Nothing says 'accountability' like picking one of the most law abiding groups (CCW holders, who are required to have on paper a relatively clean criminal background), and then releasing their private information regardless if they've committed or crime or even been suspected of one. I don't know if the reasoning here is the interest of public safety, but if it were that would be odd since on paper this group is less violent than the general population; people who have been pre-vetted not to have an unexpunged/unpardoned felony or record of domestic violence. Many of these people were victims of domestic violence and other harassers and abusers who very much don't want their location known publicly to these abusers, and got their CCW for protection from these abusers. Many were judges who have sent lots of angry people to jail.

Taking a group, the vast majority of which have done nothing wrong, and wholesale holding them 'accountable' by releasing their private information is senseless and indefensible.

You're speaking empirically, not in terms of risk exposure.

We're basically one major containment failure that is less lucky than Fukushima to completely invert those numbers.
It's TikTok. Funny jokes and dance videos. And they're collecting no more than American IT companies are doing.

"I just can't believe that a powerful country like America is letting a not-so-friendly military/civilian complex infiltrate it for somewhat unknown purpose."

Are you for real? The one country that fits the description of not-so-friendly military-complex is the U.S. itself.

A more pressing problem and question is that despite everything we learned from the CIA and NSA leaks, American companies and their software is inside every country, government, business and IT infrastructure, and is collecting vast amounts of sensitive data still to this day.

All while people like you are drawing attention to TikTok.
Without being able to see their contracts, I would imagine Pike and Thompson have been around the block long enough to know that selling time isn't always the best option. They may put in eight hours of work (although I believe both are basically retired at this point), but if that's not what they are selling, the time spent is moot.

To illustrate further, as a farmer, I sell grain, not time. The job requires my time to be inputted, yes, but if I put in eight hours of work or two hours of work to produce the same amount of grain, I am getting paid the same either way. Developers can structure themselves similarly, which is to say selling something that is the product of time, not time itself, if they so choose.

The average developer, especially those on the lower end of the pay scale, however, most commonly chooses to sell their time and their time alone. And when you are selling hours just like everyone else, price is going to converge within a relatively narrow range. An hour is an hour is an hour so it is difficult to differentiate if one hour is more valuable than another or how that hour translates into the output, and so it is priced accordingly.
An oversimplified ELI5 version is that simply shrinking the size changes the relative electrical characteristics of the pieces of the circuits which may cause the chip to no longer function correctly. This is partly because of physics, since making components of the circuit smaller and smaller affects its electrical properties and increases unwanted electrical effects, and partly because smaller processes require changes in how the chip is made which, in turn, changes the electrical properties of circuit components even if they are the same shape and size as the original.
Well, the article goes a bit into qualifying it. Up to the point of this:

In a 2019 study, she and her colleagues determined that daily deaths increased by 43% during a December 2013 heat wave in Buenos Aires.

Given the frequency of heat waves, a 0.4% increase is not an extraordinary claim.

Anyway, death attribution to heat waves is always messy.
Given that Apple's CPUs aren't available in cloud deployments, I couldn't care less other than when doing iDevices projects.
This tweet is a joke. Tristan knows perfectly that France did everything in its power to deploy renewables in the worst possible way (so as to prove that we must always rely on nuclear energy and support France's nuclear giants).

We have a word in French "foisennement" (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foisonnement#En_.C3.A9nerg.C3....): although it may not be possible to rely only on renewables without storage, it's also easy not to have such intermittent sources. Wind and solar compensate one another quite well when the grid is designed for that.

As we speak, one out of two French nuclear plant is offline. We had to restart coal plants recently.

Even RTE (>50% owned by EDF, a nuclear giant) says going 100% renewables by 2050 in France is both feasible and affordable: https://www.rte-france.com/analyses-tendances-et-prospective...
Yes. Biking across is not fun at all.
The article was very clear that "Key personnel ... including all the senior developers and me"
Looking at the videos of Russian soldiers shelling the Zhaporizha nuclear plant made me more aware of the downsides of nuclear power.

I am still in favor but I see there are just huge non preventable dangers, mostly dependent on political or competency failures, something that just happens in human society
I would be shocked if an A64FX core could go toe to toe with a Firestorm on general code. It just doesn't make sense for Fujitsu's use case to spend nearly as many gates on general improvements versus more vector ALUS.

> Mainstream nuclear power technology is easily repurposed to the manufacture of nuclear weapons. A corollary is that a world with no nuclear reactors is a world incapable of making nuclear bombs

That doesn't follow, just because <X> is one way to do <Y> doesn't mean you can't do <Y> without doing <X>.

It also doesn't really hold up in the real world - we had nuclear weapons before we had nuclear power plants. Admittedly we do refer to some of the devices used to make the first nuclear bombs as "reactors" (though they produced no electricity).
I have the exact opposite experience. GitHub CI is probably the worst CI I've used so far (except for custom homegrown messes), and Gitlab CI by far the best.

> The much bigger problem with nuclear energy is that humanity has not yet figured out how to handle the waste on the short term. Let alone on a time scale that is beyond human comprehension.

Yes we have. Breeder reactors. We just need to start actually using them.
The difference is that this user is legitimate, asking legitimate questions for legitimate reasons to have a legitimate dialogue while following all the rules. The mere supposition of their malintent is an invalid litmus test. It's about as good as treating someone as innocent until suspected of acting similar to a person guilty of annoyance, then banning them from the community in perpetuity.
"Because I we couldn't be sure" is never a legitimate reason to act so certainly in a manner which removes a member from a society.

Ursula von der Leyen was not elected by EU citizens, and she makes decisions that many governemts of smaller EU countries simply copy/implement. Even before deals with Pfizer there were many accusations of corruption, but I am not aware of any investigation. And I am not aware that many journalists are doing any research here. This is a huge problem.

Whether clearly enumerated rights in the constitution apply to the states or not is a judicial determination.

Before the 14th amendment, none of them did. Many states denied jury trials, etc.

Now, it's piecemeal based on the incorporation doctrine.

Again a piece of inconsistency: the right love the idea that the incorporation doctrine might restrict the states on firearms laws. But they don't love that the incorporation doctrine might prevent the states from passing the kinds of rights-squashing laws that they favor.

If the product was successful even with the bug that annoyed millions of users, then have you really contributed anything by fixing it? Sometimes, the answer is yes, but I think it makes sense to require data to back that up. Similarly, data should be required for new products as well. Like great, you built this new system, but no one used it so you actually just wasted a bunch of time.
Halo was never going to be Mac exclusive. It was going to be Mac/Windows like Bungie's other recent stuff at the time like Myth II. It was introduced at Macworld but it was always intended to have a Windows version.
Renewables are no match and no substitution to nuclear energy. No matter how much investment you dump into renewables, their energy density will remain inferior and sooner or later you will hit a threshold where, like it not, you will switch to full nuclear, because calculator batteries can't power industries. Nature has nothing better to offer (according to our current knowledge of physics) and that is not an opinion, but pure reality.

People don't want to accept this fact in the same way flat earthers don't want to accept that Earth is spheroid. They want to live in their imaginary worlds simply because they're insane.

But, today, if we were all 100% nuclear, you still have to deal with the fact that battery tech is inadequate to replace fossil. I believe that once a miracle happens such that a superior battery magically becomes trivially available to anyone, demand for power and pure market forces will cut the throat of renewables and society will completely shift to nuclear.
WordPerfect couldn't even work well with itself and bungled the transition from DOS to GUI hard. Word's biggest advantage was that it worked great on Windows, while WordPerfect had to tiptoe around offending their existing DOS experts.

History repeats itself in office suites (or at least rhymes) - the modern version of folks offended that the GUI version broke keyboard shortcuts are people convinced that because they managed to find things in the cluttered confusing menus, the ribbon must be awful.
In general, don't use Jenkins. It is mediocre piece of software with an even worse ecosystem. It self-implodes every now and then. Big tech companies build a lot of custom stuff to get it to work correctly. Once that is done sure, it works. I am not a fan of Github actions but to host GIT and Jenkins is not really a serious option. Pick another CI platform in that case.
I suspect anyone who is inclined to rent an AirBnb and then throw a party at it is not going to be overly concerned with whether AirBnb policy allows for parties or not.

Nowadays, tailscale or cloudflare access + tunnel works amazing well for private service that you might need access on untrusted network. So the needs for keeping them up to can be delayed a lot more (of course, jenkins is a special case since it might be pulling and executing untrusted code, but I think that is something you need to care even without security issue specific to jenkins itself).
> Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and maybe we are just not looking carefully at it. Or maybe the damage was yet done.

If it existed, then enemies of ferrets like yourself, who go so far as to trot out anecdotes about raccoons halfway across the world, would know after all these decades. And the California state regulators would quickly invoke it in their defense. It doesn't exist because it doesn't exist, not because no one cares or is ignorant.

This whole topic does illustrate the benefit of federalism in serving as 'the laboratories of democracy': if ferrets were banned federally, how would we ever know how absurd and false all your arguments about the vast ecological harms of ferrets were? It would be a case of the seen and the unseen. But with federalism, we can simply look at the other 49 states and roll our eyes at the hyperbole. They aren't perfect natural experiments, but they do fine here.
Hi all! This is Eduardo, Ploomber co-founder. I'm excited to show the HN community what we've been working! We'd love to get your feedback so please give it a try and let us know what you think!
All good points. I suppose if the law required this information the the seller would have to at least list the price as "Unknown / unable to obtain / inquire with starlink" giving the buyer a chance to dig into that issue. The seller could sell "as-is" but the issues could at least be listed. As-is disclosure requirements vary by state so maybe this would not help everyone.
I have always been fascinated by Elon and how his psyche works. Even being at the top of a pile of wealth, he still deeply craves and seeks validation, always coming off the rails for a while when the next love interest relationship implodes (Talulah, Talulah again, Grimes).

I cannot imagine what one of your children disowning you does to the self, nor if any amount of wealth paves over the pain. It is the ultimate rejection. I hope he takes it as the call it is to re-evaluate his values, priorities, and actions and improve as a human, if only for the sake of the relationship with his kids.
It seems like what should follow from this is rejecting the idea that the brain should be under conscious control. Brains just don't work that way. Why not find a way to make use of that?
Right or wrong, docs and tests are often given the lowest priority. Everything is good in moderation: you want some docs (especially for external APIs), some tests (integration > unit in many cases), but don't go overboard. You don't need 1000 unit tests for a little CRUD app. Documentation is subject to drift. For internal APIs, you're better off looking at the code.
Now go after the buyers. A nice big “deterrent” fine would suffice.
Oh wow that's awesome! K9 is the best mobile email client I've used! Congrats to the team!
This kind of happens in America today. I've worked for a Fortune 500 company that had a lot of trouble hiring good engineers on a full time basis, as the powers that be had decided that they shouldn't compare developer salaries to the market as large, but just their specific industry, so their idea of average market rate was off by tens of thousands of dollars.

When dealing with capital projects and contractors, however, they had no problems whatsoever giving people on very long contracts hourly rates that weren't just good for their industry, but would have been good for Northern California. I worked for 3 years straight, 40 hours a week, where I was making three times the take-home pay than coworkers with the same responsibilities. And this was after accounting for all taxes, health care, and giving myself more days off than the full time workers did.

Management seemed fine with that arrangement too. Said coworker's direct manager tried to talk to the CTO about the situation. The argument was that if they were happy paying people like me really well, and that they were losing their best FTEs to other companies in a regular basis, that maybe they should pay their best workers a competitive way, instead of ending up with FTEs that just were not competent enough to be hired at regular rates somewhere else. The answer was "If our best FTEs are getting poached by west coast companies, this means that we are good at training"

Remember the story about how some government agencies in charge of building things are getting hollowed out, losing all expertise, leading to very slow, very expensive projects being mostly handled by consultants? It's how it works in software for a big percentage of private sector firms that were already big in the 1970s.
Exactly. Plus the product is free. What do you expect? Oh no im gonna get targeted for ads on another site because of tiktok. What an uproar!
Seems like a nice idea but choosing recipients based on popularity is not going to reach the most deserving. Of the nominees, they should cut it down to those who are doing open source as a spare time hobby. Preferably those who have maintained some unfashionable, boring seeming infrastructure project for the past couple of decades. Of the names that are familiar to me on the nominee list, all are the type of people that are adept enough at self-promotion to be well paid anyway.

Pick the number 2 or 3 developer on small team projects rather than the well-known charismatic founder. For a pure one-man project it is a lot easier to solicit donations because there's no need to divide up the spoils. Many projects are small teams, only the biggest create foundations an have the capacity to have actual assets.
I have the same take as you, and reading all these comments makes me feel like I’m on crazy pills.

Google and Meta apparently get a pass because they’re “American companies.” Even though we know that they collect personal data and manipulate people en masse as part of their core product offerings. And of course, through PRISM and other programs, the US govt has access to much of it.

I think people are just scared because now China is doing the same op, but more overtly.
For the people who end up with their data on a government database, this is a distinction without a difference.
There is a difference between ”exercise” and ”power lifting”.

Cardio is definitely good for you, even though it releases the same peptides. In cardio you progress by going longer.

Lifting is a different beast. In it you progress by increasing weights, because increasing reps does not gain muscle as fast. Each trip to the gym causes muscle damage, which also releases opioids, and it is completely possible to become dependent on that in the same manner that someone cutting themselves becomes dependent on the opioids released by cutting.

I'm about to move home and with it upgrade my network, I'm considering adding a Mikrotik 10GbE switch in there. I currently run a couple of Ubiquiti switches and pfSense on a Protectli box since my EdgeRouter died. I was all in with Ubiquiti at one point but I'm really put off by their output of late.

I have no idea if the cheap £300 8-port 10GbE Mikrotik switch will do the job and I'd rather not spend any more on Ubiquiti, but I'll need a bit more than Amazon reviews to be sure whether or not to go that route in lieu of an alternative in that price range.
Statistically nobody goes out of they way to defeat emissions devices on comparable gas vehicles. Sure some people will neglect to replace stuff that fails over time but nobody is going looking for emissions delete stuff for gas cars and trucks whereas with diesels even new truck buyers who wouldn't consider touching anything consider "tuners"

Why is that?
Like many things in life, that’s a judgement call. Old age, person was living on borrowed time, so to speak. liver disease, person would have lived relatively healthy till something else naturally failed or unexpectedly failed.

> Programmers are most effective when they avoid writing code.

I understand the sentiment, but there's weak evidence to measure effectiveness by offloading work to others.

Not writing code for non-core purposes is not the same as avoiding it. Nor is avoiding policy-mandated code (things like tests and build scripts) making someone more effective, when it's shifting the load to others.
Today I learned, nice
"Klaatu barada nikto." You are thinking of "Gort"

> Gort is an eight-foot tall, seamless robot apparently constructed from a single piece of "flexible metal". He is but one member of a "race of robots" invented by an interplanetary confederation (described as "A sort of United Nations on a Planetary level" by Klaatu, who is a representative of that confederation) to protect their citizens against all aggression by destroying any aggressors. Klaatu describes "him" as one of an interstellar police force, holding irrevocable powers to "preserve the peace" by destroying any aggressor. The fear of provoking these robots acts as a deterrent against aggression.

Maybe my intuition is completely wrong here, but would the analog case be simplified if the target node+technology was chosen to have trace widths exactly 1/2 the size of the node being transitioned from?

I.e. the traces would have essentially the same standing-wave tuning requirements when modelled as waveguides; would catch a harmonic of the original frequency when acting as antennae; etc.

This kind of statement should always end with "for now". Data lives forever, laws change. Just take a look at Roe v. Wade and how formerly benign data now has potential legal implications for users.
I suspect you may be right. Many supplements that have been tried just get broken down in digestion and don't actually increase target levels in the target tissues, rather we need to find ways of increasing the intake of precursor or figuring out which microbiota are involved in the metabolism and giving them a helping hand or just adding them altogether
