Has anyone figured out if this will literally impact the entire internet, or will it only impact people in the US or just people hosting servers in California? If hosting in California is it enough to not utilize a hosting providers presence in California, or must everyone migrate to providers that do not have a presence in California?
Nothing about that contradicts my statement. Cloudflare's business has been doing great ever since 2017.
Would GOMS [0] be a useful framework for thinking about cognitive load in programming? GOMS is a framework for analyzing user workload in system interaction. Bad or gnarly code creates a much more complex interface for the programmer. A quick look did not surface a reference here, but I'd look further at work by David Kieras [1].

Hah just as much fun as winning. Losing at D&D can involve all sorts of weird and creative things happening depending on your Dungeon Master. Often times you might not just die in a conflict.

Recently my character found a cursed necklace that guards against all but the strongest attacks and my bard is very excited and wearing it, feeling invincible. Little does he know, there’s a very powerful evil being who can hear all his thoughts, knows where he is at all times, and can compel him to do his bidding.

I’m pretty excited to see how the story develops, even if it eventually ends in my character’s horrible demise.

Meta using the same playbook with their glasses and VR headsets and portal. Not owning the railways (the device) is a strategic risk and makes you always at the mercy of the device owners (eg.

Chloe Sagal seems to have had mental health issues - if not Kiwifarms then it would have been something else that trigged her suicide.

It really baffles me when people are targeted by trolls - trolls have been around since the days of Fidonet and BBS - without strict moderation it is a wild west.

Also the solution seems kind of obvious to me - just disconnect yourself - delete social media , curate your feeds and stop posting about your real life on twitter , your job or where you live and find another avenue not twitter to engage with.

4chan, kiwifarms - another site will just pop up to cater for trolls.

You will bypass the permission auth dialog, which is your last official chance to see what the code you're about to execute has access to.

The extension developer could add a malicious permission + new code to exploit it and it would look the same as using developer mode to add a Hello World extension
"Ukraine to ensure no political radicalism in monitored territories"? OK, what's a "monitored territory"? Donbas? All of Ukraine? (Russia says it wants to de-nazify all of Ukraine, not just Donbas.)

What do you do when Russia says that every non-separatist politician in Donbas is a political radical?

You say Ukraine will be flooded with NATO weapons. Probably true... this year. The flood will dry up, though. What happens 20 years from now, when Russia's weapons have improved, and Ukraine's are 20-year-old NATO weapons? And then Russia says "Hey, you haven't kept line 7! Get rid of all these politicians!" and then invades when Ukraine refuses?

Don't give them that line. They will exploit it sooner or later.
That's certainly an interesting way to organize things, though I dislike the reliance on several 'manager/coordinator' classes. (though part of this is my superstition that class names shouldn't end in -er or -or)

The main mechanism seems to be for 'systems' being able to iterate over tuples of 'components' of a specific type for all 'entities'. I can't help but wonder if there isn't a more elegant way of doing this than trying to keep the set of entities for each system up to date. Though I suppose it depends on what you want to optimize.
> It's like poop in ice cream: if you have ten tons of ice cream and an ounce of poop, if you mix them together, you've just created ten tons of poop.

In that case your argument fails, because there are regulations for how much rat feces are permitted in processed food, and just FYI, it's NOT zero.
1/3 of Microsoft's revenues and operating income come from their cloud business, which has done much better than Google's.
Google also makes the most popular mobile OS in the world, the most popular web browser in the world, runs a major cloud provider, runs an app store, and provides services in hundreds of countries which requires a large amount of employees to do all the legal, compliance, localization, and support work.
To complement "quiet quitting", a new phrase I learned is "acting your wage".

It means, you put in as much as work as you're getting paid to do, as much as what you think your labor is worth - no more.

Work less if you can manage it, though some people are afflicted by a sense of "fairness". Most companies do not care at all about fairness - in fact, they're designed to exploit you as much as you let them.
So, worse than not knowing, it's plain lies?

> Is energy really scarce? Currently the entire world consumes about 165.000 TWh (Tera Watt per hour) which is a lot, but it just a tiny fraction of the energy we receive daily from the sun, which is about 174000 * 0.7 * 3600 TWh = 430.000.000 TWh. On top of this there is all the energy stored inside our planet and atmosphere, which has been subjected for billions of years to the sun’s energy transfer.

By this logic energy has never been scarce. Energy is one the most important scarce resources. Much of the world is currently undergoing an energy crisis.

> Is food really scarce? No, as it can be obtained by a mix of energy and chemical elements.

We have the sun, and there is soil, ergo food is not scarce.

> Are chemical elements really scarce? Let’s pick gold, an element which is notoriously considered rare. The total gold mined in all human history is 200.000 metric tons. But if we look at the abundance of elements on earth, even though the mass fraction of gold is just 0.16 part per million, knowing earth’s mass we can estimate the total gold on earth to be about kg * * 0.16 = metric tons. If we only consider earth’s crust, that’s about 100 times less, which is still a huge number.

Minerals that require more energy to retrieve than value they provide.

You state

> Now I’m going to state something which may either hit you as a profound insight or as an obviousness. Basic resources are not scarce per se, what’s limited is the ability to transform them and make them usable. The fact that we need a human to perform the job is what creates scarcity.

It's a really poorly reasoned thesis and your arrogance to call it a profound insight is just bad. If you have one human and you have a water pump that requires two humans' labor to retrieve one human's water, it is nonsense to say you have a labor shortage. You have a water shortage.That one resource can be used to acquire another does not meant there's only one resource on the board. Everything you've said about labor could be restated as useable energy.

Energy, food, materials, labor, land, time. It's all scarce.

Show HN: Tuido, a Terminal Todo List
This is my personal todo app, which I made a while back after the original https://xit.jotaen.net/ post. tuido is written in go, with the bubbletea tui framework.

My daily workflow involves creating YYYY-MM-DD.md and taking notes, many of which are effectively low-level todos that fall below the threshold for more public or involved issue trackers. Problem was that these half-hazard todos weren't tracked at all.

After seeing the [x]it spec, it seemed clear that a little tooling could fix this. I've been reasonably happy with it.
No, not unless you can pass a ReadOnlySpan into every API that expects a String. The change you referenced let's folks work around the fact that String is UTF16. It doesn't transparently handle ASCII with one byte like other languages.

That actually doesn’t answer my question (though the actual addressee answered it already quite satisfactorily). First, there is no such thing as CSR in context of ssh certificates: ssh certificates are not x.509 certificates (known for their use in TLS). Second, even assuming that they were, a client creates a CSR with their key, and then what? Where is the root of trust? Who processes these CSRs? How is it deciding which CSRs to accept, and which to reject? That’s what I’m actually asking about.

Working at startup sucks. Lower pay, lower stability, overworked, much higher risk for the company to go bust. There is literally no benefit apart from the fact that the bar is somewhat lower and easier to get a job
They wanted to start a manufacturing equipment business like eBay, but for factories, which itself was rather silly given how difficult shipping machines would be. They wanted a preliminary design for a 3 month period, but took 3 months to negotiate the contract, so in the end I worked without any input. I think they were completely clueless about the internet or how difficult such a business would be to run, or even market.
Hey there - your points are accurate! Here are a few more:

- We are open source / MIT

- You can re-use Payload's auth layer in your own apps and with Contentful you can't

- Contentful has rigid RBAC, but Payload features function-based access control down to the field level

- Payload supports field conditional logic, meaning "check a checkbox, see more fields, uncheck it, extra fields disappear". This is huge. And is super hard to build right but it's very important for a good admin experience.

- Payload gives you a local Node API (note: not HTTP / REST / GraphQL.) Contentful does not. With Payload's local API, you can do lots of awesome things within hooks, access control, etc. - and even reuse it in your own endpoints. All of this is impossible with Contentful without going through their HTTP layer

- Payload lets you add your own admin UI views

- Payload has no usage limits

- Payload is code-first, Contentful is "point and click"

Phew. There's a lot more. This all is just top-of-mind word vomit.

Our enterprise offering can either be self-hosted or it can leverage Payload Cloud, once we have it built. Some enterprises opt to manage Payload on their own infrastructure, and just pay us for SLA and premium features like SSO, audit logs, etc. But we do have enterprises in line to use our managed infrastructure as well... so basically, the answer is "both".

Does that help answer your questions?

AI-Generated Art Wins a Fine Arts Competition
I'm sort of coming to the conclusion that for some fraction of users, there is nothing that can be done to get them to think at all before raising a trouble ticket.

I think this is correct, but I also think it's fine. Users shouldn't have to think about your job. They have their own jobs to fill their time. Implement systems that capture and trace errors, that provide an audit trail of user actions prior to an error event, and capture the state of the system when something goes wrong (or when they hit the help button). Don't rely on users to have to learn how to describe an error in a meaningful way in order to make your job easier. That's not their job.
Ask HN: Snap is killing Zenly, firing team, why cant team just make it again?
This might be a dumb question but I am going to ask it anyway. SNAP is killing Zenly and apparently firing the whole team in Paris(1). SNAP acquired Zenly for $250-350m in 2017(2). Zenly seems to be doing pretty well in different markets including Japan. It has 35m active users(3).

Why can't the team just remake it with a new name?

I realize they would have to be self supporting for a little while, but I assume most/all the employees have severance. Would a VC fund this?

For the engineers, if it doesn't work out, they will most likely not have a problem getting a job.

I do not appreciate the structure of the question. Half the front page has not been taken over by this question; moreover, no one is trotting out standard morality (collective good) frameworks, eg an act is good/moral because of its final consequences, who does it, or its intention. Those are the main lines. And then there are many many gambits, to re(mis)use chess terminology.

So: what are you asking, exactly?
You don't even need to be in space if you want to make things heavier. As always the great David Jones (Daedalus) had this idea first in his New Scientist column (16th Feb 1968), and it's included in the compendium "The inventions of Daedalus"
> Another theory: that for some people, hitting a problem is an excuse to stop working entirely and claim to be waiting on another team for support.

I would like for this to be the case, unfortunately I've run into this same thing in many open source projects where it's random users that don't need excuses. I suppose an alternate theory for open source tickets like this is: users who are trying to buff up their github activity regardless of what that activity is.
Nah man as a heavy snap user i can tell you the bots and scammers are not native english speakers. Most of the abuse is targeted at America bc we have money but it's perpetrated out of brazil, bangladesh, india, etc.
You can absolutely do this. You can bake in any type of "review" workflow you can think of, and Payload comes with versions / drafts out of the box as well. It's easy to control who can update the "main" published doc, vs. who can submit drafts.

Would love to see if you gave this a shot, and we'd be happy to help along the way on Discord!
"Want to get to point X? Visit point Y first!"

Just go to point X directly. Too many people shy away from their dreams and delay, because they want to learn first, practice first, and get ready before the real adventure. You will never deplete "more things to learn". You are only depleting your lifetime. And no matter how close working at a startup is to working on a startup, it will never be as close to it as itself.

If you need to save up some money or take care of any other blockers first for your own safety, fine. If there is a great company working on a great problem that you are excited by, great. But if you want to start a new company, then working at a startup is not a practice for starting a new startup. It is a practice for working at a startup and a practice for wasting another day of your life not living the way you really want to live.
Yeah, if I want to climb a ladder I have to play first thing in the morning (with physical exercise as well as warmup games), and make sure I quit at the right time.
Might be a misread, but this feels a little similar to relational vs columnar databases. Relational databases store a thing's data together; columnar store a type of data together.
Maybe with sufficient intelligence we can solve it with geo-engineering, which has its risks but is generally more tractable than the social engineering that conventional solutions rely on.

If you're good at legal research you might find you're unusually good at software (far down the line, once you've invested enough effort to get past the large initial hump)

I always suspected that exploring API documentation and a large codebase to find answers relevant to the task at hand probably had some similarity to researching case law and the facts/evidence of the case at hand to see what works.

Years ago I spent a summer interning at Social Security, where part of the job was applying rules to client cases based on a huge compendium of regulations called the Program Operations Manual System (I guess it basically had SSA's current interpretation of all the statutes, regulations, whatever that went into controlling their work, plus practical howto logistic stuff, you could say).

It really, really reminded me of software work.

>I find it strange that they don't set a negative price for natural gas

They did, that's what the flare is. I expected it[1].

>thus giving domestic producers an incentive to pause production.

They can't "pause" production, it's either go, or halt forever.

If they don't flare off the gas, then pressure builds in their lines, or, worse yet, they have to "shut in" the wells, which means their output is effectively lost for all time. There is a massive, irreplaceable investment in those wells and infrastructure that Russia can't afford to lose.

Natural gas contains water, these wells are in permafrost, which means if the flow stops, that water freezes, cracking the wells or the pipes from them. The last time Russia had a supply disruption, during the Soviet Collapse, this happened. They just finished repairing the damage in 2021.

If it happened again, they wouldn't be able to hire Western experts to repair it again, at any price.

Society needs anonymous dissent. This is basic.
Quite agree, but it also seems like that won't change for many years. This is why the campaign to get service providers like cloudflare to drop hate and terror sites is the only real solution for the short term. Now that cloudflare has declared that they will keep providing services to the hate and terror sites (and the sites that attack them, remember), its an open question what will happen next.

So anyone on your LAN can visit the URL and download the CA private key? Isn’t it only marginally more secure than just keeping the private key on your workstation in the first place, and foregoing the entire rigamarole with certificates? I mean, if you are worried about your something compromising your workstation and stealing your individual private keys, nothing is stopping whoever compromised your workstation from asking your RaspberryPi nicely for CA signing keys and stealing those too.
> There is almost always value in seeing what happens right before the problem, and I almost always have questions I want to ask them about it, and it's so much faster just to do it with screensharing and voice.

This is a pretty good counterpoint to my site! I think that for some, voice is just the preferred medium of communication and that should also be taken into account when possible.

Of course, I'd argue that a little bit of context of what the problem is related to could still be helpful, not to have to waste a bunch of time trying to find some Jira ticket that had some relevant info from like 2 weeks back during the call.

For others, text will probably reign supreme, though I also enjoy things like huddles that Slack introduced, to make informal "meetings" a bit more organic: https://slack.com/help/articles/4402059015315-Use-huddles-in...
what's the plan
>much of this gas would have been used to feed into the pipeline grid and sold on to Europe. Because Russia has sharply cut supply to Europe...

More of this Orwellian spin that Russia 'cut the supply'.

The EU sanctioned Russia and cut off their access to the global banking system and to their foreign currency holdings. They also announced that they'd be stopping buying any Russian gas at all by 2023. So Russia demanded Europe pay for their gas in Roubles. Because why wouldn't they in those circumstances? Most of Europe refused to pay in Roubles so Russia [and again, why wouldn't they?] said "If you don't pay, you can't have the gas"

The fact that this series of events is being constantly spun across multiple western media sources now as an arbitrary 'Russia turned off the taps' --in attempt to divert anyone from asking whether the west [and the EU in particular] has spectacularly shot itself in the foot here-- is disgraceful.

And we have the gall to criticise countries like China for the dishonesty of their press!
