You need to explain these in further detail then, because I don't see how any of them are true.
> stable institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities;

How could it be judged that institutions are stable immediately after independence? There'd be a ton of new ones that would need to be set up.
I think we need to see more implementations of the already existing federated protocols. We need that one app that will truly explode and bring the fediverse to the masses. Mastodon is okay but it's just a microblogging platform; it's not really too innovative.
Actually it also supports a black and white mode using only utf8 characters. I haven't exposed it yet though.
> More spam, more misinformation, more hate speech, more everything bad.

I don't think you would get all that from a network like this. You only see content from people you follow, there is no algorithm pushing viraliced posts and advertisements on your "feed" of "things you want to see". If you are careful about who you follow, it could work like a BBS or a web forum.
but were you a social actor(above age 18, etc.) in the 80s or 70s? I'll agree, it could've been pretty great but perhaps not as free as beforehand. I'll invoke the allegory of the cave
If anyone wonders how bad the situation RE cookies is there is a local newspaper owner in the UK called reach PLC who own 100+ newspaper websites.

Their cookie allow dialog has over 700 data share partners, not including their own "legitimate interest" cookies. The dialog looks like this [1] and cannot be resized and is lazy loaded (i.e. you have to manually scroll to have the page load all of them with a few visible each scroll). And its slow so it takes a while and doesn't play well with the mouse in the iframe. There are even ones not in english or latin characters [2]

Firefox really needs to implement two features:

1. Cookie Auto-Delete (see https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete/wiki/...), where cookies and local data are automatically deleted some time after closing the tab. You can, of course, whitelist Websites to exclude them.

2. Firefox multi-container extension, to assign some websites (domains and subdomains) to a container by default so that you can visit some specific Google sites without being logged in (e.g Web search, News, Maps…) but still open Gmail and be connected to your account.

You can make this more intuitive and combine that in a single button: "Do not forget. Optionally, open website in <container>".

This would drastically level the playing field, as one can continue to use some Google/Apple services for work (e.g Play developers console, Google calendar…) but all visit to other properties would not be tracked. No need to switch between browsers, profiles or containers, this is automatic.

I've been using this set up for years now, and it works perfectly – just add uBlock and I don't care about cookies, and you'll ever see an ad or a cookie prompt ever again. Perfect.
This is just false, people happily "exploit" themselves to make more money, and it makes perfect sense because society is based completely on exploitation, your job as well as anyone's.

Middle class people want to project misery and suffering that don't exist, on unwilling "workers", just to validate their own silly middle class job.

If you really believe in unions, then fight for a union in your own workplace.
It's gambling with charts, and greed is an inherent vice in humans.
Stop Looking for Mentors – Stay SaaSy
> I think the only way the Saudi government cleanses itself is by becoming one that cares about human rights. Buying players to play on teams in funny tournaments isn't going to work. They're going to lose interest."

Then again, money and resources go a long way towards getting people not to think about morals. Witness President Biden’s upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia, even though he had earlier declared them a pariah nation for the murder of Kashogi.
I think it’s easier than that. Two things that go hand in hand.

There is still money coming in, and people want to believe.

When one of those stops… look out.
"Instead of looking for a mentor, just find somebody who can answer some questions you have. Then, if you think they can answer some more, ask them again. In reality, a mentor is mostly just somebody that answers questions more than once. That’s it. It’s not cinematic." -- Love it. Perfect framing. It's okay to call that person your mentor, if the two of you think it's the right way to define the relationship. Don't let the lack of an official mentor hold you back from asking people some questions, and then again.
You're off the mark. The celebrities who are referenced in OP had nothing whatsoever to do with the scam.
Because of the way progressive income taxation works, splitting over tax years can save some in taxes (though, unless Damon has been very good at structuring his other income streams, that probably doesn't matter for him); because of the way capital gains taxes work, selling some 1 year + 1 day on after receiving it saves additional taxes beyond what is saved by splitting it across tax years, and this works even if you are stuck in the highest tax bracket from other income so that splitting across tax years is immaterial, too.

C 11 standard, 6.10.6 "Pragma directive"

A preprocessing directive of the form

`#pragma pp-tokens_opt new-line`

where the preprocessing token STDC does not immediately follow pragma in the directive (prior to any macro replacement) causes the implementation to behave in an implementation-defined manner. ...

Pragma directives are only part of the C standard if followed by STDC. The ISO C++ standard does not require any pragmas to be supported at all, though most compilers will support at least the ones required by C even in C++ mode.
Surprised it's even that high, I tried to switch to Firefox the other month for privacy but gave up because it crashed on me it-least once a day.

Edit: thanks for the downvotes, I would have preferred if it worked but it didn't. I tried basic troubleshooting, disabling extensions etc. but didn't find it usable on macOs Monterey, think it doesn't play well with youtube.
In the language tab, you can just select "CUDA C++" (or OpenCL C for that matter) instead of C++ or Rust.
There's a lot of commentary on this, but people seem to be conflating a couple of points - namely that this cut all access - everything, and emailed to personal email and not just access to "secure" systems. That is pretty unusual, and not something I've seen.

Typically access to sensitive systems is cut, but cutting everything and notifying to personal email seems unusual. Sensitive information should always be segregated and subject to tight controls, which is easy to sever, and then leave regular email and video conferencing in place - ie. the bare minimum necessary to communicate over a work device.

> There were still humans who made the decision

Yes, that’s true, though not the issue.

How are you going to blame this “irresponsible climate crisis movement” for closures due to economic reasons?
Absolutely this, the more you know the more you realise you don't know. I think the best kind of knowledge is T-shaped - a niche, narrow pillar of a subject you know inside out, and a broad and shallow range of technologies you are at least on Christmas-card terms with, if not competent.

Also, most things correspond to patterns and the more experiences you have (and/or the older you get), the more enriched your mental models become, and the more areas you can apply those patterns to. E.g. there are a thousand syntactic variations of IF-THEN-ELSE but once you know the pattern, you can apply it to anything.
Heh, nah. I'm a journalist and I've seen its effects directly on local government. For example, there was a police accountability committee that needed the local city hall to create a process for allowing people to apply. They completely forgot about it, though. The act of me researching and calling political offices put a real fire under their assess to get the process moving again. Accountability works.

That has nothing to do with "social webs".
Very interesting. I didn't realize.

Can just any transaction be rolled back, or are there restrictions? Do both parties need to agree to the rollback, or can a rollback be involuntarily imposed on one party by another party?

I imagine there are some circumstances where after a disadvantageous trade one party might claim to have fat-fingered the order, just to try to avoid the repercussions of a mistake that was made with full consent and awareness. I imagine there are cases where if a counter-party were to agree to a such a reversal, it would represent a loss for that counter-party.

How often are trades like this reversed, where one party clearly benefits from the reversal at the expense of the other party, and where the other party would not agree to the reversal if it were in their power to do so? How are these situations arbitrated, if only one of the two parties wants to reverse the trade, and the other party objects?

Not in an ad targeting company, but given Firefox current marketshare and their previous anti tracking measures, I doubt this will make a that much of a difference. But if the feature attracts loads of Chrome users then at least the ad companies relying on third-party cookies will feel it. Obviously if you are currently targeting Firefox users and your company is not in the current tracker list then I assume you will see significant drop

Use esbuild to transpile and bundle your typescript. It's 10-100x times faster. The only issue is that esbuild only removes the type-only part of typescript, and doesn't do the type-checking part.
The Moon phase adjustments are really trivial. E.g. luck is increased by 1 during a full Moon (and you already need to handle luck anyway; basically your total luck is setting a modifier on how likely good/bad events are to happen). Or a cockatrice will always turn you to stone when it attacks on a new Moon instead of having a 10% chance of doing so (this can trivially be implemented on top of any kind of source of random numbers).

Interesting aspect of this is that in Stanford survey, overwhelming majority of students (83%) want to see Greek life reformed, de-housed, or abolished. This is not administrators against students in general issue. This is administration doing moves that are broadly supported by majority of students.

I find the whole situation sad. I’ll admit the PGA tour was slow to change, but it is sad that Norman and his Saudi oil barons get to create the disruption. Crazy how Mickelson was king of the PGA a year ago and has a tarnished legacy today. I really don’t see this improving the game of golf.

Wouldn't simply installing an ad/tracking blocker like uBlock Origin be just as effective, if not moreso?
I read that and had the same thought. "Winters" at least in the context of AI which is where I believe the term in this context originated has been closer to 10 years [1]. It seems as though downturn would be more appropriate. Perhaps "winter" is becoming the preferred nomenclature because it's less alarming sounding?

Ask HN: Do You Report Bugs?
So yesterday, my browser crashed completely and after restarting it, all extensions were disabled and their corresponding configurations were gone.

Usually, a popup shows up after a crash, but not this time. Since the hurdle is so big, I didn't report the bug.

Many tools and programs don't have a good way to report bug.

So I am wondering: Do you report bugs? If you are, what is the hurdle you accept to do so?

Late reply here. Can you elaborate on "more balanced education funding between school districts"?

My experience as a Maryland taxpayer is Baltimore City spends far more tax dollars per student than any school district in the state. And has for many years. They also have more documented, charged, corruption than any school district in the state. And regarding standardized testing...

"BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Baltimore City Public Schools is among the highest funded large school districts in the country. On average, it receives nearly $16,000 per student, per year. Yet, it’s also one of the lowest-performing. Compared to similarly-sized urban school systems, Baltimore places near the bottom for student proficiencies in math and reading.

[...]

One of the most alarming findings came in January, when a Baltimore City teacher came forward with information, showing more than 75% of students tested at one high school are reading and doing math at an elementary school level."

He seems eccentric to say the least but his sources seem to hold up to a certain degree. "Red flags" is a non-argument. Anything specific that seems wrong?
Except the only use it has for "law abiding citizens" is specilation.

While banning cryptocurrencies won't eliminate it, it would make it much less attractive for fraud, extortion and money laundering.

The war on drugs turned otherwise law abiding citizens into criminals. A ban on crypto wouldn't have the same effect nor would it have the effect of driving a behavior that should be treated as a mental health issue underground.

I am not sure a ban is the best solution, I am open to alternatives.
Tesla Rival Declares Devastating News
> All we did were tiny console C programs. I realized that very late, CS classes are meant to let you know about the fundamentals. You probably won't use these skills directly at work, but you will have ideas about how the languages and systems work internally. That pays in the long run.

At one point you realize, when you remove all the boilerplate, every piece of software is fundamentally just a "tiny console C program". All IPC and networking is isomorphic to reading stuff from stdin and writing to stdout. And when you ignore IPC, all you're left with is just pure algorithms.

Leetcode (and the likes) always made sense to me. It's measuring how well you can solve the fundamental problems, not how well you can fill out vendor-specific bureaucratic forms.
Yep definitely, but if it's just a case of the business isn't doing well and they need to cut headcount then they absolutely can do that without going through a redundancy process.

> Why weren’t separate cookie jars the default in the first place?

Tracking today is an interaction between cookies and pages, not really because cookies were designed to be shared between domains. Because of that, ads on web pages are a reason that information gets shared across sites. Any ad or other iFramed content that’s served on a site can get the domain name of where it’s be served from and then access the iFrame domain’s cookies, which enables tracking.

The cookie jar language might be a tiny bit oversimplifying/confusing in the sense that cookies are already separated from each other according to the cookie’s domain - they’re already in separate jars in a way, and this feature is changing how they partition the jars. Assuming even the most strict privacy settings, tracking cookies and scripts are often in iFrames and may not have the ability to directly read other cookies from the web site in your URL bar, and the web site might not be able read the tracking cookies. It’s not that cookies themselves are being shared per se. It’s that (say) Facebook is allowed to put an iFramed tracker on some site, and Facebook can then get a tracking blip when you visit that site and add it to a Facebook-only cookie. Total Cookie Protection is going to put cookies that only Facebook can see in a different jar for each separate site you visit, making it so that Facebook can’t read it’s own cookies across different sites.

Crypto used to mean cryptography. It is very much a thing.

https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2021/nov/18/crypto-cr...

On the other hand, Bitcoin and Web3 sucks mainly because it is based on Blockchain. That solves the double-spend problem but in the most brute force way:

gather all transactions in one place (miner) and look for a double-spend, then have everyone store the state of every coin/smart contract.

That is as dumb as having BitTorrent require every seeder to host every file. As more people join, the throughput always remains the same.

Can you name any other Internet protocols where “max transactions per second” is a thing? How many websites per second can HTTP support? How many emails per second can SMTP support?

Blockchain is one of the only technologies in history that promises to become slower and more expensive over time. And hence people jump in early, to buy the “utility token” issued in block rewards, because it’ll become more scarce later as transaction costs skyrocket. All it does is attract speculation, not utility.

And hence, rather than using crypto with smart contracts to power community applications such as https://intercoin.org/applications — instead it is relegated to peer-to-peer applications that do transactions once in a while.

This is what must happen to make crypto mainstream: https://intercoin.org/proposal.pdf … but most projects are stuck in just doing more of the same … blockchain, blockchain, speculation, speculation, yields, rewards out of thin air, etc.

If no one successfully does this then we’ll live in a world where Big Tech controls our interactions and the Federal Governments (CBDC) controls our transactions. Very centrally planned world with no viable crypto alternatives. China already has WeChat central database and the social credit system. Canada already froze accounts of truckers. It’s early days.

It sounds like SOC2 compliance requirements unfortunately. Plus process overhead on who can raise tickets.

I've found compliance makes it harder to write good code. If you get a PR approval with optional suggestions you're heavily disincentivised from actually addressing those comments since if you push those changes you now need to wait for review again.

Like everything process and compliance it's designed by low-confidence managers with an inate distrust of their teams.

I wouldn't think so. I can't imagine that manufacturing a small ICE engine is particularly dirty compared to a much larger battery pack. With a PHEV, it would seldom need to run as well, negating the emissions of a purely ICE vehicle.
