Of course they do, but none of that matters to chat app makers because...

1. Forcing an in-app browser means users are less likely to leave the chat app, leading to increased metrics

2. You can track everything users do in the in-app browser, and the more data you have, the better you can make the experience for users! (Obviously it's not actually better, but this is the rationale you'll find internally)

Indeed. I read the book in hopes of getting a good intro to TDD after only picking it up by osmosis (which, as proven by the discussions here, is not a good way to learn TDD) and it definitely goes against the maximalist interpretation as described in TFA. While there are examples showing the minimal code-approach he is very explicit about the fact that you don't have to write your code that way.

One thing I liked specifically was his emphasis on the idea that you can use TDD to adjust the size of your steps to match the complexity of the code. Very complex? Small steps with many tests, maybe using the minimal code-approach to get things going. Simple/trivial? A single test and the solution immediately with no awkward step in between.
I mostly found the book enlightening because it was a calm, rational voice amidst the constant stream of the-world-is-ending-by-fire/water/drought/heat/cold news that my tech bubble sends my way.

I didn't find anything in the book about liberal hoaxes. Rather I found the author to be diligently addressing a topic they find to be quite serious. Their argument is not against climate change (they very much acknowledge we have to address it), but against what they view to be ineffective (i.e. very costly, not gonna do much to affect temperature rise) policies.

A good portion of the book is dedicated to the author's ideas for more effective ways to deal with climate change in the long run, like pumping a lot more money into R&D, looking into nuclear more, helping developing nations shed climate-aggravating technologies faster, drafting local "adapt to the climate" policies, etc. The author is in favor of a carbon tax. Another idea explored is how making the right growth-promoting improvements in developing countries during the next 20 years could enable them to deal with climate change better over the subsequent 50 years (vs short-term growth-slowing policies that might look great during elections, but don't do much to move the needle by 2100).

I read the article you linked and found it hard to interpret it as anything other than a hit piece with an almost hysterical focus on painting the book and its author in the most negative light possible. It was quite a contrast from the book where the author makes their criticisms in the vein of "I think we can do better".

The evidence right now is as their network size increases, expands to lower latitudes, covers more than non-rural users, and allows mobile use the download speed increases and the upload speed decreases. "I haven't been given the details of their MAC and PHY" isn't reasoning to jump to conclusions about their MAC and PHY architecture being problematic for the rural use case here because of that.

Yes they must obey the laws of physics but this isn't a WISP, concurrent transmissions can't just stomp on each other and find out fast enough to hide it they've had to be broken out per client in the cell from day one. Other than mentioning the MAC layer exists is there a particular concern you have about it scaling? The satellites only have 2 paths to forward things and only a small patch of cells to do it for. Scaling has been brought by putting up orders of magnitude more satellites to provide coverage at more than the dense northern coverage from the orbits, it has not been by putting a ton more clients through the satellites themselves.

Is RF and framing something Starlink has had to design for? Absolutely, they do after all need these things. That doesn't mean it makes sense to jump to it as the source of any perceived issues, particularly on the basis it's something unknown.

> The right to face one's accuser and cross-examine

Sorry, you don't have the "right" to attend a conference -- and as long as it's not based on things that are prohibited (sex, race etc) -- a conference can exclude you for any reason, or no reason at all.

Honestly, I only heard about this a while back because Hadnagy made a fuss about it. DefCon, on the other hand, hasn't said too much.

If the root of this was a criminal action, then you'd be right about facing accusers and cross examination. But this isn't that. You don't have constitutional rights to attend a conference.
That's what finally got me to come to terms with my extreme night owl shift. When I get up earlier than 9am (using light therapy etc), I get anxiety/panic attacks and have a hard time sleeping more than 6 hours.

They say in the post to use environment variables when deploying. I think they’re talking about server-side JS, not JS running in an end-user’s browser.
My thoughts are to get rid of the "network" effect.

IE have a DNS where anyone can register whatever they like. That way you can send a message direct to your friend's phone with no middleman.

My invariably naïve thoughts on the SuperSimpleSecretsServer:

- Alice generates 2 publicPrivate key pairs. 1 for the SSSS and 2 for their own use.

- Alice contacts SSSS with PublicKey1.

- SSSS responds with randomstring.

- Alice privatekey1 encrypts the random string and privateKey2 encrypts her IPv6 address and sends both to SSSS.

- SSSS authenticates and stores the encrypted-IPv6-blob against that publickey.

Bob does same.

Alice and Bob exchange (PublicKey1 and PublicKey2) however they do. Alice and Bob can now query SSSS for IPv6 of the respective key(aka person they want to talk to) whenever they want.

But I honestly don't know much about crypto, security, scaling, routing, replication, who'd run it etc etc etc. I just plain don't know much....
Rates were flat in a sense of temporal continuity - they stayed around a level that is normal some of the time.

They were very far down in a sense of seasonality. Teen suicide rates are -- normally -- much higher during the school year than they are during the summer.

https://nitter.net/tylerblack32/status/1470785708394754052#m

> The first school year of the pandemic (with full lockdowns) also represents the FIRST TIME IN 21 YEARS that March-June (school months) had the same low suicide rate as July (non school month). Typically, school months associated with 36-55% increase [in suicide] in HS kids.

So about a 30% decrease in suicide rate from shutting down school. I would argue that a 30% decrease qualifies as "dramatic".

Things really can be good and bad. Cars I think by most accounts are good (do you disagree?), but they do lead to the deaths of a million+ every year, that is bad.

Junk foods like ice cream, pizza, soda etc. I think can be good but they also lead to the deaths of millions a year (albeit more indirectly). The world just isn't black and white. It is complex and there is nuance.
I’m more of GP’s mindset, but I’ve often wondered how many people would become lost the way you describe if my preference was the default. I have the benefit of knowing distinctly when I’m navigating from app to web, but I can relate to being disoriented navigating between different types of views within a given app.

There’s the tiny “back button” in iOS that takes you back to an app which triggered an app context switch, but it’s barely noticeable and barely reachable on most current iPhones. I swipe between apps even when I do notice that. But I’m not sure how widely it’s even known you can swipe between apps.

(For anyone reading who doesn’t know, if you have an iPhone without a home button, you can swipe left/right on the space right at the bottom of your screen, where you normally would swipe up, and it’s like the cmd/alt+tab default. You can also do this on the URL bar in Safari to switch tabs, if you stick with the default bottom URL bar.)
I also undertook a similar experiment, except I would report ads as abusive. My account was eventually banned for using a fake name, even though my name wasn't fake. I could never get through to a real human. To this day, my account is under review. I lost a few friends who I could only contact via FB.
I think TDD is just busywork in another form. Managers seem to like to keep people busy, often just to watch them work and feel power or something from it. They might have a really good dev on the team who can smash everything in front of them super quickly and they can't keep them busy enough to get their power trip on, so they add a boat anchor and tell the dev to drag that around while they work. Instant slowdown in productivity, dev takes 3X as long, manager is loving it. I think that's also why you find this junk in megacorps where there is little actual work and everyone is politicking all day. Lotta power trippers in those companies.

I hope it gets locked down further just like how Apple introduced App Tracking Transparency, to further reduce and make it harder for data collection like this so that it is not open to abuse, not just this but in all of iOS in general.

Whether if it is collecting biometric data, voice prints, reading the clipboard, collecting information around local network devices and now abusing the in-app browser to further collect user data, the same social networks will try anything to abuse the iOS system to collect as much data as they can.

Given that Facebook did the exact same invasive actions and was fined in the billions, there is enough evidence of these invasive data collection practices that TikTok has done over the years to be worthy of a multi-billion dollar fine.

There is no exceptions, excuses or any room for double standards.

The site lists a variety of fabrics and such with links for the USA. Any idea where to get these sorts of materials in Australia? There just don’t seem to be proper local equivalents of Ripstop by the Roll or Quest Outfitters, and those that do ship overseas are rather expensive with high lead time (e.g. Ripstop by the Roll does, but even the smallest item costs USD18.24 to get it in 4–8 weeks, or 2–4× that to get it in within 1–2 weeks—actually, 6–7× if you live in a rural area like I do, FedEx is absurdly expensive that way, adding literally a hundred AUD, whereas the cheaper USPS option adds no more).

My ideal would be a physical store somewhere in Melbourne so I could see and feel the fabrics before buying (high shipping costs makes getting samples an expensive business!), but I doubt there are any physical stores for this kind of thing. I would like to make a bag to fill the large gap behind/under the seat on my recumbent tricycle. I tried going into a Spotlight a while back and asking about waterproof fabrics, but they didn’t have anything along those lines at all.
Funnily enough, you also increase the app opening rate - since user sessions for that app itself are persisted!

Ask HN: Question regarding touching a stranger's phone
The question is: what is the solution to not having to touch a stranger's phone during certain situations? Is it implementing existing technology, or is it making something new?

1. This week, I ordered some alcohol off of doordash. The person handed me their phone and asked me to type my name and sign.

2. I was at pharmacy and they wanted updated information, so I handed them my phone and they typed it in.

There are 2 problems with this:

First of all, everyone uses their phone on the toilet and nobody cleans their phone as they should.

Second is that the phone is very personal and it is rather odd to hand that to a stranger.

How do you feel about sharing phones and everything associated with it? And why are there no articles about phone hygiene? Do you never hand your phone over or vice versa? Is this a problem or a non problem?
I generally expect to see decent tests along with code in the same PR. I don't care whether the tests were written before or after the code.

Good comment. I was going to point to the Robert Harris book too and the clear parallels with fake news.

I'd add the current popular blaming of "the elites" by populist politicians has uncomfortable echos too.

I also like this piece in the linked article:

On one side were the Dreyfusards who defended reason and believed that France’s identity was defined by the abstract principles of equality and liberty. On the other side were the anti-Dreyfusards who deified unreason, convinced that France’s identity was rooted in la terre et les morts—the soil and the generations of dead buried in it.

This.

It's a game with exactly one rule: whoever puts a number out first loses.

There've been several times in my career -- especially when starting out -- where I just plain underestimated what they were willing to pay me. Once I just bit my tongue and stopped myself from saying "But of course, I wouldn't expect you to pay me THAT much..." And the next thing they said was "We could pay you that."

My first job out of college, they asked me "What's the least amount of money you'd work for." And when I stressed it was a very low number, that it was the barest minimum that I could ever consider -- that was what they offered me.

Don't learn this the hard way. They'll act all conversational and wait for you to say something. (If the silence gets awkward, you're free to say something like "How much are you offering for this position?") It wouldn't hurt to rehearse a few lines to turn the question back to them, so you're ready when this comes up.

Not making a wasm interpreter but using it as the output of $whatever_language you choose abstract interpreter — written in $whatever_ language if you want the “free” jit compiler.

It doesn’t need fancy stuff like arrays or objects since it just operates on the sandboxed wasm memory. Probably need some runtime system to deal with memory management &etc but that’s just some extra code tacked onto the module.

If one wanted to get all fancy it would be:

code -> ast -> ir -> optimizer -> partial eval -> wasm

Or just a simple:

code -> ast -> tree walker -> wasm

There’s some pretty good algorithms for the first case where you get pretty close to optimal code without having to leave SSA form I’ve been reading about recently. In fact, I totally forgot about the Futamura transformations until I was reading TFA and was wondering why it wouldn’t work.

—edit—

I guess the first case is just a traditional compiler and it would probably not benefit from partial evaluation because there’s also an efficient algorithm that’s part of the mentioned reading to transform SSA -> AST which could be adapted to wasm output quite easily…which is on my laptop and I’m on my phone so…
Watch out for the difference between the wave amplitude and the power.

Power is proportional to the square of the amplitude. I don't know if that's what you're doing here, but it's a familiar pitfall.
In fact, I’d say there can be no better reason.

The easiest way is to be in an industry. When you understand a set of products and the commercial drivers - the state of the art, you can start to try and identify inefficiencies and gaps. You can see where big companies are skirting around problems they don't consider profitable enough to be worth tackling. Obviously you can't work in and deeply know every industry, so maybe the answer is to go to trade shows and contemplate what products and services people are offering and try to sniff out opportunities or ideas to investigate. It'll help that you'll have SMEs on hand at such venues.
