I guess I'm just confused because I don't see how what you're linking answers my question. For example, the github link here shows mostly bool values and bytes. The strings I do see do include name, so I do get the argument that your name is stored (though you choose your name). But the code makes me think it is only storing a string to tell the program where your profile picture is. As I understand it, the server holds this information (encrypted) but still requires your phone to decrypt and even provide the source for things like the profile picture. This doesn't seem as bad as what you suggested previously.

As for SGX, my understanding is that 1) this exploit is pretty technical 2) it requires physical access and 3) that it is not the primary method of security, but a secondary one. If I understand this correctly I don't really see why this is an issue.

I'm not quite sure what I'm missing here, but I do appreciate your responses. I'm more than willing to admit that I just don't know/understand. I'm not sure where the breakdown in communication is happening (I'm not a security expert so it very well might be me).

> Such people have spiritual holes, which they deny, but are there none the less. They try to fill these holes with material comforts--food, sex, pills, money, et. al.

What about people who are agnostic, don't abuse these things, and feel happy? Do they have spiritual holes?

> More restaurants, more drugs, more trips, more money, more hookups

All of these things are on the decline in the United States among young people. They are using drugs/alcohol and having sex less frequently than any previous generation. They are also the least religious.

Is it possible that agnosticism is not a predictor of pleasure-seeking activities?

Yeah, I saw that. Given their "solve" though, this seems like an odd place they ended up no? They're going to have redundant copies on other machines the ScyllaDB anyway (which also has its own caching mechanism), so a failure on a read isn't that catastrophic (and in the cloud, you just spin up a new node and terminate the old one... something ScyllaDB handles very gracefully).

Yes - this is a silly echo chamber thought that I only see on this website. In most companies it's not social managers vs antisocial technical folks. And even in software companies it's not the case.

In most companies, the younger half of the employees tend to want to socialize more, tend to live in smaller cramped places, and want learn from experienced people in person.

The older half of employees tend to have bigger houses with personal offices, don't want to be constantly bothered with questions from the younguns, might be married and not care as much about fraternizing with co-workers, and maybe have kids and other personal responsibilities that make the flexibility of remote work all the more appealing.
They can though. I guarantee you that in most large cities, almost everywhere within them, you're closer to an open and available charge point than you are to a public gas station. Putting fewer car-miles in a city is a very good thing. Especially when your car spews exhaust everywhere it goes.
This article is an opinion piece, regardless of what they call it. The audience is those who love Elon Musk and hate the current leadership of Twitter and only want to hear that.

It's hard to tell what any of this means from it, because it's too busy pushing that agenda.

From what I can tell, this essentially means nothing, it's a fairly boring part of discovery.
I presume you're familiar with https://github.com/canonical/dqlite (made by my employer) and https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite (unrelated)? How will mvsqlite compare to those?
> Some high performing, individual contributor, highly self-motivated knowledge workers may be more productive in a fully remote environment, but I think it's very much the exception.

This probably depends on industry and job function.

For software developers working for a software company, I think it's the rule, not the exception. Our company saw a significant productivity boost as soon as the engineering department went remote, and I've heard the same from other companies as well.

Even better, being remote-first means a software company opens itself up to a much larger, more diverse talent pool. Hiring excellent ICs wherever they may be allows you to compete with the best for the best.

I live in an area with only one large software company in a 25 mile radius - one I used to work for. But I left it for a remote-first startup in Los Angeles. I still live in the same house with my wife and kids; we didn't have to move them and start over, something for which I am deeply grateful. More is expected of me (which I am thrilled to deliver) and I'm paid a lot more too.
I did some work several years ago using (I think) DB Browser for SQLite: https://sqlitebrowser.org/

Mostly just analysis, no app building. But it is a great tool
Is that the same one that was on the stanford edx clone site?

edx seems to be putting more behind a paywall and jacking up the price in a way that's pretty disappointing. That one is what $150 for the computer to tell you if the numbers you typed in some boxes is what was expected, for example. I mean, looking up the answer in the back of the book is worth that? The certificate is worth absolutely nothing to anyone save for how it makes them feel.
The next one up on GCP is about $15 and supports a much higher workload. You're also not factoring in the developer costs to switch from SQLite to Postgres when you decide you really need some scale...
Yup. That's my project. Doing what I can.
Cavium dropped Arm32 support in 2014: "Only the 64-bit AArch64 execution state is support. No 32-bit AArch32 support" https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/cavium/thunderx

Qualcomm dropped Arm32 in Falkor, which shipped in 2017: "AArch64 only" https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/qualcomm/microarchitectures/fal...

Arm64 is really a wild and radical departure from Arm32, they're night-and-day different which is why dumping 32-bit support is attractive. Compare this with x86 where you have a microcode backdoor^H^H^Hengine to smooth over the differences, or POWER64/MIPS64 which built off of very clean 32-bit designs and stayed true to them. And of course RISC-V is the non-trademark-infringing name for MIPS-VI.

Enterprise ssd is not the same as a consumer one.
Postgres is a great default, no doubt, but it is still more complex to setup and maintain OR much more expensive to use as a managed offering than SQLite. Postgres extension upgrades can get pretty hairy, even on managed services. SQLite is a data file, so with projects like litestream, getting back to a working state is as simple as it gets, its a file.

SQLite definitely has its own problems, but using Postgres over SQLite and vice versa is still making a trade off. There is a massive spectrum between "tiny app" and "global scale SaaS", and with hardware improvements, SQLite can handle quite a lot. Would I pick SQLite as the default to use when aiming to build another "global scale SaaS"? No, I would more likely default to Postgres as well, but it definitely shines in a lot more scenarios than just in a local app.

Ask HN: Are you going to start paying for copilot?
It's an incredible tool and it has saved me so much time already.

I have a couple of gripes with it though... first, it's too aggressive... Press enter, doing so reformatting, it takes over the screen with suggestions sometimes 5-10 lines long.

So I find myself turning it off because I can't have it on a shortcut nor define how long the timeout should be before suggesting (hint hint feature requests)... That means I'd use it about 10% of the month, as is.

It is however the best one so far, by a mile. The other ones I tried where joke worthy in comparison.

Are you going to start paying when the trial period ends?

Why are you comparing GCP to Hetzner? You can easily deploy Postgres with auto backups to S3 using Hetzner as well.
We use an embedded postgres in our tests (it is just literally a vanilla postgres), the thing starts up fast and runs great. I'm sure there must be other embedded of examples out there.

I'm sure I could find reasons to use sqlite, but I'd have to find reasons NOT to use postgres if I ever thought I'd need its capabilities.
IRC daemons aren't saving PRIVMSGs and other events to disk. They send them to the target user/channel and then that memory is freed. This comparison makes no sense.
Cool!

Now, I'm not personally interested in reverse-engineering arbitrary binaries to audit them for security virtues or vulnerabilities...

But, with respect to compilers, ancient compilers, ancient compilers which exist in binary form only (no source code!), ancient compilers which exist in binary form only, where the company and/or individuals that once produced them -- have long since went out of business, ancient compilers that (because they are so old!) -- are no longer viable products in the markets of today, that is, they could no longer be sold for any profit...

Well, for those ancient, binary-only compilers -- I think tools like the one you've outlined above -- would be excellent, excellent research tools(!) for future computer historians and academics, to morally/ethically/legally/lawfully decompile those old binaries -- for greater understanding(s) of what they were, how they worked, how they were programmed, and how the original authors thought about compiling code!

Anyway, great link!
>all of it is built and delivered by groups of people that see each other every day in offices.

This is surprisingly true of much of the world, though a little more evident in Europe than most places. One of the (few) fun things about fieldwalking as an archaeologist is how dense archaeological sites are. I've done very few surveys where there wasn't something every few dozen meters. You're usually within sight of a habitation site or 3 as well.

We don't see it because our built environment tends to hide it and we're not usually looking closely, but it's there.
I use quaternions in 3D geometry contexts a lot right now. Manipulating point clouds, describing camera orientations etc. But I kind of agree, a standard 4x4 rotation matrix would most likely be just as useful. I use them because it’s how Colmap represents camera extrinsics. They might use them just because serializing q{xyzw} is more elegant than dumping a matrix to text.
I'll take the same four walls over the same eight walls plus two hours of traffic per day.

I like SQLite (use it for android apps), but there’s no reason to use it for apps over a network. SQLite is meant to be embedded (also works great with desktop apps and local-only web apps).

In fact, I’d argue there’s no networked use case in which SQLite is cheaper, easier to deploy, maintain or run than Postgres.

All that being said, absurdsql is great. There should be some optimizations in mirroring network state to IndexedDB that could be queried via SQl(ite).

The SQLite documentation literally says use Postgres and not it for networked use cases (unless you use WAL or rollback, in which case why not just use Postgres?)

https://www.sqlite.org/useovernet.html

As an aside, I think we need a new storage primitive. In the 2000s desktop apps were rampant and SQLite was more or less the standard.

We then moved over to networked apps where RDBMS had its day. There was a moment where nosql was booming for the scaling but it turned out people like relations.

We need an open source, distributed and relational store that’s easy to maintain build this decade.
It doesn’t matter if anger is at play. At the end of the day, if you want something changed, you should act in the best way to get it
I can appreciate 1-2 days a week in the office. There are certainly some benefits to be had there. But if I consistently come into the office 2 days a week, I know for certain that my company is going to push for 3 days, then 4 etc... And I'd much rather be fully remote than have to come in even 3 days a week. That being said, I tend to work a lot more hours when working remotely.
And wifi is really common too!
I've been working for somewhat large company for years, and I'm highly interested in working someone else's startup these days.

But one thing I worry about is, assuming most companies don't live longer than a year or two, staying in the fields of early staged companies would essentially be the synonym to hopping around there, to me feels like to result in horrible resume.

How do you guys deal with this?
I would almost go back to an office, if the company would stop being so lazy and incompetent. Every company is insanely disorganized and inefficient.

You can never find other teams, projects, code, docs, company policies, vendor agreements, onboarding guides, meeting notes. "Agile" became an excuse to not give a shit what anyone did and let everything devolve into the lowest common denominator: tribal silos. Business units are fiefdoms.

Getting access to anything is a scavenger hunt and still takes a week after opening a ticket. There is no useful self-service automation. Desktop support for developers is pathetic while it's top-notch for paper pushers. Nobody has a baseline of training even though we all really need to know certain processes to do our jobs correctly.

Security is a complete joke. They harp on us for falling a phishing test when they have terrible UX to identify real emails, like that's the single thing other than rotating passwords that makes the company secure. Meanwhile the intranet doesn't have an SSL cert.

We can't get 10 grand for some critical SaaS we need for our jobs, but they'll plunk down that much per year on junk food we don't need. But also please work overtime for free because you're salaried and it's expected.

Get your shit together, companies. Do that and maybe I'll drag my ass all the way to your annoying open floor plan I-forgot-my-badge-can-someone-buzz-me-in germ-spreading hot-desking offices and ignore the lies you tell about this being for productivity.
I'm not leaving at this present moment but I have in the past and the reasons are

- (significantly) more money and excitement contracting

- I am comfortable in my own skin, have good skills and ethos to work for myself and I do not fear of landing flat on my face.

- in/out of contract jobs, means I don't get exhausted on their politics

- politics, red tape, sinking in moving sand,...

- did I mention politics?
If your hardware sucks, try Akula instead of geth/erigon. It can supposedly sync on spinning rust with low IOPS.

Unless you're running a full archive node, you don't need 2tb. My geth dir is under 700gb. Do a snap sync then turn on archive mode if you only need data moving forward from some point in time.

Because it's much easier to squeeze in-person employees harder.

I'm being facetious, but I don't think it's entirely a bad thing. I'm not sure if you've even worked in a fast-paced environment where everyone is absolutely buzzing, but it's quite exciting and I'm not convinced there's a remote equivalent.
Hot desks are about the dumbest thing there is. Then why go to the office at all? So you can sit next to random people on an uncomfortable table/chair for hours?
> Mailgun still didn’t automatically rotate DKIM keys last time I looked, otherwise I’d rate them much higher.

Not only do they not automatically rotate them, there's no functionality to manually rotate them either. The only thing you can do is delete the configuration for your domain entirely and recreate it, which of course nukes your Event log. Hopefully they are working to address this...
Yup, it has been a great wake-up call for many, in that regard.
Does anyone else get major 1929 vibes when they read posts like this?

Tell me how much are you getting paid to write this? But then, how are your hands moving?

It reminds me of a guy who argued, as a beginner, I could never do security by myself. He pointed out the flaws, I fixed them. Eventually he said I just needed to hire a professional to do these things for me. His friend joked, you mean like you are doing right now? But this was wrong and that was wrong and this and that! His friend: But that is all fixed now isn't it?

An even better story: A guy I knew for a few weeks said he was going swimming. If I could answer his phone for a few hours and write down the messages. His phone rang the whole time! It was some kind of prank. People wanting to buy things, people wanting to sell things, people who owed him money, people he owed money to... It just kept ringing. He planned for it! He squeezed a ton of work into those 3 hours. He was very happy when he returned. A note book full of stuff. He only expected me to answer a few calls but I was to damn curious what the next call was about.

> I suspect that people using popular browsers would never even notice that varying the Accept-Encoding header had no effect, and that is why the CDNs believe that this is OK.

I feel like this is a trend for pretty much everything on the internet these days, the 1% of anything doesn't matter to any service, not using google chrome? "please use a supported browser - aka google chrome", using a VPN? CDN level block or "here's 1000 captchas because Google hates you", You want en-gb? not from that IP enjoy your crash course in the native language, You aren't in the USA? no content for you.

Excluding the 1% might make business sense as an optimisation abstractly, but when that 1% could affect different people each day it can affect everyone eventually and you will actually piss off all users.
I (and I suspect most others) must have SMS for two-factor auth. There are many sites that require it, or that send texts as their only login mechanism. I personally use my phone pretty often. Making doctors appointments, coordinating with friends while on trips, or calling just to talk.

I recognize that Signals, WhatsApp, etc. are what most people want, but I personally want to unplug from social media, so not having those apps is fine for me.
Wikipedia feels like a weird cross of social media, Ted Nelson's Xanadu and good publicity. Opinions will show up; if the opinion show up in another media source, it can be repeated as fact.

Moreover, Wikipedia has its own social grouping dynamics and it's own equivalents of gamification; it just seems 'serious' as the outcome is something that masquerades as factual. (This is an admittedly cruel take on Wikipedia, but there are plenty of comments about the inaccuracy of many Wiki articles that back my opinion)

A good Reddit opinion-based conversation is often useful, much like a good Wikipedia article can be. "How does the soup taste at Pho Daddy" is better answered by a social media post with a dynamic trust list than a list of ingredients.

(We don't really have the trust list, but we do have a list of previous posts that can use on Reddit to see if the person seems similar enough to us)
