There's some perspective of Torvalds on 386BSD in this 1993 interview: https://gondwanaland.com/meta/history/interview.html

Applicable part:

"when I started on Linux it [386BSD] wast available (although Bill Jolitz series on it in Dr. Dobbs Journal had started and were interesting), and when 386BSD finally came out, Linux was already in a state where it was so usable that I never really thought about switching. If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened."

I don't think the lawsuit played an issue.

Man the 22 year olds in this thread are hilarious.

Yes. With a one year old, esp during COVID, childcare time is time you can’t leave the house, can’t relax, can’t do anything productive. So yes, you make a schedule - you pick them up from daycare, watch them for an hour while I study, then I’ll come make dinner and do bedtime.
Ask HN: Performance of SSDs on M1 so far
The M1 Macbook has been on the market for a couple of years. Leaving aside aspects such as reparability and upgradability, it is a solid machine for everyday coding.

However, my biggest concern is the excessive SSD usage.

M1 users, what is your experience with the machine? Have you experienced any issue related to the SSD in these two years? I would like to get one, but I do not want to deal with data corruption during the lifespan of the machine (I suppose four years is a conservative duration).

The size of the ecosystem.

Industrial sabotage happens in most industries and JavaScript developers are no exception. This particular industry is huge. It contains millions of workers, some of which are politically motivated to engage in this kind of sabotage. The potential reach is even larger. And a well performed sabotage can potentially affect millions of people inside or outside the industry without putting the saboteur in that big of a risk.

I’m actually surprised we don’t see more of this.
I disagree. I am glad people are getting paid (exceptionally well) to do stuff like this and they should charge for their efforts. We need more initiatives like this, not less.

Open source is amazing boon to our generation, it has enabled free access to basic building blocks for people to build amazing things. But I don't think it is a silver bullet for everything.
Fair enough, I guess. I never realized Thunderbird already supported those. I always had HexChat, Pidgin, or Fractal for IRC/GTalk/Matrix at the ready instead.

I’m curious what this “The Current Thing” phrase is supposed to mean. I’ve seen it used a few times very recently, and as best I can tell it seems to mean something along the lines of “all opinions on a current event or political issue are equally valid and thus any strong position on the event or issue ought to be mocked.”
> hat time when half the internet switched to ICQ

My impression as a European was rather that AIM was not well know outside the US, while ICQ was. (It was the "America Online" instant messenger, no? So while AOL became available to other countries, I don't believe it reached the same market share and notoriety).

So I assume the rest of the world was adopting ICQ "from the beginning", and then maybe there was a phase in the US where, in the interest of international communication, they started to adopt ICQ as well? Just conjecture, I wasn't in the US at that time.
What the hell are you even talking about? This site is completely delusional.
That's not fully true that multicomputation and Wolfram's research with cellular automata and combinators is nothing more than noodling. I think there are some very interesting applications coming soon and the decentralized VPN product NKN/NKS/nConnect is doing something with Wolfram's research in application that I think has wider applications than their current model.

This discussion between the CEO of NKN and Wolfram is pretty good. [0]

I am not saying it is the most important thing happening in "multicomputation" but I think there's a lot that this approach can lead to when we start talking about using clusters of computers, GPUs, TPUs, cell phones, edge devices, etc in a secure fashion. I think there's something to it, but I am also an idiot and could be very wrong.

Well, maybe no more "pull someone else's master and build without scanning".

Inside a walled garden / from specific people you trust should be fine. Some automated scanning could maybe be ok-ish at least sometimes.

So...it wasn't really rand() at fault here, it was some reentrancy library that newlib uses...

For some reason the blog lists the source for rand_r, to which the caller supplies the state rather than using global state.

I wonder if they'll run into this with any of the non-reentrant C functions (strtok, I'm looking at you). It makes their conclusion of "we stopped using rand()" a bit wanting.

I mean, it's great that they stopped using rand(), that's a good move, and pragmatic given their issue, it just feels like it's a really surface level conclusion.
Shopify (SHOP) will be dead in 10 years. Maybe 8. Stripe might surive the decade, but doubtfull. Credit cards are on their way out. (I don't use them anymore. Fuck em.)
How do you charge back usually? You contact your credit card provider right? You don't just avoid paying your credit card... you contact the ones that credited you the money. In this case this is Affirm the creditor (I know you got 2 credits here, but that's a choice).

You got 2 contracts here, one to pay back a loan, an another with the merchant, and sadly, when you don't pay back a credit, it get on your credit report...

So the one to contact, is Affirm, just like the one to contact in case of issue with a payment you made, is your credit card provider, and not your bank.
SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE (but we're in the Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA area)

Impact Upgrade's calling is to be behind the scenes, using tech to enhance a nonprofit's reach and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on missional leaders. Services include a mix of consulting, systems integration/analysis/admin, data management, ongoing support, "virtual CTO", and engineering.

We're in need of additional help to manage a wide variety of tools, analyze existing systems and design more efficient solutions, and directly support organizations. There are certain areas that come up frequently and we're looking for specialists on part-time contracts!

- Salesforce, but not as a development and communication platform. We typically limit it to the database, reporting tools, process automation, etc. If you understand schemas and Object Builder, Flow, basic Apex, basic permissions/roles/profiles, data imports/migrations, and commonly-used rules, we'd love to chat.

- HubSpot, typically focused on the basics + Workflows.

- WordPress, not as a web designer or content manager, but the ins and outs of plugins, hardening, and untangling.

We're also looking for support roles to help us onboard and maintain other commonly-used platforms: Twilio, MailChimp, SendGrid, Stripe, Trello/Monday/ClickUp/Asana, Zapier, etc.

Wow, awesome to see what you're working on with Socket. I feel it's a much-needed tool.

One question though: how do you think https://socket.dev will compare to https://snyk.io/ and other similar tools? How do you differentiate yourself from competition in the space?

(I've been a big fan of yours since early WebTorrent days.)
Did this come of a research rabbit hole prompted by the missed Jeopardy question last night?
How else would that work, though? Thunderbird doesn't know what SMTP server and credentials to use without you telling it.
Check early ID software (from 91-97) and you will get a clear picture of how to do high quality, very efficient development:

- Small team in which everyone knows everyone else and the chemistry is right

- Clear objective, all team members own something, could be share or part of project, whoever falls behind got maybe one or two chances and then gets cut ruthlessly

- Team is working on challenging projects

Most teams simply do not satisfy even one.

Sorry that was a typo, thanks for catching it. Please re-read my comment replacing that phrase with just "site" and it should make sense to you.

If you find it still doesn't make sense, then don't hesitate to ask for more information. I'm sure it can be explained to you, in time.
> This idea that we shouldn’t pay people because they work in Government is insane. Peoples mistrust of government, but really it’s misguided.

Never worked in Federal (Federal Contracting... don't get me started) - but I did work for years in a regional water service. We had about a 50% haircut, probably worse and with worse work-life setup in any regard.

Easily 1/3 of our department were do-nothing folks skating to retirement. I'm not opposed to paying well, but for any policy proposal to do so we'd really have to find a way of cleaning house, finding and retaining good talent, and working to rid the place of folks not only "phoning it in" but truly abusing their employer.

> Complaining about what is wrong with each device incentivizes companies to make them better

Not really. Financial incentives incentivizes companies to make devices “better”. Additionally, adding more complexity and adding low level hooks for developers is likely to make things worst for the majority of users.
In the US, I remember it as ICQ coming first, then the next generation (mine) all used AIM, then at some point AIM and ICQ gained the ability to chat across networks (I think AOL bought them?).

"Sure retcons are inherently a silly idea, but if "silly people" includes courts and law enforcement is it really that silly?"

The key understanding is that silly people do not, here, include courts and law enforcement.

The thing the poster is trying to reference is the GDPR, and the GDPR does not offer this right with regard to other individuals.

What makes this silly is people pretending rights exist that actually do not.

Yes, but the speed at which the behavior spread (at least on Twitter) was clearly a sort of viral phenomenon, and certainly looked like a fad. Maybe it'll stick around if it's useful to enough people, maybe it won't, maybe application designers will figure out a way to include it in the user's avatar or encode it in some aspect of how a user's name is displayed, rather than overloading the friendly-name field or whatever Twitter calls it.
I'm not sure why you're making the claim that writing out a list is somehow "mob justice."

It's just documentation.
I'm a bit torn, tell you the truth.

But there is absolutely a difference between an easter egg, something that usually takes real effort to discover and trigger, and something that runs as part of normal execution.

In regards to the examples you give where it causes vulnerabilities or bugs, I think it can be a test if the software you're actually embedding the egg in needs to be improved. If an easter egg breaks something then that's probably indicative of a larger problem.

What you’re saying is undeniably true. At the same time when one considers high-tech as practiced by Silicon Valley and Seattle big tech companies and startups, it’s easy to see how people could become cynical towards work. Cultish company cultures, dishonest pontificating business leaders, market forces that incentivize disloyalty, undergirded by some truly unaffordable housing costs- it’s easy to see how people can get burned out by false promises of work, at least in this industry. It doesn’t help that tech is particularly preachy in its delusions of morality, unlike say, the financial industry.

And as with such industries or industry scenes where big amounts of money involved, as in Wall Street or Hollywood, people who get into Silicon Valley tend to view things through a purely transactional lens after a while. After all, that’s how these workplaces view them- not as repositories of higher meaning, but as interchange economic producers. Such is the nature of dumb money.
> I’ve seen an increasingly worrying trend of using downvotes to voice disagreement, rather than as the intended purpose as a kind of crowd-based moderation.

Actually Paul Graham did intend downvotes to express disagreement. The theory was that if people could express disagreement by downvoting there would be less people posting insubstantial comments to disagree.

I didn't see a rebuttal which substantially affected his argument. Most of it was the typical bandwagoning against his pop-style storytelling method. Very few disputes of fact. If Gladwell is guilty of anything it is to place a finely tuned modernly biased reference frame onto past events that did not/could not exist at the time but do become increasingly visible with the benefit of hind sight in a way that helps readers connect today with lessons from the past. Call that inauthentic if you will, but I think there are valuable insights to be gained and am glad he reaches such a wide audience in spite of the intellectual backlashing.

I really like what I see there. There is certainly a lot room above VS Code and Jetbrains IDEs.

- Both VS Code and Jetbrains IDEs have issues handling large files

- Both have only good not great usability. Jetbrains IDEs are actually very good but the huge feature set is becoming a problem even if you don't use all the stuff

- Both have their problems with with code intelligence. Jetbrains IDEs are mostly flawless but esp. Webstorm lags heavily regarding the support of some JS frameworks, e.g. Svelte, Vue 3 SFC and Tailwind CSS. The support is also going downhill with Jetbrains.

The price of 25$ is a no brainer. Totally fine for a good product.

EDIT: On second thought, I might consider it functionality:

People have application logs that are exposed to customers (so it would cause the company to appear to be taking a stance), or exported to other systems which only understand certain log messages, causing issues there.

I think the idea was more than just for display purposes.

There was an idea that the telephone-switching address space and public Internet could be combined, because the devices were converging towards each other. So an address in .tel would be a phone number, and also all active telephone numbers in the ISO numbering scheme would be valid addresses under .tel. You'd be able to put in DNS records to forward "friendly" names to phone numbers, and also set SIP endpoints for PSTN numbers.

It was never really clear who was going to run all this, i.e. would it be the phone company, or some outfit like Network Solutions / Verisign... and I think that's part of why it never really happened. And phone numbers and DNS remain separate address spaces.
