> There's no justification for Gestapo/NKVD authoritarianism and mass surveillance tactics.

I think many people are missing the point and see the issue as "Governments trying to get capabilities".

No, they always had the capability because of lower population, slower communication, more effective mass media and information bubbles. Now, they're losing this capability, and want to keep their abilities while making them automated & cheaper.

Also, there's CryptoAG stuff, which is the same thing, but international.

I also have this question and it's a bit more complicated for me as I'm not a native speaker + the accent is heavily skewed because of the nusic style.

So, are there some real words in there? Do the lyrics make sense? Or is it just "random" vocalizations that go along with the song?
I don't think they're suggesting runtime use, but rather building software after the splice(2) change. That's how I read it at least.

I think there are a lot of relevant dis-analogies between math and chess. A chess match at the professional level is a grueling, multi-hour contest, while math research is a lot more chill. Also, the time limit matters a lot in chess.

Anyway, you can look at the pages of Annals of Math and Inventiones and see that there is a good mix of ages.
The classical way to think about entropy is a relationship between scales. There are a lot of ways for matter and energy to arrange as a “cloud of smoke.” There far fewer ways for matter and energy to arrange as you. You have lower entropy than a cloud of smoke.

Just before the Big Bang (again, if it occurred), there would have been a perfect 1:1 relationship. There was only one possible way to be, and everything was that way. Zero entropy.

It is basically a definition, not empirical. Entropy only increases; the universe has a definite and specific history; therefore the beginning of things must have been only possible exactly one way, the lowest-entropy way.

If this sounds weird and non-scientific, it is! Scientists don’t know if the Big Bang occurred. We have basically no evidence to support any theory of what things were like before inflation.

> the prevailing lack of workplace standards in their warehouses or for delivery drivers

Is amazon unique in this because if not, it just feels pointless to complain about it as there is enough competition that if they don't do it, some competitor will and thus the only way you can fix it is through industry wide regulation.
But now we can talk about "the outsized influence of Big MAMAA on the tech industry", which has a nice ring to it. MAGMA has a decent ring as well, though.
What was that in the news a year or so back about the FBI having a significant number of Tor endpoints, making the routing effectively transparent? I would imagine if the FBI pulled that off, so did many other state actors.

I definitely played Dark Souls 1 on PC ("Prepare to Die Edition") from start to finish and did not at that time own a controller. I have my AutoHotKey script around for it somewhere. It did not "flat out require" a controller.

I haven't bought Elden Ring yet (it has been a very busy year), but I was alarmed by your claim that you "have to" use a controller, but now that I learn you're just wrong about DS1, I can calm down and carry on.

Also, "requires hyper optimal play"? Are you kidding? Just because kids who've never played a hard game think Souls games are hard doesn't mean it's true.

I don't really think of Graham Hancock as being a very good scientific source, but I think his ideas are a fantastic source of wonder about human history. It's simply fun to imagine advanced ancient civilizations.
I doubt this will get much traction here on HN, but: LinkedIn. Their hiring and recruiting division has made huge efforts to make LI useful for small businesses, blue collar workers, artists, everyone. They get a bad rap for historical behavior but the modern LinkedIn helps thousands of people find jobs every day, and not just in tech or management. And a lot of the employees there are incredibly passionate about and proud of that.
"were"? There's still Jews who do this of course!
No, it only ever works if you care about your core competencies more than performance or features of the software products you run your business on.

Remember, not only are most non-software companies better at their business than they are at software, they're also not hiring from the same tech talent pool, they're not paying their tech people as much, they're not letting the tech run their business.
You don’t need larger than the 128-bit ALUs or the 207x128-bit register file Gracemont already has to implement AVX-512. It doesn’t make sense on its own with that backend, but for ISA compatibility with a big core it does.
> we've got to accept that some amount of child exploitation is going to happen

Funny, that's the exact deal with have with guns - we accept some amount of mass child murder as the cost of the 2nd Amendment.

Another datapoint that the 2nd is now considered more absolute the 1st.
Azure is owned by Microsoft.
You could run everything on Xen instead of VMware, except as you point out - you can't really. Oracle is similarly positioned. Their database software is just one piece of a much larger ecosystem of products. An "enterprise solution", if you will. Oracle actually competes with VMware in the broader enterprise space.
In candor I dabbled in Go in 2016 and found the community leaders arrogant and rude. I hope the community has evolved since then to expect more from leaders, but would need to see evidence of this before touching Go voluntarily again.
Consoles play games and media, off course people like them. Did the PS3 having the Other OS feature mean people enjoyed gaming on it less? I don't think so. Piracy as the given reason to take the feature away is a poor one, they could've better isolated the gaming partition. Apple designs their products to be more user friendly than most, it shouldn't stop users from doing what they want. They don't on the Mac, but they do on the iPhone.
You are making bad assumptions here:

Imagine the chaos of multiple people with guns trying to take down an assailant with the police involved. Who are the good guys here? Friendly fire happens with cops accidentally shooting hostage victims occasionally and they are well trained.

Do civilians really know how to deal with hostage scenarios?

Do teachers want to carry firearms to protect elementary school students?

Are the school districts going to pay for training and armament?

What if a teacher attacks the children in their class? What if a student carries a weapon to the school and creates a hostage situation? (You eliminated a gun free zone).

Assailants can be better armed than teachers and they can wear armor, which teachers/security personnel will not be equipped with. (See Buffalo massacre)

These are just off the top of my head. I would like to hear a security analyst take on it.

Resharper is kind of a dog in terms of performance, and I think it's a major source of performance issues under VS - especially with large project.

One of the reasons for this is you can't turn off the Roslyn-based MS engine in VS (which IMO is reasonable, since it's needed for a lot of stuff) so there are always 2 code analysis engines running.

That's one of the main selling points of Rider Imo, that it doesn't run 2 completion engines simultaneously, which makes it much faster.

Unfortunately Resharper is still far superior to VS with the quality and quantity of built-in refactorings.

Another thing with Resharper is that it seems to run synchronously, meaning if you type something and press the completion button, the suggestions always pop-up. A major pain point in previous VS versions is that this wasn't the case with the built-in engine.

Sometimes you just pressed the autocomplete button and nothing happened, because VS was still parsing your code.

Thankfully 2022 fixed this, and this is one of the reason I would never consider going back to the older versions.
> "Bitcoiners are trying to create a public good (a non-excludable and non-rival data network) that is also self-sufficient (pays for its own provision)."

What is the economic benefit of Bitcoin, net of the environmental cost of powering its provision mechanism? If in the long term the cost of energy expenditure to generate a new coin surpasses its value, then society is in the red.
> We believe the best way to protect user data is to not have it in the first place

I like the exchange of value that comes from paying money for a service. With free products from companies like Google you do not pay for the service and there is no exchange of value. This results in the myriad of HN threads discussing how Google Docs did them wrong (locked out, privacy violation, etc.)
> which resulted, notably, on musl begrudgingly adding TCP support for its DNS resolver

Do you have a reference for this? The HN thread about musl not supporting TCP for DNS wasn't that long ago.

Edit: I did glance at musl's change log but I didn't notice anything. It's possible I missed it.
Actionscript was the catalyst for me going from script kiddie to SWE. I made a decent living from 17-20 doing medical show kiosks and complex Flash sites for said medical providers. By the end of it I had a nice little data loading and UI component library akin to what you would see in Qt or GTK.

I really wish I still had the HDD with the files on it to reminisce.
> Windows 10 has had telemetry since its initial release.

Telemetry is collected over the routine use of the operating system, which is why I reimagine the system frequently.

> You don't avoid it just by not installing updates.

I avoid it by not allowing my computer to phone home to Microsoft.

I do - and I use Microsoft for times when security and privacy is not paramount, like when gaming.
Nim has all these properties. (I'm not sure about threading because I don't use it much.)
In a global economy, it is a lot easier to acquire/transact/hold stable tokens than actual USD, that is the point. If all you care about is the developed bubble, crypto makes little sense.
This wasn't the first virus spawned by animal agriculture, and it won't be the last. I'm sure that people are genuinely concerned, but their concern rarely leads them to question their participation in the systems that cause these problems.
I agree with all of your points. I also choose to avoid companies that have an outsized negative impact on the world. Intrinsic motivations is important too. Totally get all of that.

At the end of the day, it’s all about what you want. I do think that if you want to make the biggest positive impact as a software engineer, and that is your only directive, then I believe my approach is a worthwhile option.
> I didn't think people still took Paul "The Bigger the Bubble the Better" Krugman seriously anymore.

"The Bigger the Bubble the Better" ? What is this in reference to?
Maybe there's no problem? It's totally fair to critique the design of the current module proxy. The odds of them developing precisely the right proxy were low; of course we'll be able to come up with things they can do better. That's how open source works.

It's when we turn this into a morality play that we go off the rails.

I believe he means the Home Assistant instance is not exposed to the internet, but it's bridged to Homekit which is available outside his home network. I have the opposite setup: my Home Assistant instance is available off network, but I don't have a Homepod or newer Apple TV so I can only use Siri to control it at home.
yes I get it. Good point.

Is bazel also a good choice for managing the virtual environments of my developers? Do you have any examples?
My advice would be to study mathematics. Or to find some other way to teach yourself to exclusively say or write things that are true. Then I think you will also more easily recognize when others do not.

> If I put a dollar in my savings account and the bank loans it out to someone else, who has the dollar?

Note that for every dollar you put into a U.S. bank account that's subject to reserve requirements (I believe just checking accounts?), the bank can loan out much more than 1 dollar, based on the legally required liquidity ratio or "reserve requirement ratio."

Note also that since 2020 that reserve requirement ratio is zero.
As I said in my other reply, to the majority of people, and especially in the context of gun control, the distinction between fully and semi automatic isn’t relevant, the relevant bit is the “automatic” part of the description, which you’ll note is present in both descriptions.

Sorry for being petulant but I’m tired of people defending americas failed response to gun violence with claims that gun control does nothing, when literally every other country that said enough was enough, introduced strict gun control and had immediate reduction, even complete cessation, in mass killings.

Yes gun control doesn’t solve all problems, but that’s like saying seatbelts are pointless because they don’t save you if you die when the handbrake fails and the car crushes you into a wall.

The author doesn't seem to have much in common ideologically with most bitcoin people or to have a similar analysis of bitcoin to that of bitcoin people. So calling himself a "Keynesian bitcoiner" seems incorrect.

It seems that he disagrees with certain fundamental intellectual premises of bitcoin.

You don't get to call yourself a member of a movement if you fundamentally disagree with it. No; you're somebody criticizing it from the outside. That's fine, but don't conflate the two. You can't be an anti-bitcoin bitcoiner, an anti-left leftist, or an anti-Nazi Nazi.
Wow, you argued with the parent about their own priorities, and then proved their point anyway.

Yes, they don't want to think about what tires to buy. Or whether it needs to be fixed or not. The fact that repairs are not in inevitability but a possibility is part of the point.

The parent is making the point that they're rather throw money at the problem and not have to think about it, not that they've precisely run the numbers on all of the possibilities and decided their outcome is the most cost-effective.
These children will never have a chance at a normal life. They have careers, certainly, but they'll never know what it's like to date or even shop for groceries without their celebrity status warping it somehow. Every single facet of their lives is public, forever.

Adults choose this life willingly. Kids have this life chosen for them, or at the very least they're too young to truly understand what they are consenting to.
No way, it is these things.

Do the maintainers of SMTP do so as a public good, eg: provide us with decentralized email systems?

Asserting "private email" is a modern litmus test for someone's technical understanding and capabilities, or lack thereof. Snake oil companies will always hide behind "it's encrypted" and "it's hosted in Switzerland" tropes that mean nothing to anyone who has done a modicum of research. Real privacy is not the result of some product, especially not when its so desperately and obviously shilled.

Given that Google decides to do that effectively out of bad design.

What if your website hosted 100 Go modules and it scales linearly, that's 400GB, still not a problem? What if every programming language did that?

I don't really understand how that's not an issue. Sure it's not a big deal, if just one service does that, but it's still something that should be fixed. If you are Google it should be expected that this fix is not taking over a year.
I'm all for unions for the warehouse workers but the CEO also controls AWS which is a high margin high pay industry so I don't think it is fair to compare their low margin low pay retail business wages to the CEO of a conglomerate that has a much more profitable high margin high pay business.
I'm talking about the general idea not specific implementation. Having something happen at function/block exit doesn't mean a runtime configurable behaviour. If you don't have exceptions, it's pretty easy to statically compile that behaviour and guarantee it rather than rely on checks.
I think the biggest takeaway here is system-wide operations are bad for system-wide reliability.

Also watch out for snowballing. External dependent systems should not rely on your entire system, but a portion of it. Building your system into regions and AZs is a cheap hack to enable you to perform operations on a portion of your system rather than the whole. If external dependent systems also depend on just a portion of your system, you avoid total system collapse and snowballing.

Edit: and let me just respond to one thing

> You are making bad assumptions here

I'm not just making assumptions. This is the conclusion I come to from reading firearms experts like the one I just linked, sociological analysis of gun ownership, use of force law, etc.

I'm not saying a chaotic situation like that couldn't happen, but that can be prepared for, and the result would still be a significant net positive.
It would break if compiled on old kernel and run on new kernel. When CI is containerized the kernel might not even have anything to do with the distro that you're building on.
That is a common misconception that got started as a misunderstanding of Milton Friedman's (reasonable) money multiplier equation. Banks cannot lend more money than they have - if they could, then you could start a bank and multiply your own money. The money multiplication that banks can do is take the money that party B has received for selling something and loan it back to to party A, who can use it to buy something from party B again.

A zero percent reserve requirement does not lead in all cases to infinite inflation, because banks are also afraid of a default. Bank's desire to avoid defaults adds another fraction to their reserve ratio and limits money multiplication even when the Fed would technically allow it to proceed infinitely.

Another thing you should know is that Fed chairmen have said that Friedman's equation underestimates bank's ability to create money, because in practice the Fed will allow any bank that desires liquidity to borrow it. The Fed, especially post-great-depression, will happily loan banks however much they needed to cover their reserve requirements, meaning that even before the ratio was set at zero, the number of times a single dollar could be spent was decided primarily by a balance of interest rates and fear of defaults.
