Ask HN: Why would this page crash a browser tab even with JavaScript turned off?
In the course of trying to google an unknown temporary file found on my drive, I came across this Chinese webpage[0]. It crashed the browser tab in both Firefox and Chrome with Javascript turned off. Reading the source, it's clearly trying to do something nasty; its main script[1] just creates another script tag and injects something from Baidu into it, which doesn't load on its own (presumably only serves once per token, or only if it knows it's injected somehow). Much of the rest of the page looks to be the raw source of a PDF file with a lot of email links. Served this way, Cloudflare is replacing those mail links with cfemail protection.

What I really can't figure out is why it crashes the tab, or what the purpose of it is. Put on a hazmat suit if you check this one out, and obviously turn off Javascript.

Google Maps is much better as a navigator than as a map. It can tell you how to get to the specific location you are interested in, but it doesn't give you a good overview of the area.

It doesn't show you as much detail as it could. The color scheme has a poor contrast. The colored zones are ambiguous and often misleading. You see a random-looking sample of points of interest rather than a consistent listing of every single location of a certain category and significance. Major roads and streets are easy to see, while railroads fade into the background. And sometimes you can see major bridges only by zooming in, as Google Maps thinks they must be insignificant because you can't drive over them.
Sun Microsystems had a link to my blog on the Java home page for about a year. I had attended the first Java World Tour, blogged about it, and for 15 years I was the first “hit” searching for “Java consultant”. Thank you Java.

All that said, I don’t use Java much anymore, preferring to use Clojure when I need the rich JVM ecosystem. I do follow new Java language features and usually try them.

I use them for robotics work, but they'd be usable for industrial tasks as well. Significant outdoor use requires enclosures, but that's true for any of the cameras that aren't already IP67 rated (and not a lot of those have controllable lenses).

> nothing on the chip actually implements or understands NVMe

pretty sure that's false as well... can an X300 system boot a NVMe drive? I'd assume yes. It does that with a UEFI which lives... where? Oh right, on the chip.

Most NVMe SSDs don't provide legacy option roms anymore either.
This isn't about ignorance of the law though.
Right now there isn't really a big incentive to develop these things, that might change quickly once humanoid robots become commodities

"Look around" and "street view" are a pretty big deal, I use that all the time. Or more specifically I use street view because it exists here.

I know this is a pretty bay area centric site, but for most of the US Google has this feature and Apple still doesn't. Around 20 cities total, with a heavy concentration in California. For about of third of the states in the US they cover a single city, the majority of states they have nothing.

EDIT - what's particularly surprising to me is how thorough Apple's rollout has been in Canada compared to the US. They've got every city and every highway, as well as getting off the highway to drive tiny towns like Warren Ontario where the total points of interest are one fire hall, one post office, one cafe, one restaurant, one credit union, one mechanic, and one gas station.

https://duckduckgo.com/?va=j&t=hb&q=warren+ontario&ia=web&ia...

Why have they done so much in Canada, but are missing tons of major places in the US still? Houston but not Dallas or Austin, Miami but not Jacksonville or Orlando, Philly but not Pittsburgh, not Nashville or Memphis or Knoxville, not Colombus or Cleveland or Cincinnati. Not to mention the entire country outside of large cities.

Just makes me wonder what's going on over there. Did they drive a ton of miles and then realize their US cars were collecting defective data? Accidentally deleted a datacenter?
It's the largest player in the mobile ad space behind Google. Not a household name perhaps, but a name well known to engineer and biz dev alike, within the mobile space.
In the code I write and review I care about the buffer-flush semantics and will revise, or ask for a revision, if excessive flushing will result from too many std::endl uses when generating large volumes of output. It isn't just an academic point; you might want to look at that code to see if std::endl is justified. It is appropriate if you want to guarantee that a given record reaches the output file quickly, and if not much is written it's a don't-care.
countries that didn't have a functioning bureaucracy before becoming democracies, struggle to develop one after they become democracies. That's because democracy is very prone to corruption on a massive scale , in ways in which authoritarian regimes are not (they are oligarchic).
This is one reason answering questions on StackOverflow is so rewarding. You can save future you a ton of trouble by putting a (better) answer there and then stumbling onto it later. Ditto blog posts. Power tip: this also works for personal journals in searchable format.
Why not use something like Prometheus which already supports a wide array of languages?
That would normally be called a "flash controller" and yeah, of course that lives on the SSD.

(unless it doesn't - eMMC doesn't normally have a flash controller and you just do direct writes to the flash cells... as do some IOFusion PCIe cards that are just flash directly attached to PCIe with no controller. Sometimes that functionality is just software-based. Flash cards (eg microSD) usually also do not have a flash controller directly either.)

Anyway, it's true though that Apple does push the flash controller functionality into the SOC while AMD does not, Apple implements their SSD in a non-standard fashion, that's why it's not compatible with off-the-shelf drives. The flash is just flash on a board, I don't even think it's NVMe compatible at all either.

So if you want to be maximally pedantic... neither does Apple implement onboard NVMe controllers, just flash controllers ;)
if only the Carmack level was attainable for us mortals; I've moments where I trick myself into writing passable code but after a little research the same memory order semantics from my IDE stare back at me from Carmack's Doom 3 code 20 years ago. RIP

I have been learning Elixir for past couple of months. After a long time, I am in love with programming+design again. It has honestly given my brain a much needed refresh.

Of course, it can definitely be attributed, at least partly, to just moving to functional programming.

Every day I look forward to 6'o clock, so I can stop working and continue on my own projects.
I've found the directions from Apple Maps to be far easier to follow than what Google Maps gives. Heck Google Maps gives plenty of nonsensical directions, even in cities where Google has an office! (Seriously though, wasn't the Google Maps team in the Seattle area for awhile? Why so many long standing brain dead bugs with local stuff...)

"turn left in 600 ft" vs "turn left at the Jack in the Box up ahead."

IMHO the single largest improvement to Google Maps in the last few years has been the inclusion of traffic lights on the map. Location data, especially in cities, is often spotty and can be plus or minus a block, knowing I should turn at the stop light, or one intersection before the stop light, is the single most useful bit of information Google Maps gives me, and it is unfortunate I have to look down at my screen to glean this bit of important data.

I've listened to the instructions Uber's mapping app gives to drivers, and it also seems to be an improvement over what Google Maps has.

> apple needs to do a much better job of getting accurate POI (places of interest)

Parking garages is a huge one. The day Google Maps added parking structure information for corporate offices (well over a decade ago) it became far more useful. It doesn't always have it, but when it does, super nice.

Google Maps used to also accept tons of community contributions, for better and for worse. I am sad to see them go though, some people used to update food truck information regularly, and still today you can see the last location a food truck was marked as being at!

Edit: Google Maps has also gotten pathologically obsessed with the "technically fastest" route over the years. At present, they will regularly direct drivers to do stupid things like turn left across 3-4 lanes of highway traffic, instead of going down 1 block and using an intersection that has a left turn signal. Are Google's directions technically 1 minute faster? Sure, at the cost of 1 extra white hair on my head. Not a good trade off.
And functional programming is simple?
One thing is for sure, Polyfill is going to do a terrible job addressing the problem.

I feel you should have the option to buy gasoline futures at the gasoline station. Imagine buying X number of gallons at current prices and loading that onto a card. You can then pump those gallons from the same brand of gasoline at any time without worrying about the current price.
Violating sanctions is breaking the law, isn't it?
Google has most of the restaurant times around me correct, but the map is also littered with a bunch of businesses that don't exist. Their small-business data is a mess. It looks like a lot of independent contractor hustles that people have are incorrectly listed as brick and mortar businesses. There's at least a dozen in just my neighborhood -- single family homes incorrectly listed as things like night clubs, schools, retail stores, a church, etc.
The problem with "implementing a zero trust architecture" is that it's framing an ongoing process as an end state. You'll see the same disappointment that people saw when they decided "we're going to do DevOps".

I thought that "Shift Left" was going to be the new DevOps buzzword for security groups, but I liked that because it implied an ongoing process, not a "we're going to become perfect and fix this once and for all".

Google's BeyondCorp - the precursor to zero trust architecture - said you need to secure three things: users, devices, and application policies. Your security teams are probably already aware of many of good tools available to secure the users and apps, but the device security piece has very weak tooling even today. You may have heard of MDM software. No one wants to use it.
I used Apple Maps ONCE in my CarPlay enabled car.

I asked for directions to my daughter's school. It took me somewhere 5 miles away, but in the general area.

It's not a small or unknown school either, it's a well known and large preparatory school.

That's the kind of first experience that turns people off for good - I know it did me.
And outside of the US it only gets worse. Apple only lists about half of the stores in a shopping mall near where I live in Amsterdam. They still list a bank branch as open that has been closed for around two years now. Amusingly they also list the department store that replaced it (correctly at the same address). Both the bank and the department stores are from about the largest chains in the country, not obscure mom and pop stores.

But this article specially mentions Spring as some next generation rocket fuel to send Java even higher.

The problem I see is as far Java ecosystem goes Spring is big, respected dev framework to be used liberally anywhere. So if a developer like me call Spring a revolting piece of shit software it is just me asking to become jobless.
very good point. It's an important distinction to make and a first step in formally defining what is meant by "consciousness". Some people mean consciousness as in "I become unconscious when I sleep or faint" some as in "I exist, I am" others as a prerequisite for free will. As with many things, trying to define the concept helps understand it
> I wonder how the people in power form their opinions about what actions are necessary, and how the people making these decisions climb higher and higher into positions of power and decision making when the results all seem so awful. I suppose I'm only hearing about the bad outcomes, not the successes.

The simple answer is that the US military industrial complex dominates our foreign policy decisions. "Success" is measured in how much money was given to boeing and how much boeing agrees to give back through political donations and "speaking fees" after the politicians are out of office.

> Maybe, but I think some of it is just luck. Supply chain issues are starting to soften, finally. It all feels to me like we're still dealing with COVID bullwhip issues/echoes. The Fed has just been trying to manage the wave.

Weren't the high gas prices specifically fallout from the Ukraine-war? Is this an indication that the sanctions against Russia aren't working (e.g. they've had enough time to adjust to exporting to China/India, and their previous customers have had time to start importing more from the places China/India stopped importing from).

Is inflation falling in other areas?

Normally I'd consider this conspiracy theorist stuff, but at this point it's pretty clear that it's happening, that state actors are involved, and that they're very much interested in keeping what they have and that means distracting us from the problem and dismissing that it exists.

Hardware manufacturers are partly to blame too, both for not testing their products to catch these threats, but also for the lack of transparency. I get that it'd be difficult/expensive to recall and replace a bunch of physical devices which may or may not all be backdoored, and I wouldn't be surprised if some companies were told not to by some three letter agency here in the US too, but if it comes to light that they have been knowingly selling compromised hardware they should be dragged into court and made to pay for it.
Well, except that AppLovin is a (non-malware) ad tech company. So I mean, at least there's that.

But the play is more consolidation that anything. A large swath of mobile games use Unity, and a large swath of free games monetise using AppLovin. The Venn Diagram of these two is nearly a single circle.

Absolutely, since venture capital can potentially steer the current engine developers (with money) towards a direction that isn’t aligned to FOSS or indie game development. I hope that they can withstand any pressure from investors if it has potential to damage the integrity of the project. (They have already gotten donations/sponsors from some online casinos and shady blockchain/metaverse companies before, although I think it was with minimal strings attached.)

Since Godot is MIT other devs can always fork the engine and start developing from there if this ever happens, but the expertise from the original devs would still be lost.
“Ruby us far superior to devx” huh? They are pretty similar from a devx perspective, Ruby certainly isn’t far superior
"Investigating" means taking apart and systematically analyzing, exponentially cutting down the problem space. Making hypotheses, validating them, discarding the unconfirmed ones, and navigating further down the causal tree until you find the root cause. What this blog post is all about is called "bitching", pardon my French.

And it kinda makes sense given the tremendous pay gap between the academia and industry in Computer Science. So if instead of joining a startup or a corporate research team, you decide to sit in a University job, you are either lazy, or don't like accountability, or both. Sorry.
I wish. AFAIK it's just classic server-side rendering with full-page navigation. Mind you, that's the optimal solution in many cases. But a full-stack JavaScript web framework with something like Phoenix's channels and LiveView built in would be a killer combination.

Nobody has ever said "I don't want denser housing to be built anywhere" - they say "I don't want denser housing built near me, and I want the law to enforce my preference" (i.e. NIMBY). This isn't about outlawing single family housing, it's about letting economics dictate what can be built and where. If your neighbor wants to convert their house into a duplex, and two families want to live there, why should you be able to stop them?
We live in a time where having "incorrect" thoughts can have very severe consequences. Pollsters and survey conductors are going to have to get used to an ever increasingly number of people lying to them because they don't want to risk some offended mob coming after them for wrongthink. In the US, when it came to vaccines, there was one, and only one, acceptable thought: inject me as soon as possible. All other thoughts were verboten and most views that stray too far from that line still are unacceptable. Given the potential consequences, pollsters claiming answers will be held in strict confidence aren't going to make much headway against the cultural norms that offer personal destruction. It also doesn't help that many of these surveys are either conducted or sponsored by entities with strong political affinities.

The car in question uses a dual clutch transmission. You can operate it in either automatic or manual mode. In manual mode you're selecting the gears yourself using paddle shifters. But there's no clutch pedal.

The automatic mode is technically "automatic-manual" in that it operates differently than a true automatic transmission. The computer shifts gears in lieu of you using the paddle shifters. It tends to be slightly jerkier than a true automatic.

These days its extremely rare to find a new-release supercar with a stick-shift manual. They almost all use dual-clutch paddle shifters.
Like spraying them down in PFAS, insecticide, and wrapping them in plastic? Not sure that will go over well long term.

Something working for rockets doesn't mean it will work for planes. The physics are very different, and rockets can use inefficient and scarce fuels because there are relatively few rocket launches and they carry high-value payloads. Also, the idea that renewables will bring energy abundance is based on a shallow economic analysis that ignores material factors.
