All else being equal, my preference is browsers that focus on internet standards rather than propping up bottom-feeders who want to privatize DNS. My daily driver is Chrome on desktop, and Safari on mobile. I really like Vivaldi, too.
I would argue moving would require moving the VC industry as well, but if anyone can do it, YC would be the one to get it done.
Having said that, it's going to be a real challenge - SV's prominence is quite massive and long-held. Founders would need this new location to offer similar benefits in terms of talent, investor access, etc. to make it worth their while.
> As a reminder to everybody the Python Community Code Of Conduct applies here.

The issue was marked closed, because the associated work was completed and the PR was merged. The same comment happened to mention the code of conduct, but the code of conduct wasn't why the issue was closed--it was just because the work was done.

I think the comment mentioned the CoC because the previous comment, "This is appalling" was a bit rude.
I really love Copilot. I had a trial, let it expire because I thought I wouldn't really need it, and then ended up paying for it. It's apparently got even better. For me, at least, it gets most things very right and takes a lot of mundanity out of day to day development!

They don't discriminate against good public CS programs though? There are many interns from Berkeley for example. There also aren't that many SWE interns from e.g. Harvard - there are a lot of trading interns from HPY but that program recruits heavily from math departments, not just CS.

I'm not sure if people ITT are mixing up trading with engineering or projecting old Wall Street biases onto Jane Street, but it's just not true that they prioritize what school a SWE went to. I'm not claiming they pour recruiting resources into Mediocre U, but they don't automatically filter out any schools, and there aren't any schools that get an automatic interview either.

And most relevant here, any school bias that does exist is related much more to the CS department at that school than any kind of archaic prestige/exclusivity factor. Waterloo and CMU are among the most represented for SWEs there - very good schools but not exactly global brands.

But they easily could be. You fill out a Schedule C and it changes one line on your 1040. If the government filled out your 1040 for you, you'd do your Schedule C and 1, and then fill that into the one line on your pre-filled 1040.

Out of the 10 top ones in that list about Rust (there's one about C code in GCC),

1. 6 are because of unsafe code.

2. 3 are because of ouf-of-memory (OOM) errors.

3. 1 is due to unsafe code in `tokio`, but I think it's fair to consider unsoundness in tokio's safe abstractions (over unsafe code) as unsoundness in "safe Rust" because the crate is so foundational, even if its third party.

Regardless, I don't think any of the above support your claim that "the borrow checker only prevents the easiest memory errors".

I imagine one could argue that OOM vulnerabilities are less likely to happen in Zig because of its emphasis on fallible and explicit allocation, but that's still not an argument for the borrow checker only preventing the easiest memory errors I think.
Apparently the increase in valuation from investors post-YC means that the program pays for itself in terms of dilution.
The big difference here is that in such a scenario all of the participants explicitly use the Teams or Zoom and they're technically "getting notified about recording" in the terms and conditions of Teams or Zoom telling that Microsoft or Zoom is getting the recordings which they got when starting to use Teams or Zoom. However, in that bot scenario, none of the other participants are users of otter.ai, have no relationship with them and so can't grant any permissions.
In Germany (for employees) they just take their share and if you’re ok with that you don’t have to do anything at all.

I used the eSIM swap feature a few months ago and it was surprisingly seamless. Once I set up my new phone, I got a prompt on my old one asking if I wanted to convert my physical SIM to eSIM, hit approve, entered PIN, and the eSIM was instantly available on my new phone.
In my experience this is a highly underrated statement.

I think uBlock Origin providing a manifest-v3 compatible extension would be a net negative for the community. As it will help more people accept the status-quo and accept a mediocre state of ad blocking, instead of switching to Firefox
Or—much more simply—some people use a few of these features occasionally to take nice pictures of things they are doing, track their hikes on the weekend or whatever.

It amazes me to see the extents people will go to in order to pretend they can’t even conceive of simple scenarios.

Replying to myself to add some things I think are real boons to development:

- https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/posts/ - I don't code in C or C++ but I love to read these posts with the limited understanding that I possess

- GitHub has another product which is good https://github.com/dependabot - similar in nature to Snyk, Renovate, etc.

- there was an HN thread yesterday about govulncheck which looks pretty nice as a Go-known-vulnerability-in-your-dependencies checker

- code review is invaluable

- continuous integration and a build that passes and expands to cover new bug cases is really helpful
I have never spoken about this publicly but I found a contract job that paid about $4k for the project a few years ago. It required me hosting a secure database for a couple months and was a run-of-the-mill django project.

I coded it up, ran the project and got paid. I put back 30% for taxes and paid the AWS hosting bills (mostly for RDS) of about $500 and gave the rest to someone who was battling cancer. I gave it to them personally, in cash, in all 1's as a joke. It was pretty cool to see over $2,000 in singles packaged up in money transport ziplocks put down in a gift bag. They thought I was giving them a brick as a joke.

I tell you what - it made me feel like I was on top of the world.

I look back on it and I kind of wish I had figured out how to eat the taxes and give all of it except the hosting costs (I didn't have a ton of expendable income at the time).

Reading this story and thinking about them seeing the tax bill reminded me of this. Kudos to them for being able to give all of it on to worthwhile causes. I bet they felt amazing. It is so nice to be able to do something for someone.

The fanaticism of Rust devs makes me think it's probably massively overrated (see Node yesterday and Ruby/Rails the day before) and Go is associated with Google which gets a perhaps unfair but still unignorable knee-jerk reaction from me to avoid it.

I don't know enough about Nim to pass judgment.

Two reasons I decided to give Zig a try: The official chat channel is on IRC, instead of Discord or Slack (so the people involved care about efficiency, open standards, and avoiding trends/bandwagoning), and it has an early but promising-looking Swift UI-like cross-platform UI framework in development: https://github.com/capy-ui/capy

This makes sense. I have not seen anyone else explain it so succinctly. It seems like then from a logical perspective we are shifting the capital needed to be a validator from investment in GPU/ASIC, computing power, and energy to just actual direct investment of those same types of funds?

Basically instead of using money to buy all of the above you just directly invest the money itself. Which is the Stake?
We have no way to know for sure. Turkey managed to keep the religious hardliners out of power for nearly a century. Even now the people in power there are nowhere near the same as Iranian leadership. And there's still a chance Turkish democracy may recover.
Some might find Zig to have better ergonomics and some work on systems where dynamic memory allocation and concurrency are inappropriate for safety reasons anyway.

The question is: how many people will miss manifest v2 options.

I'm using adblocker written by myself. It's pretty primitive, it uses declarative blocking by URLs and optionally inserts some CSS and JS to selected websites. So far I was able to solve all my ads issues with this approach.

It seems to me that open source/ free software might be in its death throes.

Can anyone name a recent open source library or program that is widely used and community controlled beside Linux?

Open source now mainly serves as a way for trillion dollar companies to pool resources to develop software they all need and minimize how many developers they need to hire (see Linux).

We have seen again and again how open source developers and maintainers are giving the short end of the stick and have seen over and over again companies try to have make an open source business model and fail. RedHat is basically the exception that proves the rule.
To add to that, I think the vulnerability is actually caused by unsafe code too:

Go look at herb sutter's guru of the week articles, and consider how many C++ programmers can actually solve them. Then consider c++ has gotten even more complex in the past 9 years since he last published a gotw.

The main problem is that every c++ programmer has their favorite little bit of complexity in the language, and that favorite bit is different for everyone. So you end up with a codebase sprinkled with the full spectrum of language complexity if you're working with a large team, meaning you need to understand all of it if you want to understand the codebase generally.

At least with complex libraries, the complexity can be safely hidden behind the API. Not so with complex languages, at least in my experience.

They definitely marketed it as a tool for situations when you're not expecting to need it. Like, they were pretty clear about how it would be slower and very limited compared to dedicated satellite telephony devices.
I totally agree with you as well. I currently have a Garmin Fenix 6 pro and it lasts around 14 days. As someone who is into trail running and backpacking, a 36 hour battery life is untenable, and charging it every night seems like a pain.

The irony is that AirPods have a really great battery life (especially the carrying case) despite the small form factor, and are my go-to for long runs.
That's not the news. The news is that otter.ai did it automatically and even though the user had it disabled.

You're using a definition of "run by the government" that is both bizarre but also does not fit the NHS.

This belief that the NHS is not run by the government isn't a belief, it's fact, as you'd know if you'd read the legislation.

Your comments about putting a trust into special measures - not allowing it to go bankrupt - has nothing to do with it being run by the government or not, it's about protecting patients. There are plenty of providers of NHS services that do go bankrupt.

It's okay that you don't understand the NHS - it's a complex tangle of organisations. It's less okay that you insist that your poor understanding is The Truth. Genuinely weird that you accept that I know more about the NHS than you, but on this one point I must be wrong.
Ask HN: What do you think of MrBeast?
MrBeast is the youtuber with most views on YouTube. His videos regularly get 50 - 100 million views. His videos is immensely popular with my kids and their friends. I have also watched some of them and they are entertaining. What I don't get is where does he get all his money from? For example, in a recent video he have away a private island worth $800k: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2isYuQZMbdU How does he afford it?
There's a handy chart in "The Joy of Clojure" that I refer to whenever I'm trying to tackle concurrency problems:

| | ref | agent | atom | var |
| coordinated | x | | | |
| asynchronous | | x | | |
| retriable | x | | x | |
| thread-local | | | | x |

Turns out I have never needed coordinated, synchronous stuff. I have dabbled with agents, but just for an Advent of Code problem.

I do like that 63% (!!) of clojure repos have no mutable references at all - that tracks very strongly with my experience. And that the average number of mutable references is less than 2! Immutability can carry you a long ways, and I love that I can trust that contract. On the other hand, it's nice that I can opt in to mutation really easily if I need it.
The basic problem is one of tracking (or not tracking) copies of data. Your information at Facebook is stored primarily on several storage systems, but extra copies might exist in backups, data-analysis pipelines, logging systems, etc. At the time I left (two years ago), there was a cutely-named project well under way to ensure deletion of those primary copies and (IIRC) backups. Fragments still in data-analysis systems might still exist, but they're also less personally identifying. I don't recall the state of anonymization and provenance tracking that would allow even these remnants to be found and purged for certain. So we're basically talking about two different questions.

(1) Is it possible to be sure that the primary copies and backups are gone, so that finding anything that's left would require some very specialized knowledge and/or an infeasibly massive scan? I believe the answer to this is probably yes at this point.

(2) Is it possible to be sure that absolutely every last vestige of the person's time on Facebook is gone? I believe the answer to this is still probably no, and likely to remain so for some time. At the very last, some artifacts will remain in those opaque AI models.

I suspect the same two answers exist at many companies. What is HN's data retention policy? Oh, oops, none of my data would be deleted if I left. I suspect that Google and/or Apple, maybe Microsoft as well, are a lot closer to "yes" on that second question, but even then I suspect gaps appear from time to time.

I say this not to condemn or defend anyone, and I know companies under stricter regulatory regimes can give more definite answers. It's just the state of the art at Big Tech companies as I understand it.

> How many people use adblockers?

About 43 %, according to [1].

> Is there any chance manifest v3 will lead to enough users abandoning Googles Chrome […]

No. Google Chrome is pretty much in the same position as Internet Explorer used to be. It's the default browser in the most popular mobile OS and the first thing people install on their PC (or get it installed by someone else). Mozilla can barely play catch-up with all the complex web standards pushed by Goog&co., to say nothing about adding killer features that could bring enough users back from Chrome.

Modern web browsers are rapidly approaching the YouTube territory. That is, becoming a technology so complex that only a multibillion-dollar conglomerate can really maintain it without losing money.

> We can build small, livable (for various definitions) homes for $50k (or less) today

Not sure I agree with this. If we assume a labor at a rate in the order of 1 worker-hour per square foot (this is highly variable, from 0.5 to 2 hr/ft^2), a 2000 sqf home would require 2000 hours. At minimum wage ($15/hour) that means $30K, just for labor. This does not include concrete, lumber, stucco, sheetrock, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, appliances, landscaping, etc. It also does not include permits and design fees. And of course, assuming $15 per hour would not be accurate at all. By the time you get a contractor involved and various trades you are paying significantly more than that, perhaps closer to $75 per hour on average. That gets you up to $200K, again, just in labor costs.

DIY is a different matter. And yet, it isn't. At some point opportunity cost comes into the equation. It would be silly for me to DIY a home until I am retired or unemployed. The loss of income --opportunity cost-- of devoting thousands of hours to home-building would be massive.

If we are talking about building homes at scale, except for some very specific locations and types (pre-fab?), I am not sure you could build something for $50K these days. For example, I have personally had to deal with LA County's Building for permits and plan-checks for my 13 kW solar array (yes, I DIY'd that). They easily added $50K, if not more, to my budget without reason or justification. The most grotesque example of this is that they made me put in 64,000 lbs of concrete into the footings for my ground-mount structure. An architect friend of mine told me I could support a four-story building with that amount of concrete. Why? Nobody knows. Once the plan checker made that decision there was no way to reason with him. Power trip? It was death by a thousand cuts.
I’ve found it to be pretty robust. I’ve taken the same phone on winter climbs in interior Alaska and summer floats, one of which I had to unstick a raft from a rock while water poured over me for about 30 minutes while it was in a pocket in my PFD. It’s held up just fine.

The only thing is battery life. Especially in the cold, but that’s not an Apple thing, that’s an electronics thing. But you keep it in an internal pocket where body heat can keep it warm and turn off all the radios, or even the phone itself while not in use, and it can last a long time. I can now trade out my garmin inreach for a portable battery (which I already carry every trip yet never needed so far).
I tend to just give up on a package if it requires a C toolchain to install. Even if I do end up getting things set up in a way that the library's build script is happy with, I'll be inflicting pain on anyone else who then tries to work with my code.
