Free speech by our definition in the US is a sacred and mostly irreducible "holy" thing, as being the very first amendment of the constitution. There is no true democracy without free speech. Free speech is a fundamental atom of a healthy and fair democracy. There is almost never a case where restriction of speech isn't abused to give one individual or group political advantage over another.
You'll have to ask the advertisers what they think on that.

Call it whatever you want, or use whatever euphemism. But at the end of the day, whatever word you use, the advertisers likely don't want to be associated with it.
I appreciate the effort, but there's something that rubs me the wrong way about the state of this "force the world to always encrypt and offer no alternative", the same beef I have with Gemini.

"Take perfectly good protocol" -> "Wrap encryption around it" -> "Only offer encrypted version even though the plaintext version is right there" -> "Use third-party tool and extra infrastructure to unwrap perfectly good protocol before it can be used".
I support things I support and I oppose things I oppose. None of it is done blindly to support the ruling class.
And so are hairy arms on men.

Do you have a point?
Actually, free speech is an end goal. It is a human right. As such only grave reasons are valid to infringe upon it.
Please keep fighting. The automatic association here on memory safe language with Rust annoys me as well, just as the one about mixing languages on a VM and WebAssembly. Both features are available since decades on C# and the CLR, and Java and the JVM to name a few.
My setup is almost exactly that, and has been going strong for 12 years now (Thank god for the old Thinkpads). The only reason I am pondering to replace the machine is getting the stinkeye from airport security when you put a "laptop" that looks "unusual" through their scanner.
The Global Editor-in-chief of Business Insider posted a tweet about a new pay transparency series they're preparing and after being asked about his own salary from another Insider employee everything goes downhill :-)

They mention anonymous submissions but they also require "...name, age, occupation, and a description of your salary journey...". The comments clearly indicate what is happening with salary transparency and pay inequalities.
People measure prosperity by employment, not the work they do, which is how we get backwards economics where it is better to destroy the planet.
Free speech is a tool that serves a purpose. The purpose is a stable society. To have a stable society requires censorship. Very clever lmao.

Not to discourage you, but just so you are aware of what you’re getting into, Amazon is notoriously known for their Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Every review cycle, you are ranked against your peers, and managers have to “PIP” a percentage of the team. Usually it’s the bottom 10%, though I’ve been hearing rumors that now it’s bottom 15%. Because of this quota, managers are forced to “fire” engineers even if they have a super star team, or unless they hire to fire, which is unfortunate but common thing at Amazon.
Amazon is a great company and just like any other company, YMMV, but I, along with several of my friends, had the most stressful, worst time of our lives while working at Amazon. Working 10-12 hour days and weekends was very common. YMMV, so negotiate wisely!

Facebook's cryptocurrency venture to wind down and sell tech assets
This HN title would really benefit from being a little more specific: "N.W. Demonetized on YouTube for Display of Inanimate Objects That Resemble Human Nudity".
It's neither an engineering consideration nor a matter of pride. It's a way to make citizens' devices easier to control.

India is among the most censorious countries, and the current regime is openly nationalistic and also moving toward authoritarianism. Having digital control of money and then citizens' smartphones makes it much, much easier to control the country.
The point here, is what the advertisers want to spend their money on.

Use whatever euphemism or descriptive word you want. The point here, is that advertisers do not want to be associated with whatever it is you want you call it.
I like what you did there.
> I don't think it is controversial to state that it could be perceived as tasteless

"Controversial" is doing a lot of work here. Much of what is considered acceptable is only in retrospect. Much fine art was considered "controversial" in its tim.
>Not sure how it's an insult.

Its an insult for a very good reason: Con men are dangerous. In the same way actual hackers see computers as targets, they see people as targets, not as human beings. They usually end up with some degree of psychopathy.
So, the burden lies with our ancestors who turned teosinte into corn?
> From what I understand it is as often a problem with translation as it a clear political standpoint.

In principle, yes, and I do think this is an underappreciated issue which, if understood better, could have avoided several needless heated arguments in general.

However... Where does your understanding come from? It runs contrary to my experience from living in the region.

IME, "Mainland China" is one of the least loaded and ambiguous terms, and tend to refer to "the literal mainland of the PRC" (that is, sans Macau and Hong Kong, and definitely Taiwan).

> When you say "I am from mainland China", there is a good chance that you do see Taiwan as a 'rogue province' and may support its 'inevitable' reunification by any means, including force. That latter sense is the one that is highly political and irks many people.

While technically, yes, but it could equally (and probably more often in practice?) be used by people who recognize the independence of Taiwan and do not want to force a "reunification".

"China" (and even more so "Chinese") is more open for being problematic as it can imply the citizens, ethnicity, cultural heritage, the CCP, the PRC nation-state as such, etc... Being more specific removes room for misinterpretation, willful or not.

This is my perspective from living in the region for a couple of years. Though I wouldn't say I've knowingly interacted with more than a small handful of "pro-unifiers".
Genuine question, why not? Why is paternalism bad, because it's an offensive idea to a 21st century audience? It's a funny aspect of the whole free expression thing that the only thing you cannot question, because it immediately evokes this kind of response, is the system itself. Isn't that supposed to be the point?

I didn't make a war cry at all, I think fanatic questioning of authority is just the dogma of our time, in every domain, not just speech. And that's very new. We have India and China, thousands of years old civilizations still kicking without any absolutist notion of free speech, but I must accept the idea that any person can broadcast to a football stadium full of people, an experiment of the last two decades or otherwise I'm a despot?
I think you've got something mixed up here, it's not that more effort is required by either party, it's just NOT to block port 80, and NOT write explicit redirect rules, and poof, stuff works.
As far as I know YouTube has video "for kids", meaning video especially and solely made for kids, kids shows, etc. The "not for kids" is literally everything else. There's no real "family friendly" category, all the "not for kids" videos are still supposed to not be NSFW.
Be careful, IP is a hodgepodge of things, like copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets.

To pick one: trade secrets are not a monopoly. If you figure out the secret ingredient in Coca Cola (by legal means), you are free to use that knowledge and even publish it.

Similarly, I have my reservations about whether patents are a good idea; but I don't mind trademarks nearly as much.
Been there, done that!

Yes and no.

There's a tendency in common distributions to pick complex base components to support seldomly used features at the expense of turning K8s from understandable to magic.

I can tell you the main modes of operation and how everything fits together with flannel. Ask me to compare Canal to Calico or explain Cilium and I have no idea anymore. These systems also don't explain themselves well either. I have to dig into the code and docs pretty deeply to see it's BGP and eBPF, two technologies I wouldn't expect your average network-literate admin to know.

And don't even get me started on Istio.
But who cares?

We don’t have puritans or religious nutjobs doing it any more… now it’s Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

A naked woman is only as big is a deal as you make her, just label content accurately and as long as nobody is getting hurt, let it be.
> still not really something a junior dev or admin knows

I don't think junior devs should deal with k8s but of course, it depends on how your teams are structured.

Some people think juniors should get involved in everything to make them able to choose better what they want to specialize on and I agree partially.

It's just that, before you touch k8s, you better are already involved in everything, and have good communication with bigger stakeholders.
The nice thing with this particular website at theverge.com is that it is not scrollytelling, as it does not mess around with scrolling. That is: Nothing is moving while you scroll. Images got faded in when scrolled to (looking like good old lazy loaded images, but with intention). Maybe we could agree to call this layout a very gentle form of scrollytelling. As somebody who does not like scrollytelling so much, I really like the beautiful layout of this article.

> All backends running as threads in a single process (not wanted)

> This eliminates the process protection we get from the current setup. Thread creation is usually the same overhead as process creation on modern systems, so it seems unwise to use a pure threaded model, and MySQL and DB2 have demonstrated that threads introduce as many issues as they solve. Threading specific operations such as I/O, seq scans, and connection management has been discussed and will probably be implemented to enable specific performance features.

In Italy, 80%+.

Eating is the main source of social aggregation in the small group. It's the phisiological nature of the gesture, the biological need to eat, that brings everybody to the same table where the resource is.

Also cooking is a ritual, that prepares you to the meal with smells, sight, hunger. It also makes you relax. Try that, if you don't actually cook yourself your meals.
> she is constantly pushing the boundaries of taste and the YouTube TOS to gain subscribers.

Yeah, she’s definitely pushing the boundaries… but I’m not convinced that she does it to gain subscribers.

I recall speaking with her in what I believe was her first “public” appearance on the Internet, on Reddit, several years ago. She put up with a lot of sexist crap[1], and disappeared for a while shortly thereafter.

I think her reasons for her body modifications and the somewhat sexual tone of her projects are inherent to her personality; I think she’d be doing exactly the same stuff if she wasn’t getting paid for it.

1: … and bear in mind this is coming from someone who has a generally low tolerance for “wokeness”. The things people said to her were really bad.
Kubernetes isn't IPv4-only. It makes very few assumptions about the network, and can easily be configured to use IPv6 (either directly or in an overlay).

> She pretends to be some women's rights activist when she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation.

You are over-reading this. I would chalk it up to "Chinese market is different from the US. Shrug."

When I was looking for Cantonese lessons for my work many moons ago, the tutors made a point of emphasizing their modeling credentials (both men and women).

HUHWUT?

It was a very strange experience for me having come from the US where "sexual-type discussions are considered unprofessional". I simply shrugged it off, tried a couple tutors until one clicked, never talked about their "modeling career", and got on with butchering Cantonese horribly. :)

And yet, those people do not get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, believe their work to be at the height of economic efficiency, or think themselves generally more intelligent than the average person.

Software engineering is not a craft. It is a discipline. If society is paying people these exorbitant sums to be the equivalent of digital Etsy moms, we're getting a raw deal.
For me the anarchist in 'the anarchist cookbook' and newsletters that were spread via BBS and early internet capture the hacker (as in 'hacker news') spirit quite spot on. Haven't we come full circle with social engineering being one of the main digital crimes? A good pentester has good social engineering skills. I expect a 'hacker' not to have too much in common with a 'con man', but a 'con man' with technical skills or interests seems to fit with 'hacker'? It's all loose categorization based on stereotypes anyways.

FWIW a user can add this syntax himself to a language if he needs to.

A hypothetical `curly-infix` language could be used like this:

#lang curly-infix racket
(define (fact n) (if (= n 0) 1 {n * fact(n-1)}))

The reader for `curly-infix` can use a read-table to alter how
`{<infix-expression>}` is read. The result can the be passed
to the language after the `#lang curly-infix` which in the
example is just `racket`, but could be something else.

Hmmm. Maybe I should make a `curly-infix` wrapping `infix` from my `infix` package.
I don't personally follow the stuff she does but I still support her work and choices she makes.

What I'm really concerned about is her safety operating out of China. Just in the last couple of years, we've seen several relatively high profile women either go silent or even disappear without warning in China.

She could easily get caught up in some party member's politics net for doing or saying "the wrong thing".

If she gets nabbed tomorrow, there will be a 1-week public uproar in the West then crickets after that. That will be accompanied by criticism that "she deserves it" and "omg Becky just look at her" kind of sexist comments.
Wow she was beautiful, no wonder she was good at social engineering.

> For some hackers it leads to respect and eventually government / private jobs. This is obviously not true for non-technical criminals.

Errrr, should we tell you about Blackwater, Thalès, BAE Systems, Bolloré, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Alexandre Benalla, Serge Dassault, NSA? They are just some examples of very famous people/corporations engaging in high-level criminal activities ranging from basic corruption to actual slavery to wide-scale murder.

We live under capitalism, a system which glorifies criminal activity as the path to success and social recognition. Sometimes, this criminal activity is legal and you can't believe how that's even possible, but many times it's illegal but when people/organizations become too influential they are far above the law.

Don't even get me started on law enforcement engaging in criminal activity such as organizing drugs trade like in USA's crack epidemics or with France's chief anti-drug cop leading the biggest smuggling ring for cocaine/hashish for years. One could even say in some circles, being ready to defy the law is a sign you're part of this circle. For example, in France at least, murderous cops are more likely to get promotions than to get kicked out of police, because once they took part in murder and held their mouth shut through the shitstorm without compromising colleagues/higher-ups, they have successfully demonstrated their loyalty to the establishment.

Of course, you're free to not research scandals involving the people/organizations i mentioned, take the blue pill and go back to dreaming about elections and free market and how fair our society is.
iPhone SE 1st Gen here ^^

Handy in sense of being small enough for a pocket, I can keep it with me during sport and don't feel the need for a Smartwatch. WiFi, Bluetooth, Jack, Accelerometer and GPS. The new iPhones use the same case again, their just bigger, with breakable glas on the back and more expensive. I will not buy a new one - their degraded in all terms.
Of course buying and swapping a part is something a teenager can do easily. I'm talking about making the parts myself, with consumer-level tools, because unless something like this gets an absolutely gigantic following or backing there's zero chance there'll be spare parts easily available in 10+ years, never mind 50.
> It's weird how a forum full of technologists, free software believers and millionaire entrepreneurs have decided that browser technology is so hard and complex that it would literally be more feasible to rebuild the entire web

Have you built a web browser? I have. It quickly became useless as the web moved on. I've also been involved in other web browser projects (including a small webkit based browser as well as Firefox).

My experience is that the web is 1) broken beyond repair 2) building a new browser is virtually impossible 3) for all the effort, building a good browser [such as one that pleases Gemini users] is literally impossible because the web standards themselves require you to implement hostile functionality without which your browser is broken and not actually a web browser, and with which you lose control and enable all kinds of malicious and user-hostile behavior.

Ostensibly open standards and open source technology does not help you when said technology enables the other end to run a bunch of code on your client, and decline service because it doesn't approve of your client.

Building a gemini client is actually very easy.

Incredible, thank you for the live example of this mindset.

This is the epitome of survivorship bias. The Moderna vaccine could have just as well made a lot of people very very sick. There are countless examples of problematic medicines and vaccines which didn't get the scrutiny the COVID vaccines got (and continue to get) simply because not enough people were relevant for the studies and statistics are subsequently weaker.

We should all appreciate it went through the regulatory process (accelerated) to confirm it does not before injecting millions of people with it.

Vulkan 1.3: Dynamic Rendering in Core, New Roadmap Guidance for Modern GPUs
To all the people I woke up at 2am from dialing potential BBS numbers from dubious outdated sources, I apologize. I was 12 and needed that rush of excitement from discovering a new board.

Each BBS had its unique ANSI. A room for files, another for XXX content, one for messages to other members. Some felt lively and bustling. Others felt like walking into a quiet dark cave. You never really knew what you might find.

My dad ran a small Wildcat BBS in the late '80s. I still have all of his files. Probably a couple hundred megs in total. Not sure how he picked that software. He had every BBS software you could imagine. He had a friend at the time that he would trade floppies with. One day his friend brought over a copy of Leisure Suit Larry. I was really intrigued by a game that I had to leave the room when they played. Everything was a bit seedy back then. You ever seen CGA porn that runs from a .COM executable you downloaded on a BBS? It might be porn. It might also destroy your entire computer. 1980s equivalent of a risky click.
Using "immunocompromised people" as the excuse for every abuse of rights and ethics is the same as the right wing using "think of the children" or "the terrorists will get us".
>A good pentester has good social engineering skills.

There is a difference between a pentester and a con man.

A con man with technical skills is still a con man. A hacker is more similar to a modern-day wizard commanding computers to do his bidding.
Well in ancient Athens, they had the agora which was a free "platform" for public speech. Unfortunately OG democracy doesn't scale :(
You are correct. Here in the US we had the White Pages for individuals. The Yellow Pages were for businesses only. Both were massive tomes and roughly the same size.

The scepticism mainly comes from people acting like eating only potatoes for a week would be bad (people do this potato cleanse thing). I don't mean that I'm sceptical of all nutrition but I do think that there's lots of fake nutrition information that doesn't hold up.

I agree that there's so much delicious things to eat that it doesn't make sense to only eat potatoes. I'm only doing it for a month. When I say I'll always eat more potatoes I mean it's my goto lazy food.

I went two weeks without eating anything other then potatoes and a gross tasting multivitamin. Finally I ate half a tiny KitKat and the taste was far better then I remembered. I think eating bland potatoes can help make other food even more pleasurable.

I sympathise somewhat but unfortunately the popularity of the internet means those innocent days of unencrypted information have been made dangerous due to too many bad actors. Like usenet, it's gone, it's not coming back. We shrug and move on.
