I find this highly improbable, for multiple reasons. (a) It's unlikely that requirements will stop changing. In the early days of the web, you didn't need to support forms, shopping carts, or phone-sized screens. No one knows what new user interfaces will be invented, or what new uses folks will find for the web, but rest assured they're coming. New frameworks and technologies will be developed to make them easier to create. And the first iterations of those technologies will be amateurish by later standards. (b) Standards of performance will continue to grow. In the early web, you created a site somewhere and expected it to be 'fine' for anyone in the world to access, and if it went down, well, it will be up soon. Now, replicated sites, CDNs, and completely new architectural schemes (AWS, eg.) are possible and often preferred. Again, these will spawn different ways of using them, and evolving architectures. (c) Our development methodologies will also continue to change, often seeking improvement by trial and error. The amount of technology wrapped in to any one project will continue to grow apace.

Ask HN: Ho to get back restricted Facebook Business Manager?
Hi folks,

Our meta business accounts are restricted because my identity hasn't been confirmed (however on my personal profile it says it has been confirmed)

I already reach out to facebook support lvl 1 but they can't help me out.

Do you know anyone who already face this issue? Do you know anyone at facebook who could give me a hand ?

Thank you so much in advance <3
Although this article paints this being about diversifying a China-heavy supply chain, Apple have been forced to ramp up manufacturing in India for many years now due to legislation that places enormous import taxes on selling products in India that are not manufactured in India. This isn't the first time they've moved some handset production to India due to the tax situation:

> 'defensive' missile installations that can be easily converted to offensive missiles without any visibility

That's not true in any meaningful way. It's a massive process to convert a silo made for anti-ballistic missiles (ABM) into one for ICMBs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) or other type of offensive missiles. It's not an easy or fast thing to do and would definitely be visible from the outside.
It's required in Canada, but in the US, we tend to prefer our freedoms. There are also credible scenarios, say when someone is being stalked, when you would want to keep them off for security reasons; or, if you are parked in front of a house, or pulling into your driveway, perhaps you just don't want them to rake across the front windows and wake your sleeping children up. Many people won't buy a GM vehicle for precisely this reason.
True, but i'd have to settle for way older generation dslr tech for that. I'd rather have the fun of analog photography in that case. Vintage analog pictures look great, vintage digital ones don't :)
Some of the size forcing is for "safety," that is, we have larger vehicles because they need to survive crash tests at high speeds. But if you have a city that decides they want to set all speed limits at 20 mph and design streets so that it's physically very difficult to exceed that speed, you can get away with much smaller vehicles (no vehicles over a certain weight allowed within city limits, for example).

Not every place needs to be a "dense metropolis," but designing everyone's lives and modes of transportation around the needs to people who live 20 or more miles from the nearest city doesn't make a ton of sense. Too often this discussion is presented as either/or when it can be both/and.

I don't think any US state requires you to take several full-day courses after getting your license, for snow and ice handling, as is required in Switzerland for example. Also the road tests I've seen are a joke compared to both the Swiss and South African tests, both of which I've gone through. Requirements to check your mirrors every 10 seconds. Check your blind spot before indicating, then again, before merging. Reverse alley docking and parallel parking in tight spaces. Emergency braking from a fixed speed within a certain distance.

Of course, after years of practice this is how you should be driving. But almost nobody who doesn't explicitly practice for the test can actually pass.

Whether a license is accepted reciprocally is more a political decision than based on test stringency.
Which one would you choose if you were Britain in 1938?

Also curious about "strengthening diplomatic relations" with a country whose soldiers enthusiastically commit "bottom-up" mass murder and rape while its government joyfully obliterates civilian targets like apartment blocks as a matter of deliberate "top-down" policy. Like, how does it work? Do you simply ignore reality while holding said relations and focus on the positives?

Been pretty rock solid for me for years. Nobody said paying someone the price of a cup of coffee would get you a service with zero hiccups (again: none of which I've experienced, but I believe you). Maybe you should start shaking Maciej and demanding he accept more of your money, or run ads. :)
This is a seller strike not a worker strike, just to clarify.

But this made me wonder (since I'm not an Etsy buyer or seller myself), who is their primary market/customer persona? Based on it being heavily craft-focused my naive guess would be stay-at-home/homemaker/caretaker people?

I've tried to use it a few times to shop for used or handmade shelves/lights/tables but always ended up going with Ebay or AptDeco. I found the UI too confusing and there were too many low-quality and super-high-quality pieces when I just wanted something decent but not too expensive.
I host my code on a server because the docker-compose required to run the whole stack takes more memory than my macbook can afford (Docker is very memory hungry on Mac and at the moment I "only" have 16gb).

Basically just hosting an SMB server and then mounting it as a volume on my work computer. So it looks like a normal folder/directory but it's over a network.

You can also get fancy and configure your NAT to only allow this over local connections, then spin up a VPN. In this way I'm able to securely work in my server from anywhere.
So I've known about slide-rules for a while.

What I didn't realize was that the mechanical principles of slide-rules were applied to fire-control computers on WW2-era Battleships.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_I_Fire_Control_Computer

These computers had slide-rule like cylinders that would rotate. As you aimed the gun sights "at" a target, the gun's coordinates were being mapped to a cylinder, which would move the gun a different direction (you have to aim the gun "higher" the further away the target is, to account for gravity "drooping" the bullet).

In effect; the weirdly shaped cylinder inside the fire-control computer is a pre-computed solution that maps x/y coordinate inputs to a z-coordinate output (where "z" would be fed into the gun's raw aiming system).

The different parameters of the gun were programmed in with gears and cranks, moving the cylinder around physically.

For more details, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwf5mAlI7Ug

Its a 20-minute video. The cylinder mechanism (of 2x inputs mapped to 1x output) is specifically talked about here: https://youtu.be/gwf5mAlI7Ug?t=636 . Carefully crafted cylinders could be any pre-computed 2-input / 1-output function.

---------

Mechanical computers are fun. Slide rules are but the simplest kind. People were using more complicated "mechanical computers" for very serious combat / rangefinding / etc. systems just a few decades ago, before the advent of modern digital computers.
The first time I tried my friend's hearing protection for shooting I was absolutely amazed. I've always gone to headphones built for listening, with the noise cancellation a secondary consideration. Professional grade heading protection is really good. (MPOW HP102A is the only brand/model I personally know, but I suspect if you ask people who hunt, they'll have good recs. A quick Google search finds things with higher "Noise Reduction Rating" ratings.)

For sleeping, I used the Bose QuietComfort for a long time. I'm a side-sleeper, so large headphones were a challenge.
It isn't really a choice, it is just what happens due to incentives and changing needs and leaders and politics and technologies inside the company.

People assume that software architecture is like building architecture, in some ways it is, but NO ONE has ever showed up to a construction site that was half way done and said "Hey guys the steel framing we ordered has been delayed so please continue building the rest of the building by replacing anything that was original designed for steel beams with bamboo.
Solo maintainer vs. organization is definitely an imperfect heuristic for long-term support. But it's a decent approximation for dependencies that are low ROI but potentially high impact if they break, like a UI widget that gets used everywhere in your app.

It's the problem with any third-party dependency (ask anyone who's used certain Google products). But then if you build everything in-house, a) it's expensive, and b) you end up with homegrown frameworks written by somebody who left the company five years ago and now everyone is afraid to touch it.

The laws of software thermodynamics come for all of us. Eventually, old systems decay, and you need to roll up your sleeves and do the work to keep them going.

Canada literally just froze bank accounts without due process, and the West did the same effective thing at a country-level scale against Russia.

I don't blame people who were skeptical of the ideas in the beginning, but as BTC sits at $40k, with entire countries adopting it as legal tender, with ~15% inflation in the US, and with financial war (civil and internal) breaking out at increasing scope and scale, it boggles the mind people can still write such dismissive takes without at least pausing for a moment to consider if they've made an error.

The development of trustless globally agreed upon ledgers is as big of a development as the printing press and gunpowder, and it's fundamentally tragic that smart people are so wrapped up in cynicism they're still determined to ignore it and not help direct it in a positive direction.
Has the mechanism been completely documented?

It seems similar to a clockwork mechanism and there are some wonderful explainer pages on mechanical clocks[1]. Something like this for the Antikythera mechanism would be really helpful.

>I think we should set a much higher bar for allowing those cars on the streets, rather than "it kinda works, so let's roll with it".

Indeed. The minimum before any self driving car can be put on the road is that the developers, managers, executives, and major investors and their immediate families have to spend 8 hours running back and forth across a track on which 40 self driving cars per mile of track are running laps at a minimum of 50 MPH. Additionally there need to be things like rains of nails on the road, suddenly floods of water, packs of dogs, tumbling tumbleweeds, and other hazards. If at any point the average speed drops below 50 MPH or if the cars hit anyone or hit each other, the car can't go on public roads.
It's not that Ubuntu has fewer packages because it's 30x more efficient with how it packages software -- it has fewer libraries because it has less software and less developer attention. It's not at all uncommon for me in Debian systems to have to search out non-distro repositories to pull from. And that's even before we get into the issue that Ubuntu/Debian repositories aren't rolling release. I often find myself jumping outside of the official Ubuntu repos even for software that they provide, just because they're out of date; it's one of the biggest reasons why I eventually moved to Arch.

Yes, JS dependency chains are out of control. No, that's not the only reason why there are over a million packages on NPM. No, the solution to the scalability problem of human-curated package managers can't be, "well, we just won't scale."

Adding a bigger standard library to JS would not be enough to get rid of 970,000 npm packages.

That's a terrible take. Programming is often a rarer and more difficult skill to hire for them many of the domains programming jobs touch. Most places will hire you just based on programming knowledge, and will train you in the domain knowledge.

All of the jobs you've listed are highly technical fields, and unusually specialized among programming jobs. A general SWE position doesn't often require much more than just programming.

The fact that this is even a question (that I also don't know the answer to) is indicative to me that we should find out. Being wholly reliant on a foreign nation for something as ubiquitous as chips should be seen as a potential security risk. Not in a handwavy 'privacy' context, but in one that it severely limits options should there be a disagreement.

There is no magic, just legal regulation and it just works. Switzerland and Japan are good examples.
Analog photography is quite amazing but, at least, in 35mm world it's not because of the resulting images but more in the cameras. Old, mechanical film cameras are much more pleasant to use for me. And before someone says that camera doesn't matter - it sure does. A camera that you like to use will be used more so you will end up "doing more photography".

I also love black and white films. I've not tried monochrome digital cameras yet but I doubt that you would get the same output as black and white film.

Not much of a fan in color photography when shooting 35mm but it gets interesting again in medium format ( or larger ). Pulling out the slides you've developed for the first time is a magical experience.

Long live film. It got me into many interesting things that I didn't think I would ever so. Like write a ( small ) blog about photography ( https://50mmf2.com ).
I get mostly annoyed with how expensive some old cameras are because branding. I mean the medium format box cameras are literally just a box with a hole for a lens and a bit of mechanics to move the film and shutter. There's no reason for them being a thousand dollars still. There's even some company 3d printing new medium format cameras and made them expensive :(
Often when defending you don't want to make the moves with the best evaluation. You want to make those that complicates the game and gives the opponent chances to screw up. A defensive move that changes the board evaluation from -6 to -3 might practically speaking be worse than one that takes it to -9. Afaik, there is no automated way to measure what a "complicated" board position is.
Sweden's defence spending is 1.22% of GDP, above Slovenia, Belgium, Luxembourg.

Finland's is 1.53%, also above Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Czechia, North Macedonia.

The EU average is 1.56%.

You're offering something "better" in such a terrible way. I do have a lot of traditional domains and the market for them is going down as well - most people use mobile apps and domains, unfortunately, are losing a lot of their appeal.

I'm more worried that Russia is gonna fuck with us (Sweden) if we join NATO. This is going to be a deciding factor for my vote, I do not want to be a part of big brother USAs extended military arm, I want us to stay true to what we've been doing for the last 200 years, staying neutral and peaceful. If we chose a side we're in the same boat as everyone else.
I’m not an expert on the market, but I don’t think there are many carbon offsets sold as “we will plant and maintain an acre of forest in perpetuity.”

Did they ever get over the idea that a version control system should try to prevent two people from modifying (or "checking out") a file at the same time? That always drove me insane. Every time I got on a plane I'd have to do whatever trick that was that let me edit files even though I never told the server I was going to, and deal with the consequence later. I don't exactly remember the details or how bad the consequences were, but it always seemed ridiculous.

Oh, and cloning a repo so you have a second copy of it for an experiment took ages because you couldn't just 'cp -a' the directory, you had to "enlist" in all the files with the server... I do not recall p4 fondly.

As far as all the sources I can find say, 'hone in' originated as an error for 'home in', but has become widespread enough to be considered an acceptable variant. If one of them is being let in erroneously by the nasty descriptivists at Merriam-Webster, it'd be 'hone in'. But either one gets the meaning across, so I don't see the issue.
