Wild, I had no idea. I sat next to some of the Mozilla Research people working on Rust when it was new so I just assumed that was where it started. In retrospect it makes sense that it was a personal project that pivoted into an official one, since emscripten was (afaik) the same.
Just look for free app vs paid app in the app store. Most consumers do not even want to pay 0.99 for apps which took at least 6 figures to develop.
It's too time consuming and has an undefined likelihood of success. People will naturally flock to alternative methods, such as sci-hub, that are faster and until recently were near guaranteed to have the desired content.
No notes, just binging hands-on immersion iterating on short feedback loops.

This will make you look like a „genius“ to outsiders, but it only works on subjects that allow for short feedback loops.

It shows the short term advantages of adding a lane. It pays no mind to what sort of development the new, higher traffic flow will bring, and how that will eventually doom that third lane addition to be just as congested as before. The solution isn’t adding more capacity to roads, it’s getting more people and things off the roads and onto alternative means of transportation.

Carry a notebook around and frequently take notes for things to look back at. The wet concrete of the brain needs frequent imprinting for success in memory/recall. One notebook for career, one notebook for side business and projects. Have tried multiple notebooks, 2 seems to be the balance for me. Different colors. Keep colors consistent over the months/years of getting second and third ones.

I know the official line is that CORS “protects” the relying party (the website that initiates requests) but in practice I have found it to be quite the opposite.

From having to deal with CORS over the years, to me is just a tool to protect one thing… the intellectual property of whatever site we are loading resources from.

For example, images arrive “tainted” and you can’t get their pixels on a canvas no matter how hard you try. You can’t generate a “screenshot” you can print, and so forth.

If this was just about protecting the relying party website, that website would have a way to get around this “protection” to get something done.

Sure, people can try to get at the intellectual property directly, but they’d have to have an authenticated account first. If they do it on the site where it’s hosted, they are subject to its rules. If they are coming from some random site, eg loading it in bulk, the resulting info they get can’t be analyzed by the Javascript.

Yes CORS is just a relaxation of SOP, which makes it impossible to get sensitive data that would have otherwise been revealed to the relying party. Again — SOP is protecting the user’s data loaded from the ORIGIN. Its main job is’t “protecting the receiving site”, that’s a pretty disingenuous characterization.
Your “optimism” make me think only on Elon Musk and another planet where humanity will live.

Anyway should exist more severe rules about these claims.
Completely agreed. Plus the fact that all my notes are in plain text, (somewhat) editable on my phone/iPad, and easily searchable, switching to something else doesn't make sense to me yet.
The actual title (at least now, and justifiably) begins with “Horrific”:

“Tesla segregated Black workers into separate areas that its employees referred to as ‘porch monkey stations’, ‘the dark side’, ‘the slave ship’ and ‘the plantation’, the lawsuit alleges.”
Subsistence farming in the year A.D. 22 is just as unfulfilling as repetitive factory work in 2022.

What makes unfulfilling work meaningful is it going to yourself. When you work and your earnings are not going to a feudal lord or bank, it's worth it.

Modern finance engineering is ruining everything, and tech is beneath it.
> I have never seen even a single example of "undefined behavior" that I thought was justified. All "undefined behavior" that I have seen could have been replaced with "the compiler can do one of these three things" and still been widely efficient

So, what’s that list for “write to a memory location outside allocated memory”?

That may corrupt some internal structure for a hard-disk, causing a loss of the entire file system if data is later flushed.

Worse, with memory-mapped I/O, that can trigger a change to an I/O pin, so it could conceivably launch an ICBM, starting world war three.

The best one probably could do “it may or may not perform that write, and the write may have arbitrary effects, not necessarily immediately”. Is that truly better than “undefined behavior”?

Not easily as their terms are private, but you can tell it's not a huge slice. Fairly well every phone and all manner of other devices uses an ARM but I'm googling their royalty revenues at $1.3 billion dollars annually. So that's not much per device shipped. Stuff you hear suggests maybe they get 1% on the sale price of a CPU. Note that's the CPU price, not the phone. The CPU in a phone might cost e.g. $20 so they maybe get 20 cents off that. I expect they have other revenues from design assistance and support etc but those costs would apply to a RISC-V device also.
Life expectancy != quality of life. In the modern world many more people are alienated and kept alive when nature would release them. Many people are spiritually alienated. The newest version iPhone does not give meaning to your life. Neither does buying a bunch of crap you don't need every week off of Amazon.
Rich people of HN, is this true? I’d always heard each million is worth about $50k a year. Was that just during boom times, or simply mistaken?

The set of all requests possible with CORS is a superset of all requests possible without CORS. The entire purpose of CORS is to allow more requests. By definition, it removes security barriers and opens things up.

> So, without CORS, you have a all-or-nothing security model, where the needle would always pend to the "nothing" side. With CORS, that needle can point "all that matters"

Yes, and a policy that permits nothing is more secure than a policy that permits some things. Although “nothing” is not accurate, some requests are still permitted in either case.

> You simply cannot claim that allowing only requests to the origins you explicitly allow is an erosion of a security model.

I didn't claim that. “Allowing only requests to the origins you explicitly allow” implies that you are enforcing a restriction, when in fact the opposite is happening – you are permitting more by removing restrictions. Tightly scoping what you open up with CORS is still removing restrictions, not adding them.
Hey, I've been there and I have found no answer at this level of abstraction. Most people are great - but there are enough psychopaths to cause mayhem. The way out of this pit of thinking is to take a more spiritual viewpoint. Read around what human beings are capable of, mysticism, and ideas like Yugas - most technology is just trying to replace what we have lost as humans. Learn to be at peace with yourself and the world will slowly join you.
Hopefully, he will just keep creating interesting things, or even maybe use that as a seed to make his next idea come true, so we can all benefit from his cool hacks!

Yesterday I was reading "how to drop out", to me it seemed like a bad plan overall: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30318285

Some people want to learn to live on the cheap to drop out, or to fatFIRE (which is another way to do the same). Personally, I love working and doing interesting things, and being with other people and society itself!

So my personal plan is the opposite of fatFIRE: work until I die regardless of what happens on the side, because I enjoy what I do, so stopping what I do just because something happened on the side would be like punishing myself, then waiting to die out of boredom?

Doesn't seem like such a bright idea to me. Maybe it's different (if you don't like modern society, or maybe other people, or the idea of work itself?

we both know that there are many types of cyclists. you’re clearly one of the 95% rider 5% equipment camp, but i don’t fully agree with you wrt racing. in racing (cat 6 all the way to cat 1) these sorts if things can provide the .5% boost needed.

And the gender parts of the article made me think of the Taj Mahal a lot: that one is rarely seen as a demonstration of any power held by that woman, it's seen as a demonstration of the power held by the man she left behind. Dead people don't commission lavish tombs. Widowers do (or perhaps widows, in a culture with women in power)

Most of those are valid responses in textual criticism.

For example, in law one could fairly comment that:

1. Literalism isn't absolute - e.g the old British legal tradition of using England to refer to England & Wales

2. Laws supersede one another - new laws overriding old ones, constitutional laws taking primacy

3. Translation challenges occur - when documents like birth/death certificates, immigration papers, college transcripts, police clearances, marriage licenses, divorce decrees and etc are submitted in foreign countries for acceptance by courts and other institutions as legal record.

4. There is space for interpretation - See laws deliberately leaving room for interpretation with phrases like "reasonable force"

Despite these challenges, textual critics of legal writings are often able to successfully decide whether a given statement about a text is correct/incorrect.
Neural nets are a dead end. Fitting a new model to some problem advances our understanding of the problem not one jot, the best that you can do from there is stumble around hoping for a better fit.

Some lessons that will come with age.

1. There is no magic that will change human nature.

2. Rules that keep people from harming others are very important.

3. Don't expect to live a "special" or "great" or "revolutionary" life. Aspire to something extraordinary if you see an opportunity, but ordinary things like health, moderate wealth, and family are also good enough, and will have to be good enough for most people. And there is something very special in simply living a very good ordinary life.

4. Try not to be pushed into doing things that corrode the moral goodness within you. You will not regret spurning material rewards to live in accordance with your values, but you will regret the opposite.

Wish I read this (with preface) before I "dropped out" and experienced the descension he outlines.

> Do not drop out. Instead, try to stop yourself from committing suicide until you can find a job that is so non-hellish that it does not make you suicidal

Immediately after quitting my job, I rode a high of investing my time in all of those things I loved. A year later the best I could do was ping pong back and forth between the same set of things, giving up before receiving any rewards. Eventually I found myself in bed overwhelmed by my meaninglessness, trying to rationalize why I should not kill myself.

It took getting a job, which I don't even like, to help drag me out of the gutter.
One trick I have for taking lots of notes rapidly is the following:

Say somebody says a long string "The Cap Theorem is Consistency, Availability, and Partitioning," you write down the initial letters with space to come back and complete the words: T__ c_____ t_____ i_ c_______ a______ p_____. Once you have the initial letters down the hardest part is done. For very long sentences you want to remember this helps a great deal because you will still remember the last several words with the hint of the first letter when you do a second pass to fill the (rest of-the-word) in.

The problem with shadow bans and most moderation is they basically all eventually just make the user's account have no voice at all and its not redeemable. Sure this helps with spam, but on a long enough time frame these types of systems would ban even their best users. In fighting spam and other abuse we take approaches that don't mirror real life at all, even the most rigid humans will forgive.
I like how all the statements from government employees imply "we are being nice." Like no, you're incompetent and this person did you a favor and you got butthurt that you look stupid and decided to jeopardize someone's life to throw a hissyfit and now you're backing off because you look even more stupid and refusing to admit it and so look even more childish than that. That's what happened. You didn't "decline to prosecute as is your prerogative." Just admit you were wrong, you might salvage some respect.
This is a common thought and hardly a new one.

Reminds me of a certain manifesto from the 90s. It starts like this: "The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race."

More happily, it also reminds me of Douglas Adams:

“In the beginning the Universe was created.
This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”

Recently Facebook had a drop in daily users for the first time ever and the stock plummeted. Quaranteenies aren't signing up for it and adults are increasingly walking away from it.

Yes, but not explosively so, and increasing density of built structures means prices haven’t really risen much.

Don’t count new housing growth in Tokyo if you aren’t counting housing destruction as well, otherwise the numbers aren’t comparable to other cities (where new housing usually means “new” housing, not just rebuilt housing).
The fact sheet has an apt comment: "Eradication can be certified only when surveillance can be carried out in all areas to show transmission has been interrupted in humans and animals. Parts of some affected countries are inaccessible to the program because of internal armed conflict. Resolution of these conflicts is key to eradication."
‘The founders’ review: making the future click
If you build a weapon it will be used as one by those with the will to do so. Much of technology is a psychological weapon against the human psyche. It pretends to fulfill our wants and needs like a drug but actually it is feeding off our energy and emotions to empower and enrich the few at the expense of the many.

The real threat of technology is not some rogue AI taking over the world but human intelligence and energy being harnessed and shepherded for nefarious ends.
If you say so. It’s the same thing, even if it’s more comfortable to believe it’s not.

It helps to frame it this way, because once you accept that you’d do that, you’re more likely to accept you would do something unethical for a billion dollars if it had no consequences to you. And from there, it’s a binary search to determine exactly what your price is.

Would you be able to say you wouldn’t lie to your wife if it meant you’d walk away with a billion dollars? Certainly this is contrived, but all examples in this territory are contrived.

1) no notes

2) n/a

3) yes, sort of. Learning something an hour per day over 10 days > learning something for 10 straight hours in one day

4) no method, but I tend to naturally go just below the surface on many different topics, so I think that helps.

A key thing for me is that I learn best by doing.

So maybe watching 5-10 hours of a structured "course", usually at 1.5x speed is about my limit before I have to get started on my own project applying what I'm learning.

After that, it's mostly blog posts, GitHub, and Stack Overflow to learn the more advanced aspects.

This just proves how insecure the blockchain / web3 / cryptocurrency space is.

It's good to see white hat hackers in this space trying to fix what is already broken.

I create the shortest possible time loop between consuming something (text, video, etc.) and applying it to a real project or problem. Then shortly after applying it, perhaps at the end of the day I'll write about the process as if I were explaining it to someone who doesn't know about the topic beforehand. If I can't write about it while clearly explaining it while having a complete and total understanding of every word then I go back and research anything on demand to fill in the gaps.

The idea is you consume and apply, then quickly turn a combination of theory + practice into your own words which is proving to yourself that you understand it. The key point there is "you", you don't need to publish the written component to anyone. Its purpose is to force you to come up with unique thoughts to combine this new information into something coherent which I'm sure has some benefit in making your brain remember it (but I have no scientific proof of this). It can also be used as a personalized detailed reference in case you ever forget the details which IMO is much better than scattered notes you tried to quickly write while you listened to or read something.

I don't know if this is a formal way of learning something. It's something I've done for most of my life because it felt intuitive at the time and still does.

Perhaps distributed systems traces could be extended to attach energy usage alongside other metadata (like request duration).

See also this HN post[1] re: an environmental impact reporting dashboard built by the BBC's R&D department. In that example, a system-level resource monitoring agent called 'scaphandre'[2] was used -- I think both are valid approaches (a tracing-based approach would allow discovery and optimization of energy-inefficient requests; a system-level approach provides good fleet-wide energy usage visibility).

It sounds about right to me. The person replying to you is assuming you don't want to spend any of the $2 mil and only live on interest and being very conservative. 5% a year historically makes sense. Years where you don't get that return, you can spend some of the bank to make up the difference. Other years you should get a little extra to add to the bank. During a drought maybe you reduce expenses. But you should still be able to target 100k most years, unless you get really unlucky. (We currently happen to be living in a time where I think you could get really unlucky, 7.5% inflation and all that.)
