Start to accept that your just a human in a world not steered or controlled by humans, i always try to imagine being a astronaut looking back to earth and think:

Every single human ever born, and every single word ever written and every single day in history lived was on that small wonderful marble in the vastness of space.

What more can happen to you then to die? Living i fear.

We all have to die, but we don't have to live in fear.
Long term energy independence from russia is good, but what about the timescale? I'm no oil/gas engineer but it all seems big industrial investment, but people are talking about cold cutting russia (is it feasible technically?), since it seems to be the road that will be taken, let's hope that europe will wither the shock.
And as an engineer you can slap on a symbol table and it works like a context free language after that.
Privacy TLDR;

Google Analytics 4 has a few changes that should improve their privacy aspects:

IP Anonymization: not GDPR proof

Server location: not changeable

Use of Cookie Banner: still needed

Deleting Individual User Data: improvement

Limited Data Storage: slight improvement

In short, they say they fix a lot of privacy issues, but they don't really address the real issues like the use of IP addresses and the location of your data. [1]

I'm struggling to see why you'd want a specialised explicit IDL for IPC-only, as against it being an implementation detail using same address-space optimisation if services are co-located. E.g. cf OmniORB (CORBA) [1]

While you can have tightly-coupled, highly interactive IPC that would be pathological over RPC, where DSL/IDL and protocol semantics rightly focus on more loosly-coupled service interfaces with network error recovery, I question whether it is desirable even in the IPC case. Intra-service IPC within a single runtime can be as chatty as needed without becoming an Inter-service call (and potentially RPC in other architectures), so does Fuschia answer to an actual need - is there actually a valid use case for tight-coupled highly interactive local inter-service IPC that isn't better architected assuming RPC? Is the benefit of assumed IPC between co-located client/servers an actual problem that 'colocation optimised' RPC doesn't already solve well enough?

> > Unfortunately my experience is that most PMs are not sufficiently technical.

> Yeah. And I eventually came to realize: lazy.

Lazy is just one side of the coin. If someone's career is focused on unsexy hard work instead of halfheartedly "demonstrating value", the core problem is not that they cannot slack off. The core problem is that others can hold them hostage.

As others said, as long as you're being transparent to authorities on how much you owe, it's typically not a crime - but it will likely attract interest and extra fees, possibly at punishing levels (depending on how you go about it).

In the end, it's in the interest of the State, like any other creditor, that you don't actually die of starvation (or worse). Getting a continued stream of money, even if smaller than you expected, is better than getting no money at all.
Next to not actionable data, it baffles me that Google doesn't provide any migration tools for their data. The data structure is quite different, but just saying to all your customers: "We found a better way, everybody, please change now" seems too unfriendly.

As the most dominant player in the market, they could do this (and to a certain extent still can). But for how long?

You're probably right you don't have to worry too much about the bank going bankrupt.

But if the primary purpose of the emergency fund is to smooth things out if you lose your job, that's literally the moment the bank will get cold feet about lending you money it's not contractually obligated to.

If the economic trouble causing your job loss coincides with a drop in house prices and all of a sudden you're underwater, it's hard to imagine a clause like that not being triggered, should it exist.
Assuming this is an advanced civilisation, this seems highly unlikely.

Our capabilities can be well enough assessed from the comfortable safety of billions of kilometres away simply from watching our relentless broadcasting of them in all directions for decades if not centuries now.

We even sent out devices at the limits of our sphere of physical influence, introducing ourselves and with instructions on how to understand what we say.

Certainly, by simple initial analysis of even our most basic technology they could then monitor our own satellite networks on a whim and see all of the same things about ourselves that we do, in realtime and in totality.

Ingesting our transmissions and emissions and assessing our capabilities would be something they could do far more thoroughly than we can ourselves. They'd likely also be able to project what we'll have ten or twenty years from now in detail.

Sending a craft in can only reasonably be interpreted as "hi" given a context of technological dominance, which by necessity is founded on informational dominance.
Prior to these improvements there was a huge benefit: much better filesystem performance. This blog post says they increased performance by up to 98%, which tells you just how slow it was before (slow enough that I personally chose to forgo Docker altogether).
Agreed. This is the most likely scenario. His blog post is literary trash and full of unconvincing self-rationalizations of his every move prior to being caught, while also digging a hole for himself by articulating what kind of industry-insider knowledge was required to exploit that vulnerability. There is, however, a small chance that he is telling the truth, but it’s not enough to get him off the hook in a civil case (at least in the US) because the standard of proof is much lower. Dude’s handle on Twitter is “AccidHacker” and he may claim that’s short for “Accidental Hacker”, but that’s also not believable, from a literal/legal perspective anyway —more likely something an actual hacker would post lamenting how they wound up in such a life.
sure and I totally agree.

But for desktop development docker is a godsend to have a reproducible environment.
> When exercising options, sell enough on the same day to pay the tax bill.

That assumes the stock is trading publicly or at least you can legally sell them.

In India most of the companies ask you to exercise your options within 2-3 months of quitting job. And most of them are not public companies. So there's a big dilemma. Exercise and take tax hit and hope that the company goes public and doesn't tank post IPO. Don't exercise and possibility of big regret. So..sort of a bummer.

Ironically (and sadly) two of the most publicised IPOs in India (PayTM and Zomato) have tanked since their IPO.
It looks like Google is finally reacting to some of the criticism [0] and changes a few things. I think it's still best to switch out your analytics or abandon it entirely if you don't rely on it.

For emergencies I got myself a line of credit from my bank using my stocks as collateral. Currently the line of credit amounts to apox. 20% of the values of my stocks, which is far below the possible maximum, just to be sure in case of a falling market. The interest rates for such a credit are modest, because there is a collateral.

I can recommend to anybody who ownes stocks to ask your bank about such a line of credit, because it has no costs as long as you do not need the credit, but if you need money you can immediately draw a flexible amount of cash for exactly the time you need it.

Google's intentions with Fuchsia are absolutely clear.

>For example, I prefer to do package management from the command line, but if I'm editing partitions, I feel the urge to use a GUI like Disk Utility or gparted.

cfdisk, cgdisk.

Maybe you are afraid of parted/fdisk. Then you are right.

But well, fdisk and such are a bit "nightmarish". I had more luck using OpenBSD's disklabel to slice up it's own partitions. And the GPT editor from OpenBSD (I can't remember it's name) was pretty simple to use and preview even on text mode.

You can have both good and bad CLI/TUI's, and even horrendous GUI's, such as the Red Hat installer.

Any ideas what kinds of businesses these might be?
The problem is that the relationship between your outcome as a holder of ISOs and the outcome for the company as a whole is pretty opaque. You have no idea what the companies cap table looks like, what sort of liquidity preference the VCs have and what are the various ways in which you can be diluted. If you want to offer people ISOs as a bonus/inventive (i.e. pay a market salary and throw in options as an extra) then great. But if you are asking people to trade off salary for a financial instrument that can't possibly be valued with the information available to then it is kind of shitty to be upset when someone gives them an implicit value of 0.

There seems to be a huge difference in the quantity of asteroids below 1 AU, and those above. Almost as if something changes at exactly 1 AU.

Even though Earth is special for harbouring life, is the location of Earth really that significant from the perspective of how many objects could have smaller orbits? The "goldilocks zone" shouldn't determine the density of objects in any particular orbit.

Or is the issue that it is easier to detect asteroids further away than it is to detect asteroids closer to the sun?
Thanks! :)

I don't have any pictures, but they basically look like someone with an amazing handwriting did the invitations.

I started writing the text in inkscape using a "cursive handwriting font" and then converted the text outline to a single vector patch that I converted to gcode, there is a plugin for inkscape that will make it into a gcode description that "lifts" the pen at the right times.

Then I 3D printed a pen holder to attach to the printhead of my 3d printer, and used some rubberbands to hold a pen to it.

Here's a video of the printer in action, drawing a picture I made in inkscape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvS1PObU8PI

What I like about Fuchsia is that it is unapologetically component oriented. Such that one of the first pages in the documentation originally pointed at this [0] which brought me right back to the 1990s. Component orientation for me is "Object Orientation - the good bits". You could argue that things like containers are component oriented but it's worth trying to do this right from the ground up with capabilities.

It may be the case but no one knows for sure. There is no independent sociology in Russia and the state controlled one is a gear in propaganda machine. Also many Russians are afraid to speak what they think and when asked just repeat what they heard on TV even if they don't agree.
We IPOd with a valuation of about 2B. By the time engineers could sell it had fallen to about 300M, and many early employees who were convinced to exercise pre-IPO ended up with nothing due to a very high pre-IPO value and AMT taxes.
Not sure where you are located but e.g. here in Germany there are quite a few online tea merchants where you can buy good tea. I would never try to find tea on Amazon or ebay.

Aside from the online merchants you can find small tea shops in all cities usually.

And aside from the quality the taste preferences vary a lot obviously. Most tea shops offer some set/package with a lot of different teas in small quantities for testing.
Can’t speak for all the FAANGs but I believe it is true for several.
Well, I know that's not really the point, but for xcb_create you can just speak the X11 protocol over the wire. No need to call any xlib function.
Well, it so happens that C23 has so far been decided to remove K&R function declarations! (the "int fn() int arg1, arg2; { /*code*/ }" kind) So it's not utterly impossible for old things to get removed (though who knows if that'll change).

But C syntax really isn't the biggest problem in this. Even if you decide to write a whole new C parser for your new language, you'd still need to support the 176 ABI triples (or not work on many systems) and detect & choose which one the user's system uses. It wouldn't be hard to reduce that number by a lot if anyone actually would've tried to.

Ask HN: Are there tools out there to video chat with anonymity
Context: I am an engineer with computer science background. I am also from a country where mental health is still a taboo subject and counselling is expensive.

Problem: I have some friends who are hesitant to get mental help because of lack of anonymity during the counselling process. This seems like a silly reason to not to be vulnerable with someone but it seemed genuine given the laws around doctor-patient confidentiality in my country. (they are not air tight).

I want to know if there are tools out there that can enable anonymized video conferencing (by use of avatars or by other methods) so that the initial friction to talk to a mental health expert are somewhat reduced.

I am also open to hear any other suggestions on how to convince someone to seek help when mental health is still not a well understood topic in my country. For what it's worth I am from India.

On the one hand the EU was legitimized for being responsible for rallying the different nation states against multinational corporations, on the other hand the result might not be what Europeans want and expect.

I would assume that regulating these tech companies is mostly restricted to getting access to private information of their users. Perhaps there is a paragraph of providing option for integration to save face of the ambition to get more control.
Yes, for the most part intmax_t (and similar guarantees) is considered a mistake.

In C++, the next mistake is going to be the hardware_{constructive,destructive}_interference_size constants that have serious ABI implications. I think that current GCC position is that they are not part of the ABI and they are subject to change (but also controllable from the command line).
"there are languages people complain about, and languages nobody use" (quote from the creator of C++)

It's easy to complain about C or C++, but I don't see that many languages that compiles to machine code, and offer compilers for many platforms.

I agree that C is somehow the new "assembly".

C is the glue used for building operating system, so it's not surprising you need to use it in many places.

I'm sorry but I don't see any better language that is as simple to learn for students as C, and fixes some problems of C. Most new languages are often difficult to read, introduce a lot of un-needed sophisticated features, and are not that much used because they're too niche.

A good example is Rust. Sure, the safety is an awesome feature, but ADA already did it somehow, but it's not what developers need.

There is a reason the world talk english and not german or japanese. It's because english is just much, much easier to learn. Nobody cares if the language makes sense.

It's odd because HTML and javascript are so much more ambiguous and cause a lot of pain, yet I hear more complaints about C or C++.

Creating new ways to interact with the world.

Just because some actors use it to scam obviously doesn't mean that the whole ecosystem is bad.

For Google? I do not expect a lengthy implementation period.
Nobody wants a real "free speech" search engine, where crappy "ads and SEO" sites, malware-infected download sites, in-passing mentions of your search terms, and the long rantings of people you don't like often push the first link you'd actually want down to the 3rd or 4th page.

But as a proof of concept...perhaps Google should offer real free speech web searches, with disclaimers, at (say) freespeech.google.com. Just make sure the results are so full of SEO crap, computer-generated crap, etc. that "people for whom the internet is not a mentally healthy place" do not actually find it very attractive.

Companies who are in constant chaotic crunch time build tech debt partly because the people who would mentor do not have time or energy to help others.

I know that several times in my career, I've had a good mentor and I've grown hugely during those times.

I've found that you can mentor in different ways, some more effective than others:

Writing good, clear documentation depends on people reading it, which depends on them knowing it's there! Showing them during a group meeting rather than just mentioning the docs has a much better result.

Simply saying "my door is always open" doesn't get much in the way of engagement. You, as a mentor, have to put in some footwork attracting people and maintaining the contact. It's all too easy for a junior person to feel overwhelmed by sprints and deadlines, for them to push the mentor session out a week over and over. Or even remember to schedule a session.

It's also easy for the juniors to depend on the mentor-level folks taking care of the more complex things. It's faster, and during the everlasting crunch time, less burden on the junior. So to get the team benefit you have to spend the time going through the "pain" of having someone slower and less knowledgeable do The Thing.

(Maybe more as I wake up, I hope this is useful to someone and not complete bullshit!)
