This amount of money is well within what you'd expect to pay for various proprietary software packages. You can probably add up all unused-but-not-deleted VMs, S3 buckets, and their payroll/vacation tracking software and you're at 1 million dollars.

I've started responding to "hey, do you want to talk to sales?" messages with "sure", just to see what stuff costs in the real world. Everything is 5 or 6 figures, even static website hosting. I wouldn't pay $20,000 a month to host a static website, but someone must be, because that's what people are asking for on these calls. I can see a world where you say yes to even a few of these vendors, and the cost of securing the entire Ruby ecosystem looks like a rounding error in comparison.

At the end of the day, I doubt the investors care. If they want to cut costs, there are much better ways.
Imagine you are super busy working all the time living in a country with a high amount of corruption. The government says "Here's some free """money""" just get this app and sign up".

Maybe you could take the time to research it but let's be honest, how the blockchain works is complicated to lay people. Also the history of coin is littered with scams, maybe different coins than btc but still.

You under estimate the fear the masses have of having the rug pulled from under them, especially when some are just trying to survive
You can simply enable those MDM profiles then enable Lockdown mode; they will stay on. You just can't enable new ones while Lockdown mode is enabled.
Think more about journalist. You need slack to talk to the rest of the team. You need WhatsApp to communicate with sources and locals in most of the world that’s not the US. Your iPhone is an important tool for your work in general - a dumb phone that can only make real phone calls and sms is not particularly close.

Phone calls and sms are also completely unprotected as opposed to chat apps with e2e.
Here we are talking about people that do not have bank accounts never mind cards though.

I think there is a deeper issue for not even trying it/getting free money -- which of course are used to acquire users here pretty aggressively.
I get the same error in latest Safari.
El Salvador already uses the US dollar, but it has no control over what the US does to its money supply.
I disagree and think you have a cynical take. The root of politics is resource distribution. Because this is complex, humans do a job that is a mix of self-interest,
Compromise, and (hopefully) some vision.

When it works, we don’t even see it. When it fails, we do what our brains love to do: over extrapolate incidents to patterns and lock it into our confirmation bias.
That's a weird comparison. The first time I heard about pipewire it replaced both pa and Jack for me without sacrificing anything and actually improved everything. And that was before it was picked up by distros. Wayland on the other hand is widely deployed and I still can't always use it for basic use cases like screen sharing.
You might have missed that Apple announced realtime security updates at WWDC [1].

This advice is wrong on so many levels. All the engineers do the True Work, everyone else is just bullshitting. Yeah sure. Could it be that you don't understand their jobs in the same way "they" don't understand your job? Who knows.
I'm with you. HN pedants are so god damn annoying.
If you know about inertia, the grabiy center is where inertia is minimized. But it's just a way to rephrase it.
Well, words do matter. This is HN...
Its an entirely free market. Just because one person doesn't understand the tech and loses his money doesn't mean that everyone else shouldn't be allowed to use it either.

Even if you don't buy into the crypto vision (I don't), a digital-only currency that isn't tied to any nation-state does deserve to exist.
> With Bitcoin, no one has control!

Well, until a little over 50% of the miners decide they don't like you.

Ethereum's fork proved "no one has control" is an illusion.
You should send your suggestions to Ruby Central.
My wife and I have gotten a lot of mileage out of playing these 1v1 games:

- Twilight Struggle
- Hive
- Patchwork

Choosing one really depends on mood. Twilight Struggle is the kind of game you have to buckle up and commit to playing for a while, but it's worth it. Hive and Patchwork are more bite-sized - both have enough complexity to be interesting, but with a much lower time commitment. You also have to refer to the rulebook less often with those two games. :)
I'd also be interested as to what parameters could possibly be tweaked such that capitalism would find it unprofitable to commodify food or at the very least more profitable to distribute it to those who can't afford it. Massive state and international intervention might be able to do it but this isn't the kind of thing we could fix with minor tax incentives and penalties.
I can’t speak for the others, but Rust definitely has separate namespaces for them. See https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/reference/names/namespaces.ht...
Fake chat app which allows you to control both sides in conversation
In Golang you can spawn a green thread on any function call with a single keyword: `go'.

The ergonomics are such that it's not difficult to use.

Why can't or shouldn't we have a mechanism comparably fantastic and easy to use in Python?
Elevators in Japan often support this; usually either a double-tap or press-and-hold the button to deselect.
I am not sure what libertarian really means but the idea that the rich of the past deserve to control the present and future strikes me as secretly authoritarian.
Getting grammar and spelling right makes for text that's much easier to read. Helping people remember these things is positive.
Yeah, it's been hard to find Ruby/Rails devs for... as long as I can remember. 2015 at least. Not sure if it's become harder.

What about hiring experienced devs and simply giving them an intro Ruby + Rails course? (which could be as simple as say, giving them 2-3 weeks to go through some self-directed learning)

I think companies often do this badly: they hire non-Ruby devs and expect them to learn by osmosis, which usually results devs simply writing a bunch of bad code - for example, Rails code that fights against core Rails assumptions and looks like Java/PHP/etc.

However, I also think it's pretty easy to get it right. If the company and developer have a good attitude about getting the dev immersed in Ruby/Rails a bit before turning them loose on the main codebase. I'm implementing a curriculum like that now in my current role.
in this work we tried to rely not only on automated evaluation scores but also on human evaluation for exactly this reason: we wanted to have a better understanding of how our model actually performs and how it correlates to automated scores.
I'm not gonna eat bugs no matter what
It's such an obvious idea that it almost certainly has to be deeply flawed, given that no one still in business is doing it.
What does that matter?

Even if I granted that, the only way to change the supermajority requirement IS a constitutional amendment, requiring a supermajority.

There is no state where you can blame the government not working based on the simple majority not trying hard enough (Barring a revolution).
The M1 and M2 have the hardware to drive two displays (the internal counts as one). The M1 Pro and M1 Max support four displays and the M1 Ultra probably supports eight.
You can already turn off iCloud features?
I wouldn't say it's just FE - many of my recruiter friends have this problem with ANY senior developer. It's low supply and low turnover.

Additionally, it could be your job posting not being enticing enough to get hits. I'm a senior FE dev and I saw some pretty bad job postings (hostile programming assessments, unpaid take home assignments, a circus of interviewing rounds). If you don't have your salary listed, that could be the issue too.

I can't speak for everyone here, but I'll take 2nd or 3rd best in compensation if the interviewing process isn't a 3-ring circus. ie, I will actively drop out to protect my time from bad interview pipelines.

My last two gigs were less than 2 hours of total conversation before a contract got signed, as an anecdote. Hell, I had one that was a 23 minute phonecall (it was awesome!). Some people just know how to hire someone after they look at a good LinkedIn or GitHub profile.

Just my 2 cents. As a selfish plug, you could talk to freelancers who have the expertise you need so stuff gets done in the meantime. It's not ideal, but at least you'd have the help...
You are right, that's usually not how it works.

Instead, there are big companies, who are running let's say the majority of their workloads in python. It's working well, it doesn't need to be very performant, but together all of the workloads are representing a considerable portion of your compute spend.

At a certain scale it makes sense to employ experts who can for example optimize Python itself, or the Linux kernel, or your DBMS. Not because you need the performance improvement for any specific workload, but to shave off 2% of your total compute spend.

This isn't applicable to small or medium companies usually, but it can work out for bigger ones.
Comparison of pandemic excess mortality 2020-2021 across empirical calculations
>Paying for that software is one way or another is a normal business expense.

It should be, but conventional bookkeeping hasn't really kept up with the economic realities of this industry. Same reason why they fail to account tech debt as a liability, refactoring as amortization and debugging as interest payments.
IMO Bunnie has the technical skills and the reputation to pull it off though.

I think it has about zero chance of withstanding physical attacks, which is important to me in a phone, but it's a nice effort.
Isn't the science on flossing not showing any benefit?

Edit: looked it up. No solid scientific evidence flossing helps.
Migrating Yelp's React Monorepo to Storybook
Hi, I'm putting together an online event called 31 Days of AI for Book-Lovers to coincide with US National Book Month, October 2022. I was struck by the specific call-out to translating literature on your demo page and would like to feature a specifically book-related application of NLLB on one of 'anchor days'. Can someone work with me on this?
If my competitor has two out of three sales ending in returns, then I can sell for a third of the price by not offering returns. That's another way of having a competitive market.
I liked their stuff more when it was made in Canada. Some of it is still pretty good and if you get on sale/clearance/used its not that bad. I've had some jackets for 10 years.
It's not something that has evidence - what they mean is that even if you have iCloud backups disabled, everyone you talk to might not. The point of e2ee is that both ends must have it encrypted - not just you and the server, but more abstractly, the communication partners.
It doesn't have to be the same pdf, it could have been an attachments from compromised machine via email/slack. "Hey, can you help me figure this unusual log/transaction summary". How many wouldn't open such an attachment from a "colleague"?
I was surprised to Cmd+F and not find "Amazon" mentioned here, because they seem to have some interesting approaches to meetings, such as distributing a memo and reading it (silently) en masse before discussing its contents. Some structure and especially some written direction sounds like it could seriously help in such confusing circumstances.
For them, presumably the same thing that emacs has over Notepad++ for me (though not IDEs, universally, just most editors). Emacs (as an environment) is almost fully extendable in user code with much greater ease than most other editors. And not just in a "write this plugin, place it in the right directory, and restart the editor" sense. In the more extreme sense of you can extend it live, even just temporarily. Squeak, as an environment, is very similar to that experience, probably even more extreme than what emacs offers in some ways. If it had a larger community behind it (to use in this style), I'd certainly entertain it.
You are absolutely right. Also on the part that it makes sense that you don't know since a lot of the information you receive isn't necessarily relevant to you as an engineer.

If something is unclear, the normal path forward is to ask a clarifying question. I wonder why OP hasn't mentioned or tried this at all. In my experience people are happy to answer these kind of questions because they don't want to lose their audience.

I also wonder why engineers are OK with the concept of technical abstractions, but are somehow in despair when business people use business abstractions. Most people here understand how abstractions are useful.

Why would anyone hold business people to higher standards than yourself? Do you really think that if you would explain a technical abstraction everything is immediately clear to anyone outside your domain? Surely not. Then why expect better from coworkers from other domains who are just people too?
Ask HN: Do mRNA vaccines need to be tested when updated to handle variants?
And if so, why? Won't the updated vaccines also be safe (though perhaps not as effective as desired)?

What if there isn't enough time for testing?
If you are using another country's currency you are tied to their monetary and indirectly fiscal policy which most likely does not align to yours.

In fact trying to get a neutral or deflationary currency is a no brainer. Especially, if you have a small banking system/network.

Of course there are gotchas.
Aggressive Measures, Rising Inequalities and Mass Formation During Covid-19
systemd then :)

but such comparisons will always have shortcomings.

For what it's worth, screensharing works fine for me. I use it with Zoom and Mattermost (webrtc). Are you on an old version? I'm on 1.18 I think (Debian 11)

Screen-recording is still a bit cringe. The builtin Gnome tool is OK, but a bit clunky. I miss Kazam.
Ask HN: What are the most promising technical solutions to energy/climate change
I'm less interested in purely political and societal challenges and solutions. Not that they are not important and or worth discussing. But I feel like I'm not up to date with what is possible or might be possible in the somewhat near future to solve one of the most pressing issues we are facing.

Some pointers:

- energy storage, batteries

- types of power plants

- refinements and improvements of existing solutions

- not yet exploited solutions

- new methods for recycling or repurposing waste
There are a few key differences. The main one is that our AI generates an explanation to answer your question directly; we go significantly further than they do in terms of synthesizing explanations. Same goes for snippets; on You.com, you usually need to click on a button (.e.g "Open Side Panel") to get a code snippet which adds friction. Furthermore, they seem to be simply showing the full Stack Overflow page; our approach is to find and rank the most relevant code snippet while offering a "See Reference" button to make it easy to go to the original page.

Overall, our goal is to have the highest signal-to-noise ratio of any search engine when it comes to developer searches.
Won't someone think of the transphobic gamers and their needs???
Realistically you cannot win against a resourceful adversary every time. But merely painting the situation through the lens of premature surrender is also a disservice.

It will be interesting to see what third-party researchers discover about these new protections. Might remember something about Apple rewriting format parsers for iMessage in memory-safe language with sandboxing as Blastdoor and it was discovered there was still plenty of attack-surface in the unprotected parsers.
It's not entirely clear yet who wins, but the current issues with Google Analytics in the EU seem to be partially related. Some countries have come to the conclusion that GA can't be legal if Google US has access to the data.
Signal wants your PSTN ID = real world ID, wants contacts from your phonebook which on Google phones generally means already cloudified, and is itself distributed through Google Play. Further, IIRC it's US-based so subject to acts of intervention from on high. I would be strongly suspicious of any metadata security claims, even if it nominally provides message or session-level encryption. Metadata is bad news.
It's an extremely difficult problem indeed. A lot of people on the team speak low-resource languages too (my native language as well!), so definitely resonate with what you're saying. My overall feeling is: yeah it's hard, and after decades we can't even do German translation perfectly. But if we don't work on it, it's not gonna happen. I really hope that people who are excited about technology for more languages can use what we've open sourced.
It's also pretty likely that there is variation in enamel formation and hardness (driven by genetic differences).
Most of the major long-term famines in living memory were caused by politics and armed conflict, not really from a lack of food. For example the 1983-85 Ethiopian famine happened in the middle of a war where opposing factions used hunger as a weapon and stole food from civilians. The leaders didn't give a shit about "human rights".
Might even call it crypto-fascism lol
hey, this sounds silly but I can't seem to find a link of all the languages covered in the 200 hundred languages. I've looked at the website and the blogpost and neither have a readily available link. Seems like a major oversight. There is of course a drop down in both but the languages there are a lot less than 200. I'm particularly interested in a list of the 55 African languages for example.
I'm not talking about warranty/defective item returns.

I'm talking about the fact that in America you can return pretty much anything, without having any reason. Don't want that party dress after you've worn it to the party? Return it! Don't want the big screen TV after your Super Bowl party? Return it! Can't profit from your stockpile of covid-shortage toilet paper? Return that too!
You are always tied to the monetary and fiscal policy of the majority of a currency’s participants.

Can you make your own currency? Of course. How will you back it? Who will trust it? Who governs those policies? These are people problems people want to solve without people (crypto folks), with expected results (speed running financial regulation). They came at the king (reserve currencies) and missed by a mile.
Agreed. I wish iOS had a "network access" permissions just like Android does. (Though to avoid permission fatigue for the average user, perhaps make it something only users that care can deny)

That said, I think this is pretty unrelated to protecting yourself from nation state actors. Mercenary spyware (like NSO) doesn't use a legitimate app store app as their initial infection point. I can think of many reasons for this: difficulty getting target to install it, app store approvals, leaking their 0days, leaving more of a paper trail, and avoiding scrutiny in general, etc. I'd of course love this feature for my own data privacy of course.
Gangi þér vel!
Libera is still quite active, just hop on and onto your favorite programming language channels there (or science or news or ..) and chances are you'll see plenty of chat activity instead of only joins and quits.

We are absolutely experimenting with non-text inputs (and outputs as you can see). A big problem we see in mainstream search engines is that syntax is not parsed well. Understanding code as context for the query could be huge for developer search.
In fairness the article does point if that Nomad isn’t a mass-market competitor.
In a worst case you can end up with the Scots Wikipedia situation, where some power editor created a bunch of pages using an entirely fabricated, overly stereotypical language and that influenced what people thought Scots actually was.
What did duanec do after Excel?
The US dollar was el Salvador's currency. They are trying to diversify away from that total dependence.
Webb’s Fine Guidance Sensor Provides a Preview
I'm amazed I had to scroll down this far to find the obvious explanation: a rug pull with a press release so the perpetrator doesn't have to fake their own death.

Edit: I thought the lack of details was fishy but the following would be tough to fake:

the FBI has attributed North Korea-based Lazarus Group, highly skilled hackers, to the Ronin Validator Security Breach. The US Government, specifically the Treasury Department, has sanctioned the address that received the stolen funds
I use it for scripting mainly when I don't need Python specific libraries like pandas. The tooling is pretty good as well.
hi @btheshoe, I work on this project in the data part. As others mentioned, the amount of data available for a language is not correlated to the number of speakers of that language, which explains the potential impact of focusing on these.
