpster fire and I'm not going anywhere near it.

Most of Chicago has adapted against that problem: streets are now artificially cul-de-sac'd to cap them near arteries, so neighborhoods have explicitly designed traffic flows. It works reasonably well (I'm in Oak Park, not Chicago, but same deal). Obviously, you'd get less traffic in Glenview or whatever.

I do. Netflix always works for me and I don't think I've ever found a bug. HBO Max on the other hand routinely fails to stream with an error and has lots of UI bugs. Little things like if you're watching a show and go to the episode list there's no way to change seasons.

That said, it doesn't matter much because HBO's crappy app is the only way to watch their content so I put up with it.
Here's a full write up about it

https://kristoff.it/blog/zig-new-relationship-llvm/

Long story short, we're currently working on a self-hosted implementation of the compiler and what people are using now is the old C++ implementation. As soon as the new compiler is feature-complete enough, we'll start shipping it and we expect much better compilation speeds, which will be even greater speed for debug builds once the native (i.e., non-llvm) backends catch up as well.

Latest progress update on this work: https://twitter.com/andy_kelley/status/1481862781380874240?s...
I really hope Netflix proves everyone wrong. HBO and Disney+ may have a huge advantage but neither seems interested in the tech side. Disney+ may be OK now (it's been a while since I checked) but HBO Max seems to be extremely inconsistent when it comes to streaming quality. Even new, popular shows like Euphoria on HBO Max are only 1080p with a bitrate so low that the frequent, dimly lit scenes are a blocky mess. At the same time, AAA movies like Dune stream in nearly Bluray quality. Meanwhile even dumb reality shows on Netflix still stream with suburb quality.

IMO assuming Netflix doubles down on original content which seems to be the assumed direction, they have two strategies. Strategy one is to produce/distribute content that is developed outside the US where production is much cheaper and existing production companies have less of an advantage. Partnering with local, smaller production outfits is probably a good strategy.

Strategy two is to use their tech advantage to lower the cost of content production. I'm quite surprised that we haven't seen Netflix create a Holodeck-esque production method. The Mandalorian (Disney+/Holodeck) and The Witcher Season 1(Netflix) have somewhat similar production costs per episode at ~$15M and ~$10M respectively but The Mandalorian had significantly more and better CG then The Witcher so clearly the Holodeck method has a lot of benefits and cost savings.

That said Squid Game only had a total budget of ~$21M, although a lot lighter on CG, strategy one offers a more cost savings.
Initial idea and C++ implementation (using TLS with X.509 certificates and explicit UDP broadcasts) was done in 2007 by another person. Redesign of the protocol (to TLS with OpenPGP keys¹ and DNS Service Discovery²), and re-implementation in Python and C, I did in collaboration with that person. In addition to ongoing maintenance, the relatively recent switch from TLS with OpenPGP keys to TLS with Raw Public Keys³ was done by me.

The level of understanding required is something I would think that all system administrators worth their salt had at the time. I would think that the best way to acquire such knowledge is doing the Linux From Scratch⁴ exercise, even though I have not done it myself.

This is a terrible way to go through life. Just because someone is successful at X does not mean they are in any way knowledgeable in Y. Want to know about something, just read about it yourself or seek the opinion of someone that actually works in the field, don't blindly take the word of someone that is not even from the field in question.

Doge is a joke crypto currency, and I don't mean that as an insult I mean it was literally started as a joke by the developers to make fun of the crazy crypto speculation. Elon latched onto it as part of a joke and I think it just spiraled out of his control and he does not want to admit to being out of his league. He even alluded to this in his SNL skit.

Would you go to a world renown brain surgeon for advice on what is wrong with your car engine? Of course not but the brain surgeon is likely a very smart person surrounded by other very smart people. Car engines are just not their fields of expertise, much like cryptocurrencies are not Elon's. Elon is a meme lord, and goes to where the social media attention is. I am a huge fan of the guy but pretty much ignore everything he says outside of renewables and space because that's his wheel house. Don't get trapped in cults of personality.

Looks like the color is simply normalized so that one of the values is at maximum (255) and the others follow the shape of the spectrum. It's all very theoretical. If you're talking about what's physically possible, then you could just stop at "infinite temperature" instead of going into eye cones. Maybe if a body's temperature approaches infinity, you could get this color by standing at a sufficient distance, or wearing adequate sunglasses with uniform attenuation, or doing the correct safety squint like we do at the workshop.
Yeah they only review when you make a new release, so maybe these apps just haven't been updated in a while

Show HN: Virtual lightning talks on compilers, databases, emulators, etc.
I'm trying out a virtual monthly meetup for developers to talk about their experience hacking on hard software/hardware projects like compilers, databases, emulators, operating systems, etc.

It doesn't need to be about a production system. It could be about a toy you're working on. And you don't need to be an expert you just need to be hacking on some cool project and willing to share with others!

I'll give a talk on bootloader basics (I'm definitely not an expert, just been playing around). If I can get two more speakers for the first night next Thursday then it will be on.

Strings are complex entities, I am not sure if there is a perfect way to handle them.

In my case (I use my own framework) I use a lot of makeStringWith* functions that all allocate in the same global scratch buffer (one per thread) and I don't care at all about releasing the memory.

There is simply one function to clear reset all scratch buffers, it has to be called explicitely by the user, most of the time once per frame (I create video games) but it can also be when the current job is done or never.

From my perspective it is very efficient and reliable, never had to solve a bug related to this mechanism.

> and were asked to compare to the US dollar.

The original blog article was about the BTC/USD market being manipulated; hence the title "Bitcoin price", in which "price" assumes you are converting one currency to another (in this case USD/BTC).

The person that replied to me asked "so what, every coin is being manipulated". If anything the replier was changing the topic. The assertion that the coin itself is being manipulated is irrelevant and a red herring. In the context of the US stock exchange the SEC defines manipulation as "transactions which create an artificial price or maintain an artificial price for a tradable security". This concept isn't even a concept when it comes to the value of the medium of exchange for a currency, hence why I posited "why is this even relevant"?
This is some interesting analysis, but all of the causal language is unsupported -- and I think mostly inverted from the reality. Here is an equally supported description:

- Retail and futures traders create instability by placing leveraged trades and stop orders that amplify swings.

- Market makers are aware of instability and design their bots to turn off so that they don't end up on the wrong side of a liquidity cascade.

- People with large orders often cancel them in order to improve their orders when chasing the price. (This happens in non crypto markets too, but some of those markets have incentives and regulation to force market makers to provide stabilizing liquidity.)

The most explicit manipulation is the news outlets designed to amplify positive news. But even that can be explained by desire for clicks as much as short term market shifts.

Yeah, although if you're older and don't rewatch a lot of content the backlog doesn't really help a lot--especially if their older movie catalog is thin.
> Wild card is sport, that can be attractive and sticky if someone merges that in.

Amazon Prime Germany has been showing me adverts, that they have soccer/football games (not sure what league or if there is an extra cost associated as I don’t watch sports), so they are at least in some regions already there.
Apple Arcade games can’t have Ads or IAPs.
I wonder if the money they'd earn would be worth the cost of helping their competitors?
I too notice the drastic decline in content quality.

I normally watch one episode per day of...something. Before, this relatively low usage meant I got to watch pretty much only excellent shows and could barely keep up with them.

Now, even with this low-ish usage I'm struggling to find the next show to watch. I already have to dig deep below my standards. I can't imagine what garbage heavy users are watching.

There's this general trend towards pulp content. No imagination, proven formulas, terrible writing, shallow, woke and "safe".
Netflix has by far the easiest to use download feature (for Amazon Fire). As long as that's the case I'll be a subscriber so my daughter has something to watch when flying.
In previous threads I’ve asked about the same thing and some parents have very strong opinions about what’s available on YouTube.

I remember one thread in particular where someone told me that you could find some very strange stuff just by typing a period in the search box (autocomplete does the rest, NSFW if that’s not obvious), and that school age Kids tend to figure this out or share this “trick” amongst themselves. So to each their own, but I’m not a parent yet so I abstain from having any strong opinions for the moment.
How would you realistically solve this problem? Part of what makes these platforms so attractive to the end user is in fact app curation. Strict control over APIs and power usage, all sorts of minimum standards and mandatory integrations are contributing enormous value to these ecosystems.
You started off saying

> The feature was implemented in 2017 the only vendors that are using it are lenovo and dell. With lenovo being the only one using it on lower tier cpus than epyc.

All of the ODMs use PSB in some way (the PSP won't start without it); it's only Lenovo and Dell that use PSB to tie CPUs to certain boards.
Note that this was a settlement and the case never went to trial.

However, it sounds like VPN Unlimited advertised using their service to access torrent trackers, probably making themselves vulnerable to the same arguments as in MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd.
I've never been that happy with the output from any of the different graphviz engines. I'd like to see a UI graph editing tool which can import and export .dot format, but also allows manually moving nodes (which I guess wouldn't get exported unless arbitrary metadata is supported), and ofc exports to svg. Maybe there's already something similar I haven't stumbled across yet?

I guess my use case is mainly swimlanes and places where nodes don't have to have the same rank.
RP2040/Pi Pico platform is confusingly a microcontroller platform, like Arduino, not a small Linux PC kind of system.

It can run anything of complexity of PC BIOS or CP/M or Early MS-DOS, but can’t boot Linux Kernel at all.

What this means is it probably solves Pro Micro price hikes due to widespread use in DIY keyboards. I’d been looking for an alternative to it and been wondering if it make sense to make a batch of CH55xduino board for a while.
I think that's a major challenge here and it will ultimately drive up the costs for everyone.

Subscribe for 6 months = 50% annual discount

Subscribe for 4 months = 67% annual discount

Subscribe for 2 months = 83% annual discount

etc. And that looks great!

But producing the content costs the same regardless. So as more people do this, a vicious cycle will set in. Prices must increase to cover production costs with shorter subscription periods. Rising prices cause more people to shift to cycling through shorter subscriptions. Which further drives prices higher.

Basically you end up with the a la carte cable nightmare where you pay the same amount to for access to only one channel at a time. The only real way to stop this is to switch to longer term discounts and early termination fees or bundles.
Sure, but that's a completely different scenario than the one the OP/TFA is talking about. We're talking about disclosing privileged information or access tokens that a single developer on their own shouldn't be able to handle without code review, like being able to use your CI system to access production accounts. Software libraries don't fall under this category, since the developer would already need to have accessed them to write the code in the first place!
