I would be very surprised if they were useless. Even if they were just racks for hanging chaff that disrupted FLIR targeting scopes, repelling hand thrown molotov cocktails, or as the article states, bouncing drone dropped IEDs and RPGs, and preventing blocks of rubble from covering the hatch when it pushed down walls and buildings, the cost/benefit of such a hack seems plausible. A lot of our western messaging about the invasion is not very powerful and "cope cages," and "useless," are weak and backbiting. Snide doesn't win, it's a loser attitude, and the staff at The Economist above all should understand this. It was the conceit that cost them their empire, I don't see how they should expect it will win any more wars.
That and the grids article are probably the most used bookmarked articles I have perused.
It would mean a great deal to all sorts of web apps!

To provide just one example, I released a turn-based word game as a PWA two years ago. With no option for native push notifications on iOS, I decided to email players to notify them each time it was their turn in a game.

Despite my domain having full support for DKIM, SPF, and DMARC, the usual problems of email were still a huge pain: Some domains (I'm looking at you hotmail.com) considered everything spam. In some email clients, the design of the emails looked totally wrong. Some of the more active players complained (rightfully so) that their inbox was filling up with these emails.

Sadly, the overwhelming majority of games never got past one or two moves, in part because one of the two players didn't see the email that it was their turn.

So yes, it would really, really help small businesses like mine if Safari would catch up here!
I agree. To add, usually when this happens seemingly at random, it's to make the company look more attractive for a sale, in my experience.
I write Python professionally and Rust in my limited spare time, and Wow! do I miss the borrow checker when I go to work in the morning.

And of course: the enums, match, Option/Result, performance and a handful of other great stuff.

Undoubtedly, the issue of memory safety while remaining performant is a game-changer, but the word need is a bit strong here...
What’s an example of such a system?
you can pick a alternate browser on IOS and as I said - it was multiple instances

Go in your google/android settings and make sure location tracking is off - come back and tell me with a straight face that the UX of the feature is not a dark pattern.
>People make mistakes.

It's as simple as that. And at scale, it adds up to a lot of mistakes.

And for better or worse, much of the tech industry does not require extensive certification and training with checking and rechecking of every step. (And even aerospace makes mistakes.)

And, yes, junior people make even more mistakes. But I'm not sure the fix to that is to have junior people's every action be check and rechecked by a more senior person. It can be done. That's generally how things work in medicine for example. Along with stringent certifications. But I'm not sure how many people in tech would want that. It's a reasonable discussion to have. Maybe training wheels are taken off too early in many cases.
As alternative sure. But we won't be making a performance argument as well. And it is hard on top soil. Maybe easier if we use things other than corn.

I rebutted the performance claims, and did so based on energy density and engine difficulty. Many will be dealing with those two things, with the latter being more important.

There is no need to oversell. People will deal with the fuel because they need to. Engines won't love the stuff, unless their ECMs are setup to deal with the lower performance per unit of fuel. Then they will work, but not optimally.

Drivers will notice their car is not as peppy.

Source: I have driven on high percentage ethanol. One of my vehicles does OK. The fuel is not recommended for the other one. It may need an additive.
Managed services don't save you from that. You still have to configure security groups to reach them and a lot of devs just use the easiest way and expose the thing to the internet.
you might have an easier time splitting up send and receive into separate managed things instead of looking for one system to do it all over SMS

_SEND_

You can send an email over SMS I believe by texting the email address.

So you should be able to set up a server to process emails you send to a specific address and trigger commands in response to it. the triggers would need to be set up in advance, but other than that you should be able to do anything normal

_RECEIVE_

For receiving SMS - I am not sure tbh. You could use Twilio, but it might be overkill. I would jsut make sure whatever solution you use doesn't get automatically blocked by the ISP. I am not sure the proper way to flag something as wanted / intended
But were those tokens sold with the same terms?

New experimental Docker4Mac file sharing VirtioFS
Ask HN: Any developers work without Administrator access to their computer?
I'm a software developer for an infrastructure product. It isn't critical infrastructure, but if we were hacked, people would be disrupted.

Recently, the CTO made an offhand comment that we might loose administrator (root) access to our development computers. According to the CTO, we would have to declare all the software we need and it would be installed for us by IT.

This struck me as odd, because it's extremely difficult to develop software without administrator access on a development computer.

Is this a common practice (no administrator access) for other Hacker News developers?

A few more things:

We follow the pull request process: All code is reviewed on Github. Branches are protected so it's difficult for a malicious party to slip something in.

3rd party dependencies are locked down and closely reviewed. Someone couldn't slip in a change to a 3rd party dependency without us noticing.

We could, in theory, perform ops in a locked down environment. Separate hardware, special ops VM, or similar are all possible.
Echoing what others have said, start granular budgeting and work on increasing your salary.

A couple years ago I finished the year feeling like I lost money, even though all my bills were paid. I painfully dug through every transaction from the year and found that I was down about $20k from the prior year. I thought I was living modestly, but I was actually buying about 3x the stuff than I would have guessed. I started with YNAB (not affiliated with them at all) and it changed my life. For the last two years, my wife and I have been hyper diligent about budgeting, meeting every two weeks (the Monday after $dayjob pays me) and make sure we are aligned. I left 2021 net positive about $50k because of this.

I have made $25k/yr from side work for a few years and this definitely helps get ahead. My dayjob pays me about $150k in a medium TCoL area.

Best of luck!
> if you do not need the thing to last, you may be better off with the cheapest one

Well, it's not even sure if you take resell value into account. If you need your good chair for one year, just buy it $2000 and sell it used for $1900.
I don't have to pay to write comments, but I would likely have to lock up capital tied to an account while the comment is being rated, which can be lost permanently. Having an account with more verified comments can have a mark or rating of quality that can be queried off a blockchain outside of the centralized website that serves the data, which can be investigated independently by a user suspicious of centralized vote manipulation.

What users do when seeing comments from accounts that have lower signals of quality is up to the user to decide. If they would rather listen to voices from unverified accounts over ones that have higher signals that's for them to ultimately choose. No one will be required to necessarily lock up capital to comment, and no one will be required to only look at comments from those who locked up capital.

This is just an example I thought up of on the spot, but I believe there are people who actually did a much deeper dive into these concepts.
The topic is "how do I stop living paycheck to paycheck", not "how do I build an empire".

If you save 30K and lose 3K to inflation that's still 27K more than not bothering at all.
> Lol no, a professional sports team is of little "joint benefit to society", at least not of the kind that seriously concerns the government.

Alaska. It is possible to get LEO phone / data, but it is more cost prohibitive. Unlimited SMS plans on LEO satellite services are relatively cheap.
In fairness, that easily can be an actual personal opinion; consider that "people who work at Google" is almost certain to be filtered to "people who aren't too bothered by Google's behavior" in the first place, and then they work in an environment that exposes them to the values that create Google's behaviors.
Company mode is the big offender for me, it handles very large completion lists poorly. I'm not yet fully satisfied with the latency situation in my emacs config, but for me there is no going back. Evil mode let me keep almost all of the muscle memory I ever learned in vim/neovim, and the rest of the emacs ecosystem more than makes up for the latency issues in my opinion.
My basic plan will be same as last time, and that is to use a lot less fuel.
The main issue with SMS is that it's unencrypted and often intentionally being piped to third party firms for advertising and whatnot, so whatever you do it probably isn't advisable to send anything you wouldn't want people seeing (eg. I wouldn't suggest doing email via it). If you have even the smallest data cap, https://lite.cnn.com can be used for your news and https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/ (/h/ at the end) will load the mostly pure HTML version of Gmail, or even just imap (without automated push/pull) is pretty lightweight on data usage.
Not sure if this is interesting but only one of those Rust articles is about Rust or its usage. The rest are about programs written in Rust.

For Javascript it's the opposite; only one is about something written in Javascript. The rest are about language or its usage.

Not sure if one can say that that's an indication of pumping. Seems more an indication of usage.

It's not difficult to do, but it is hard. Cut as many expenses as you can. Examples: cook your own meals instead of eating out; bring a lunch from home; shop for groceries more carefully - use coupons, get stuff in bulk & freeze it; build some security into your food supply - get extra cans of corn or boxes of macaroni when it is on sale - the stuff lasts forever; don't buy anything unless you absolutely need it.

At the same time, eliminate debts as quickly as possible. Start with high-interest credit cards - eliminate them one at a time, then ensure you pay of the one remaining card every month so there is no interest. If you have a car - do you need it? If you're in/around NYC you could take public transport for most things and eliminate the car payment, insurance, maintenance, etc. If you need a car sometimes then consider renting it only when you need it.

Housing - could you live a bit further away for cheaper & commute in via train? Have a roommate?

Cut back on entertainment - wait for movies to come out on TV, eat in, use the library - it's a great resource and costs nothing.

Main focus is on needs vs. wants. You NEED a 1 month cushion of cash in a savings account to cover any emergencies w/out resorting to credit cards. It's nice to have 3-6 months. So start with a few $hundred and just keep adding to it.

My wife likes the Dave Ramsey books - they seem to offer pretty solid advice. There is no reason to be living paycheck-to-paycheck, even in NYC, if you're making 6 figures. It may not be as fun or glamorous, but it is completely doable.
I think at least some of the REPLs came about with the new compiler architecture, yes. That isn't exactly new anymore, but new compared to the overall age of .NET.
Idiotic strategy which is about as smart as pissing in your pants to stay warm.

Big firings like this create bad blood, undermines loyalty to company and get many talented people to look at alternative companies to work.

A talented organization takes time to build up but is relatively quick to tear down. Skill in this industry is not exactly easy to get hold of. Talent which leaves may prove very hard to get back.
The Trojan Horse Affair vs. the British Press
Errr. I think there’s a big disconnect here.

1) NYC is not just Manhattan. The outer boroughs are also NYC and are far cheaper. Not Nashville cheap but livable. You don’t need 8 people in 3 bedrooms. You can even live in jersey.

2) A lot of NYC has affordable housing and projects. A lot of communities making the basic minimum wage or not at all can live there.

3) 110K is a absolutely doable in NYC. It’s just not doable if you live outside your means.

> More experienced people will generally be happy to offload ownership tracking to the compiler and save some of their brainpower for other things.

For me, the great benefit here is we can explicitly mark down in the code if a parameter is mutable vs immutable. This is a gain since you know explicitly if what you pass in will be changed or not inside the function.
Beautiful, isn't it. Humanity truly are not the creative geniuses we mythologize ourselves as, but instead nature's supreme recombinators. Visions of the future are more like rorschach tests, revealing anxieties of the present.
> Either way, your same argument can be made against the whole internet which should demonstrate how silly it is.

Not really.

I recognize that the same criminals can also use the wider internet too, however there are central authorities and regulators in different countries that have laws that regulate the internet in the countries that they are in and these criminals will be caught very quickly if they tried.

The difference is that Tor only makes it more harder to trace, hence the appeal to criminals, extremists and terrorists to use it for their illegal activities which that is its unintended use case after promising 'privacy' and 'anonymity' for 'everyone'.

So yes, that is it's 'decentralised' road to hell indeed.
Rust was a shiny new thing back in like 2018. It gets talked about a lot because it has a lot of ergonomic and conceptual fixes that make life better. People like that. No, not every programming language is the same.

"nobody, other than minuscule amount of people who ever had a git write access in their life, actually care or will ever care"

So nobody, other than nearly every software engineer out there. Nobody, except the majority of people working in our field. Okay...
When you're done with Rust it'll be time to switch to working on Nix. Of course, if you're smart, you'll figure out a way to tackle both at once.
> 2 performance cost of a managed language like Java

It can be a lot worse too. Java lacks the ability to have really compact data structures and can not lean in too much into the hardware acceleration without becoming incompatible. You can't exactly set `--fast-math`. Shame GCJ got dropped.

> strcpy in C is Turing complete

Not something I've heard of - is this an abuse of Unicode?

> most code has to portable to at least x86 and ARM (often both 32 and 64 bits) so assembly is out…

(I've not looked into this deeply) - It should in theory be possible to offer translation from one architecture to another, but I guess it is much more effort than it is worth.

Seems like if you could translate your assembly into LLVM equivalent assembly (or just use it directly), you could then build for the target architecture [1].

I'd personally just stop using hacker news. Clickbait is a trait of media consumption for decades now, we have to learn to live with it.
Damned is the society that churns out this behavior so frequently. For every 1 that is in the news after committing a crime, there is a hundred that feels the same but commits no crime. Yes this problem needs attention, but a better use of resources is to find out what about society is causing this. My guess is that the parent(s) are to blame.
That’s usually the case with a public owned stadium but it doesn’t change the fact that the taxpayers payers own it.
Fenway Park is actually a bit of an outlier. Wrigley Field also counts. Both of these stadiums are in dense urban neighborhoods and not surrounded exclusively by acres of surface parking lots.

Publicly financing a stadium in that setting might actually be a net positive (plenty of other factors) because all of the spectators are walking through the neighborhood with all the shops, restaurants and bars just to get to the stadium.

Baseball teams play 81 games per year in their stadium. American football teams play 8. That is also a huge difference. There are many stadiums that host both hockey and basketball and thus have 60-70 games per year - plus concerts and other events on top of that. Utilization matters! I don't know if they do anything in winter at Fenway Park, but at Wrigley Field there is a neighborhood ice rink in the winter time. The skate rental/lockers/bathrooms, warming station, concessions, and even Zamboni storage are all inside the stadium. Here's some rambling video showing what "hanging out at the stadium" looks like even when no sport is happening:

Total thermal energy quantity.

Edit: add numbers.

According to Reuters, Germany uses about 100+ billion cubic meters of natural gas/yr right now [https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/how-dependent-is-ger...], with Russia accounting for about 30% of that supply.

A billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_cubic_metres_of_natura...] is about 38 petajoules of energy or 1.06×10^10 kWh. Or about 10 TWh of energy.

So Russia is supplying Germany with approximately 300TWh of thermal energy/yr. Total natural gas usage is in the peta watt hour/yr range for them.

Resistive hearing is (not quite) 100% efficient at the point source, but when adding in transmission losses it’s often more like 90%. High efficiency natural gas heaters are similarly efficient.

Heat pumps can go over unity, so assuming 3x efficiency is not bad. Capex is high though. And if burning natural gas to generate the power, efficiencies aren’t great end to end. Not much better than just burning the gas directly on site.

What makes it worse is that much of this energy needs to be released during winter months when renewables have the toughest time, and if it isn’t available people will freeze to death.

So it needs a high capacity safety multiple, and needs a decent amount of storage. It wouldn’t be a good idea to only have a day or two capacity stored for instance, since a unusual storm or quiet period could mean unexpected emergencies with little time to prepare.

Burning it to convert for electricity isn’t ideal either, as even burning it in a turbine and using very efficient heat pumps has roughly the same end to end efficiency (not counting storage) as just burning it on-site for heat, but dramatically higher capex.

Rust may allow 100 engineers to work on the same codebase without spending all their time debugging memory corruption errors. I say "may" because I don't have firsthand experience in a team that big.

For a high cost of living area such as New York, with a family to support, it is unfortunately very low - couple that with their title and years of experience, it is just factual compared to the market that they could be earning near double. At $110k a year, you are looking at a $6k monthly take home; over 1/3rd of that is going to the mortgage OP posted, and they have three children. Once you add insurance, groceries, and other obligations (such as perhaps a car + insurance), it becomes very easy to fall in to the paycheck-to-paycheck life.

Yes, $110k is a lot of money, but it quickly disappears depending on where you live - for perspective, based on cost of living, this would be equivalent of earning $41k a year in Kansas City, KS/MO, or $37k in Birmingham AL -- cost of living plays a huge factor, and not accounting for that is the actual loss of sense and perspective.
Given how ecstatic the residents were, I'd think that such consultation would make little difference (ie. they already approve of the project).

The memory safety thing seems to be appealing to some people who believe it will dramatically reduce the security issues found in many software. (they usually know very little about actual security exploits)

Hard to argue with that...But their neutralization could be so much more morally expansive (and defensible).

> the delay that batched settlement represents

Bitcoin transactions can take anywhere from 10 minutes to upwards of 16 hours for minuscule volumes of transactions. It's not solving that problem for certain.

The cost is built into the transactions. Just like it is with blockchain transactions. Now then, which has higher per transaction costs?
