That's not true. Frankly, it's clear you simply don't know what you're talking about.

They've built an entire monetization engine around it, made a TON of improvements around how media works, added several new formats, built a ton of anti-spam detection/eradication/moderation that works at scale and makes the product actually usable, launched in so many countries with language/accessibility support, and so much more that Instagram couldn't have done as a standalone company.

When Facebook bought Instagram, it was just a speck - it wasn't even a business. It's not even close to the juggernaut it is today.

There's a ton of stuff that goes into scaling products like this. If you want to have a rational conversation about this you have to go deeper than using all caps CLONE. You don't go from 27M to >2B users and from $0 to >$25B in revenue just...randomly.
Once you realize that Mikrotik is NOT a small business router company but started as a WISP supply company for Eastern Europe it becomes much more clear.

They've greatly enhanced the web interface in recent updates, but you still will probably need to find a recipe for what you want to do, but it can do it.

I mean this literally how contractors work. Unless they were taking your IP and using it for another company I don’t see the issue.
We had an issue with a candidate who was attempting to use our access to processing networks to facilitate financial crime. It was a coordinated state actor tactic.

Happy to share more info with founders over email or IM; I don’t want to publicly draw the ire of those who attempted this.
Reducing the information content of a message, effectively concealing the information that you already plan to send after “Hi”, isn’t being polite to people with this personality, it’s frustrating.
+1 Don't think this working for a startup offers much advantage for an engineer if they later decide to work on their own.

If you already know programming, there isn't a lot of value add that couple years of startup experience offers in terms of your programming skills.

The skills that you don't have -- Sales, marketing, hiring -- you will still not have. Working for a startup, as say, a frontend engineer for couple years does not help you get better at Sales. You'll need to hire for them or rely on co-founders anyway. The "wearing multiple hats" trope is extremely over hyped in my experience.
Upload - yes. App can upload while in background. However, there is a growing delay for every subsequent upload until the user opens the app again.

Camera - no:

> Camera usage is prohibited while in the background. If you attempt to start running a camera while in the background, the capture session sends an AVCaptureSessionWasInterruptedNotification with this interruption reason. If you don't explicitly call the stopRunning method, your startRunning request is preserved, and when your app comes back to foreground, you receive AVCaptureSessionInterruptionEndedNotification and your session starts running.

Microphone - I think it can only continue recording while in background, but not start?
I'm totally willing to learn the magic of advanced merging, but most "tell me more about Git" talks/articles rather want to tell me more about its general internal structure, which I find very far removed from actually using it.

So what's the best resource for learning more about using Git?
Offtopic:

I'm saddened to see YAML get a bad rap for effectively being shoehorned to fit a task that it's just bad at.

In my experience, YAML is a great format for legibly declaring a dict/array structure, with added benefits over JSON like anchors/references (effectively pointers, which thus allow it to describe a graph), comments, and overloads (great for defaults!).

But YAML has no facilities for conditionals, loops, or any logic. So these get tacked-on, ad-hoc, by systems that need them, and that pulls YAML towards Greenspun's Tenth Rule ("Any sufficiently complicated [system] contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp")

I'm glad better languages like Dhall exist for the problem-space that YAML is just not designed for.
Hi, I appreciate the sentiment and agree that some small portion of our customers use the product for monitoring or tracking, but it is a minority.

We have been one of the few family focused location apps where parents and kids are treated as peers, anyone can pause location, and we have a "bubbles" feature where you can obfuscate your location to a 20 mile radius bubble.

When used properly, we empower parents to give their kids more freedom, not less.

And, our safety features, such as automatic crash detection, have literally saved thousands of lives. That is not hyperbolic. We run on over 10% of all iPhones in the US and have had a very positive impact on a large number of lives.
I had this happen to me at a former large employer. I insisted on removing the agency from our list of approved agencies and was told that if we did that to every agency that did that sort of fraud then we’d have no agencies in our budget range.

A good journalist knows how to verify sources and check before writing.

It seems like good interview questions (for all candidates) could be "how should we stop interview and employment fraud, what are your ideas?" You want candidates who are clever at analyzing a new problem, and it puts the issue on the table in a cooperative way.

Meanwhile Bay Area's been told not to drive three (3) times this year with the top suggestion:

The best way to improve air quality on a daily basis is to drive less.

Fortunately our company gives us the option to reject a candidate if we feel they are cheating and can provide an explanation. Once had a candidate solve a problem extremely quickly but they could not explain how they solved it all. I then made a small modification to the problem which wouldn't have changed the solution much and they were completely lost.
So "non magic" means to write everything then? Because the example you showed you have to understand a language feature, attributes. Then see the source code, which is open, and how it's being used.

So, are Rust macros, or C macros, C++ templating magic or it's just means "I don't want to know how this works therefore it's magic"?
Because they can be. Who's going to stop them?

This question further reinforces my belief that most people really haven't internalized the motives and means of modern capitalism.

You can answer many questions like this by referring to a crude old southern homily:

I think what is potentially more interesting is hashing or running OCR against photos slowly over time. Even scanning photo metadata and collecting the geolocation of all of them seems like a relatively small amount of data (the type that wouldn't trash your data plan) for significant value. If you hash a photo and it gets uploaded somewhere you can potentially tie a private account to a public one.

With geolocation you could potentially find people who have taken a picture on or near a military base. You could collect people within commuting distance. Photos of receipts or legal documents could inform you of financial statuses. With facial recognition you could create a social graph.

You can get a lot of information just by processing the photos without them ever leaving your device.

Timestamps and device info (including devices of friends who send you photos), could potentially be weaponized against a person a well.
Camera, absolutely not.

Microphone, can continue recording in background, but only if user explicitly started it (i.e. think a recording app, e.g. dictation tool ... user presses the big red record button to start). The app also needs UIBackgroundModes permission.

I am sorry, but if you need someone else to provide you with a list like that, you should NOT be doing this. It is the wrong approach on so many levels.
Documentation has been a bit of a challenge in my experience. There are some high-level docs at https://trac.webkit.org/wiki though many are 10-15 years old at this point. My approach has been to look at the commit history for the file to see if the changesets shed any light, and sometimes go to the attached bugzilla link to see if there was any discussion about the change there. Then attach a debugger and step through to try to uncover how the classes relate to one another.
I wish people would stop calling new businesses "startups". It's just a new business.
Maybe it's not a real contractor. I had one job where I was a "contractor", I had set hours, got paid hourly, received a w2. It seemed like just an excuse to be cheap and not provide benefits.
Selling drugs is already a crime, no need for eBay or Facebook to implement their own bespoke judicial system. Something being illegal doesn't mean people won't do it.
Choosing to give up control of your startup to investors is also a business decision.

> that isn't a law, movie ratings are a voluntary system designed to help parents make smarter choices about what they will allow their kids to see.

As I covered, most (all?) "voluntary" mass media industry regulation schemes have been much more of an outcome of "sort your shit out to our satisfaction or we'll regulate you into the Earth's core" grumbling from government, than actually voluntary.

Part of the trouble here is there's just nothing comparable to the Internet. The default before was "parents will have to work to enable their kids to access questionable material", not "parents will have to work (really, really hard) to keep their kids from accessing questionable material, including possibly by accident, and maybe stuff pushed on them by some god-awful 'algorithm' trying to radicalize them or push them into some other harmful rabbit-hole because it helps with 'engagement' or some other dumb-assed metric".

Again, the closest thing I can think of is cable, and that had a much more limited set of content and kept the adult stuff mostly opt-in (so, again, active effort required to enable it), plus cable TV was never 1% as valuable for getting by in modern society as Internet access is—the easy answer of "just don't pay for cable" doesn't apply to the Internet, and hasn't for more than a decade.

However, even with media that are far easier to keep out of the home, government pushes for regulation, and effective imposition of such regulation—de jure or, in fear of what de jure might look like, de facto—has been the norm. Much of this absolutely applied to what adults could access (see, again, the Hays or CCA regulatory regimes). As for "scanning their face every time they access a website"—in earlier situations in which a kid might access some piece of media a parent hadn't deliberately invited into their home, and in which some business was involved, everyone did get a face-scan, by the flesh-and-blood clerk, and since 1990 or so those situations almost certainly also involve being recorded on multiple CCTV cameras (and these days, having all that uploaded to god-knows-where and maybe even having face recognition applied to it—ugh, the Internet was such a bad idea)

Again, part of the trouble with these analogies is there's nothing comparable to the Internet. How do you have a clerk judge whether a person's face looks old enough, at "web scale" and before your web server sends a 200 response? You can't, really, but that doesn't mean something of that sort isn't typical practically everywhere but the Internet. The closest thing you can realistically do is automate that process, instead, to bring it back into something resembling the past norms.

This is, I repeat, not necessarily a defense of this kind of legislation as a good idea–I just don't think it actually is a deviation from what was the overwhelming norm for how society operated in most of the 20th century. The Internet free-for-all model is what's the odd-man-out.
I remember migrating some codebase from CVS to SVN ... and this was sometime after CVS was adopted instead of "at the end of the day, every dev will copy his change into a floppy disk and give it to the Tech Lead for merging".

This was during the 90s in a software development company in Mexico. Good times!
Unfortunately most of the comments are about site reliability.

This used to be an absolutely fantastic forum. I was a young comp sci graduate who somehow finished school without taking any programming language theory courses. I used to read this every single day. At one point I had every book ever written on ML (ocaml, sml, etc) and most written about various lisps. To this day I love how TAPL was written (Types and Programming Languages by Pierce). I loved the expansive nature of Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming by Van Roy. Some books were discussed so often that they were simply referred to by their abbreviations.

There were serious academics, PHD students, industry folks and newbies like myself who could not even understand most abstracts, much less the full papers.

I once asked if a new forum could be created for novices like myself so I could ask my dumb little questions. I was instead encouraged to ask my questions in the main forum :)

For a short while there was a related user group in NYC where people would discuss type theory at random diners.
`strace` has a bunch of features that I'd like to learn thoroughly someday, but I get weekly if not daily value from a few basic invocations:

`run_my_build.whatever` -> hangs, damn.

`strace run_my_build.whatever` -> awesome i can see all the system calls so i know what `.so`s it's pulling in, and what config files it's trying to read, and if it's hanging on a network socket or whatever. This is usually where `strace` just immediately solves my problem.

If you've got like a background daemon that's misbehaving you can do `strace -p <PID>` and it will attach and start printing out the syscalls, this can also be really useful.

`strace` (on all my systems at least) logs to `STDERR` by default, so sometimes you want some combination of like `2>/tmp/log.strace.blah` or to interleave the `STDOOUT` of the process so it's just the usual shell stuff `strace whatever 2>&1 | rg -C ...`.

My use of the tool is very basic, but that's part of what makes it such a great tool, a few simple invocations will just save your bacon. This is especially true on a new team/company or whatever where you run the thing from the Wiki and it doesn't build or start or...
Not as bad as the title implies.

You hear these stories so much but what I don't get is how these people get past the HireRight checks, do the companies this happens to just not use HireRight?
True, but it costs you less if you just do it from minute 1 instead of letting them go through the process.
Awesome news. I'll get one with my yearly influenza vaccine and get on with my life.
> I don't think that specific passage was in reference to KiwiFarm's paid plan.

I didn't say it was? I don't see why the fact that cf is paying for their ddos protection instead of kf paying for it themselves is really relevant to the enablement of harm.

Honestly that makes it even worse: in the other situation, cf is taking money from a bad actor and funneling it towards a good one (both allegedly). Here cf is paying expenses (probably in the marketing line of their expense sheet) to keep kf accessible, including storing, replicating, and distributing their content, doxes and all.

> This is the specific contradiction I'm trying to avoid.

I think this is a contradiction of your own making? The problem people have isn't that the targets of kf are being "silenced" in some Renaissance ideal sort of way. It's that they are put in a position of fearing for their own lives and the lives of the people around them. There's no contradiction here unless you think the people who want the site to stop are secret free speech absolutists.

Anyways, while we're talking about perfect worlds where police actually do anything about stuff like this and no one has to resort, in my perfect world the internet doesn't break because cf does, and cf isn't even in a position to arbitrate speech. But we can't always get what we want.

Ask HN: What will be the large-scale second-order consequence of AI Art?
The main use case that comes immediately to mind when using tools like Midjourney/DALL-E/Stable Diffusion is graphic design/stock photos, and most of the discussion surrounds this theme of making art more efficient(like that SD Photoshop plugin). However, somehow, these discussions give me the feeling of predicting that the main purpose of an automobile is to deliver milk(the faster horse idea).

For example, Photography, something that was only accessible to a few, became massively accessible when the iPhone came out. The large-scale second order was not simply that we had more photos we could reminisce with(the previous major use case of photos). But rather that we started sharing photos/videos with each other as a form of communication/storytelling. (with platforms like IG/Snapchat/Youtube/Tiktok)

This new generation of art tools fundamentally *expands* the set of people who can express their thoughts/feelings visually from a tiny fraction of the population to the masses. Something that used to take years of training is now achievable with a few weeks of practice. This is INSANE! And it's hard to know how this will actually change the world. (Note: I am by no means saying amateur artist + AI == professional artist, just like how iPhone didn't kill professional photographers.)

Will there be a new medium of storytelling? Will the next generation of Wattpad writers become "comic book artists"? Will we start to communicate through generated art that represents how we feel? What do you think can be the world-changing second-order consequence when everyone can express their thoughts and feelings visually?
That's probably a good recommendation, but it also results in the most annoying and cumbersome UX.
I'm less familiar with EU liability laws. In the US the FDA differentiates an EUA version and the regular FDA approved version. The difference may only be the label, but Pfizer would be foolish to distribute a version with liability attached when they could distribute a version without liability attached.

Are you familiar enough with EU drug liability laws to speak to whether Pfizer has any liability?

I hate having these autistic fine detail discussions in this context because people assume I'm anti-vax. I will state here again I believe the vaccines are safe enough and effective enough to justify use.
>Meh, it's not gonna be the end of the world. Prices for consumers will increase (maybe around 3x),

This is not a case of "government can cap the bills" or "government can provide subsidies to help pay for higher bills" or, even, "government can ration electricity". Setting aside the inflationary and other side effects of doing so, *SUBSIDIES AND RATIONING DON'T MATTER IF THERE IS NO SUPPLY*.
I don't think healthy options were as available as they were where I was traveling to. You also need to be really diligent in the US.
I personally agree which is why I also join every interview with my camera on. Objectively though you have to consider that the job market is a MARKET, and if the seller (candidate) considers they can do just fine without the camera (or anything else really) then you have to accept that fact and move on to another candidate if you can or just go forward with them without camera. Nobody owes anything to anyone here.
I wonder if charges can be configured to wait for a given time to begin charging. That way you could plug in your car whenever you want, but still get the benefit of waiting.
