Unsurprisingly, this paves the way for apps to be written for Linux or Android apps to work on Fuchsia on day 1 with Starnix. I will not be surprised to see that Fuchsia / Zircon will replace Linux and be the base of ChromeOS.

So this looks more than likely that Fuchsia is progressing to first replace ChromeOS, and then in the next couple of years to replace Android, as I predicted years ago. [0]

Far from an 'experiment' as wrongly predicted by many others 4 or 5 years ago. [1]

After being raised in a high-demand religion, I still struggle to undo so much of the entanglement inside of me.

Reparenting myself has been a huge part of my recovery, asking the parts of me that cause me pain or anxiety what they're trying to do, have grace for them, and relieve them of their duty.

I'm adding this article to my list of resources.
Why object to having a conversation? Sticking ones head in the sand is a sure way to stay ignorant, especially silly to do over objections to terminology.

Nice work.

Just one thing, analyze sites by total referring domains is not accurate as your result showed. A backlink can be easily faked and you can literally spam 1 million links within 1 day for any domain. Thus, this data source is not much useful.

For a more accurate result, try to use Ahrefs top 1 million domains, ranked by their traffics. Ahrefs rank sites by their ranking keywords, thus infer the traffic numbers, meaning, these websites are live, and ranking with some keywords.

You will see the result is much more accurate then, maybe not even a single website will be offline, because they are earning good cash.
Holy crap! I love this. I was trying to explain to my partner that NordVPN let us know that our password_hashes from our college login were leaked.

She's not into technical stuff, but we both enjoy simple, human ways to explain those types of things, instead of talking public private keys, or hashes and salts haha
Old systems only ran one program at a time (basically).
So boot floppy for OS into RAM, then load program floppy(s). Do the thing, save work to yet another floppy. Close program, maybe have to re-insert an OS floppy (ala MS-DOS). Then new floppy for next program. Only a king a 20MB RLL drive.
As far as I know, OpenJDK is unencumbered by commercial license concerns; I think it is GPL.

The last time I looked, RedHat was packaging a version for Windows.

Yes, my corporate IT stagers won't use it, but the Java corporate licenses are not as necessary as you might think.

Uncomfortable conclusion for you?
I'm fairly sure that Darwin's theories explain why humans have kids.
Rings very false to me. I was incredibly focused as a child, I could read a book and get so absorbed that I'd not hear people yelling to get my attention a few feet away. Nowadays I'm useless as far as attention span and ability to concentrate. I have to literally physically isolate myself from everything except my task, and then it still takes effort to concentrate.
This comment and the parent got me thinking of the contrast between "privilege" and "merit" as useful ways to describe some of the difference between small company land and the likes of Google. How many product disasters could be attributed to the wrong people accidentally possessing or ageing into privilege? I wonder if Plus or Reader could be phrased in these terms
I suspect the mismatch is actually due to the borrow checker's inability to do various common abstractions such as delegates and observers.

These patterns are quite useful, especially in stateful situations such as GUI. They help decouple observer from observable, and can give an architecture more flexibility in a lot of ways. Alas, the borrow checker isn't very amenable to that sort of style.
That’s because it required a special person to fix the telescope.
The first part of the title reminds me of a previous employer, where offboarding was not automated.

I know, because I recall a project to systematize and consistently revoke access to everything for anyone that left.

My point is: automating a process may not make the opposite process easy, but when it's manual, I'd kind of expect things to be no better and maybe worse.

If you don't even know exactly how a person was declared defunct, it can't be any easier to resurrect them.
> The shit you can do with MFC is still frightening, even today.

Only vaguely familiar with MFC. Elaborate?
Still confused. So what would be healthy in your mind? The sheer number of manufacturers competing in the Android ecosystem seems like the definition of a healthy market for Android phones—in contrast with iOS where there's 1 player. Obviously you can't have 10 manufacturers each with 50% market share, so what sign of health are you looking for that deviates so strongly from the status quo?
Uncomfortable? Not if it were true. But categoricals tend not to be so.

> But that doesn't mean that there aren't common use cases that benefit significantly from adding more bandwidth, nor does it mean that adding more upstream capacity is useless in the context of these other factors.

I agree! I just don't think it's what we should be pushing for right now.

> Also, let's be realistic: most regulators don't have anywhere close to the level of technical expertise that you'd expect from, say, a network engine

Well, I have higher standards than you do. I think regulators should have a very strong understanding of what they're regulating, or should talk to people who do.

> It's a lot easier to reduce everything to the single dimension that is download speed, and it's a lot easier for a layperson to understand said changes.

To me, this is a bit like saying we should still be measuring all CPUs according to clock-speed, because it's easier for a layperson to understand a single number. (And make no mistake, clock-speed is important!)

People here seem to think I'm letting the ISPs off the hook somehow. On the contrary, I think this fuss over bandwidth is great for the ISPs. People pay more for faster speeds because they think it's making their Zoom calls more reliable, when the actual culprit is just the piece of crap wifi router they're renting for $5 per month...
Agree. It was well written and presented some interesting ideas. I don't fully buy it but they were worth considering.
> No matter what people try to invent, it needs to do all Electron does but ways better.

Tauri strikes me as a good step up from Electron, and likely a better fit for Rust users (as you can code everything except for view in Rust), but I have just started playing with it.
Are these kernel modules?

Doesn't modprobe/insmod of a driver bring it into a strict GPLv2 environment?

If so, the Software Freedom Conservancy needs to "busybox" the recalcitrant OEMs.

How lightweight it is compared to other? Like default text editor?
In other industries a healthy fragmented market looks like the major player having 30 percent share, the second about 20, and the rest is divided among a dozens different competitors.

Obviously this is not the case at all in the android market.
“Various studies have found the heritability of IQ to be between 0.7 and 0.8 in adults”

However, it’s important to realize that environment is generally fairly constrained in these studies. A Twin study is hardly comparing Sierra Leone with Japan, or the Netherlands with North Korea. Extremes like iodine deficiency, disease, or fetal alcohol syndrome are similarly excluded.
I just saw a video yesterday from the WSJ about a new laser system in Israel ("The Iron Beam"). It's a 100 megawatt beam, and apparently the US military has a 300MW prototype working. How crazy is it that lasers are actual weapons now? I hate to ponder this, but I wonder when we'll see it used in ground based combat? Can you imagine a 300mw laser strafing across the front lines from 20 miles away? It's surreal to think about.

The Moral Shift: How a Company of All Good People Can Do (Some) Bad Things
I paid cash to a dude that I met in-person on localbitcoins and we met in a place that lacked cameras. I wore a hat and sunglasses (because it was bright in palo alto). This was back when one bitcoin was under $100 however. I even remembered to use a burner phone.

Opsec was still weak in terms of nation state actors but I was doing something legal, I just wanted to minimize the chance of random hassle.
If people have looked this hard and have found only tiny effects like 2 or 3 iq points, it suggests the effect is probably closer to zero due to scientists tendency to lean towards significance.

Maybe one way to think about it is this: walk into an elementary school and interact with kids in a classroom for any amount of time you want, access all their test scores. Then guess which kids were breastfed and which were not. I would bet that you wouldn’t do much better than chance.
Ask HN: Do Interns Create Value?
Do interns working in the technology field create value? Is 3 to 6 months enough to do meaningful work?
even if you are employed and can’t make your work public, just a few small projects will improve your chances.
i’ve spent the last 6 or so months interviewing applicants for senior programmer/analyst roles and the number of otherwise qualified candidates who have _literally zero_ public repos or projects or code samples is astounding.
You've got strong opinions here, but... chill. I'm not enjoying the wait, I'm not pushing it on others and some wait time to play a game is not suffering. The question was what does the higher speed enable - of course it makes lots of things better, but waiting less is not enabling.
You and me both, bud. Glad you found this informative!

I feel like maybe I should start an HN Psych Reading mailing list :)

Comcast just upgraded my fiber to 7 gbps. It’s spendy ($300/mo) but I also have gigabit Fios available for $80/mo.
if that case the case why are they all still making android phones if it isn't profitable? My perhaps naive presumption is that they are in fact profitable but not a high margin market. If it was not a profitable venture they wouldn't make them
Android seems [1] to be 34% (EDIT: or 23%? see [2]) vs. 15% for the top 2 players—is it really that stark of a contrast with 30% vs. 20% to call it unhealthy?

That's fair. The main reason Tauri isn't higher on my radar is that if you're going to make an app based on the web technology stack, why not just use Electron? The tooling is mature, there's lots of knowledge, and you can use Rust modules (through wasm) easily enough. I suppose it depends on the actual use case, I'm sure there is a niche for Tauri, but it doesn't intersect use cases I'm interested in particularly.
I haven't used Android since KitKat, but this is the first phone that's made me consider having one just to play with, if only for the design.

Mmmmmm a kernel call translator.

Microsoft attempted to do it with WSL.

Then abandoned the idea and went with a VM called WSL v2.

I have no solid proof but I believe at least one of the factors were https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/2028 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/3031 -- the ptrace() syscall is not a single syscall but more like the infamous rabbit hole which you have no idea the depth of.

MicroSD cards - about the size of a fingernail - absolutely come in sizes up to 1TB, that's not controversial or dodgy brands selling fakes. There's many brands selling cards at 512GB, ten times your BluRay example.

Portable flash drives using M.2 drives internally could reasonably be up to 8TB, but being at the high end they're expensive.
> Judging by weak arms supplies by Europeans who don’t want to anger their gas supplier - Putin is far from defeat.

The subthread was discussing what would happen in the event Russia was forced to abandon the invasion, if you want to object to discussing that possibility as reasonable, the place is several posts upthread.

(Also, Western aid delivered since the major escalation by Russia this year has been several multiples of Ukraine’s annual defense spending and a sizable fraction of Russia’s annual defense spending. It is not “weak” arms supplies by any reasonable standard.)
Rust can be good for implementation of UI system but as a language-behind-UI it is bad - its advantages (e.g. strictness) directly translate to disadvantages in that area.

At the end, main idea of initial Rust design is to be the language with what browser is implemented.

JavaScript (in ES2020 specification) is really good enough as UI automation language. If not JS then TS.

Just in case in Sciter I've added native JSX to JS. JSX is an ergonomic way of defining tree alike literals that used for UI DOM population and patching.
If someone pulls a gun on me my quarrel is with them.
Being in an “affluent neighborhood” isn’t really the gating factor though. Many of those places aren’t development friendly at all.

Meanwhile my red county has farms wired up with fiber.
In general, absolutely- they can end up doing extremely valuable work. The magic happens when they work on a cool project that ends up being transformative to the business but didn't originally seem valuable enough to dedicate engineering resources to exploring.

They can also be assigned useless busy work, it's always a gamble and varies entirely by their capabilities and skills, as well as who is managing them.
Heritiblity of a trait is not traditionally determined in twins studies but can be done on any random sample of the general population.

FWIW, you see the similar trend in adopted children - as they grow older, their IQ trends from being close to their adoptive parents to getting closer to their (completely uninvolved) biological parent.
Nihilism. Three billion years of evolution, positive reproductive strategies brought you to this point. To voluntarily throw it away is the ultimate expression of nihilism.
This product makes no sense to me as a technical writer. So much of what I do requires "checking" what was written earlier (e.g. for notation consistency, for references, or to establish parallel structure).

In fact I seek exactly the opposite—a writing interface with as much vertical context as humanly possible, which I have found in the vertical monitor (a regular monitor that rotates 90 degrees), see the pictures in this tweet https://twitter.com/minireference/status/1508208193104666628

> Is the cost of projects such as Webb so high because of high launch costs

In my head (and I totally have nothing to do with NASA/JWT), it’s the reliability requirements.

I have this discussion with clients a lot, I had it just last week. They’ll come to us with a project with some vague requirements and I’ll ask “what are your reliability requirements here?” and very often they claim “this is business critical, it needs to be 100% reliable”. So I go into my spiel about how 100% is not an achievable goal, and we need to be realistic about whether their actual requirement if 99.9999% or 99% or somewhere in between. For web/app-backend/*aaS type projects I’ll point out I can provide 99% SLA hosting for around $100/month, but that each extra “nine” costs ten times more. If you want guarantee less than an hour of downtime per month, it’ll cost you $1000/month to host, if you want less that 5 minutes a month of downtime I’ll charge 10,000. If you need less than 30seconds a month of downtime we’re talking an on-call team of 5 engineers on 24x7 rosters and that’ll cost you $100,000 a month.

If I were launching a one off custom built billion dollar telescope to an orbit a million miles away with practically zero chance of ever fixing anything that might need “hands on” or replacement, I’d be looking very carefully at the costs for 6, 7, or 8 nines of reliability. And I’d choose to spend a _lot_ more than most people would consider “reasonable”.

There’s a difference between monthly web hosting costs and the JWT reliability, but instead of 10 or 100 million a month over the life of the project, they need to spend a similarly astronomical budget on the architecture, design, manufacturing, and testing all up front.

Can you imagine designing a web hosting platform where the requirement was to run for 5+ years with zero downtime and zero human intervention? U can’t “more hardware” your way out of reality there, and you can’t ignore the risk of your cloud hosting going down (or under). So you now need to think along the lines of 8 nines of HA platform with exception handling and self healing for every possible scenario, in a multi cloud configuration in case Amazon goes into liquidation, that is resilient to _everything_ from as yet undiscovered OS and hardware vulnerabilities to DNS and SSL cert outages and BGP hijacks.

(That’s turning into a fascinating thought experiment for me now. I wonder how I’d plan things if someone said “I’ll pay to 1 billion dollars if you build me a (non trivial) backend hosted platform/application, that has less than 1 second of downtime in 5 years, and the _only_ maintenance you can do is reboots or software updates over a 300 baud dialup modem, no platform/hardware configuration changes allowed..)
Not generally, intern projects serve as prototypes and hiring projects. Every now and then someone knocks it out of the park.

Without interns our hiring pipeline would be insufficient for our needs. With interns we get some training time etc.
The “Internet scale” input-to-profit function is most certainly not linear.

Introducing linear cost centers would cut into the profit margins that essentially define “Big Tech” these days.

Yeah Apple retail and the Genius Bar in particular is an interesting case. Apple clearly invests a lot on the customer experience in those contexts. I would argue that’s a value add to their massive hardware sales. Apple is a much more “traditional” company than most FAANG in that sense. Its web services/ dev relations divisions have the same old modern internet scale company customer service problems though.

Edit: Apple’s text/phone support for hardware purchases is also excellent.
I'm sure it's your imagination. They've already moved to inflation is Biden's fault. They don't have time to fix their past mistakes
Sounds nice, I am interested in get ting started with GTK4 but I would only be able to do so with JS language, that language I didn't even recognized so its off limits for me :l

Nonetheless, I would love to see something that would simplify or abstract GTK4 development that I could actually use.

I don't like React: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31981947

> In Cocoa, scroll position is part of the view's state, a mere property of the view. This is simple because the UI itself is stateful.

> In React, scroll position is typically not part of the state from which we project the view. Instead this state is attached to the projection itself (e.g. a HTML node) and we are dependent on the "Memoization Map" to preserve it. So this memoization is now required for the correct functioning of the app. The "pure function" abstraction is leaking.
C# for GNOME people was Mono, which was started and incubated in GNOME. Including MonoDevelop, which is now Visual Studio for Mac.
If I recall correctly, damage rects are a raster-stage optimization that rerenders components only if they have changed ('dirtied') since the previous render. You could extend this concept of 'damage rect' to the next layer down, like React has pursued with the vdom/dom split. If you continue extending the analogy through every layer (raster, layout, scene graph, component hierarchy, data model, ...) all the way down to and including the application interaction model ("user has pressed the E key", "received IO result", ...) and then statically project every interaction model event back up through all the layers to derive a rerender box, then I think you could say damage rects are kinda like deltas. (I think this explanation is mostly reasonable.)
That's right I owned an Atari STFM with 4MB of RAM.

As another example You could easily make RAM disks via a desktop menu, to facilitate the common setup of a single built in floppy drive. So you could copy files off into RAM via the GEM desktop GUI (literally drag and drop) and then put another disk in etc.

Random aside: I accidentally found that this machine would transmit audio over FM radio for a short but very useful range automatically.. blew my mind as a kid. I could never find anything official about this online later so not sure if it was an intentional design, poor EM design of the audio chip, or a hack of my particular 2nd hand franken-tari - either way it was super useful to have wireless audio in the 90s.
Couldn't Google force (b) relatively easily by saying that starting at some date in the near future, newly released phones are only allowed to ship with GApps if all of their drivers are upstreamed?
