Others have provided good examples, but I'll put it in a way that might make more sense, albeit with a slightly less correct simplification.

>So what I dont get is why QM you could argue that there is some hidden shared state.

Because when you measure one of the coins in a particular way, there's an established probability that you'll change it some percentage of the time. (I.e. if you measure in this way 100 pre-prepared heads, you'll get some percentage of tails. [think of this as say measuring polarization of some photons after they've passed through a filter oriented to 0 degrees, by then placing a filter oriented at 45 degrees and seeing how many go through)

However, even after you do that measurement, you'll find that the other entangled photons are still correlated with the result of the ones you measured. So there's something "extra" going on, which is QM entanglement. I.e. that shared state.

You can actually see the effect of the "changing states" (not really what's going on, but if you were assuming the behavior was classical, it's what you'd start with. If you place two polarized filters at 90 degrees to each other and shine a light through it, you'll get basically zero photons out. Then, without changing anything else, you can put a third filter in-between the two but oriented 45 degrees from the others, and all of a sudden, about 25% of the light will pass all the way through the three filters! It's pretty cool. You could explain THAT part classically by saying that you are "changing the state of some of the photons by measuring them". But then... if you do that, you can't explain the correlation that happens when you do that with entangled photons, and classical explanations just don't really cut it unless you give up something like non-locality.
I am not sure what is a "meta axiom". Could you give an example for one?

Rome: Decline and Fall? Part II: Institutions
The quote from this article that really hit home for me, was this:

"Coding is generally a team sport. If you’re hacking away on your own then you can do what you want, but when we’re working with a team then we’ve got to discuss our ideas."

My current job has this quasi-team, where we all work from the same backlog, with very little coordination, collaboration, or communication. Everyone just pulls a ticket and runs with it in whatever direction they desire.

I can't stand it. When I raise the issue with my manager, it's just not registering. The turnover and retention is poor, so there are a bunch of new team members, and few people with tenure (like a single dev). The prevailing attitude is that if you reach out to collaborate with someone on your ticket, you're not only wasting the other person's time, but you yourself are incompetent. Because, why can't you just crush tickets all day every day without bothering anyone?

It's silly.
Ask HN: Anyone Work at Chime to Help?
I've been trying to transfer money from Chime to another bank that doesn't support Plaid. I've been told from Chime that I'm "shit out of luck" and to "try again later".

It has been 3 days and haven't gotten any response other than "Keep an eye out for an email message from our Member Services team!".

Supposedly, my email was put in the priority queue, but haven't received a response in almost 24 hours when they said I would "definitely receive a response in 2 hours".

To me this seems highly illegal that I can't initiate a transfer from Chime and my money is just "stuck" until they get back to me. Or I close my account and they send a check in 30 business days in the mail.
I've used vim/vi for years and learned a couple new things in the first few paragraphs. Thanks for sharing
Show HN: Continuous Debugger for PHP
Inspired by how a team of ex-colleagues support, tame and maintain a 1’000’000 LOC legacy monster written in PHP, I wanted to see if it would be possible to build a tool for PHP apps that allows adding debug statements to production code on-the-fly, without altering the code and avoiding redeployments.

The goal was to allow support engineers to diagnose root cause of business logic errors much quicker, by adding invisible “echo”, “var_dump” and “print_r” like statements to the production code with just a few clicks.

- Sometimes rollback process is painful, involves manual work or the team just has a move-forward culture (fixing bugs quickly with new deployments instead of performing rollbacks).

- Occassionally there are bugs specific to production environment data and conditions that can’t be easily reproduced in test/staging environments.

- Due to the legacy nature of the codebase it is not always clear how and why the data ended in the place it did and it is not immediately clear which parts of the code were involved in handling the request.

Continuous debugging aims to solve these issues both for the hands-on debugging as well as enriching data that is automatically sent to error tracking services.

I’ve built a proof-of-concept, technical preview (pre-beta) version that demonstrates technical feasibility of such approach for PHP.

I am looking for pilot customers and early feedback to understand if it would be worthwile to invest time into further improvements and additions (if fellow developers would benefit from such debugging workflow).

I’m always humbled by the high quality of HN discussions and deep insights it generates. I would greatly appreciate any comments and thoughts.
IT will cruft it up no matter the OS. I’ve had to run TrendMicro on AWS linux instances because of the gov’ts settlement with Sony re: “North Korean hacking”.

It destroyed performance. Also it was poorly configured by the checkmark-brigade in their “security & compliance” department.

All I’m saying is careful what you wish for.

Edit: spelling
We use Nolt.io as our public roadmap for a side project we're running today. It allows our end users to add in suggestions, upvote other suggestions, and give us a running list of improvements to role out. Surprisingly cheap too
This is essentially what signal achieves IMO: it's replacements for sms, mms, audio with added security (plus video and group chat).

Using your telephone number as username the experience is transparent and unlike all other messaging apps. I can write texts to whomever and if they do have signal, it defaults to encrypted coms. It's inclusive by design.

Other services require usernames and email and whatnot, which effectively ensures it will not be the default. (I understand Apple users cannot change the default messaging app to only use Signal, which is a choice in tune with the walled garden and exclusive by design.)
True, but we do not actually know this for sure. There is a (small) possibility that we are simply looking at this at a scale where all we see is macro effects. It would require the quanta to be much smaller than the Planck distance though.

This is the correct response. Don't speak to the MSM. Publicize on your own to stay in control of your narrative. A reporter will distort and misquote your words to fit an existing narrative and generate more outrage clicks.
Just like the old saying, "markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain insolvent", companies can remain dysfunctional longer than you can maintain your sanity. The link between developer happiness and profitability is tenuous and as long as existing infrastructure continues to work I don't see why this state can't persist for a while.
A fairly common occurrence when looking at old commits is that any URLs mentioned are now 404s, and ticket numbers are for an issue tracker that no longer exists.
My mistake, I will correct.

Last sentence nails it. Momentum is real. Slowing down and stopping an Amazon is possible…but good luck.
This sounds like a feature that spawned from good intentions, but it's obvious in what ways this would get abused once you scale up the amount of Wire users.

I don't know how the senate is set up in the US, but prossecutors are supposed to decide freely. The "boss" is in the worst case just another layer in the prossecution, that's not just a job but an institution.

The general attourney from Germany denied the NSA case because he found no evidence. He's also bound by orders from the justice department ("weisungsgebunden")
Quibble: tech != SW. Outside of programming there's a ton of technical work where it's helpful but not necessary to know how to program.

Beyond that this is a very good read.
> I have never heard of wire, I will check it out. Looks interesting on first glance.

It's basically Signal but without the popularity, despite predating it. Why Signal took off and Wire stagnated, I am not sure. The network effect is one part of it, probably caused by Moxie being popular in the community, but another part is that Wire does not seem to care as much about doing cool stuff like private contact discovery that Signal put some real R&D into (and no other service (Threema/Wire/etc.) even bothered to even copy, let alone build upon).

Main differences:

- Signal is better with metadata

- Wire needs no phone number

- Wire treats devices equivalently. If you want two phones, that's fine (Signal supports only 1 mobile device and N slave desktop devices; can't have desktop without mobile or more than one mobile) and is mostly feature-complete on each platform (Signal misses e.g. gifs on desktop)

- Signal's apps are a bit more polished than Wire's, slightly better UX

- Now that Signal has been gaining popularity and Wire, um, not as far as I can tell, Wire seems to be focusing more on corporate use. But it's still possible to register free accounts: https://app.wire.com/auth/?hl=en#createaccount

- I think Wire has a bots system that Signal does not (and is generally more open to integrations), but I could be wrong here

Fear not, GCP also has a terrible Amazon-like reputation from inside. Googlers in the know rightly consider it like a separate company with a separate culture (they had to hire lots from Amazon and Oracle). I wouldn't base my infra on anything but actual results, not the insides.

(am ex Amazon, and yes Amazon is really really bad, burned out for a year, I could feel the gears in my brain grinding down and doing permanent damage)
I'm working in a public company and I have FOMO about startups. Problem is the public company pays 3-4x (liquid) what a startup would. For now my compromise is that I have a number, and once I hit that number I can take jobs that merely pay the bills with modest savings instead of really moving me ahead. But who knows, it's hard not to get addicted to TC.
It's an effective way to get every country to make their own text encoding, thereby returning us all to the dark ages of computing where you actually had to care about this stuff instead of just using unicode for everything.

I mean seriously, text encodings as a propaganda tool?
There are alternative search engines, so by definition it is not a monopoly. DDG and Bing come to mind.

It just happens to be that Google search is much better, and having tried the alternatives, I've stayed with Google.

The funny thing is if you read the history of Feynman and others, most of them grew up opening up radios and learning how they worked by removing things. fixing them. It's a very common theme (sort of falls off post-transistor tho). I opened up radios as a kid, tried to figure out what parts did what, and eventually gave up.

I don't want to speak for any individual, but it's pretty clear if you just go through the blogs/social media feeds of any of the major figures in the community. I didn't say it's the only perspective, but it's obviously prevalent
I edited my post slightly. I never meant to imply that Apple follows strict semantic versioning—and in fact, they clearly don't, since they stayed on one major release for well over a decade.

It's okay if Apple's "minor releases" occasionally have breaking changes. But I don't think "wait until the next major release to remove an entire language runtime which has been built-in for 15+ years" is too much to ask.
thank you! agree completely. i have some ideas how to develop it further and add more randomness to it, but i really wanted to get something out as soon as possible, and if there's gonna be enough interest, i'm going to keep making it more complex, and, ultimately, more fun!

I'm a new driver (~6 months) who used to cycle a lot in the past (I stopped due to one ride where there two collisions involving cyclists and cars and a further severe car-car collision all in the space of about an hour), but I've always overlooked considering the door zone for oncoming cyclists on narrow roads.

Thanks for your comment, it's highlighted to me a shortcoming of my driving that I'd never properly considered - and I don't expect I'm alone. I've watched lots of YouTube videos by driving instructors looking at footage of their students and compilations of dashcams and haven't once seen such a simple and obvious thing highlighted, which is probably a little worrying.
I'm interested in hiring people who want to not just invent but put into production a better way of doing that. Mostly I want people who think of the problem like that.

Amazon is bad no doubt but it's all relative. People who are shocked other people are willing to work there are showing the bubble they live in. Average American deals with similar or worse conditions for a fraction of the salary. Most people don't have the option of picking between different 300K+ FAANG job offers

Not being as cushy as the rest of the big tech companies is still vastly superior to most jobs
Wow, so many replies that boil down to “because typing is better, you should just type”.

This is fairly insulting as RSI’s are very much a real thing.

Does this community also think that wheelchair ramps should never be invested in because stairs are clearly superior?

I’d rather see the brain power in this community focused on solutions. Keyboard + mouse have lasted so long because they work surprisingly well, but I hope there is a day that we dream up something better that does not require slowly giving ourselves carpel tunnel.
It's not lenient admins but failing autonomous screening/getting.

People have all the time problems publishing for all the stupid reasons.

At the same time people publishing malware or spyware are not cought.
But then perfectly valid messages from someone's self-hosted mailserver never even make it past their pre-screener.

If DKIM, SPF, or DMARC record validity, or even past conversations don't matter for deliverability, what does? I'm beginning to think even Google doesn't really have these types of answers anymore.
Thanks! If you right click on any LaTeX you can access the raw TeX code. Admittedly this is just the default MathJax behaviour though haha. If people wanted it then I could probably make it easier to get the TeX in fewer clicks.

I thought that it might be useful to use this application to generate TeX, so one feature I'm working on is to fine tune the output format (e.g. choosing the multiplication symbol, instead of \cdot, maybe \times or \,).

Thanks for trying it!
The paper (well, the abstract) calls it "fully dynamical kinetic model".

Or, in other words, it doesn't solve the Schrodinger equation at all, but uses well known solutions for parts of the molecules, and focuses on simulating how the molecules interact with one another using mostly classical dynamics.
porting your G Suite legacy free account to a consumer Google account still means that you can’t keep your existing email address with a custom domain name

I'm not certain they've correctly interpreted that. The source says "This new option won’t include premium features like custom email", which I think may be different. I suspect that means keeping the email address, but losing some of the ability to manage multiple email addresses as an entity.

I'm not sure what's included there, but I think color and design schemes are one of them. And I think you'd lose the ability to have a catchall email address -- something I actually use and like, and would have to consider. But I used it mostly as a spam trap, which is less important now that spam filters are better.

So it sounds like what you'd get if you had a traditional email account with some other provider and used it as your Google login -- which comes with Gmail, Google Docs, Google Pay, and a ton of other things. You don't lose the address -- at least, not the actual addresses attached to accounts, as opposed to the myriad fake addresses I have that end up in catchall.
This won't happen. Computationally inconceivable with all that we know at the moment.
That convenience has to be let go when working on operations-critical services. This feature is an absolute necessity in a lot of cases, and of course employees can complain, but not resolving certain issues urgently can mean that an entire hospital's system stays inaccessible overnight, or worse.
The feature flag service was doing double duty as both the “marketing experimentation A/B testing” platform and the “feature rollout” platform. Not defending the service boundaries, but it had enough meat by itself that there was a full time team working on it.

I also think the intent of the service was to be used for temporary experiments and rollouts, with the assumption that everything in the system could safely turn off. If these assumptions held you might not want to allow a bug in the flag service to take down auth. Indeed, the outages we did have from feature flag service going down would have been worse outages if it was crashing all of auth and unaffected clients couldn’t log in.

In practice long running tech debt resulted in unexercised code paths that might be years out of date.
In an earlier version I had this in parenthesis "there’s also heap like in heap sort, but perhaps that’s for a different post" :)

We simply have a column on a few our of models called "features". Just an array with plaintext values. It's just branching logic on the FE/BE.

The biggest thing with feature flags is using them at an appropriate level of granularity for the stage of company you're at. Branching logic adds complexity.

Consider starting with an entire feature/route/page set to keep the branching logic consolidated and simple. Only move to more granularity as you need it.

Older cars in rural areas can be a lot cheaper to own.

But, ~10k/year is normal in a city. Don’t forget ~100$/month in insurance, 100-200+$/month parking, ~50-100+$/month property taxes, 100-200$/month in fuel etc. Not everyone needs to pay tolls but those add up extremely quickly.
I was on a construction site and the construction trailer was brought in. Its door was padlocked. No Key. With a rotary saw (gas powered) and a metal cutting disk it took about 4 minutes to open. 3 minutes and 50 seconds was trying to get the saw started.

Locks are generally a mild deterrent and "proof it was broken into". reducing access to the shackle seems to be more popular.

Those big metal construction boxes put the lock inside the box with only access to the bottom of the lock. Doesn't help against pickers, but you'll have to cut through the steel box to get inside.

As a heavy user of AppEngine/Java in the early days, I don't think AppEngine/Java was every really viable. The long, long startup times were absolutely brutal for scaling (30s-1min+, even w/ridic. work to optimize).

I stopped using it ~2014, but at that point it felt like it was going to go anywhere at all. The AppEngine environment just needed ways to pre-warm/pre-JIT (or even a snapshot function) to make this feasible on the underpowered instances that used to run it.

I also used a ton of AppEngine/Python (and still do on some of my personal single-serve sites - ie progscrape.com) and that was just so much better overall. Given the heavy use of caching, none of my AppEngine/Python sites ever incur a bill of >$0.10 per month.

Slightly off topic but you can take the "Pythagorean theorem" as an axiom - given the first 4 Euclidean axioms it turns out that the 5th axiom is exactly equivalent to the Pythagorean theorem. You can equivalently start with the parallel postulate and derive Pythogoras or start with Pythagoras and derive the parallel postulate.
