It's not safe on HN to tell the more obvious lies about EVs, renewable power, climate change etc. that are popular in certain circles due to the more technical audience so you get a lot of people with unusually strong views about how obsolete tech X is actually better for the planet than the solution that experts in the field have settled on.

Can't have people believing that experts and democratic governance is capable of performing even basic functions or the next stop is communism.

> Generalists, or people with a "wide T", are also a lot less valuable than specialists

I actually disagree with this. Speaking anecdotally but also someone who works at a FAANG-esque co, full stack or “wide stack” (front, back, infra, sre) are the most desirable due to their versatility and knowledge of the interworkings of various parts of the stack.

Why a fuse filesystem instead of just using sqlite's vfs features? FUSE adds an extra user-kernel-user context switch which is expensive compared to a quick user-user call for the vfs drivers.
Even RSUs are converted from a dollar value to a number of shares in the month you join. If you’re getting them a year later with this level of stock decline a $220k/year salary and $220k/year of stock would be $264k of compensation when you were expecting somewhere near $440k. So even with RSUs the pain is real.
I want to love VR, but I can't help but agree. I can't think of a time a walk through the neighborhood woods has made me nauseous :)
As someone who thought Alyx was really underwhelming, what makes you say that? The only thing I thought Alyx did well was the pick up system and the healing station. The healing had a cool physicality to it. But there was basically nothing else in the game that achieved that. Alyx would have been just as good on the wii imo.
Presumably they'd freeze snapshots/versions of the behavior at various points in time, similar to https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/index.html

An analogy from the C++ world: In late 2016, there was an evolving C++17 specification, and the latest versions of gcc and clang were starting to implement C++17 behaviors. But you could read the C++14 specification to understand "this is what everyone agreed on in 2014", and invoke your compiler with the -std=c++14 flag to get that behavior. If you already had older software written against the C++11 spec, invoke your compiler with -std=c++11.

Yup, I went to buy one last year, I think the advertised price was $40k, but the dealership wanted to charge me a $15k "dealership fee" for the pleasure of doing business with them. I went for a Tesla Model Y instead, and I'm very happy with it.
It sounds like a broader problem: you buy something digital and manufacturer changes it (most of the people may even like the update but you hate it). Maybe subscription payment model would make more sense (but tbh the whole economy needs some rethinking).

There were two things in your post that I'd like to highlight:

- they decided to have this session, but via a call, not e-mail - it's psychologically safer this way for the hiring manager who might be doing that against company guidelines

I switched full time more than decade ago, I was part-time before the switch. I often hear colleagues ranting that they don't want to spend time on setting things up (like audio, or dual screen, or figuring out how to connect their laptop to beam projector). I admit I am sometimes forced to spend some time fixing stuff that does not work to my liking, other times I have to fix something I have broken myself. Never more than an hour, and most of the times I manage to learn something new about my system. I would not trade my Arch for anything else in the world.

My first thought was back to the Celeron 300A CPU [1]. I had heard at the time that Intel had packaged Pentium 2 - 450s as Celeron 300As because they had too many but were not meeting the demand for the Celeron. It was cheaper to repackage already fabricated 450s than increase the 300A line throughput for an unknown demand curve.

The Wikipedia article says it was more of an efficiency improvement with the new Mendocino core with on board L2-cache. They really did mean for it to be a 300Mhz processor but it would easily run at 450.

Ah the days when if you got a fun product upgrade it couldn't be retracted years later...

Further, amazing that whomever made the decision to lock it down didn't consider the blow back versus the good will that was already established. ROI & Risk vs Reward... never forget them.

>>protection against hyperinflation,

>In 2022, cryptocurrencies have experienced over 100% inflation.

To be fair, my ignorant self assumed that for much of its timeline, Crypto fought hyperinflation by hyperdeflation. It is intentional design point of most Crypto to increase its value. This deflationary philosophy I assume goes immediately counter pretence of Crypto as currency - if my 1 token will be worth a significant X multiplier at timescale Y, I have zero incentive to exchange it for goods and services and full incentive to hoard it with assumption it'll be worth more tomorrow.
What business, running at scale in 2022 doesnt fall into this category - LOL
That's good for the path. But there's still concern with the filenames being there, along with being mapped to specific functions. Filenames can be relatively unique and makes signature matching extremely easy. So it can still cause issues to people who have to worry about authoritarian regimes, as it's not out of the realm of this being enough evidence to arrest someone for having all the filenames.

It also affects obfuscation and licensing in commercial products. As you can map most functions to a file based off of this handling and find code to target. It's even worse, as if you were to strip the string and replace them all with giberish, it's still possible to map each file by xref's and find related functions. With how signature are in RE tools, you can automatically detect crypto functions and then map that every other function in the file, finding licensing checks easily.

The compiler should really respect privacy, and while the ticket is ongoing, it's been ongoing for 6 years and they just made it a bug last year, with no progress. This is a huge blocker for businesses or privacy related domains which instantly makes the language a no-touch.

- You have to show that you (and your team) are useful. You have also to protect your team (within reasonable limits).

- In a large corporation there are many transversal departments, (legal, HR, accounting, PR, marketing). Make sure you understand what they wait from you. Tell to the right persons that you work with them.

- Get some access to the grapevine.

- Understand who your peers are, their personal history, their ambitions.

- Keep your ambitions within what is possible in real life, even if other people ask you to take risks.

- In a large corporation there are always undercurrents, such as unions for workers, extra work activities for the management, make sure you are aware of them and that they are not hostile.
I prefer the namespace approach with wg, as it becomes explicit and easier to use with services through JoinsNamespace. The routing inside the namespace is just using the main table.

This also allows to isolate the DNS queries by bind-mounting nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf as well as manage the isolated firewall for the namespace.

Does LiteFS needs to do "pattern matching" to know what SQLite writes (a txn or not e.g.)? With Litestream, it seems simply use SQLite API. Just curious how do you think through this.

Yes, the DNS-level analytics will measure a totally different number from the client-side Javascript stuff. I saw some similar results myself (using Cloudflare vs Squarespace analytics) and wrote about it in https://bobbiechen.com/blog/2021/12/21/counting-website-visi... and https://bobbiechen.com/blog/2021/12/23/follow-up-to-counting... . As a more recent data point, https://bobbiechen.com/blog/2022/7/20/being-on-call-sucks was on the front page of HN earlier this week - Squarespace Analytics shows around 17k page views last week, while Cloudflare shows over 250k.

You can pick one metric or the other to track. I'll point out that since Javascript analytics are typically blocked by adblockers, if you optimize for them, you might be driving away tech-savvy people who do use adblockers (since they're basically invisible to you).
1. And? The Feds made a promise when they created the Federal Forests. Are you saying they should not be required to follow to agreements set when they created the national forests?

2. Yes, they have completely stopped taking bids for timber harvest in my area. My country is screwed financially by this. Cattle ranchers existed as part of your arguement 1, so either you support argument one and are OK with cattle ranchers, or your argument in 1 is invalidated by your position on cattle ranchers.

3. Because the Federal government made this promise as the foundation of establishing these lands.

4. This is a lie. We have had no issues in my county with sustainable, you just made that up. The loggers definitely REQUIRE is be sustainable at this point to ensure employement, it's not 1800s wild west.

Anyone know the brand of bus and type of battery pack? Can't seem to find the info. Mainly wondering if it is a NMC or NCA pack or more stable LFP pack. LFP's are much safer with much lower chance for thermal runaway but they will still burn, they are also cheaper have much long cycle life and don't use nickel or cobalt but have a lower energy density. City buses would be a great application for LFP.
Why stop at that? Why not a 5 second ad every 10 miles?
> How you handle a file no longer existing vs. a socket disconnection are not likely to be very similar. I'm sure I'll get counter arguments to this,

That's my cue! I think the "everything is a file" is somewhat misunderstood. I might even rephrase it as "everything is a file descriptor" first, but then if you need to give a name to it, or ACL that thing, that's what the file-system is for: that all the objects share a common hierarchy, and different things that need names can be put in say, the same directory. I.e., that there is one hierarchy, for pipes, devices, normal files, etc.

I'd argue that the stuff that "is" a file (named or anonymous) or a file descriptor is actually rather small, and most operations are going to require knowing what kind of file you have.

E.g., in Linux, read()/write() behave differently when operating on, e.g., an eventfd, read() requires a buffer of at least 8 B.

Heck, "close" might really be the only thing that makes sense, generically. (I'd also argue that a (fallible¹) "link" call should be in that category, but alas, it isn't on Linux, and potentially unlink for similar reasons — i.e., give and remove names from a file. I think this is a design mistake personally, but Linux is what it is. What I think is a bigger mistake is having separate/isolated namespaces for separate types of objects. POSIX, and hence Linux, makes this error in a few spots.)

But if you're just writing a TCP server, yeah, that probably doesn't matter.

> and that you should write your applications to treat these the same.

But I wouldn't argue that. A socket likely is a socket for some very specific purpose (whatever the app is, most likely), and that specific purpose is going mean it will be treated as that.

In OOP terms, just b/c something might have a base class doesn't mean we always treat it as only an instance of the base class. Sometimes the stuff on the derived class is very important to the function of the program, and that's fine.

¹e.g., in the case of an anonymous normal file (an unlinked temp file, e.g., O_TMPFILE), attempting to link it on a different file-system would have to fail.

>Isn't it a bit akin to disclosing hidden defects for a house? If you have known about those defects, or they were properly disclosed to you when you bought the house, in many jurisdictions you're responsible to disclose them to the next buyer, are you not?

"If" is the operative word there. The first tweet says that this is the "~3rd owner of a 2013 Model S 60. At some point years ago the battery pack was swapped under warranty with a 90 pack." If the change occurred with the first owner, it's possible that the second owner didn't realize the magnitude of what they were told, or weren't even told at all, before they sold it to the next person.

It's also entirely possible that whoever had the battery replaced just had absolutely no idea what had been done to it.

We usually write a "reasonable best effort" clause into our deletion, that it will 100% be deleted from production within 30 days and automatically fall out of backups 60 days from there. This also helps since we can't control our downstream vendors such as Twilio, AWS SES, etc, who all have their own legal obligations and time frames.

Even for large health systems they have been okay with it.
I run marketing email databases. This is cute, but it doesn't actually do anything in most systems - either the employees all already get the marketing emails or there is a system-wide rule to suppress against the email domain.

If you actually want to (potentially) break something, try submitting some obscure characters or malformed html into some fields. Blank spaces in emails can particularly be a nuisance.

And if you want some real fun, some systems only enforce validation rules via client-side javascript. If you block them, you might be able to submit some real chaotic entries.

I'd call it a cautionary tale of favoring lower costs over being safer. It would also be outrageous and tragic if 3 kids died in a substandard home.

The problem with letting homeowners take responsibility is that most of the homeowners don't direct the building of their homes. So to ensure the homeowner has a basic understanding of what they're buying we implement minimum standards in a building code. We even have a permit process to make sure that those standards are planned for and met with inspections at various points.

> Shoppers at a supermarket chain in southern England[, "Southern Co-operative", ]are being tracked by facial recognition cameras, prompting a legal complaint by a privacy rights group[, Big Brother Watch]

> The facial recognition system, sold by surveillance company Facewatch, creates a biometric profile of every visitor to stores where the cameras are installed, enabling Southern Co-operative to create a "blacklist" of customers

> "We take our responsibilities around the use of facial recognition extremely seriously and work hard to balance our customers' rights with the need to protect our colleagues and customers from unacceptable violence and abuse", Southern Co-operative said. // It said it uses the facial recognition cameras only in stores [15%..20%] where there is a high level of crime to protect staff from known offenders and does not store images of an individual unless they have been identified as an offender [...] «The purpose of our limited and targeted use of facial recognition is to identify when a known offender enters one of our stores ... This gives our colleagues time to decide on any action they need to take, for example, asking them to politely leave the premises or escalating the incident if this is a breach of an injunction or a banning order»

One wonders what kind of special «violence and abuse» can be so frequent in southern England, and if it at a level and frequency which justifies such measures, there is an out of hand situation that should be assessed explicitly. It does not seem that the debate in the UK - and I listened many hours of that in the past few days - recognizes the problem.

Yeah. It does remind me of things like heated seat subscriptions for some other brands.

IIRC there you had 2 models, both with the same heated seat hardware, but if you paid for the feature outright during purchase, it will be enabled perpetually even after any resale. But the subscription model would require the subscription be re-applied by the new buyer. And, possibly, if you resold the remaining subscription time would not transfer (?).

The ecosystem is largely adopting Typescript as the canonical way to write javascript applications now, and having types makes the code more readable.
