> "The tech to even conceive of building a metaverse is at least 10 years away."

Zuck knows this. He's spending $10-15 billion per year on this tech with the goal of having a compelling consumer experience ready in 2030 — still optimistic, but not outrageously so.

I'm not sure if being early will work for Meta. One could look at Symbian which was very early in the smartphone market, with major investments into a power-efficient C++ based OS and GUI API already in 1996. They got app-capable devices with relatively good graphics and resistive touchscreens in the market early, but all that R&D then became a boat anchor when the iPhone happened and Symbian's embedded-style paradigm was immediately obsolete.
See this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUqB-luawZg It kind of works but this is a very very difficult problem to solve.
They seem to have the ability to update their platform more than once every 18 years.

Duarte tries that in The Expanse and it doesn't go so well.
For my family, I prefer the more positive connotation of "building an Ark for the inevitable flood" or the classic "make hay while the sun shines". Both of which can be healthy if done right.

As for the information loops you mention, that's why discernment is now more important than access. But I wouldn't blame media/games/the internet entirely for our perception of the state of the world.

I grew up upper-middle-class in the 90s with all the optimism that came with it, school plays about how great the future is going to be, in 6th grade choir they actually made us sing a really cringe song called "We are the people of the 21st century" basically about how awesome the future is going to be, link if you want a listen (https://www.musick8.com/html/current_tune.php?songorder=5&nu...).

Well fast forward 22 years since I was forced to sing that, and at least here in the US, everything you need to live a middle class life (housing, education, healthcare, even food these days) is substantially, sometimes multiple times more expensive than it used to be, and wage growth has been stagnant. Meanwhile we've lived through several "once in a generation" crises. All of which we were not simply unprepared for, we were explicitly told the opposite was going to happen our whole lives. It wasn't really until the GFC that the facade started to crack.

There will be "a future" for us, but it's not guaranteed positive anymore, particularly on an individual level. I'm in the process of spinning up lifestyle businesses I don't particularly like in addition to my 9-5 so my kids to have what my dad could afford with just his 9-to-5. And I'm one of the lucky ones to even have that possibility.

I'm also sticking close to family, for the time being I'm refusing to move anywhere out of the US NorthEast corridor and surrounding regions. I'm lucky to have largely supportive family, and I'd be foolish to abandon that resource for a job I "might" like better 1000 miles away, especially if things are going to get worse before they get better. A recession is basically baked in at this point, although it's impossible to say exactly when.

Maybe things will get better, but don't bet on it. If there's one thing current events do bear out: Complacency kills.
I'm pretty happy that Microsoft is paying attention to these little things (terminal performance) that have a big impact on developers.
Can you share any more information about that? Is this identifier shared as part of the FIDO2/U2F spec?
Their issue was not the naming for consumer or tech user, their issue was "how do we allow any random laptop from claiming latest usb despite not actually supporting it".

It was super obvious with usb 3 and its sub versions, and it gets even worse with 4.
This is showing all users worldwide. Surely US teens were ahead of the curve.
I recalled reading somewhere that Einstein's idea of "God" has its origin to Spinoza's. Can someone familiar with the topic please point me to a related book?

Smartphones are to blame. The ubiquity of easy distraction causes these problems, not any one distraction in particular.

If kids (and adults) only had phone/tablet access for an hour a day this problem would cease to exist. But for some reason that has become unthinkable
I wasn't implying the Chinese government actually directly runs the business. Instead the business has a contact in the government who at times may make decisions for the business. In the case of Chinese businessmen visiting the US it literally took the form of a CCP member who shadowed them at all times, participating in all meetings and potentially censoring communications.

They never actually stepped in and did anything, presumably because the businessmen aren't dumb enough to say something like "what can you tell me about Tiananmen Square?"
I hope I don't come across as too negative! Sure I'd love to see some improvements here, and they would help adoption amongst hobbyists / home users, but I totally understand focusing on the features needed to make the business work first.

The existing open source functionality for the overlay network itself is (for me) what's really exciting, and it's all there. The management limitations just keep me from evangelizing more broadly (outside of places like HN).
It still breaks the NDA:

* Firstly, you don't have to name the company to break the NDA anyway (you are still disclosing information you aren't supposed to disclose regardless of if it can be linked back to the company).

* Secondly, the client is still named on the front page of the website.

* Thirdly, OP posted this with his real name that trivially links back to the dev shop he is working for. The site also has his CV which lists the client again, with a description of the project to link it to the post.

* Finally, The client can trivially be identified by googling the description in the second paragraph (i.e. just search the named countries in operation plus the word Gym).
"because I believe in the power of individual choices? "
"The embodied energy of a person's collection of tech absolutely does sit in the same ballpark as heating and transportation energy costs."

You believe in silly ideas like this because you never bothered tp grab a calculator. If you did, you would know that embodied energy of all you electronics in a couple 1000 megajoules. Thats the same as two tanks of petrol, and all you life choices add up to nothing.

We've been at this 'individual responsebility' crap for 50 years. They've got you right where they want tou.
Yeah, I think exporting a scene from blender as glft/glb, and then using these tools to bring your exported 3D file to the web, is one of the more approachable abstractions.

The reason you'd use gltfjsx (which that example doesn't) is to have fine grained controls for every node in the scene graph. In the case of the watch, this would map to having a component for each mesh or gear, which can be controlled with mechanics/physics.
“Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.”
He wasn’t asking them to refactor their internal code bases. But they should be able to whip up the 20 lines of code needed to do this between APIs (or just directly on their servers). Essentially what author was trying to do when he screwed up. For the author this was disposable code, for Vimeo this would have been a reusable utility.

I know how these things happen. Support ticket queues and all. And while I don’t fully know the difference in cost, I would assume a customer upgrading to an Enterprise plan would get a better support experience.

Whoever within authors company negotiated the upgrade to Enterprise (or didn’t) and failed to embed some agreement around OTT to Enterprise transition assistance was the one who made the first mistake.
The sort of environment you're describing only applies to a certain socio-economic strata of the United States; specifically upper and upper-middle class suburban America. Most children do not have that experience.

I'm sure depression is more acute in that population but even poor teens are growing up with social media.
Yodlee is the lesser evil here... it still disconnects accounts frequently and data is only pulled every ~12 hours.

I'm the co-founder of Realize (https://realizefi.com/), we tried using all of these APIs for our first app and found them to be super broken. Our API uses a mix of brokerages public and private APIs, which allows us to provide reliable connections and pull data in real time.
> I know about Twitter Spaces, but I haven't come across any yet. When Clubhouse came, suddenly everything around me was happening on Clubhouse.

This is very much because of your specific social network, and I'm wildly intrigued to know more general notes about it out of curiosity.
I had to look that film up[1]. It's not a Disney movie so I don't see how that would apply here.

Mine was a DELETE FROM Users; WHERE... Fun was had.
Exactly. By 2018 around 95% of teens used social media. We would thus expect the trends to have spiked more before then rather than after. Instead we see a linear trend.

Anyone else worry that we don't really need everything "port to porch" in two days? It's impressive logistics, but I worry about the environmental impact when we so strongly stress urgency over efficiency.

Or are there ways to make rapid home deliveries efficient in ways I don't comprehend?
> Scripting languages allow business logic to be written faster and cheaper. The scripting languages (Python, Ruby, Lua, Shell, Perl, Smalltalk, JavaScript) are pretty similar.

That is a pretty bold statement to that scripting languages allow business logic to be written faster and cheaper. I think that it depends completely on the size and complexity of your business logic, and on whether you factor in the cost of maintaining that software over time.
> Oh gosh... your raw bio-metrics are never stored anywhere...

right, who would do that... i mean for what purpose...
scary. maybe as well just pay vimeo to restore data.
Because they want to make lots of money without investing in re-creating a tool with a better workflow, they know they'll probably get it wrong a second time. So it's better to transfer the technical debt to devs.
Python never succeeded in scripting. Shell still dominates scripting today. Perl is rooted in scripting.

There was a period of time where a google engineer was producting review on amazon about which usb-c cable would make your laptop burn. That was fun, and totally not the sign of an overbloated standard.
You have a backup $30 hardware key on your keychain, or you don't log in - same way you can't log in if you don't have your 2fa device nowadays.

What campaign to end genetic research into Autism? I must have missed it. Personally, as someone with hEDS, I wish there was more genetic research into it.

Edit: found it, End Spectrum 10K. There seems to be a concern with negative eugenic screening which I kind of get. My ‘touch of autism’ seems to be a bit of a career advantage but I do worry about the possibility of having a more severely afflicted child. I think more good than harm will come from these studies.
I've been off Facebook for about 2 years now and I've not seen any damage to my social life. Maybe its because I had a robust handful of hobbies that helped me make friends in the wild or something else I don't know but it sounds more like a problem you need to solve, not rely on social media.
The indomitable frumiousirc is incredibly incorrect.
I recently spun up Google Cloud Run as an alternative. GCP has PITR for postgres.

The only weird hitch with Google Cloud Run (and their other serverless products) is you either need to either use public IPs for e.g. memory store cache or other things in your network (minus your database), or set up a VPC Access Connector [0]. Admittedly, that was easy once I realized I needed it, but was very annoying to figure out (because django's default redis socket timeout is never...).

You also don't get SSH access, as it's fully managed. K8s is still the easiest version where you get that, unfortunately.

I love this move by Shopify. As a merchant (in Canada, where typical shipping prices are extortionate) I'd love to give Shopify more money (but presumably less than we pay 3rd party shippers) for better overall delivery service for my customers.

As a buyer, I'd love to spend more with not-Amazon and get comparable service.

I'm increasingly disappointed with Amazon. It's full of knockoff crappy products with unrelated 5 star reviews. That eroding trust in Amazon is pushing me to smaller brands who have a face and stand behind their product for key purchases. This move by Shopify will just accelerate that transition away from Amazon.

Just waiting for the search bar to shop every Shopify store so I have a viable alternative to Amazon to buy whatever I need.
I scored a 6 and I'm unable to answer number 2...
But isn't the "thing" about FIDO (or maybe just security keys?) that the domain is also integrated into the challenge the client/key has to solve?

So from what I understand a attacker couldn't as easily fish me by pretending e.g. to be Google.
With a password or even a TOTP code the attacker could just pose as Google and forward the credentials to the actual site.
It's actually horrible! Even key rotation is horrible!

My yubikey is getting to about 10 years old, and I have replacements for it but find it very difficult to switch. It will eventually fail as an things do and it will be problematic.

The problem is that I have several dozen accounts connected to it and I don't know all of them. So either I'm carrying and trying multiple keys at all times or not getting into a site that haven't been rotated yet.

Multiple keys on an all sites is also basically impossible. You need to register all the keys, and ideally those keys are in different places.
How does that apply to 13 years old kids?
On the types of projects I mentioned, and I assume to an even greater degree for spaceships, the details are in the spec, which is stamped by an engineer. If you're installing a curb, all of the dimensions are there, the finish on each side, how far below ground it goes, what type of gravel goes under it, the mortar you use to set it, and it will say what kind of granite is specified. If you want to change any of that, you need to get approval (and probably won't).

This isn't software where you have hand-wavy goals written by people with no training and can refactor when your tests fail :)

A million times better than your comment.
This is only true if the young ones in question are in a psychologically safe and emotionally supportive environment.

I read things as a young child, without having the support to talk and parse them out, and additionally on top of the chaotic environment I was already in, where reading things like Animal Farm, or, specifically in my case, being introduced to the concept of destructive extinction events in books, movies, and magazines caused much trauma. I had a year where I didn't sleep well, until I could finally convince myself that aliens weren't going to get me in the shower, and that a giant meteor wasn't going to collide with earth any time soon (yet, at least).
Last time I looked at SQRL, it had an unfixable man-in-the-middle problem.

Though, general acceptance of QR Codes does seem to have finally taken off.
They backtracked pretty quickly after the prices continued their meteoric rise.

Now they've replaced it with a tax-free savings account for first-time buyers.

Nothing like subsidizing high prices so they go even higher.
that's unfair :=)

The calculations is based on the machine instructions, the compiled code by the JIT is able to perform on average. In this case a simple 32-Bit machine with OpenRISC architecture.

For the proof of concept, that was the compiled code in [1]. Just look for code snipplets such as "cycles = cyles - xxxx|0", that does the calculation during runtime.

So, my calculation does not include decoding, but CPU state, memory access/mapping, buses.

Twitter did not.

It can be argued that Clubhouse didn't even totally miss it, though I have doubts about their long-term.

Anyway, who do you think did hit the mark?
Let me try and put it in a way hackers might understand: you're putting a buggy and out-of-date program with lots of exposed network ports and PII on the Internet with no firewall. We're all adults and can come to our own conclusions about the morality of this decision, but I think we can all agree deploying un-optimized code to prod is in poor taste.
Since there are a lot of C/++ people in this thread, I figured I should swing this job posting at y'all:

https://flagshipbio.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=79&source=...

I'm in no way affiliated with the company, but my friend is (honest!). They have had a heck of a time finding a person for the role. Comp maxes out at ~$120k, remote is just fine. If anyone is good with C++ and would like to transition to the bio side of things, this role may be for you.
If someone is a descendent of white slaves and they want to be proud of how that group overcame their predicament, they wouldn't say they're proud to be white (not only because it would raise eyebrows, but because it's not nearly precise enough), they'd say they're proud to be Slavic or whatever the case may be, right? And hopefully that doesn't raise eyebrows.
We have a section for exactly this in our docs: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/patterns#wildcard-cer...

Hope that helps!
OpenAlex seems to be a really useful alternative to Scopus and Web of Science. Although I found that their author-disambiguation is not as good as the one from Scopus.

I would like to see that they make it easier to download database dumps. Their json-based format seems to contain a lot of redundant information. A compressed dump should not be much bigger than 20...30 GB (Theirs is 200GB, according to https://docs.openalex.org/download-snapshot/download-to-your... )
I know what you mean, my assumption is that quicker (on-demand) delivery requires more vehicle miles than a slower, batched delivery.
This is HUGE. A direct hit to Amazon, nice move Shopify!
"To summarize: scripting languages are useful, but they’re all pretty much the same, "

Yeah ... I'm just going to have to go ahead and um disagree about that.

But I agree with the point that a higher level and well defined universal container/vm can be valuable. I think it'll be wasm-based though, not js.
The point is commitment allows you to optimise cost of baseline capacity. The only real benefits of the cloud are one cost centre, scale out without capex.

Quite frankly if you’re in the cloud you’re locked in one way or another.

I have, the interview ended fast.
Amazon’s catalog quality and customer service is going downhill very fast. Shopify has a real opportunity to fill that void.

Amazon was known for maintaining high quality of their catalogue. But since opening up their store front for third party sellers it’s resembling flee market by the day. For example they had a very strict policy of one product one page I.e Single Detail Page (SDP), indexed by ASIN. But now exact same product has multiple ASINs. You don’t know if it’s a fake or genuine.

Circumcised people aren’t castrated. Castration makes you infertile. Circumcision doesn’t.

(Infant circumcision is morally wrong, because it is a medically unnecessary surgery done without consent, but it doesn’t make you infertile.)
You can install 3rd party roms but skip the rooting part to not mess with SafetyNet.
Hell, GitHub does that to an extent, with the "type the name of this repository to delete it" prompts. Typing the name of the repository isn't exactly perfect, but it's an interesting direction.
That's exactly why I don't use 2FA.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You sound like a really inexperienced engineer, let alone CTO, that has never seen technology trends come and go, and sometimes you bet on the wrong horse.

I have been using Craft to run my newsletter, Tedium (https://tedium.co), since the start of 2019. I moved from Ghost, which at the time was not really designed for newsletters at all. I find Craft an amazing tool when I want to add new things—a big difference from Ghost, where everything is just kind of set for you and you have to rely on external integrations to expand functionality. I custom-code my emails and integrate design directly into the email, so that eventually became a nonstarter for me.

Just as an example, I handle sponsorships by creating a category and adding it to my workflow. My email templates are designed using MJML—and I can create secondary views that allow me to view the completed template and copy the raw code of the email into the newsletter platform of my choice. (I could even run the newsletter soup to nuts via plugins, though I prefer to pay someone for that right for support reasons.)

The plugin ecosystem is relatively strong, but I will point out that some of the plugins are paid—and at least one has gone commercial after previously being open-source.

I did a lot of research into CMS platforms (static site, monolithic, flat file, and so on) that I felt could get me to this point where I could have a CMS that simplified the production process of building a twice-weekly email, and Craft got me closest.

So I’m happy to see Craft continue to evolve. It’s a great tool and I recommend it highly.
More and more I see non-tech companies doing tech things. I think the era of "tech eating the world" meaning "tech puts you out of business" is almost over. Lots of traditional companies got the memo and now have competent engineering leadership.

I'm not saying this is an end of "innovator's dilemma", just that the internet and having software engineers as a part of your org aren't it anymore.

I appreciate your response! It’s honestly helpful to hear that people who are more accomplished than I am can also struggle with sight reading.

One piece of advice that I received elsewhere in this thread that may also apply to you is to sight read as many pieces as you can at an easier skill level than your current proficiency and accept that you’ll make tons of mistakes.

Personally, I’m going to buy a few thrift store “learning piano” books to try this out.
