> I feel like we have so much leverage and don't use it at all...We're still attending stand-ups every day with non programmers telling us when we can and cannot refactor.

100%. It is completely absurd to watch. This sort of subordinate attitude pulls us all down. I think the issue boils down to:

* new devs are not going to rock the boat

* lots of people see software dev as as way to be successful within existing corporate hierarchies

* a lot of devs have very little experience of what life looks like with engineers at the helm

There's also the thing of most people seem to need hierarchies to feel secure. I don't quite understand it but I'm probably just weird.

Personally, I will succeed in partially decoupling time for money in my labor. It's just a matter of when.

> It's also true that the user experience of a 6s running iOS 15 isn't going to be very good.

Are you basing this on real experience or just fishing for HN anti-Apple upvotes?

Just asking because my kid is using an iPhone 6s with iOS15 and really experiencing absolutely no problems whatsoever.
I go with 200 - 250 Euro phones. The oldest surviving one is from 2016, stuck at Android 8. I use it as backup and as GPS tracker / navigator on my bicycle because it's small. The recent one is from 2019, Android 11 and still getting security updates. I don't know for how long it's going to go, but 70 Euros per year / 6 per month (going down) is OK. Of course I'd prefer to see it going on forever. My laptop is from 2014 and sooner or later it will die either because of lack of spare parts or because NVIDIA won't release a driver compatible with my card AND newer Linux kernels. Who knows if I'll be able to use Noveau by then.

Ask HN: Is Your App Private?
Every new website/product/service claims they respect privacy and don't store your information on their servers - how can someone without profound technical abilities verify this? It can't just be blind trust, can it?
Err ... the npm authors (the CommonJS modules/packages spec writers for package.json) mention maven and CPAN in their design docs and discussions as reference. Many of the early Server-side JavaScript adopters (in the 2000's before Node.js but well after Netscape's server-side JavaScript) were, in fact, Java/J2EE dropouts longing for something simpler.

Inflation encourages consumption, in the same way that returns on capital encourage investment. We need both, and sometimes we need more of one or the other. Anyone who thinks moderate inflation is bad does not understand deflation.
In my experience the most popular noscript trackers are googletagmanager and facebook, so with just two domains you can get a lot. But e.g. bloomberg uses full first party proxy for facebook pixel with pseudorandom base url, it's difficult to block even by url; I suspect they duplicate the page request to facebook too, but this is unobservable on client side. Hopefully this solution doesn't scale well.
Bitmain announced the S19XP [1] coming out in the 2nd half of this year with an efficiency of 21.5 J/TH, so Intel still has a lot of catching up to do.

Another news report [2] mentions

> After news of the company's efforts came to light, Intel finally officially acknowledged its blockchain/Bitcoin silicon program, divulging that it already has several large customers for the second-gen chips. That includes BLOCK (helmed by CEO Jack Dorsey of Twitter fame), Argo Blockchain, and GRIID Infrastructure.

> Intel hasn't shared details of the second-gen chips and systems yet, but we do know they are derivatives of the BMZ1 ASICs shown below.

but I'd be surprised if this second generation has bridged the nearly 2.5x efficiency gap...

Keep in mind that capitalists have all the power and a lot of time and incentive to rationalize the status quo.

The assumption in this argument is that consumers are able to observe and quantify the harm of tracking more effectively than regulators could create laws against data collection.

Personally I think the success of either one comes down to cultural factors that are currently stacked in favor of advertisers.

None of this will happen until there we have an objective metric for determining the tangible value provided by developer.

So, so many devs are great at building interesting tech, refactoring to more interesting tech, and so on, but entirely missing the mark of optimizing actual, upstream value delivery.

I'm sure other industries have their means of demonstrating that this or that practitioner can both deliver and deliver quality. We don't have this at all in the software industry. Furthermore the overly common team processes and team structures in use don't even allow for demonstrating this.
Looks like very early stage, but this is wonderful news if it works or will eventually work!

Economic progress was actually far better under the gold standard. That was the time of the industrial revolution. That was the first time great masses of humanity were lifted from poverty.

I honestly think cars are our "sacred cows". That's why we're not talking about people inconveniencing people, we're talking about bicycles inconveniencing cars. We're not talking about people's rights, we're talking about cars' rights. This is of course tongue-in-cheek, but do watch how we word this - surprisingly few people talk about drivers, most talk about cars.

Even road rage makes a lot more sense when you realise we're rushing to defend the honour of our sacred cow.

And it's so deeply cultural, not driving is like being "culturally catholic" - you might not be practicing, but you've been raised in it and accept it as the default.

So we won't ask why cars have some god-given right over all other road users. That's just a given, that's how the west works. Instead we ask why those lesser road users dare inconvenience them, and how we can get those lycra-wrapped vegans out the way of our fire-breathing demigods.

And within this terrible analogy, the Dutch are of course heathen. We accept that they've somehow made being godless work, but we won't even try to wrap our heads around how.
@dang I think the title should be edited. The title of the article, "The empathy of Joseph Stalin", matches the content better than the subtitle, "Nothing is more dangerous than a well-read dictator".
No, substandard implies it's below the expected standard, and it is as demonstrated by the fact that the market expectation is to have bathrooms. How many places do you see on the market without a private bathroom exactly?

EDIT: In fact, many places you'd struggle to even get approval for places with communal bathrooms without special exemptions, as it's so far below expected standards that these expectations now often violate government set standards as it's come to be seen as entirely unacceptable to impose it on anyone. E.g. in Norway, the standard rules for a permanent dwelling requires a bathroom with few exceptions, and sets minimum requirements for the size of the bathroom.

I think the polarization is also a feature, not a bug. Because once it is available, Trump likely believes a lot of these people will leave Twitter and Facebook. This will (in his view) result in a split market between Twitter (Left) and Truth Social (Right). No doubt both sides will view the other as deluded, but at least there (hopefully) won't be as many flame wars.
North East San Francisco vs West Oakland

Closer: San Francisco: Montgomery Street business district vs Tenderloin district

Even closer: Mission District -- Mission and 16th Street. Walk east one block and you reliable find used needles on the street. Walk west two blocks is quickly wealthy.

New York City: Manhattan vs Bronx

Closer: Upper East Side vs East Harlem (125th Street and above)

All of these pair are close and would surprise many by the huge gap in quality of life between both of them.

This one should be like catnip for HN: Palo Alto vs East Palo Alto

Are these close enough for you?

Its more the point of impact, the pedestrian gets hit by the handlebars which are small and pointy. The cyclist will normally get cushioned by the pedestrian.

>I feel like you're trying to force a very specific wording, "expectation of privacy", that doesn't fit very well with what I'm trying to describe

You referred to constitutional search and seizure, referencing the 4th amendment. The things protected by the 4th amendment are generally referred to as the things you have an "expectation of privacy" in; I was just using the relevant jargon for the situation.

>Obviously that isn't an unconstitutional search under current interpretations of laws, but I think it ought to be.

Yeah, I got where you're coming from. It's just ... very dubious, for exactly the reason I gave, and which you had a chance to reply to, but elected to nitpick my (appropriate) jargon instead.

Yes, privacy is a thing that should be respected. But in no reasonable interpretation does privacy apply to something that you force a large number of indiscriminate, unconsenting people to observe, through no effort of their own. Whatever privacy applies to -- and there's plenty of room for disagreement otherwise -- it can't reasonably apply to that.

The "search" in question happened by passively observing the very same thing that the huge number of indiscriminate people were forced to observe anyway, only with quantifiable numbers for consistency. That can't have an expectation or pr-- er, can't count as an unreasonable search. They did not touch the vehicle. They did not look inside it. They simply received the very conspicuous observables that it threw off into its environs, for the purpose of enforcing the law against throwing that specific observable, that time.

There are many issues you can come up related to prosecuting that. "But you searched my private space" is not one of them.
Come to think of it, does GDPR apply to apps?
I'm with you. In my 20's, I was crippled with anxiety when trying to talk to any female I was interested in. After two marriages (very happy in my second), I feel like I could go out do pretty well if I were single. I wish I had my present personality/confidence w/ my better-looking younger self (i'm almost 52 now).
Tax burden in those areas (all-in, including federal, state, and city) reaches 50% at the highest tiers, but 50% of $200k+ is a lot of money. Health insurance for bigger companies is usually very good, with about you paying around $400/month out of pocket for your family with a low/no deductible plan. That comes out pre-tax, so the true cost is lower, depending on your tax bracket. The end result is that insurance ends up being significantly less than 1% of your income at that level. That highlights the main problem with health care in the US, which is that your quality of care depends entirely on your employer.
Which all seems like a whole lot more complicated and incindiary compared to taking things to hand…but self-love isn’t as fulfilling.

There was a comic, it had two therapists talking to each other, one said “So I suggested they investigate poly”, the other therapist said “Did that work?” And the first therapist said “Ha! Oh GOD no!”

I’m paraphrasing, but I suspect in a lot of cases ‘looking outside the marriage’ sets things in motion I really don’t want to set in motion.
It's strange that it has to be this way though. I just retired my iPhone 6s because the battery didn't last very long anymore. I don't really need anything but text/phone/email so I didn't feel like shelling out for a new iPhone. I got a Moto G Power. It's a good phone, except for all the absolute shit loaded onto it. So much to turn off in so many places.

Specifically, needed to get rid of:

- Google Assistant

- Google Location Services

- Avoid accidentally signing up for Verizon's "cloud" and "digital secure"

- Disallow Verizon's app from collecting location when not using the app

- Disable and de-permission Verizon Cloud, which has tons of permissions even though I never accepted using it

- Turn off Google "location accuracy"

- Turn off personal results for ads

- Turn off tracking for ads in apps which is a separate setting

- Change the default messenger from Verizon's "Message+" to normal messaging to avoid having my messages copied all over the place

- Get confused by some weird "premium" upsell in the Voicemail

- Turn off "monthly driving stats" in google maps which is enabled even though I have location tracking disabled, what the hell even is this?

And that's just the stuff I remember.

And I still get a nag screen on maps for having web history turned off.

I guess Google wants everybody's data and Verizon wants to sell "premium" things for more money, but I wish there was just one button to shut all this shit off. There should be a "good Android" option that costs less than an iPhone for people that would pay a little more money for less garbage.
Yes, whilst I admire Wolfram's work, he combines hubris (e.g. Claiming to reinvent science[0]), with a tendency to ignore the work of others [1].

Different idea: If you get the chance, take a very high paying job in the United States for a few years. You don't need to stay forever, but you will see with your own eyes... and make a bunch of money. You'll be "richer" in more than one way -- savings account and experience.

Not X times, but X% of. For us, that was 90-100% of annual expenses. We wanted a one year cushion in case something went wrong.

And to be clear - that's cash money, not investments. That is simply a crash easy to access liquid asset in case of emergency. If we couldn't say, this cash is exclusively for this goal, we didn't count it.

It took 6 years to put together, with both of us working in education.
> and the majority don't want these Nazi flag waving idiots distrupting their lives.

Slightly off topic but the inconsistent treatment/reporting of these protestors and BLM is what gets me. BLM protestors flying "antifa" flags (let's be honest Marxists) are just as bad as Nazis in my book - seriously misled people with unworkable ideas about how the world should be run.

Anyway if you're coming down hard on protestors who are causing disruption but not to protestors who are setting fire to buildings then there's something seriously wrong.
I think I'm in agreement with your analysis. It looks like the L1045 has no car-width shoulder (or much of a shoulder at all) and there are some nice alternate routes that wind through in the same general direction without much disruption from stop-signs at intersections every 500-800 feet. In that situation, as a cyclist I would not be riding on the L1045.

The problem is programmers are relatively immature regarding business, and confuse hobby programming with professional programming. Lawyers might like reading laws, but they are hired for winning a case. Programmers will continue to need non programmers to tell them what to do until they truly accept that code is just a mean to an end and that they are really hired to add business value. The test is simple: are they more concerned about the tech or the core business of their customers and how they can help them. Being paid for their hobby was nice but that golden age is over.

If you want both face and fingerprint unlocks, the Android ecosystem has many options for you, even though I don't think any of them has face unlocks that are as "secure" as the iPhone's. If you want to stick to iOS, the SE still has a good ol' TouchID sensor and I'm pretty happy with mine, with my only complaint being the anemic battery life. If you want an SE, I would advise holding off for a few weeks, as it is expected to get a refresh in March.
> Too many of the sites I use need so many domains full of JS

I hear you, but I wonder if you are being honest with yourself when you use the word need.

At this point, I view Google and Facebook as the equivalent of loan sharks. A loan shark does provide a service, but most people shouldn't use one.
The Moto G costs less precisely because they get the money back from those practices.
It does indeed apply to all vendors. However, it is especially embarrassing for Google to do so poorly with their own line of phones.
Nobody ever looks at the incentives.

What incentives could Apple possibly have for helping this firm?
I don't know the current status of SourceForce, but the problem wasn't one of usability of the website.

The problem is that it had a change of owners, and the new owners started bundling non-free spyware and malware into the installers of otherwise free software. Which is way more serious than simply having a website that is hard to navigate.

SourceForge got a well deserved backlash from the community following their underhanded tactics. Not sure what the situation is now.
Even if this is not cutting egde, it will sell and more so with all those small ASIC chips upon their top node, will help fill out the wafers to allow the unused jaggy edges to be filled with these smaller dies in production.

Now, even without that possibility, Intel is ramping up its fabrication and offerings and if they can maintain that momentum outside their core buisness as they seem to be going, then the more products they can keep the fabs busy and turn some profit is good. Even if they broke even upon this, they would still have this and other avenues to pad out production runs and their lab running costs.

Depending upon how this goes, may see this fused into some GPU offering down the line for that market, certainly they have the ability to do that if the demand is there and also help open up there GPU plans more.

So on the face of it, sure it's another option for crypo miners, but deeper, it too me seems like Intel leveridging some low hanging fruit to give there fab offerings more momentum and shifting towards competing with the TSMC's being an end goal perhaps, certainly lots of catchup. Though the aspect of production wafers and having lots of smaller chips you can pad out a wafer, sure does seem like a capital move and be interesting if they go down that path. For me, it seems like mixed wafer production using smaller dies to flesh out the unused space left by larger dies upon a round wafer as a great way to reduce waste and turn that into profit.
The mean quality goes down, but the total number of games above a certain threshold goes up, which makes discoverability a bigger problem than it used to be, but, assuming we can solve that problem, makes the gaming industry better.
I don't understand why this is complex?
We know that Promise.all completes on the first error. That's literally the most basic knowledge of Promise.all (it either completes when all promises resolve, or rejects on the first error).

You only need to understand basic JS to know why this doesn't work. You don't need to know anything about the microtask queue or event loop.

Or am I missing something?

I tried to use this library for a side project, but ultimately I found that I couldn't predict how it would merge two documents(at least without reading the essay).

doc.cards.push({ title: 'card1' });
});

doc2 = Automerge.change(doc2, doc => {
doc.cards.push({ title: 'card2' });
});

doc2 = Automerge.merge(doc2, doc1);

console.log(doc1);

You should put the same amount of trust in this dev as you should in any other. I myself trust Mozilla's store reviews enough to run the addon, but if you're more conservative with trust, you can inspect the source code and build the addon itself.

The addon comes down to a uBlock Origin fork with different behaviour. I believe most of the addon code is actually the base uBlock code base.

I haven't seen any obvious data exfiltration in my DNS logs, but then again I'm just another random on the internet. If you don't feel comfortable installing something with a privacy impact as broad as an ad blocker, you should definitely trust your instincts.
