>Both Android & iOS also supports disk encryption and are also locked for most of the day.

That lock does not delete the secret key material from the phone. That is how things like the Cellebrite forensics box can still crack phones. An encrypted desktop stores the secret key material in the user's head. Such a system is for all practical purposes unbreakable when it is shut off. The security comes from usage. It is impossible to create a system that is easily available to a user that is not also somewhat available to an attacker.

An open source program maintained in the open by the users of that program is going to be safer than a hostile proprietary program kept in the sandbox of Flatpak, Snap or whatever.
This story is getting front-paged less about the tech or business aspects and more about so many in YC feeling validation through this outcome. But Kyle’s announcement is pretty minimal because it’s really more of a handoff than a validation of the YC country club.

Dan Amman’s original edict to Cruise was to Beat Uber. Uber was not just disruptive in 2016, but they really wanted everyone to feel the size of their ambition. E.g. they placed an order for 100,000 Mercedes S-Classes that ATG was going to then equip. Uber could raise billions easily, and they were culturally reckless, so the OEMs thought them a threat.

When Dan Amman took over, his pay package showed he very much wanted to be a Silicon Valley billionaire (see S-1 docs) who saved GM. And he had history with Mary. To Kyle, Mary is much closer to a boss, but to Dan, Mary is more of a colleague.

Fast forward to today and the self-driving landscape has changed a ton. Uber barfed all over themselves and COVID has changed the world. Dan Amman no longer had a case for making him a SV billionaire, and he never was able to fix Cruise’s culture problems* anyway.

So the change makes a ton of sense, and I’m sure Dan will find some other way to become as rich as sama or Justin Kan. Dan has already done a ton for GM and he’s good at what he does.

* I left Cruise a while ago and while Kyle hired a lot of good people, he also hired a ton of jerks. In some cases he did it personally. I have four different stalkers from Cruise, one who apparently slid into a panel and got me denied a job last year. Kyle, while I do think you’re the best CEO for Cruise right now, you created some culture problems that have caused lasting effects. Focus on what customers want and let the engineers get their job done.
This is interesting because it's a bit like Svelte, but it doesn't use the Svelte "language" (which looks like JS and HTML but, in some crucial ways, sometimes isn't).

It's a little disheartening to see that it's 3+ years old and has only had a single significant contributor though[1].

It's impossible to avoid single-contributor projects in the JS world, especially with Node, but the alternatives (React, Vue, Angular, and even Svelte) are orders of magnitude more popular, so it's one area that we can play it safe if we need to.

Slightly hyperbolic in saying it's "usable in practice", but only slightly, and everything you said is true per my own experience. That just makes these issues super annoying. Normal people won't put up with it, and they shouldn't have to. Hacker types might be motivated to continue using F-Droid, but power users and others probably won't.
Also there's no need to imagine because that's what this is. A real commit with a correct email showing the wrong user.
Thank you, Namecheap!
It is really rare to see a business with human face.
You are the best, Namecheap Team!

Слава Україні!
For a small company, just having one job posting is a lot of work, let alone managing multiple postings. Hell, there are times where we're hiring for a high level position but if a $30k resource walks in the door we might still hire them.

Also, it is hard to come up with "particular requirements" that makes someone worth that extra $50k. Sometimes it comes down to a risk/reward calculation you have to do on the spot.

Hiring sucks and as much as I'd love to have some great A + B = $100k, A + B + C = $150k formula, there's just too many factors, especially in a small business.
99PI episode here from 2020: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/goodnight-nobody/

I didn’t understand the appeal of the book as it seems like any other book (why is there an old rabbit chilling out in the room until the rabbit falls asleep?), until the above episode pointed out that there was simply no books like that before.
Then how about you start: what's your opinion on the ideal diet?
The Namecheap CEO said his company employs 1000 Ukrainians.

It's almost certainly the case that they face mass resignations and walkouts if they don't cut off Russia. I think I would trust the Ukrainian employees of Namecheap to know better than a random individual on the internet what is in the best interest of those employees and their community.
Whenever I read any history of European democracies, I always get the impression that political oppression was a lot worse in the past than it is now, despite how bad it may appear.

I've always wondered if Europe's decline into totalitarianism was halted all on its own due to the natural "swinging of the pendulum" as they call it, or if it was due to American hegemony over the world, and the fact they basically had the whole of Europe under military occupation until the fall of the Soviet Union.

Is today's rise of totalitarianism in Europe simply the swinging of the pendulum, or is it due to the waning of power in the American empire, and therefore the return of Europe to its natural, equilibrium state?

Oh right, the Plan9 thing was called rfork(), and it only had the flags argument. Thank you for the correction.

The bpf approach sounds interesting! It sounds like you're going to significant effort with RCU to avoid mutexes (for performance I assume?), but there are a few places that you still feel like such optimistic synchronization approaches would be unacceptably costly. What are they?

If you could get rid of them, you wouldn't need a statically declared locking order (and what does "statically" mean in a kernel interface to poke code into the kernel at runtime?)

I've been thinking it would be fun to try a pure capability language along the lines of E, but using pure optimistic STM instead of single threading. That would eliminate three of the biggest theoretical weaknesses of E: malicious code can deny service by infinite-looping a vat, so in practice you have to put potentially untrusted code in its own vat; the error handling is ad hoc and therefore probably prone to the kinds of devastating problems we've seen in the DAO ecosystem; and it doesn't scale on multicore. The E design, meanwhile, eliminates shared mutable data, which avoids a plethora of bugs and security problems L4 userland programs are likely to include.

Such a system of course doesn't need a kernel, but also isn't very suitable for running malicious machine code, and its runtime overhead is likely to be a lot higher than a traditional memory-protection-based system.

What's your main use case?
Okay. I probably should have said "Domain Specific Syntax". But DSL is the standard term.

How to do Filtering in Golang using only the Database SQL Pkg like in Django
Throughout most of history, and in pretty much every non-democratic country, people must die to change the government. You've seen what Putin does to dissidents and even to protestors. Most revolts require decades of fighting and huge numbers of lives lost.

It's pretty evil to expect a populace to do that. In fact it is scarily similar to the ideas within early soviet governments, that mass death now is worthwhile and acceptable to allow for a promised utopia later.
Maybe that's how you feel, but not me. I try to live in a principled way, and I think many other people do as well. So I support calling out hypocrisy because I think it makes the world a better place (I would like my own views also challenged on these grounds). In this case, the hypocritical action is needlessly divisive because it paints Russians as "the other", and I don't think this type of thinking helps the world in the long-term.

I think there are a couple companies with hollow designs for improving surface area for cooling, or at least patents around it.
Sorry you are misrepresenting things a lot.

Tesla publish autopilot data every year. Crashes per mile with AP, without AP, and with Safety assistance features, and show consistent improvement of AP. What do the competitors publish?

You are comparing AP (a traffic aware lane keeping cruise control system) to Waymo (a driverless taxi)? How about FSD Beta vs Waymo how has your experience been there?

By "in public" I mean I can go on YouTube and look up "FSD beta version 8", and "FSD version 10" and see hundreds of videos comparing both unplanned and repeated routes and see improvements and regressions. If I'm in the US I can even get the software myself and try it out (after hurdles)... how much more public could they do it?
No it doesn't. You can pick up all the other things without competitive algorithms knowledge. That's the key word: competitive. This is knowledge excessively optimized for coding competitions like top coder.

Think of it this way. Can all theoretical mathematicians do well in a timed math competition? Certainly there are those that will, but certainly there are many great mathematicians who won't do well yet have produced many great papers and discoveries.

These companies are filtering for competitive algorithm skills. Its like only allowing the top competitive typists to work in data entry and paying those data entry people 500k salaries.
Was Romania under any sanctions at the time?

People do overthrow lousy governments. I have yet to see proof that it happens as a consequence of sanctions.

Sanctions lead to people scrambling for survival, and those in power profiting further.
>And, you know, those people you want to point at their own government, they won't get it.

There are thousands of people 'getting it' being arrested on the streets of Moscow.
That's just a more sophisticated version of sleep sort.

India is setting itself up to be sanctioned themselves if they are not careful with this. There is a whole barrage of social media activity excusing Russia and blaming the West for Russias invasion of Ukraine, none of it makes sense but they are very vocal and numerous.

The Gimmick seems like it would wear off rather fast for anyone interested in gaming, the Seasonal model of games released seems to put all the risk on the consumer to hope they make more. the games dont actually look all the interesting, and as a fun toy for non-gamers it seems to expensive.

(ED) Erectile Dysfunction and Covid - Urologists set the record straight
The hierarchical thing didn't really happen though -- there's no public SID registry. And machine/domain SIDs got pinned to 3 RIDs. So AD always had machine/domain SID conflict issues. It would only ever not have had SID conflict issues if they had had a public SID registry or if you had to install Windows as a domain member rather than install then join (and if there had never been a forest-of-forests feature).

Once you accept that machine/domain SID conflicts can happen, the value of having arbitrarily long SIDs goes away and you might as well use UUIDs to ID domains.
It is definitely not "unethical" to have an AV drive just like a human does... Unlawful, perhaps.
Oh, I didn't mean without exec, but there are some programs like gnome-terminal that do that too. I just meant that forking, doing process configuration with system calls to open and close files and whatnot, and then running exec, is maybe a more convenient way to launch a program in a modified environment, than having a CreateProcess system call with fifty zillion flags.

Open, widely adopted standards are a good thing. Widely supported ways of delivering applications written using those standards is also a good thing.

But as a counterpoint to the rest, web technologies have been free to achieve said parity on the desktop for a long time now. Have they? Do they provide _better_ experience for the user? or do they neglect the user whenever they can in return for _faster_ and _easier_ cross-platform development and ability to leverage existing web developers?
Think of it as a continuum and it starts to be more tractable.
Just a FYI to all this hasn’t yet been peer reviewed. News agencies are too quick to publish. While the findings may not change it’s still worth mentioning.

This is pretty cool. Have you considered not killing the instance after the user disconnects, but pausing the container instead? This opens up the whole tradeoff space between how long you keep the state vs cost to the infrastructure/price to the user.
Fair point. In the end, all these security measures that we’re using are really just a form of “security through obscurity,” isn’t it. ;-)

I really miss the platinum UI. I’ve seen a few attempts at themes that kind of look like it for gtk, but they bit rot way too fast. Ah nostalgia.
It seems like the whole point of the "singlepass" compiler is to avoid "JIT bombs", which in the context of compiling WASM in a smart-contract blockchain solution, could be a vector for a DOS attack.

If you aren't compiling maliciously crafted WASM programs, then the runtime performance of the cranelift or LLVM compilers would appear to be generally more desirable.
I think this is a good way to bring attention to this cause, however, I can't help but point out the notable hypocrisies that this crisis has revealed:

-Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) are legitimate ways to oppose an occupying power? Oh that's quite interesting, I thought that those were considered racist/anti-semitic for the past decade, what happened?

-Sovereignty matters? Interesting, apparently it doesn't matter in the case of U.S. troops occupying the northeast corner of Syria or in the case of the Syrian Golan Heights.

-Refugees are welcome (Hungary/Poland), interesting...I thought that these nations couldn't take on war refugees. Could it have something to do with the skin color of today's refugees versus those from a few years ago?

-In Germany's case, they claimed that they shouldn't pass full SWIFT sanctions because it might hurt Russian civil society. Interesting...they didn't have the same worry when it came to the Iranians for a much smaller offense as invading a neighbor.

Just some uncomfortable food for thought. You may now downvote for pointing out the West's hypocrisy. This obviously does not absolve what Russia has done (stupid I have to even say this, but given today's atmosphere...), but I thought I would point out an aspect of hypocrisy this crisis has brought around.
You've misunderstood his sentence then if you think the question mark is justifying the e-ink claim about patents. And if you look at my comment history, you'll see that this repeated claim/statement about patents vs electrophoretic products is unsubstantiated and no one has been able to provide any factual support for it. I stand by my claim that HN seems to have a lot of Dunningites when it comes to electrophoretics.
Think about the reaction of Hong Kong to China, now add a military on the Hong Kong side. Taiwan would absolutely defend itself.

I think the point is to make the populace angry enough that they assist in overthrowing the regime.
That's probably the case, though I'm no hearing expert. The rumors typically have to do with Peter Frampton volume levels. But who knows what else those guys are doing to their hearing.

They can't evolve the way the latter did. "New API every year or we break your app" is not an option for the web.

As a user, what drives me crazy is the absence of "human interface guidelines" and sane local storage. On the other hand, I insist on the freedom to sideload.

As a developer, I pine for an application platform that is not a 30-year-old messy abstraction over a 50-year-old operating system. If it can help my layouts on a 5" vs 50" screen, all the better.
Deterioration of the economy usually leads to more war even more quickly. You can take Germany after the WWI as an example. Positive regime changes are only possible in the stable economical situation. Take me as an example - at the moment I do programming for a living. Let’s imagine I’m cut off of all the tools, customers and equipment. What would I do? I’ll probably have to work for the regime which will become the only source of the income, will get much smaller wage, work longer hours and have much less resources and influence to change the situation. We went through all this during the Soviet Union times. Such regimes benefit a lot from the isolation which allows them to turn people into slaves essentially.
The idea that you can improve anything by harming people never works. Putin’s propaganda is using the same argument- they claim that they fight in the Ukraine to improve the situation in the region. I doubt you believe that.

> You can still create (virtual) punched cards on Linux. Just install the bsdgames package and run bcd.

You can still create virtual punched cards on Linux by using the virtual punched card driver in the Linux kernel (which only works on IBM mainframes). Arguably a more realistic virtualisation than bsdgames since rather than just being a novelty it can actually be used to do something useful (such as integrate Linux applications with legacy IBM mainframe software when both are running in separate VMs under the IBM z/VM hypervisor - you can connect two VMs such that cards sent to one VM’s card punch appear in the other VM’s card reader.)

"Under California Business and Professions Code 6086.1(b), all disciplinary investigations are confidential until the time that formal charges are filed, and all investigations are confidential until a formal proceeding is instituted."

Does this part of the code apply to everyone, or only the folks in charge of the investigations, or in charge of safeguarding the information?

If someone is in a bar and overhears a Bar employee talking loudly about an investigation, do they have a legal duty to keep what they heard confidential?
