I don't read it that way. There is reduced funding available now . So the current batch is smaller. They are still thinking of more than 10 year horizon to mature opportunities but the funds available for that runway is smaller. Hence the small batch. That is my read any way. The depression may be over in 2 years (say), but that does nothing for investor sentiment and available cash right now.
Being too cloudy without being too cloudy, as per the article, I've gone with a full stack in containers under Docker Compose one one EC2 server, including the database. Services are still logically separated and have a robust CI/CD set up but the cost is a 3rd of what an ECS set up with load balancers and RDS for the database would have been. It's also simpler. Have scripted the server set up, with regular back ups / snapshots but admit I would like db replication in there.

I’m in a similar situation (My company uses our own product internally).

The approach we take is:

- We dogfood our changes by setting up a Trello board with the tasks that need to be done and just work through it.

- Progressively rolling out changes to beta groups until we think we can go to 100%.

Not sure about the internal reporting thing though, that seems like a visibility issue into product ownership. I’m sure someone in support might have a better idea on that as they probably deal with similar problems for external feedback.
Not enough to stop Intel from killing it. Had they been using it seriously at volume this would not have happened.
I can see how it can be overwhelming, as with everything the beginning is the hardest but it will get easier over time. Seeing a ternary the tenth time will be much easier than the first.

I would look for the old-ish articles and tutorials that introduce es6, for example: https://babeljs.io/docs/en/learn/ idk if you need to go earlier, but surely there are tons of articles on each update to the language.

I think it's good to realize most of it is not new, it's largely the same stuff, just slightly different and more convenient.

Decentralizing technology has a history of enabling the disenfranchised to get what they couldn't get before. This could enable that. Admittedly, technology also has a history of enabling tyranny. But that doesn't make it untrue that technology has an ability to enable the disenfranchised to make better lives for themselves either.
Banning Linux would result in stagnating development because most Linux developers do not want criminal prosecution. Only the most diehard contributers would remain. No more drivers upstreamed from vendors.

Dead spider experiments: ‘Necrobotics researchers at Rice unnerving the internet
Hey, it's okay. I was in your exact boat a few years ago. Javascript has exploded in popularity in just a few years and yes, the ecosystem is horribly complex. It's an running gag even among full time JS devs how crazy it's gotten. None of us can keep up.

It's OK. Just tackle it one step at a time. Forget Typescript for now. Don't use third party libraries until you need them. Arrow functions are optional. Ternaries are a form of jargon/an optional shortcut.

If the other developer's code is too hard to read, that's okay, set it aside for now and you can come back to it when you have a little more experience.

Start with the problem you're actually trying to solve (which isn't terribly clear, sorry). You have XML and HTML you're trying to parse? Which is it? (XML will be much easier than HTML, because it's much stricter. HTML is notoriously loose, which is why there is only like three real browsers in the world.) What are you trying to do with the parsed input?

Regex probably isn't the best tool to use here. There are specialized parsers for these data formats that we can help you use, if we better understood your needs.

Ask. Ask a lot. Find a mentor if you can. Ask on Stack Overflow if you can't. It's totally okay. Modern JS is a new and exploding field and we're all pretty ignorant about it. Fortunately, 80% of it is relatively easy to learn, and the remaining 20% you can usually ignore or work around. Just take it one step at a time... it's not you. It really just is a chaotic ecosystem.
Schemas can be useful in this regard
Doesn't jive with me. Many companies paying at best domestic market rate are asking for top notch communication skills and people persons over tech skills. Meanwhile, most FAANG have far higher tech requirements, but would hire individuals who can barely speak proper English and even put them in the spot of hiring managers. If you value communication, you need a really good argument to look past hiring practices preferring to hire someone who'd be hard for strangers to understand in a presentation setting.

I'm fairly certain you're confusing anecdotes and culture with "big tech vs. your local shop". Software being a people problem meaning big tech is more people focused is a false dichotomy.
You could try to learn modern JavaScript/TypeScript as if it was a complete new programming environment you don’t know about. Which is a bit the case from what I can read.

A bit like learning Golang when you know C99.

Yeah, that is what I thought the message was intended for. Some people expect Xi to react, although that would also play into the hands of the US in a similar fashion.
Wow. An article about TikTok that has the word poison in it, that is not actually anti-TikTok. How far we have gone.

And yes! TikTok is how we break the shackles of big tech. TikTok on its own we can handle. But a Facebook backed by the full force of the US military surveillance industrial complex. That is going to kill off the whole planet.

Agreed about the fact that collective action will be the solution.
But about resources it is true that we can harvest them in a less destructive manner, will that be enough? Or do we also need to harvest less of them?

The gap we need to bridge is to harvest in such a less destructive manner that 1) they can regenerate themselves at the same rate as we harvest them, making our civilisation actually sustainable 2) they don't harm us directly indeed.

Can we bridge that gap by harvesting in a less destructive manner?

1) How is the phosphorus - vital for our current food system - that we harvest in mines concentrated for us during billions of years going to regenerate? Same for oil, gas, rare metals, all the silicon and metal that we disperse in our devices etc etc going to regenerate themselves? Should we bet on our ability to figure that out in the next 30-50 years?
2) so far the rate at which we harm ourselves due to the amount of garbage we throw at nature (i.e. everything we make, build and reject) has only increased with progress. Should we bet we are going to reverse that just with technology in the next 30-50 years?

If we lose the bet, the consequences are never seen in history.... I'd rather bet on more reliable methods to survive...

Their search has got pretty bad I've noticed. They've changed it to start showing random shit you might want to watch instead of the thing you actually searched for after the first 10 or so videos. They seem to repeat videos they think you ought to watch quite often in search results as well.

Significant downgrade on what it used to be.
And a massive increase in crypto scams. And a massive increase in collectibles prices like trading cards and old video games. So much cash sloshing around. Everything inflated except the consumer price index (especially if you adjust the automotive, fuel, and electronics sectors of CPI because those price increases reflect supply issues rather than stimulus demand). Where did all that money go?

The untargeted stimulus just enabled mob madness and scams paid for by tax dollars. Wealth redistribution from the tax payer to the dishonest and lucky.
Not sure about SIPC but the FDIC usually gets involved before the bank actually goes insolvent and helps find a plan to keep the accounts active the whole time (eg sell to bigger bank without insolvency issues). Very rare to reach the point of people needing to file a claim.

Anyways i don’t know how SIPC works but I bet it’s similar. Also if Robinhood can go under then so can lots of other neobanks so I’d be worried about money in all those accounts.

I would like to understand how this new system handles the following issues:

1. Sharing accounts. If I want to share a subscription to the Economist with my wife, say, I give her the username/password. Does the Apple/Google/MS alternative support multiple authorised identities?

2. Single point of compromise -- if the identity system or the phone is compromised, everything is compromised.

3. What if the biometric doesn't work, or the biometric sensing system doesn't work. Say my phone camera has just stopped working (which it coincidentally has, as I write this) ... does it freeze me out?

>Fresh water cost $1 per cubic metre.

That really depends on where you are, infrastructure, and economies of scale. The statement is ridiculous by itself.

If I pumped a cubic meter of drinking water here and mailed it to you, it would cost much more than $1. If I instead built pump and piping from scratch to provide you with a single cubic meter at your location, it would also cost way more. Especially if I could source neither parts nor know-how locally and instead had to ship them around half the globe.

TikTok is Big Tech. Neither will "kill off the whole planet", but it is so crazy to me that someone who can hate Facebook and the "US military surveillance industrial complex" can consequentially support TikTok.

Ask HN: How does the Reddit iOS app get its content for targeted ads?
Hello,

something extremely weird happened yesterday and I would like to understand it.

A colleague came at my desk and we discussed his new "Nike air force 1" shoes. There was a lot of trolling about them for 5-10 minutes (they are the ones with the purple things on the sides).

At that time, I didn't know anything about these shoes, had never seen them nor look for information about them in Google/Bing or any other Apple products.

One hour later, I saw an ad about these specific shoes on the Reddit iOS app. Since I never wrote anything about them, could it be that the Reddit iOS app used my iPhone's microphone (locked and in my pocket) to get such information?

Where does the Reddit iOS app get the ads shown to users?

Thanks.
Suggestion: Have an AI or text analyzer assign a grade level to all documentaries and talks. I say this after wasting some time tonight trying to find a documentary or lecture on early humans. The first 4 I tried were 6th to 8th grade level while one was in the style of Bible stories, so it was for even younger.

The nearest I can figure is home schoolers are creating these for their kids and uploading to pass them around. Their popularity appears to crowding out all the college level material.
There's currently hullabaloo regarding the Global Privacy Control HTTP header as a spiritual successor to Do Not Track. It's already enforceable in California under the California Consumer Protection Act and the specification suggests they are also targeting GDPR compliance (although I don't know how close/feasible that is).

If it were to see widespread adoption then all you would have to do is change a setting in your browser.
1) Energy is the limiting factor IF we decide to do different things than we have done so far. So far what we have done with energy is mainly deplete and destroy things. In other words: we are very clumsy in the way we control matter, we cause tremendous side effects with our actions that are going to end up swallowing us back into the abyss if we don't change.

2) Energy being the limiting factor is in itself a huge problem, given the amount of energy your problem requires: the amount of energy required to get the original quality raw materials back from an iPhone is orders of magnitude bigger than the one that was needed to extract them from nature in the first place. It seems irrational to bet on this as a means for getting to a sustainable model in the short term (30-50 years).

Software from the Pits of Hell: Remembering Flashstuffer
A lot of the numbers I’ve seen are basically a reversal to an existing trend line projected into 2022. Maybe a bit of “rebound” behavior for things that were possible (eg travel).

I suspect we’re going to see a regression of most new trends. Especially anything that felt too related to lockdowns.

There is lots of talk going around TikTok, especially now geopolitics has been added to this kind of discussion due to ongoing tensions between two giants. Instead of banning or removing the TikTok app, how about the US government put a firm privacy policy that forbids TikTok, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter and co from collecting excessive data on users? That would be a better solution, IMHO. Let users download and use whatever app they want but keep a firm privacy policy. But, of course, geopolitics will take over, so I have ZERO hope for a tight privacy policy for all apps.

Similarly, there is no such thing as a backdoor in apps for good guys (3 letter agencies) vs bad guys. Just make one rule for all. Otherwise, it is all grey areas open to abuse. Also, it is not just geopolitics; big social media like YouTube, Insta, FB and others face colossal competition from TikTok. As a result, they are losing users to TikTok. So they want this kind of ban (emphasis mine ), at least they won't object to it, and it is a slippery slope.
Python and Ruby have more startup overhead than Perl and PHP, so usually you don't want to pay that cost for every request.

Edit: Not sure why this is controversial. Here is a "hello world" benchmark I just ran on my machine, in units of hello worlds per second: Perl – 1020 runs/second; Python – 78 runs/second; Ruby – 30 runs/second.
Nice story, but whats the source of this story, only Zuckerberg or Moritz can have told the story.
> Edit: I see you're strictly working with only free/open source tooling. I commend your patience. I also don't see the point. It's not the right choice for either learning or getting things done at the current moment.

A bit late, but my original point was that so many of the tutorials appearing these days that claim to explain FPGA development, especially to people with a software background, don't deal with the practical problems that a SW dev has with FPGA development.

BTW this doesn't only apply to the open toolchain. The segfault problem specifically appeared with closed tools from the FPGA vendor. From a SW dev experience this is definitely new territory because things like javac, tsc, React, Hibernate, and log4j don't segfault if you look at them the wrong way, and even if they did, you can look at the source code and find what is causing the problem. None of this is possible with a closed, vendor-specific synthesis tool nor with a blackbox FPGA primitive with close to no documentation, and while it is often suggested that "FPGA development is hard because you have to think parallel", none of this is even remotely related to that.
Ask HN: Will the F in FAANG still be Facebook?
When I googled this, I got a ton of popcorn articles on the subject in relation to its parent company now known as Meta. Obviously I don’t care about this, if that required a name change then same goes for when Google adopted Alphabet.

The past two weeks in news, I’ve seen a lot of :

“Facebook has first ever decline in user growth”

“Facebook is chasing TikTok”

“Zuckerberg is turning up the heat”

“Metaverse numbers not as expected”

It’s pretty clear that Facebook is troubled. A lot of analysts predict that the platforms dominance is numbered.

To me and I’m sure others, the big five of FAANG represented the most significant companies not only by highest cultural influence in the tech industry, but highest performing in each sector. Netflix for streaming, Apple for consumer hardware, Facebook social networks, so on so fourth.

I always found Netflix to be questionable, but I’ll stow that aside. What I’m really curious about is why Facebook and for how much longer will it be apart of FAANG? Is it simply because TikTok and Spotify aren’t American companies?

YouTubers have become more professional and post a large number of videos optimized for monetization (trendy videos, videos around 10 minutes long with additional ads inserted in the video, etc.).

In addition, in order to maximize advertising revenue, YouTube tends to place more importance on new click-bait videos that have a rapid increase in views, rather than high quality videos that can be viewed over a long period of time.

That is the reason why many of those clickbait-like videos are the third one on the right side of the screen when a particular video is played.
