The problem is that you are giving full power for creating de-facto standards to the rendering engine.

If Blink decides to support a feature, it becomes a de-facto standard even if the feature solely serves Google (think FLoC, AMP ...) or is hard to replicate.

It's also an issue because now the web is at risk to become only usable from devices that are physically able to run Blink/Webkit which means nobody in the future will be able to create a new useful device/os that cannot run Blink or Webkit.

It's also an issue with the good ol' technical debt : what happens when Blink/Webkit become a total mess full of hard to patch vulnerabilities or google/chrome specific code ? You basically cannot rewrite it from scratch unless you have the engineering power of a GAFAM.

There are tons of reasons why having a monoculture of rendering engine is an issue.
You are absolutely right, and media companies are the evilest of evil. But it's a little unclear why Intel felt it had to cave in. What would have happened if it had told Hollywood to go love itself somewhere? It's not like movie producers are remotely capable of making chips.
In that case I have no problem with the U.S. banning tiktok until China relaxes its laws.
As someone raised in India I didn't get the American dislike for organ meats. I love the liver, the tongue, the brain, and pretty much all the parts of the animal in their various forms. Most American meat preparations taste bland and uniform with really minor variations.
"I was just following orders" is not considered a legitimate excuse. The engineers have agency and should be considered a "reasonable person".
I assumed everyone posting on Glassdoor used such opsec.

It’s like a “must be this talk to ride” sign at a carnival ride.
you migrate into a database when you find you need an index, or a join.

This migration is easy to go from a flat file into a database tbh. And you can do this migration in pieces - copy the flat file and perform the ETL as a separate thing, all while your existing app runs fine unchanged. You can then implement the needed joins or indexing on this copy in the DB, and then schedule some sort of job to re-import the DB from the flat file.

Sure it's not real time, but it's enough to implement most features, with little effort from migrating the read/write code in your app from flat file to the DB. And nothing stops you from migrating the read/write api from flat files into the DB, after you find that it is really needed.

It's just another dark pattern their middle management cooks up under the guise of legitimacy.
Obligatory but necessary comment when seeing game engine links on HN:

“Has anyone made an actual game with this?”
The last time I used XSLT was in a Microsoft SSIS package to decode XML payloads into database rows that could be merged into SQL server tables.

Before I did this the previous engineer had written a bunch of stored procedures to do this that was both brittle and slow (processing time was 11 hours) but the SQL was fairly decent.

Once I used XSLT to do this the task ran in under 90 minutes and it was far easier to maintain (new fields, changing columns, etc).
There hasn't been any obvious reason to keep this secret behind encryption, so now there's a little buzz in the air if something newsworthy will be revealed once people start analyzing the microcode and diffs between microcode updates.
A good reminder that when you want to be anonymous on the internet, don't use any email / username / ip adress that can be linked back to you.

It's quite easy to create a throwaway email and send your review from a public wi-fi.
Or even just buy the data from data brokers. What you're highlighting is what makes TikTok different: there is a foreign adversary that is a major player in the attention economy. Observing is one thing, influencing is completely unacceptable. Especially in a post-truth society.

Neither FLoC nor AMP are part of the renderer. AMP isn't even clientside, it is a feature of the Google search webapp.

If Google were trying to leverage the renderer to assert Chrome over say Brave or Edge, sure, but they're not, and if they do, it will be forked.

Do we have the same concerns over type layout engine monoculture?
>>But, how big of a role will human designers have in the future as AI designers take on the lion’s share of the work? Will it take 5 hours for a designer to interface with a client for just one image? I think not. Let’s be extremely generous and say it takes 1 hour of client-tech interface time for a given image. AI just eliminated 4 out of every 5 hours of a designer’s workday. There is no way the entire gap can be filled with a worker simply taking on more assignments. If you multiply out the disruption across hundreds of thousands of designers and artists, then well, you get the picture.

If one could get graphic design work that is 20 times better for one fifth the cost, one would commission far more graphic design work. Easily five times as much, given the number of scenarios where the cost to benefit ratio of doing so would suddenly make it worthwhile.

Something similar has been happening in software development for decades. New frameworks, higher level programming languages, etc are all ways of automating more programming, by enabling the cloning of progressively more complex pre-made functions.

The result of this automation, and commensurate increase in programming productivity, has not been programmers becoming unemployed. It has been vastly more complex programs, allowing software, and software developers, to be utilized in more domains.
When I was 4 years old I was playing mac games on Mac OS 7 I think..
That's not really usable until they fix the issue where it wipes the tabs history.
If by 'vaporware' you mean decent chance that it happens, then yes.

It's a legit thing that's happening here. It may or may not come to fruition.
I'm not a mechanical engineer at all, unfortunately (most of HN readers are probably working in IT). And I don't have access to mechanical engineer friends, or the budget to pay people. So I hope someone is getting on it really fast now, because I'd say we need this urgently.
I strongly doubt that. I am in Europe right now the meat is the exact same quality if not slightly worse than what I am used to in America barring fast food.
I know you are half joking, but if you paid more attention, perhaps, vous pouvais parler français, maintenant.
The failure modes are substantially different, which changes the approach.

I studied elec eng for 4 years in the UK up to masters level. I went from being top of the class with a good knowledge of maths/physics to struggling. A few people moved from elec eng to cs and went from failing to getting a 1st. On graduation I had options to work in defense building radar and all sorts of stuff, but I didn't have the confidence to take up any of those options. I took a programming job which was basically adding numbers up, saving stuff to a database which I actually had some chance of succeeding in. I'd imagine within a couple of years that job would be paying double what I could make doing engineering.

I see quite a few places doing embedded work in the uk that involves some electronics. When I did need to do something that involved elec eng recently we did a procurement which ended up in an Indian company providing some custom built Arduino devices to do signal testing and report back to us. They were pretty good, but there was no sensible option where we could get the same thing done in Europe on budget.
Just the tail wagging the dog. Little c conservatives, including neoliberal democrats, are chomping at the bit to prevent a non-US company from controlling social media because they’re using it as a tracking system via the NSA and for the dual purpose of propaganda since Facebook’s Chief Exo Officer is friendly and/or “very friendly” with several authoritarians in both major parties.

They don’t want the possibility that another country could be doing this, even though there’s no evidence China is doing this, like Snowden unleashed for the USA. They could solve this with a law requiring data on US citizens be stored in the USA but then that’ll fuck up 5 eyes agreements for them and they can’t have that.

Personally: burn them all down, I would be fine with this happening because we need to eliminate all social media, period.
I've been online forever as MikeWarot or KA9DGX, depending on username requirements. It has served me well for finding stuff I found interesting in the past. Now that I've met another Mike Warot, who live(d?) in London, via the web, that might not be quite as useful as it was in the past.
The future of never happen.

The worlds worst privacy offenders make/sell phones. Google. Samsung. Apple.

Google, no need to explain.

Samsung? All their apps, their keyboard, collect, collect collect.

Apple? Walled garden of share data with Apple.

And beyond this, for example on Samsung builds, the GPS daemon calls home(Qualcomm? looked into it a year ago...) to update agps data, but also... provide tracking info.

None of these people want hardware kill switches.
They didn't say flooded with good workers...

Have you tried something like Vercel or Netlify?
It could be argued that refactoring is a form of optimization, you are just optimizing for maintainability of the code base rather than performance - in which case we should always be looking to optimize our code :)
I don't think I've ever had nurtia in jambalaya but, in general, a spicy stew is probably a pretty good match with animals in that vein.
These days lung biopsies are performed with CT scan guidance (CT was only invented in 1974, widespread use came much later), endobronchial ultrasound (post 2000), or surgical exploration. Minimally invasive surgical techniques have only been around for 20 years. Patients sometimes cough up cancer cells in sputum, so a definitive diagnosis could have been done that way. But faced with the prospect of a major surgical procedure, he or his doctors may have declined to pursue that, particularly as there wasn’t really any treatment.

I don’t have the necessary evidence to say for sure, but misdiagnosis is at least an order of magnitude more likely than spontaneous/Ikarian lifestyle induced lung cancer regression.
> Who cares, seriously?

First of all - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Read the guidelines. This is an unproductive useless comment which isn't encouraged in HN.

Also, others buddy! Others care. He didn't submit this. Others who follow his work did. I just knew this alias "spf13" until today. Not the person or his whereabouts. I run my website with Hugo. So while I didn't care before, NOW I DO! This is how you learn about new stuff. If you don't want, just move on from HN!

Why is this kind of unproductive comments cropping up again and again? Haven't these folks read HN guidelines? If you don't care, move on! Why comment anything at all?

I've always wondered if a car is still insurable after one loads custom firmware.
If you think transporting organs by car is a solution, then yeah, very much solved. But organs degrade every minute, so even a little speed up is very much worth it.
> You say that like there's a difference.

There is a difference. Actively preventing someone from committing suicide, taking them from the absolute brink of destruction, is the first step towards recovery. Intervention works.

> The first person I know who committed suicide, did so after being arrested for something that shouldn't have even been illegal. But the ordeal into which he was plunged by law enforcement was too much to handle. He was very stressed out by the shame of being in the newspaper and such, but nobody realized the degree until it was too late.

I'm sorry to hear that, but that's entirely non sequitur to my point.

> Want to make someone feel hopeless, start by sending police in place of counselors.

Intervention by police to prevent someone actively trying to kill himself results in better outcomes for the person than the person actually killing himself. Or it could be firefighters. Or a random passerby. Police are sent because they are what is available.
Matches my experience 100%. I'm a Software Developer in Germany and more than half of the EEs I know went into software because it was better money and a lot more available jobs, which might be even more important. We don't get Silicon Valley money here after all.

Oh, and also the scale I guess. I worked at a startup that did Hardware + Software. One hardware team (6-8 people), 5 software teams (~50 people).
This feels really unfair.

If it was so trivial other people would be doing it.
The UK has a special arrangement for nationally significant infrastructure projects. They are decided by a public enquiry rather than local authorities and can use powers like compulsory purchase.
In the UK at least virtually every town has the option to buy locally farmed possibly organic meat direct from the farm which is almost always fantastic. It might cost twice as much as supermarket meat (which is also ok at times), but at least you have a choice. UK / Europe also have several small private butcher shops in each town some of which give great quality and can provide exactly what you want, suggest cuts and recipes, same goes for fruit and veg - often cheaper than supermarkets. I didn't see much of these kind of options in the US.
If using linux or mac, just FUSE mount with rclone. If you need more privacy,load the mount with encryption so google has no idea about the files you are working with.
The US also runs on an authoritarian single party system, it's just that with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.
You have plausible deniability but just be careful because the cops can still get a warrant based on IP alone. Also most savvy companies wouldn't say that they're firing you for posting unfavorable reviews, but they'd still terminate you.
Thanks!

YouTube can be a real time sink! Have you checked out https://watchlimits.com/ - maybe that could help you use YouTube better?

I think a part that is missing from the "national security" aspect is not just the data harvesting, in particular what you can do with it: manipulate the narrative.

Maximize division, influence elections, spread misinformation, censorship, the like. Already happening in US-owned social networks, imagine what China can do on a China-owned network.
Really? Swift feels so much closer than this.
The examples of what map, reduce etc. could look like in "Why Go Getting Generics Will Not Change Idiomatic Go" are very awful, but chiefly because they repeatedly state many types that in most programming languages would be deducted or unneeded.

For example the line

return Filter(string)(func(s string) bool { return len(s) <= 2 },...

should contain no occurrence of 'bool' (it is implicit in the definition of a Filter) and at most one occurrence of 'string' (it is a filter over a string sequence if and only if the input of its defining predicate is a string).

Is there any alternative technique for functional style in Go?
Debug Envoy Proxy
This is wrong: try downloading something with Safari, which blocks third party cookies by default, and it works fine.

Instead, the problem is that downloading from Google Drive is using User-Agent sniffing to determine whether third party cookies are expected to be enabled, and choosing between implementations.

(Disclosure: I used to work at Google, but I don't know anything internal on this)
> The value is pretty limited when the answer is consistently and predictably "Yes".

If the answer was "we tried really hard, but couldn't figure it out" pretty sure the paper would not get published.
Would this kind of functionality not, more likely, be implemented on the behest of the CIA? The media companies could be used as a good cover though.
If you search for legal help with bad glassdoor reviews, most legal firms even advise not to go after glassdoor through the courts.
Blind promises that "all email addresses are hashed, salted and then encrypted. Blind accounts are stored separately from the hashed email addresses. This means that a user’s activity cannot be traced to an email. As an added measure, we do not collect real names.

What is your data format? I noticed that in different countries the data is exported differently and the app currently supports 3 different formats. If you give me a sample, I would be happy to update the tool.
What does this mean for the hordes of remote workers / digital nomads I wonder?
What are you talking about? IT is the most degree inclusive industry ever by far, even in your example. I like EE and created many things, but don't have a degree. Everyone knows I can't get an interview there, let alone job, forget equality.

Right, but I'm trying to consider the average user. They likely aren't aware their activity on their phone is being logged on WiFi. My assumption is that once they got it connected to WiFi, it leaves attention and isn't considered
This is hilariously inaccurate. There’s a whole dissertation on what REST is and it’s easily graspable, if you care to read it. REST is about hypermedia, if there is not hypermedia, it is not REST.

It must be said that confidence with which you present your inaccurate assertions is only going to make others as confused as you are.
We have the same concerns over any lower level components, yes. I don’t think a type layout engine is comparable to a web render.
Hi there, I fit your bill.

Not interested though because after 9 years of sensor experience software just pays triple my best pay in those years with easier deliverables. Never again.
Both are bad situations but the government has more power and control than tech companies.

It's only broken on Chrome, though. In Safari it works fine without third party cookies.
No, he's right and you're probably wrong. Depending on what you count as coding.

Stuff you need to do:

1. Write docs.

2. Update docs.

3. Run test suites.

4. Check test suite reports.

5. Fix tests or code if they fail.

6. Design work for code.

7. Requirements gathering/refinement.

8. Estimating work.

9. Investigating production issues.

10. Fixing production issues.

11. Deploying to various environments.

12. Investigating deployment failures.

13. Teaching and mentoring less experienced team mates.

14. Reading up on both tech you use and tech that you plan to use.

15. Syncing with other teams about new features or products you're working on.

16. Design work for test suites.

...

Most of those things are not "coding".

xdebug 3 has been released with great performance improvements.

https://php.watch/articles/xdebug2-vs-3-benchmark

And you actually can have xdebug installed without performance degradation if it is not automatically enabled on every request (think that was true for xdebug 2 as well). What you do is to send a special request payload to enable it when needed, can be done with a browser extension.

There is also phpdbg, shipped with php, it does not suffer from the same performance penalties that xdebug prior to version 3 had (not sure how it compares to xdebug 3). However it is a command line debugger only, it does not support remote debugging or IDE integration.

Most roads in the UK were co-opted from farm tracks and never really designed for cars. A lot of the grading of roads is just wishful thinking and not linked to the engineering specification of the road. And people are constantly surprised that the road they have spent the last ten years driving to work on is not an eight lane freeway.
You can get veggies, fruits, seeds, nuts, legumes, mushrooms all year round

Idk about production methods, but am forced to eat vegetables due to a medical condition. First concern, it is still not healthy after half a year and few consultants. Second, all highly available fruits and vegetables are so identical piece-wise that their semi-synthetic origin isn’t even a question to me, please correct me if I’m wrong. I think that access to really healthy/natural vegetables is as expensive and nontrivial as to healthy meat. I even know where I can get healthy meat in bulk (village economies), but have no idea where to start with plants.
One possibility might be that Intel thought that if they did not do it voluntarily, they might ultimately be forced to by legislation.
Can someone please make this, but for creating an orchestral arrangement from a piano theme (maybe with some hints?)
Piptools [1] resolves this by having a requirements.in file where you specify your top level dependencies, doing the lookup and merging of dependency versions and then generating a requirements.txt lock file. Honestly it’s the easiest and least complex of Python’s dependency tools that just gets out of your way instead of mandating a totally separate workflow a la Poetry.

A great user experience can make or break your product. According to Pendo, 69% of customers would rather go back to using their previous product than try something new with a poor UX design and if you offer the same functionality as another product, they’ll go with the one that has the better UX. These 5 tools can help you improve the user flow in your product, which will lead to a higher conversion rate and an overall better UX design. Use them in conjunction with one another to maximize their potential and boost your bottom line!
