This makes sense. But how do I as a basic user make sure the signature is correct and definitely from Deno? Couldn’t a hacker sign it with their own signature?
Only a little bit. I've worked primarily with big tech and startups. We've always had top of the line equipment. No one blinked at the fully spec'd Macbook Pros, 34" monitors, standing desks, and 2,000 USD ergonomic chairs.
Steam them till they're soft and saute them briefly in olive oil with some turmeric and garlic... Now I want carrots.

Same. I could totally go for a big ole bowl of carrots tonight after work. Guess it's time for a quick side-trip to the grocery store on the way home tonight.
AP1000 remains attractive option for US market, says MIT
Good news they didn't in those cases then, hopefully they will this time.
I didn't say it removes state. I said it split the state up and isolated it. That's critically important - you physically can not mutate state across a network, you have to pass messages from one system to the other over a boundary, either via some protocol like TCP or via intermediary systems like message brokers.

Joe Armstrong talks about this better than I'm going to:
https://youtu.be/lKXe3HUG2l4?t=1438

That timestamp is rough, I just found a related section of the talk.

> And the network-defined state is a hell of a lot harder to trace and debug.

There's no such thing as network-defined state. I assume you're saying that it's harder to debug bugs that span systems, which is true, but not interesting since that's fundamental to concurrent systems and not to microservices.
My standard view is, you should be able to read just the headlines and have some clue about what is happening. Modern marketing means headlines have gone to absolute trash. You can't tell product updates from just stupid SEO spam articles (tips to do x with y). You can't tell product intros from outros.

I do like AWS style announcements. Their headlines are a bit long, but skimming them it's the what, and then the tag

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/

For week in review I wish they did parens for services - ie, Week in review (RDS, IAM, ECS).

Some services are basically dead from an updates perspective, others like RDS seem to have pretty solid budgets.
I only pay for Netflix because it is ad free. I would simply go back to torrenting everything and tossing it on a hard drive attached to the tv.
> It's an unacceptable solution but it seems to me that the US is just too big and splitting it up would make more sense.

We already have this. The divisions are called states. And it's solid argument for a weaker federal government.
It only takes 6 months nowadays!
Apple Maps is objectively superior to Google Maps, especially when it comes to directions and vehicular navigation. Fite me.
No, it's physically impossible. You have causal consistency across services, not within services.

Not the ones at YC though.
I forget where I was reading/listening to it (may well have been a podcast), but I recall someone talking about printing out tiny artwork for NFC tags and configuring them in such a way that scanning them played the one album printed on it. I thought that was super neat—still got the convenience of digital music, but it is still a deliberate action as you describe.
Oh. I have no idea how autocorrect transmogrified "the one that counts" into "the one that uaefzl".
That's because Apple Maps uses Yelp as its POI database, and Yelp isn't impartial, business owners can pay to be higher up in the search results, and to remove negative reviews.

Changing their POI source to something else would be the single biggest improvement Apple could make to Maps.
Without government we had a choice, and we chose to create governments.

Government was not dropped on our heads by the robber barons, it has been invented and re-invented throughout human history by regular people who need to solve problems.

> Humans can organize themselves quite well when they have maximum choice as individuals.

Yes, and then you’ll need a word to describe the collective actions of the organized humans. One such word is “government.”

I wholeheartedly agree, but sadly the Federalists "won" this power struggle long ago.
I've been a member of the ACLU since probably 1996, and have always admired the ACLU, so I'm not some johnny-come-lately GenZ wanting the ACLU to be something different than a past ACLU I don't like.

And I still love the ACLU. I don't think they have lost their way or changed their values. I don't agree with every thing the national or state ACLU's do (never have), but I think what they are doing now is upholding and further the core values they have always had, I don't see it as a departure, and in fact I think the things they are doing that look like changes are steps to better uphold their fundamental core values, I think they are steps in the right direction, I'm very happy with the direction they are going.

I'm not even sure I entirely follow what this article is complaining about.
(not sure who downvoted or why btw, even if I disagree on some points your comment is constructive and the conclusion, using something with more modern encryption, makes sense. If only people would comment when they downvote...)

> have a residential IP, meaning you're almost certain to get blacklisted fairly quick.

That's not how that works. Either they block residential IPs or they don't. It's not that they only notice you're hosting residentially by the distinctly green smell of your email and only then ban you.

I've not had much trouble myself with this, only a handful of systems across more than a decade of use by multiple people. From a residential IP.

> hoops you need to run through to keep your server whitelisted

Aside from sending spam, how does it become un-whitelisted? (I'm assuming you're referring to "off blacklists" when you say whitelisted btw, as I've never seen a whitelist implementation).
A recommendation, apropos of this discussion on window management: three finger swipe up on the trackpad for Mission Control/Exposé if you need a specific window. I know trackpads are below most programmers but I’ve found this is faster than hammering alt-tab on Windows if you have a lot of stuff open. Still use Cmd-tab and Cmd-` most of the time though.
I'm glad the FAA is clamping down on these... I don't want one of these falling on my house because someone forgot to set the environment variables.
I think one can control the degree to which software architecture reflects the org chart. To take an extreme example, Chrome is primarily a single, giant (~200 MB) binary. I'm sure the layout of the source repositories reflects the Chrome org chart. But thankfully, they always had the engineering discipline to produce the architecture that was best for performance (a monolith, albeit a multi-process one) without letting it get out of control.
> If you would step out of your bubble, you would realize how terrible Apple Maps is aside from a few blessed regions.

Okay, but I'm trying to get around inside this blessed region, so you'll forgive me being happy that there's an option that works here without being Google.
Ehhhh I distinctly remember being around 10 years old, getting a miniature landline phone [1], and dialing 911. Then my parents had to explain to the operator that there was no emergency and how sorry they were. Kids do dumb things.

Tell HN: Reminder: Google your name, scrub your credit sensitive information
Periodically I search for my name on the internet. I can't clearly remember, but I'm pretty sure I took the appropriate measures to prevent my private information from being sold years ago. So I was surprised and angered when I found it all openly listed for free.

A few days ago I googled (yes, google.com. DDG didn't return the website for me) my name and the 3rd-4th result was fastpeoplesearch.com with ALL of my previous addresses, past phone numbers, past roommates, an old email address, and all of my immediate family members. I don't own property, so only a handful of companies I interact with could be selling all this info.

I changed phone numbers 5 years ago and my current number isn't listed, but my current address is (over a year here). No utilities are in my name. This is so frustrating.

How can I put an end to this permanently?

Anyways, if you have ever ordered one of your free credit reports, some of the security questions are your past addresses. I think other soft ID verifications use this info to IIRC, but its been awhile.

If you find your name on fastpeoplesearch.com, scroll down to the bottom and click "Do not sell my personal information" and follow the instructions.
The biggest anti-feature of google maps by far is the 'Change Car Icon' popup when you tap anywhere remotely close to your blue nav icon.

Oh, trying to tap to take an alternate route on the map? Want to tap to add a gas station stop to your route? Sorry, the touch target is too close to your nav icon, but hey at least you can cycle through 3 different car styles endlessly. What a waste of resources.
You drop in “…or a network failure” like it’s a rare occurrence that’s easy to handle.
I recall when Trump was elected a huge amount of money went to the ACLU and that is when they really took a turn towards who was paying them. Recall this was the organization that would represent white supremacists as an absolutist for free speech.

Conservatives have historically had problems with free speech when it came to things they view as contrary to "family values", and later on with Trump branding the press as "The enemy of the people". But in the last 5-10 years liberals have as well had a problem with free speech with things they determine is "hate speech".

So now there aren't many people left that support the cause of absolute free speech regardless of whether you agree or disagree, and we have the ACLU catering more towards liberal causes and less on free speech cases.
>If you’re presenting, leave more time for questions than you’re supposed to.

My personal corollary to that: when you're preparing a talk, focus less on trying to get all your findings across and more on what questions you want the audience to ask you. The least interesting talks are those that are unfocused and overwhelm the audience with a firehose of information. The most engaging talks are those that guide the audience to ask interesting questions.
I can't recall as it has been a number of years, but my impression was that the young bell maker was lying about his father having given him the "secret" to making the bell, hence the anxiety about the success of the project. Am I misremembering that, or was I just not reading it correctly?
I find it almost impossible to read street names, park names, etc on Google Maps.
Did you put that video in your "watch later" list?
Long time! Maybe we should wait until Dan back over, get the old gang together, and see if we can finally agree on a restaurant.
And if it's a program display it in some fashion where it can be selected so you can ^c^v it rather than have to retype it. Such errors are all too often displayed on non-selectable labels.

Bonus points to the mythical developer that includes a google-this button on the error display.

Not to mention the outright spam.

Just the same, all of the performance metrics are built into a sales commission. Does an "influencer" have fake followers? Doesn't matter if they only earn commissions. They either sell or they don't.

"Coffee is for closers"
In the security model section it doesn't mention workers. In Deno, workers can be given different permissions. The article suggests having different permissions per file. I think it might be nice to have both but if I could only have one I would want separate permissions per worker. Files aren't always split along the same lines that permissions should be split. I would like to be able to control permissions by url prefix though - so some library doesn't do more than I want it to. It might mean setting up a worker if I want to make sure it doesn't indirectly use more dependencies.
Thanks for sharing more of your perspective.

I just can't imagine what conversations happened inside the organization, where they were willing to ghost write for Heard and sell off a position to her, then switch to taking money from the other side; all of this in a completely private dispute with no public interest on either side, other than visibility. This whole situation seems absurd to me.

Were they desperate for money? Or fans of Amber Heard? Or were they swept up in enthusiasm about a high-profile case of spousal abuse? I am not aware of the ACLU taking a general position on defamation suits between private parties in the past.
> At the core, you trust scientists. As you should.

I trust science — not scientists — as a method for continually refining our knowledge of the truth.

I also clearly don’t subscribe to your faith-based orthodoxy, because it’s anti-scientific.

However, I’m not going to use words like “should”, or posit what you should do, because I’m not selling you a religion.

> How do you know lead is unsafe to consume?

The scientific method. I don’t have to trust scientists, just science. The lead toxicity hypothesis is falsifiable, and the empirical results in support of said hypothesis are extensively, independently reproduced.

Nah - cracking down on child abuse remains the best way to get anything done. That is how Florida officials sold HB 1557 and it continues to be a mainstay, especially, in the UK.
Deno is Node on a middle-endian architecture (see: the NUXI problem).
Apple Maps has been good for a while now (3 years?) at least on core functionality (navigation, street names). I would say in terms of navigation, Apple Maps is superior to Google Maps. Apple Maps is more accurate about which lane to be in, shows the stoplights to pass before crucial turns, and labels the streets to skip over before turning near your destination.

They don't have the same content features of Google Maps yet. You may have noticed Apple integrates with Yelp to provide you with feedback on restaurants and points of interest, but in my opinion Yelp is unreliable. Also since Google cares less about marketing a pro-privacy stance, Google shows you how busy locations are, which can be useful.

On a more neutral note, it would be nice if either Map app re-routed common commute routes based on traffic incidents. Anyone who commutes down a contraflow lane knows that an accident in that lane makes it worse than the main route.
Seems like some beef liver + 125g of sunflower seeds per day covers vitamins A, E, K, B12, and also magnesium.

It doesn't seem impossible to eat a diet to cover everything. But it seems very difficult to do it properly by mistake.
No, this is the cheaper decent-quality option available at practically any big box grocer in the states:

https://www.amazon.com/Season-Sardines-Water-Added-4-375-Oun...

The high Omega-3 content is advertised right on the box. Sardines are considered by many as a "super food". Sustainable, low on the food chain, great nutrient profile...

Re: in olive oil, I don't know about you but I'm not interested in drinking olive oil.

Packed in water is pleasant to drink, it's like drinking fish broth. Not to mention it's far less calories, oil is calorie dense. Nor do they generally use high-quality single source oils in canned fish, that oil is low-quality junk.

Most people I know who eat fish packed in oil are actually more interested in eating bread with a side of fish+dipping oil. That's nowhere near resembling my preferred diet, YMMV.
One can do whatever the license allows. It is not my fault if I monetize someone else's code that is MIT licensed. People should read and understand licenses before slapping one on their open source project.
My group got moved 100% work from home, but people remained in the geographic area. We get lunch together on a biweekly schedule which helps keep the social aspect of working in the office alive. Depending on your situation, you could try something similar.
Codebase A writes data to datastore. Codebase B mutates it. Codebase A loads it back in, assuming it’s still the same.

Boom. You’ve mutated codebase A’s memory.
This is nonsensical. What the article is describing is political trash talk, with absolutely nothing to back it up. Typical article published during that time period, and emblematic of the media circus that surrounded Trump.

The more I use macs, which I'm forced to at work, the less I like them and the more I feel like Apple just really hates their users. They want to dictate how you use these and what it looks like. (I.e. smart quotes.. as a dev that fucks up everything, alt tab, annoying normal user interactions alternatives)
I haven't tried this in a long time, but is it now possible to set up an iPhone without a SIM card in it?

The last time I tried this (years ago, admittedly) the iPhone would not "activate" without a working SIM card.
(It's not «everyone shouldn't vote», it's «not everyone should vote».) «Minor barriers» are not the only way to achieve that - you can use sophisticated voting systems -, and the definition of such «barriers» is not trivial on many levels (of effectiveness, of fariness etc).

I don't think anything during the Obama years comes remotely close to the 2+ years of wall-to-wall coverage of Russian collusion that failed to materialize... and that's just the most obvious case.
> If we need microservices to accomplish isolation of state, that suggests we got OOP wrong, very wrong.

I don't think there's any question about that.

The only language that really seems to get this right is Erlang (and Elixir).

And I suppose Smalltalk, but I don't think even Smalltalk takes it as far as the Erlang VM.
The ability to organise and publish anonymously is crucial to small groups that are unpopular.

Imagine if political campaigners or advocates on something like abortion or LGBT rights, pro- or anti-, or some other controversial issue, could publish whatever fliers or pamphlets they like - just so long as they put their name and address on it to ensure accountability. The chilling effect on perfectly legitimate if unpopular speech would be extreme.
I would hope it's obvious that you haven't mutated A's memory, but I'll just suggest you watch the talk.
I only used AM when I was out of the country and didn’t have data. You could load the maps at the hotel and they would still work, I think because they’re vector based whereas GM is pixel- ?
I thought i'd missed something and Apple Maps was now available on non-Apple platforms. Sadly, it's still iOS and macOS only. The top search results all suggest using DDG and using the maps option there, which apparently uses Apple Maps.

:sigh:
My morbid hot take on the headline was that they'd be allowing you to will your digital music collection to a family member as some kind of covid related estate planning marketing.

Turns out it was something much more benign, but I agree that headlines have gone straight to hell these days.
It is unfortunate that NFTs have become synonymous with these (sometimes generative) digital art collection certificates. These are overhyped, useless, speculative rubbish, while NFTs in general are neither a useless concept nor a scam. It simply means that a clearly identified object (could be a real life object, like a bike of a bike rental company) is transacted upon, owned by somebody or otherwise subject to programmatic access by smart contracts. I think NFTs become useful the moment they are connected to the real world. This all applies only if you accept that blockchains have legitimate use cases at all, of course.
You're advocating monolithic packaging (simpler), with multiple services (more flexible). Sounds great!
This may even be seen as a warning to investors that the FAA is not going to be laissez faire with regards to regulating aircraft that carry passengers, so companies that are currently trying to skirt regulation are at risk.
Yes, the person who was just briefed on what was happening, and in very simple terms because he doesn't understand the technical language of complex financial instruments - that's the person who's guessing what "the music" is going to do?

That whole movie is so shallow when you think about it for more than 2 seconds.
Yes, it is 100% a good thing. Computers should make our lives easier, and the best way to do that is to enable people to solve their own problems. Not everyone needs to rewrite Microsoft Word, but who knows what great idea someone is sitting on, just waiting for the tools to make it. Perhaps someone has a novel approach to task management, or needs a way to track medication but doesn't want to share their data. Giving people means to do more with their devices than swipe and click is a good thing.
You've obviously never driven with someone from an older generation.

My dad when driving on the highway and the road veers in any way that is in any way not a BLATANTLY obvious exit: "What do I do? Which way do I go?"

Me: "It's fine dad, just keep left. That's the way the main highway is heading"

My dad when Google Maps suggests a route that isn't the most direct way possible: "Why is it telling me to go this way? That's not the fastest route."

Me: "Dad, the app knows about traffic conditions. There's probably a good reason why it's suggesting this way"

My dad when he knows that 4 hours a way there is a bridge or a tunnel that has incremental conditions: "We should look up to see if the bridge is busy so that we can decide now whether in 2 hours we will pick a different route"

All these notifications are SUPER important for a certain type of driver - an older generation that has trouble with letting go of trust, and will insist on giving you directions to their house instead of just telling you the address.

And all these notifications can be silenced (If you click on the Microphone in the app while in Navigation mode, there are 3 options - 1/ fully silent, 2/ all notifications, 3/ only important notifications)
But it's a completely fake argument in these scenarios. It's always invoked when you want to do something different to infringe on personal liberties. If anything it's the people abusing vulnerable groups for their agenda are at fault for the argument becoming laughable, however I think most people in this discussion are able to differentiate fake "think of the children" from actually protecting vulnerable groups.
