I maintain a C++ service running in production since 2015. I released Windows and Mac kernel drivers in 2012, both of which are still used in commercial products. My NAS runs a patched kernel because the stock dm-cache didn't offload burst writes onto SSD. I once built a virtual filesystem driver to run inside my PS2 so that I could exfiltrate in-game debug data over LAN. My most recent low-level project was PCB+Firmware for a digital camera.

But:

Ruby on Rails just has a much better bang for buck than C++ and customers know it. Powerful hardware is dirt-cheap these days, so nobody wants to pay for the extra +50% you get from C++ over JavaScript.

And if you want to be paid well, call your multi-threaded C++ calculations something like "CPU-accelerated AI deployment optimization" ;)

And lastly: Most embedded C/C++ jobs went to China! We used to design hardware and firmware in the west. But nowadays, you just book a Shenzhen shop to design, code, and produce your product. That's why nowadays almost every device has firmware with Chinese debug strings inside ^_^

Tell me, what do you consider "toxic masculinity"? You're not really presenting a frame for us to discuss this in.

>And it is typically more harmful for more people on average than the feminine expressions of same.

Yeah, no. This is borderline sexist. It's one thing to argue "the workplace only allows masculinity in its toxic form". It's another entirely to go "feminine better".

Actually, in the case I have direct knowledge of, this was direct subsidies to renters (via the Emergency Rental Assistance Program), who then repaid their landlords.

> If you want an economic system where property rights are ignored or where the government wholesale manages the economy then just come out and say it.

I believe we could have an economic system that is so rigid and inflexible that it can't respond sensibly to a crisis and instead forces society into a death spiral to protect capital, but that we're wiser than that.
Nah rvz doesn’t know what he is talking about. I’ve made several Lightning network payments that have bought real world food for folks around the world. He keeps echoing failure, but I have seen nothing but success. If he used any of this tech instead of just complaining, he might actually learn something.

The only thing that has failed is the detractors complaints, meanwhile actual things have happened in the world.

I've used both the opensource WSO2 and Keycloak. That latter is better designed and suffers fewer glitches, which is important when dealing with the complexities of oidc/oauth2. It's not that WSO2 doesn't do what it says on the tin; it works. Keycloak just works so well it's almost fun.

One feature Keycloak lacks compared to WSO2 is SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management). That actually matters to me. There is a third party Keycloak extension[1] that implements SCIM, but I can't speak to it.

They aren't always great books. They're better now, but I remember over 25 years ago I bought "DNS & BIND" (Bat Book).

It was so full of forward references that I just couldn't comprehend it, and I'm no stranger to technical content.

The later edition is better.

> Tailscale investor here. I can assure you we share the same vision.

Outside of say, Garry Tan and Leo Polovets, who could be considered regulars, it’s rare that an investor shows up in the HN comments. Hi!

Your comment is reassuring, but the reality is that other investors will look at their portfolio companies, review the competitive landscape, then decide that they no longer share the vision, in the not too distant future.
Name names. I think we are doing ourselves injustices not to name name's here. If Google, or Meta (Facebook) or whatever has terrible cultural practices as you describe, I think we as a community owe it to ourselves to call it out.

This also otherwise rings a little hollow without specific things to backup the assertion. I think being direct forces us to have the real conversation.
The linked article doesn't entirely accurately describe the new restriction. This restriction only applies to apps that are sideloaded via a user-supplied APK file, and only if the app that's doing the sideloading hasn't implemented the session-based package installation API. Apps like Files by Google and APKMirror Installer, neither of which are app stores, will not trigger this behavior when sideloading other apps, because both use the session-based API.

I mention the [full nuances of this change over on Esper](https://blog.esper.io/android-13-sideloading-restriction-har...), which is the source linked to in the Android Police article.

I think GTK3 was the sweet spot. I used GNOME 3 for a while on the desktop and it was really nice once you tossed some extensions in (and replaced the ugly Adwaita colorscheme). Then I updated to GNOME 40 and felt physical repulsion, so I moved to Plasma, probably for good. I'd love to explore the timeline where the maintainers didn't axe a ton of features/support and instead focused on doing their own thing really well. Now all we have is a lame Mac clone, and they can't even deny it anymore.

It's great to see more solutions in this space, and congratulations on launching and open sourcing it. Is it possible to explain why it matters to an end users? The Why We Built It section seems solely focus on implementation and what matters to the team.

> First, we needed something embeddable for Go

I'm not sure why it matters if I just need to store and analyze large quantity of profiling data, but let me assume this matters to the creator of the db.

> The second and more pressing argument was: in order for us to be able to translate the label-based data-model to a table-based layout, we needed the ability to create columns whenever we see a label-name for the first time.

Why does this matter to me, an end user? Does it make ingestion faster? Does it make query faster? Does it support higher throughput compared with M3DB or Netflix Atlas or FB Gorilla? Does it make distributed query more scalable? Does it enable the support of higher cardinality and more dimensions? Does it enable more expressive aggregations or query semantics in general? Does it enable the db to model data beyond multi-dimensional timer series?
For a blue hat, it either is or isn't blue (and there's some rather strong evidence - whether or not it looks blue). Like, with a sequence of 6 digits, if you don't know whether the source was random or not, then that's like NOT showing me your hat, and asking me whether it's red or blue.

For a single sequence of six digits, it might or might not have come from a random source. You can't get any edge on that judgement by just inspecting the sequence. Only inspecting the source (the hat, if you like) can give you an advantage. Perhaps you're colour-blind, or the lighting is weird; so there's still uncertainty. But that's equivalent to examining the source of the digits, determining that it's really a random source, but making a mistake in your determination. That's uncertainty on a different level.

Red-pill blue-pill is a sort of meta-uncertainty.

> "is one of the sequences such that it is rational to choose it over the other as being random"

Most people don't care about this shit; it doesn't matter to them what random means, nor whether it's sequences or sources that can be said to be random. But for some people it does matter, and they have to try to use language precisely.

All [red|blue] hats are either red or blue. But no sequence is random or non-random; it's the source of the sequence (the process, if you like) than can be random or non-random.

If 111111 is emitted by a random process, then you can call that a "random sequence" if you like. If I emit 126692 from my ass (not a random process), that's not a "random sequence" in any sense, whatever statistical properties it has. You can't tell which is of random origin by inspection. The experimental subjects face an impossible challenge, and I can't see what conclusions you can draw from their responses.

In fact is just the opposite. Consumerist is not about stars, is somebody that consume, buy things that don't need necessarily, pay for things like software licenses.

Open source people share freely and built things, fork orphaned software to improve it, or recycle old computers instead to trow it to the dumpster. They are a fiercely anti-consumerist movement by nature.

There many reasonable arguments against Bitcoin and this is not one of them. Many valuables have no or barely any intrinsic value, their value is based on rarity. Bitcoin guarantees that rarity.

If Bitcoin was inconsequential all the worst people wouldn't be coming out against it and governments across the globe wouldn't be actively trying to stop it.

Tesla adds the center screen tilting function to the new Model S and Model X
They already (sort of) do [0] as they have a "Personal Pro" plan that's not too obvious - personally, I hope they expand to make it more cloud-native via a la carte pricing for those users as I'd pay an extra $x/month for an additional subnet router or three. And, IMO, it's a smart approach - those who are the targeted "Prosumer" might leverage this for their homelab and carry it over with them into the enterprise. I say that it's a smart approach because in my time at a vendor that was slinging security middle boxes - we used to give away our small form factor product to those homelab'ers for free. They'd take them home and see how much the solution could provide, they got comfortable with the UI, and they learned it for their own use cases. And then the path into an enterprise conversation held much less friction.

I feel like VR will only ever be a niche thing since my theory is people, in general, don't like wearing stuff (goggles, 3D glasses) over their eyes for long periods of time for pure entertainment.

Your last statement intrigues me though: "use projectors to paint over the physical world and create visions that people can share" I wonder if video sampling, much like audio sampling for music, could propel AR into mainstream uses in that regard.

Take video game content for example, if sampling were allowed, an indoor go-kart track properly setup (walls, projectors, go-kart mods, etc.) could have themed racing nights: Mario Kart, Pole Position, etc. It would have to be slightly different, like a banana peel could decelerate for a couple seconds safely instead of spinning off track. I suppose a helmet with goggle overlay would be much cheaper to implement though.

By whom? My understanding of the situation was that landlords did not get a subsidy to make up for lost rents or being unable to evict non-paying tenants. Back-rent would be nice, but is not likely, especially with up to 12 months worth.

> the problem is that Google promotes people for "solving hard problems" not for solving USEFUL problems.

This is the real problem, but people typically underestimate difficulty of correctly identifying "useful" problems at scale. Fixing a bug is nice, but correctly prioritizing bugs worth fixing is harder than said because most cases relevant engineers have limited contexts on UX and PM also has limited contexts on its difficulty. I don't deny that big techs have a bias toward solving "interesting" problems, but in many cases seemingly simple bugs are not that really easy to solve while not making any dent on business.
He was trash talking Tesla for a long time because his friend Warren Buffet invested in Chinese copy cats. He could have helped Tesla in 2008 a lot, but now his opinion and money doesn't count that much actually, as there's a healthy clean energy investor base at this point.

I guess perhaps you are working with some very obfuscated code, still if you are black box profiling code it might make sense to crack open that box as much as possible. Unless what you are working with is DRM-level "performs like cow dung in a blender" horrifically inefficient, I can't imagine it is obfuscated that badly.

At any rate, hopefully you are paid well for it, reverse engineering is difficult, to say the least.

By the time I was done writing Perl, my Perl looked a lot like Python.

It's also why I'm not really all that sympathetic to "but $NEWLANG doesn't let me write something that extracts from a hash and then map all the elements with an inline anonymous function, filter the results, and then invoke them all and put the results in a single array all in one line!". I worked for decades, plural, in languages that did permit that, and what I learned is that the more professional the code gets, the less you should be doing that. By the time you've broken it out in a way that won't confuse everyone, giving all the intermediate values professional-quality names and adding a few comments, it turns out the delta between Perl and things like Java or Go or other such "stodgy" languages has closed a lot. Not 100%, by any means, but closer, and in the meantime those stodgier languages have been steadily closing the gap from their end too. In the meantime I get a lot of value from the static guarantees those languages have.
Given Canada's unbanking of people who disagree with their dictator it's a little insulting to call that paranoia.

it only means that really rich people are hiding their wealth and all the others are slightly less poor than they declare.

remember that GDP per capita is an average, meaning that a good amount of people in the country earn much less than that.

People in Salvador are actually quite poor, regardless of how much "informal" economy is going on in the country.

edit: I woould actually argue that an high volume of unofficial economy is a strong indicator that the country has a very weak economy in general. You can find the same conditions in all the poorer countries in the world, except maybe dictatorships such as North Korea ( we actually can't tell, because we don't have access to their economic indicators)
