What's the use of standing on that anti-static mat and wearing that grounding strap? Can't you see there are fork lifts zipping around just right in the next room? That mat is giving you a false sense of security!
Yes, you do miss something. There is about a metric ton of various adblockers on mobile App Store.
"Though, for most homes, all a lock will do is keep out the people who don't want to be there in the first place. They can be good if you don't want someone snooping around without you noticing, but unless you go out of your way to get "not abysmally shitty locks," anyone with a tiny bit of skill and a bump key or bump gun can pop your doors anyway without you noticing."

For insurance purposes if nothing else, I want there to be solid evidence someone forced entry. So while my heavy duty strike plate and three hinges on the other side aren't anchored as well as I'd like and there's pretty easy access through a porch window, it's secured by an Abloy lock from https://securitysnobs.com/ so force will be required. And I can lend out a key with confidence that if I get it back, it won't have been copied in the meanwhile.

Ex-Chrome engineer here. Chrome doesn’t “collect” this information about you. It optionally syncs it across devices. Take a look at the privacy policy: data like autofill, your browsing history, and your password manager does not get used for ad targeting. Apple basically blackmailed Google into putting all of that stuff in the “privacy nutrition label” with absolutely no nuance, under threat of having to take Chrome out of the App Store.
It comes from a culture of honor and taking ultimate responsibility for your mistakes in order to preserve this honor through honesty and integrity, all the same which led to the safe return of the data in the end.
At each round when an individual is selected to transfer money, there's a 50:50 probability that they give a dollar or receive a dollar. A coin flip.

The total number of heads after N coin flips follows a binomial distribution [0]. So too does the total number of times an individual will receive a dollar over N game rounds.

I got fed up with ansible and pyinfra and created a new tool [1] to fix some of the issues I've had. I spent weeks on documentation, yet it is kind of useless. There simply are industry proven tools for the same thing already in existence - so I'm the only one using it.

As regulators squeeze harder and harder, it will drive Coinbase under.

This seems more like wishful thinking than objective analysis.

It's a necessary next step for Bitcoin to prove that it can actually deliver on the promise of censorship-resistant money.

I've observed three pro-cryptocurrency arguments:

1. It is a store of value (ex: inflation hedge)

2. It is a replacement for x% of monetary transaction (ex: Web 3.0)

3. It is a way to exchange value outside of government intervention

You seem to be in Camp #3. With government controlling money for all of recorded history, why do you think cryptocurrency will be different? There's some compelling evidence that government will continue to exercise control over all currency including cryptocurrency. Just one example:

I pay $20/month to have a postal address with a mail processor, and know other digital nomads who do as well. You do not? Odd, as it’s cheaper than dealing with issues like this saying “I have no address.” My financial service providers (bank, brokerage, credit cards) require an address for example.

I agree with you asking for addresses is starting to become silly in certain situations, but don’t swim upstream.

I really like your demo.

A question that always comes up when I see these "Heroku-like" replacements on top of AWS/GCP/Azure is who is the target user?

A couple years ago, you would have platform teams helping developers launch their stuff. Since then, AWS has tried to make things easier through services like App Runner. Nowadays, if you don't want to manage the instances yourself, you just use a managed service. Platform teams are essentially dead.

It's not 2016 anymore and developers should know how their code runs. Trying to "protect" them from infrastructure only hinders their pace long term.
One quirk of Japanese culture and especially work culture is that while it's highly efficient and safety-oriented most of the time, when they do drop the ball, they really DROP THE BALL.

Sorry, _why_ shouldn't the above apply to Coinbase?
Isn't the angry mob also acting in self interest? If the well-being of others is what they actually care about, why can't they enjoy the well-being of the likes of Richard Branson?

Anyway, if death is the price you have to pay for living a life true to yourself, in accordance with your values, in accordance with what you think is right and not what you think will appease some hypothetical angry mob, then so be it. Surely it's better to live a short life true to what you believe, than a slightly longer life lacking any sense of integrity.
> It's a question of priority, not cost.

> Or could the view that a beautiful building can inspire students have been factored in?

This is a bizzare take. Ornamentation and extraneous detail cost money. They take more time and need more maintenance which in turn cost more money. Money that could instead be spent money building more schools and paying teachers more.
And if they don't like you asking questions, you've really dodged a bullet!
The interesting thing is that we were effectively there 50 years ago: were (the rich West) were living like the kings of yesteryear (or even better in many cases). But we didn't exactly stop wanting stuff and further improvements, hedonic adaptation pretty much guarantees that no matter what our position we will always want more so how this could happen without damage to the environment is a mystery to me. The environment doesn't vote, it doesn't lobby and every institution that claims to do that is first and foremost in the business of keeping itself alive.
Do you really think the person you responded to made the claim that it was the same person flip-flopping their opinion? Obviously it's no surprise.

Nonetheless, what OP was getting at is that there is a clear trend on HN to semi-blindly hate everything crypto related, no matter the narrative (regulation good vs regulation bad). At least that's how I took it.

Crypto (for lack of a better word to lump everything together) is probably not the answer to the world's problems, but it's not as incredibly dumb of an idea as your average HN thread makes it out to be.
The OP is a great book to learn OCaml. There is also a corresponding set of lecture videos on YouTube.

PS Love your work on AutoTempest; the top ten lists I found with some clicking (maybe a partner thing) were really enjoyable.
I've been caught in two traps:

If you start a business doing something you've done before as staff in a company, you end up doing the same work with more stress and less free time and competing with others who saw the same opportunity to not work for the man.

If you come up with a great new idea for a service, then you spend more time selling than doing the actual work. It is harder than it first appears to get people to grok something that is truly new and different.

In both cases, chasing payment for services rendered consumes more time and energy than what I had planned for.

One has to find that somebody because some insurance will have to pay something. Our society is not less tolerant for accidents; it's less tolerant for their cost.
Nope, I must say I have only used a small subset of languages from the FP-language-zoo, so my opinion on OCaml might be biased

Yes. They cover this exact situation. If you have work data in your bag, don't go drinking, don't put your bag in the coin locker, go directly back to the office.
Citadel CEO: I’ve had multiple colleagues mugged at gunpoint
I like writing on paper much more than typing after years of being mostly paperless, though experiences may vary depending on personal preferences.

The main benefits include the flexibility to easily draw and write formulae if thinking about a technical topic, the ability to recall what you write easier than what you type, and enjoyment of the feeling of writing on paper. The feeling is actually really nice, and I believe it even inspired essays by Japanese authors about the feeling. The Guardian interviewed some researchers about the differences at: https://theguardian.com/science/2014/dec/16/cognitive-benefi...

The main drawback is the ability to search, though I personally rarely look back at past entries (the main benefit is during the act of writing). When brainstorming about something work-related, though, I do scan the related pages with my phone. Digital handwriting (e.g. Surface or iPad) with an app that does hand recognition is an alternative, though the feeling of writing with a good pen on quality paper is much nicer than a stylus on the display (even with screen protectors that simulate paper).

If you’d like to try, you can get an excellent setup for less than $50. You can get a nice pen (Pentel Energel, Zebra Sarasa, or Uniball Signo) and notebook (Rhodia, Midori, or Leuchtturm1917) and try it out for a few weeks. r/pens and r/notebooks talk about the differences, and also suggest other alternatives for writing tools.
Or avoid being scammed, becoming scams or being wholly manipulated. I don't know how people think cryptocurrency will just 'work itself out' as some decentralised system with no oversight somehow free of corruption and illegality... that holds a steady, useful value within regulated and legal markets.

Our Product Team use Devops, particular the "Features" part which makes it easier to organise at a high level but also you can easily link to other PBIs created to implement those features.

My experience is really related to people's willingness to try things out. Most objections I have had to using these tools relate to technophobes or simply people who don't like it and won't use it!

Also, even if no options were available, it's not like the law would care - the illegality of it has been advertised for years...

Surely there is better criticism than, "stop being so thorough"?
You use GPL for desktop apps, AGPL for webapps and services and LGPL for libraries. Who cares about the specific version, just pick one of them.

Not really. Safari had its own declarative content blocker engine for many years now. Additional, it is moving to the manifest standard for better interoperability with cross-browser web extensions.
I’ve long found it shocking the extent to which Google and Mozilla shrug this aspect off. Between laptops, phones, and tablets, computing is dominated by battery powered devices… power efficiency should be a headlining goal, not a trailing afterthought.

As a user I don’t care nearly as much if my browser supports WebOnions v2 or whatever feature-du-jour as I do that it’s not wantonly burning through my battery just doing basic browsing.
Does anybody have some actual good examples for teaching inheritance to beginners?

Thanks for your feedback! Mattermost PM here,

You are of course aware that all these iOS browsers run on WebKit from Apple? Linked post is about that.
This is partly the fault of school systems. During the pandemic with online learning they had my kids bring their Chromebooks home to do online classes. Their solution for every issue was to install more and more Chrome extensions and services connected to their Google Account mostly which also synced with their email.

Half of them clearly stated that they were collecting data and yet that school didn't have the kids sign any release from the parents. These are kids under 13 years old BTW. Essentially, the school decided for parents it was okay for random Chinese and other apps to spy on students without the parents permission.
"Car/Animal extends..." slowed my ability to comprehend OOP significantly when I was learning to code. It just did not make any sense to me and I felt like an idiot for not being able to equate these "real-world" examples to the code I was trying to write. I just could not make the connection.

It wasn't until I started trying to make a simple video game that these concepts made sense: an "Enemy" class could have properties of health and speed that a "Boss" or "Minion" could inherit from, etc.
Glad you had a lovely interview experience! :)
Who's going to look at a distorted market that's also shrinking and try to compete by offering printers at realistic costs and no lock in.

Home users aren't going to buy that when they could get an inkjet for $50 (damn the costs later), and office users aren't going to buy it unless there's a service network and the lineup scales up to the 4 foot high office monstrosity multi function machines with collating and all that jazz. If they have printers at all.
From my point of view (which likely differs from marzinalia_nu's) the question isn't really about why we think it matters and more about why the people holding the vast majority of money should care about it.

My personal worldview is quiet bleak and I'm very glad to already be in the middle of my thirties, because I struggle to find a reason which would matter to them.

I don't think there is any chance we'll avoid mass murder on the average people at this point, and I doubt the average software developer will escape unharmed either long term. Hopefully after I'm dead though.
yes, that would be a straightforward error message!

Hey HN,

In what has become a weird stint of Auth/Login related projects, I've recently launched a big feature for Waaard[0] -- a drop-in login system that you can use for your applications.

Waaard For Login[1] makes it easy to build a login flow for your site that uses Email (magic link), Email + Password, HackerNews (thanks to LoginWithHN[2]) Github, Gitlab, Twitter, Facebook, and lots more providers.

I got the idea after getting some questions from users of Waaard -- I realized I'd built essentially a bad closed-source PassportJS but it was way easier to use (the low friction was previously for sending around documents). How hard could it be to adapt that ease-of-use to other applications to use?

Well many weeks later here we are! Please feel free to give it a try! I know I'll be using it on projects going forward for myself just to avoid dealing with writing yet another login system.

Also in this space, check out Clerk.dev[3]! They're a bigger operation and have a great onboarding process/concept that's way more configurable.

I'd love this but I can't think of a vendor that is reliable enough to put in a minimally attended machine. Thus we have the ones in UPS stores and markets.

There's been a sea change. In 2000 if you wasted time on a website for a pitch, it was a gimmick. People wanted a nicely printed, bound pitch book that they'd have in front of them at the meeting. They'd probably throw them away but one would float around for a while if you were lucky.

Now people expect you to have it digitally, and don't have a place for paper.
> What is the intent of admitting this?

Incident response always ends on "lessons learned" and it's rarely
productive to hide the facts due to political embarrassment. Earliest
disclosure also mitigates against much bigger liabilities as a
consequence of a leak.

And be immediately replaced by management with the same level of
understanding and responsibility.

> Haven’t these fools realized...

No. And this is the key point. The biggest thing by FAR in
cybersecurity is education. Ordinary people do not have any working
model of the threat landscape and basic operational security because
they foolishly, blindly trust technology and services providers.

We literally need a second digital literacy revolution. One that
undoes a lot of the naive and trusting enthusiasm for digitalisation
that we inculcated in the 80s and 90s. Unfortunately that goes against
the grain of almost every policy that's active out there today.

> On the other hand, there are other things, when you see them, they bring you a sense that the world is as it should be. It may be things that are awesome, beautiful, or sublime. It may be good craftsmanship, self-sufficiency, human flourishing. It may be small things or large things.

Sounds good to me. Why not exercise whatever talents you have to encourage and promote such things?
Would you be interested in getting a laser printer? I have a Brother and it works very well. It doesn't come with a huge toner cartridge but I'm still on the starter and it's been more than 5 years. Honestly I don't print super often, but it's a nice to have thing. The build quality is also good. It's a bit of a pain to set up, but once done it "just works".
this is actually not bad
Actually, if Apple wanted to compete in the browser space, they could do that without allowing other browsers on iOS. Bring Safari to Windows, Linux and Android. Safari for Windows did exist many years ago and I did like it. Apple really gave up on browsers a long time ago and Safari is the new IE.

And yet their monopolist behaviour is the only thing countering Google's monopolist behaviour with Chrome.

I fear witnessing the incoming manifest v3 apocalypse, when Google will nerf adblockers and plenty of other extensions. And all Chromium based browsers will most probably also be affected. So no capable adblockers in Edge/Vivaldi/Opera/etc. either, probably.

Is this a team mate at a US company? If so, note that Teams live captioning may not be enough to meet your non discrimination requirements. Your company may have a legal obligation to hire an ASL interpreter or human transcriber, including for in person meetings.

My biggest recommendation is to use a phone call for audio because he can then use America’s free video relay service for ASL or captioned telephone service. The captions on captioned telephone use both an AI and a human in conjunction, so they are much more accurate.

Try to do some audio-free team bonding exercises. Perhaps charades (with everyone typing answers).

If he uses ASL, learn some and provide resources to other teammates to learn some. Knowing some ASL, at minimum enough to do some small talk, will be a huge sign of respect towards him if that’s his native language.

Finally, something that people might not think about: If he misses something someone said and asks you what it was, never say "it's nothing" or "it wasn't important" or "it was just a joke" no matter how minor the comment was. Just repeat it no matter what.
