A major problem is the rate of change. The climate changes naturally all the time, but these processes usually take a couple of millennia. In that time frame the biosphere has time to adapt; species can migrate etc. We're in the process of compressing millennia of change into a hundred years.
It also doesn’t work :)
Or even if you're just not wealthy. You could use computers at the library/school. You could only have one computer in your household (like so many of us were familiar with in the 90's). It is a bit absurd to think that everyone lives like us tech geeks where we all know more, dedicate more time and money to tech, and are going to just have more tech in our households. I think a common issue we face is not realizing that others live in worlds that we do not experience, even from the periphery (covid was a good example of this. Groups aren't homogeneous and many don't actually know someone who died of covid and someone else knows several. Reality isn't what we see happening because we have limited views).
If you are interested in building teams, line manager is the way to get there.

And if you think building your own company somehow lets you get around being a line manager... Unless you have a trust fund, I don't think that'll work. Pretty much no startup can afford to outsource people leadership until you've grown a good bit.

If you go the "tech lead" route in FAANG, you have some input into the building of the team, but you should be aware that's limited. Ultimately, the person doing the day-to-day leadership (the line manager) is the person who has the strongest voice in how the team is shaped.
Maybe in future the players have to play in an isolated (no spectators) but monitored environment (cameras), naked (minimum clothing provided if absolutely necessary). Then it's only prisoner wallets to consider, which full body scanners can sort out.

Tell HN: Dillo Web Browser Project's Domain Is Back
Over a month ago HN was notified [1] that the Dillo web browser's domain had expired, and that it was for sale.

I sent an email to the contact on page linked in the item, and offered to buy the domain, and made it clear that I'm buying it to give it back to the Dillo project. Their asking price was way out or my reach, but I offered to pay $1200, and showed my intentions were pure by showing that I had done something similar with svelte.io domain. I also offered to include their, or their company's name, when announcing the return of the domain to the project.

To my surprise, their response was

I have decided not to sell the domain, and keep it. I have reuploaded the original site from WayBackMachine, ...

With that, the dillo.org domain is back online, serving its original purpose, at least as of now. It has been over a month since that response, and the dillo.org website still shows the Project's pages; so I don't have any reason believe the domain will be used for anything else anytime soon.

Right.

There is no PH step here. That typically involves heating the metal and spraying it with a solution that contains different metals. Some steel is hard to heat treat in the typical way (heating/quenching), but precipitation hardening may work differently. It gets real science real fast.

I don’t know all the ins and outs, but I suspect the article was taking liberties in “just as good” being “the same”. That was my point, they might have made something great, but without sprinkling it was copper or chromium or whatever solution, it’s not PH.

One day I confessed a few sins to a very, very young priest, and he immediately discerned that I suffer from acedia. I'd never even heard of it, but he recommended a book for me to read, which I devoured. And it turns out that acedia is truly a rampant scourge of the modern world that is barely recognized for what it is.

You know how when you're sick but you have no diagnosis, it's difficult to treat or heal from it? Yeah, that's how it is spiritually. If you don't know the root causes or motivations for your sinful ways, you can't escape them and you're still in slavery.

So once I identified acedia (and it's a slippery, amorphous, insidious malady) I was able to make great progress along the path. In fact, God granted me the graces of self-knowledge and introspection so that I could further discern my identit, my vocation, and my destiny.

Yep so if you're doomscrolling your smartphone all day, or if you're addicted to Netflix/YouTube, you're probably suffering from acedia just as much as the French loved their absinthe and opium. Get diagnosed and get some help from above!

Bah. Compiling Java to bytecode consists of a lot of static resolution steps and then a fairly straightforward, simple translation. Single-stepping the bytecodes will absolutely produce the same results as the optimized JIT code and there are few expressions that generate more than 1 to a handful of bytecodes.
A huge number of (male) athletes across all sports are doping now. Testosterone deficiency is a medical condition, and taking “testosterone replacement therapy” is explicitly allowed by many sports. Even if it’s not allowed, it’s not really possible to robustly test for, because in some forms at least it’s simply increasing the levels of the same hormones that your body is naturally producing. Same goes for human growth hormone. Just take enough to put your levels at a very high, but plausibly natural level and you essentially can’t fail a drug test.

It’s only called “testosterone replacement therapy” when it’s prescribed by a doctor btw. Taking exactly the same course of medication in any other circumstances is called “taking steroids”.

The NHS is a disaster and the reason isn't because of "privatization" - it's because on average people don't want to work a job where they need to be a saint. Highly skilled doctors and nurses get paid more, get respected more, and have more agency working outside of government-run agencies. Average people who enjoy cushy, do-nothing government jobs love it when government expands, but unfortunately the work product produced is shoddy, net-negative to the economy, and lights money on fire.

The solution is more privatization, not less. The UK needs to do everything it possibly can to help entrepreneurs - let all the Hong Kong exiles in to start new businesses and move their capital in. Free trade agreements with the US but ultimately as many countries as possible.

You can look to Venezuela and Argentina for the alternative.

At 50%, do you start fudging numbers to ensure you go no higher? "No, Senator, we are not the majority of users, so we can't be a monopoly." Or maybe that's too immoral, so start funding the other(s) to prop them up? Microsoft propped up Apple to ensure there were other consumer OS makers with Apple being the most viable* competitor.

Interestingly this list covers "bad manager skills". Which emphasises the point that bad managers are bad.

Equally a good manager with average tech skills can do everything opposite to this list with the help of technical advice.

Sure we'd all like a great tech guy who somehow is also a fantastic manager. But let's accept those are rare.

Next best is a great manager (emphasis on good, not bad) who listens well and takes advice regarding pure tech matters. Over time their tech will improve (remember, good manager) but in the meantime IT flourishes.

Only then comes a great tech guy with poor management skills. Frankly poor management will kill a team faster than good tech skills can save it.

So yeah, as the article suggests, a great all rounder would be the best option. But I feel there aren't enough of those to go around. In that case I'll take a good manager over a good techie all day long.
You absolutely will have to leave details out - the HR person scanning through 30+ CVs doesn’t have the time or interest in reading through 3 pages of your work history to see if you tick the boxes they’re trying to match. You don’t have to list every job you’ve had, just list the relevant recent ones for the job you’re applying for. The ones you’ll talk about in your interview.
The "when" there is the tricky bit. When are we going to stop using SIMs for authentication? That relies on a whole lot of unrelated parties individually deciding to do something better. Absent government regulation (which will take a decade to implement anyway)... good luck with that.
I believe you could have an engine look at the historical games of a player and identify the "strength" of each move. How strong (in terms of elo) does a player have to be before they find a certain move? How often do the top players find moves that greatly exceed their own elo? Does Hans find top moves more frequently than his opponents?

The challenge with this appoach of course is identifying a players strengths and adjusting for their preparation. Making 20 top engine moves in a row is not odd if both players studied that exact line before the match.

What's odd is making 20 top moves in a row on a bizzare line that nobody has ever played before that Magnus specifically prepared because he knew it was unusual (and engine disadvantaged) and unlikely to be in anyone's prep.

If you take a look at Sublime Text packages, you will see that some of them were last modified years ago but they are still downloaded and sometimes even trend according to the packages site metrics.
You then have to ask, can I trust these packages? Or do I look elsewhere like VSCode on Neovim whose extensions and plugins are often regularly updated and maintained in comparison?
Yep, it would definitely benefit from a summary or simple English paragraph before the main text. It could actually prepare the reader for the more difficult comprehension.

It would be great if it was possible to make it easier to assess unscrupulous behaviour by medical professionals and to weed out bad actors whilst simultaneously screening out damaging but unjustified claims about them made by patients or detractors with an axe to grind.

I do have concerns about how easy it is for some specialists to create a gravy train for themselves by simply requiring regular 'assessment' visits for patients under their care or observation at what seems to be a ludicrous rate for five minutes of their time.

In the UK there is an ombudsman that people can report their concerns to, but what then? - How anonymous is the patient really and how significantly do they compromise their relationship with what is actually a small pool of people who all know each other and are subject to the pressures of their professional clique's members?

How can this be improved, because even if they are sure that they are being overcharged and poorly treated there is still an incentive for patients not to go up against the medical establishment?

Pricing transparency is one thing which can help, but if there is a departure from the 'expected' level, then what? Is the right thing to do simply for the patient to always assess the rate vs service and report anything which is an outlier without concern for potential downstream consequences from their specialists? Or does pragmatism prevail, even if it perpetuates poor behaviour by the medical professionals?

I think it takes a kind of ideology-fueled willed self-ignorance to ignore that men and women have different aptitudes and preferences and to completely neglect it as an explanatory factor.

Men clearly have a greater affinity for systems than women, women clearly have a greater affinity for people and living things, although one shouldn't exaggerate it to caricature and dichotomizing.

Additionally, men have a higher variance on intelligence, which means that you will have more very smart men at the cost of having more very dumb men, and so you have two barriers that more men that women will tend to get across--a high intelligence floor compared to many professions, and an affinity for systems over people. The caricature statement to avoid there is "men are smarter than women"--not the case, only that it seems like you'll get a larger pool inclined to the profession out of men by the way the distribution of intelligence works.

Not that rolling the latest CRUD app is rocket science, mind you, but it'd be silly to pretend that intelligence doesn't make a difference, and that intelligence distribution doesn't make a difference with sex concentration in the field.

You can encrypt a drive from within Firecracker trivially. It's just Linux, and they're just block devices.

You can do all the standard Linux tap interface networking with Firecracker; it just presents as virtio ethernet to the guest.

This is the second time you've compared Firecracker to a "full-featured Linux kernel". Again: Firecracker is a hypervisor. It's not a kernel. It runs Linux kernels. "Full-featured" Linux kernels. Whatever kernel you compile.

It's an auction price. I am paying half than normal cost in average.

The 'high' price was set up in case the instances were being killed because I was outbid by other AWS users. But the spot price has never been that high.

The instances were killed anyway. So the reason is some technical glitch and not the price.

It's a CPU and RAM intensive process. Something in the VM governor is killing VM processes if they exceed some threshold, killing my instances.
It has probably been remastered, which is about the same as recompiling

Having read this I can only assume apple is trying to gouge money as usual. No recourse for the developer but to waste their time and money on a pointless number update.

At least with android I could develop an app and target the fdroid store.
I've really embraced biometrics now that I understand that they're effective for certain use-cases when properly implemented.

For example, the primary threat model for my mobile device is a combination of shoulder-surfing and theft, because I ride a lot of public transit. So it's way more secure for me to touch the fingerprint sensor rather than constantly peck in my password while I'm being observed. A common criminal or homeless dude who steals/finds my phone won't know my password because I'm not revealing it, and they're unlikely to have access to my finger or its print.

If my threat model were different, say law enforcement/TSA confiscation or something, I might be more worried about walking around with fingerprint auth enabled. So if I head to the airport or enter some other high-risk area, I might consider disabling that, removing the sdcard and/or SIM card temporarily.

Biometrics as a way for my personal device to recognize my physical presence is mature tech, and useful for consumers in ways that passwords aren't.
paper from 2012, fwiw
My first thought when I saw this was Dan Luu's recent blog post on futurism and how to accurately predict the future (https://danluu.com/futurist-predictions/). And on that scale of futurists, the one presented here does seem to be on the less accurate scale of things--the understanding does seem to be closer to cocktail party (or perhaps more accurately "I once saw a technical talk") than the deep domain expertise that appears to be necessary for accurate predictions.

I'm only a compiler developer, so my knowledge of computer architecture, operating systems, and formal methods aren't all that great--but it does appear stronger than the author. Like the statement of how processors work today in prediction 4 is just plain wrong (as is the analysis of OS complexity in prediction 7), and my experience in exotic accelerator hardware paradigms makes me lol at prediction 3.
Looking forward to it. I also see this as potential syntax that could be translated into html.
I believe it’s better if they are.

I once reported to a CTO whose bible was How To Influence People and Make Friends.

He ordered a migration of 4 million records to be done in a weekend because he had promised the CEO “everything would be fine by Monday” but I had told him that that plan would require 5 days to put everything in place, even a rollback.

The fact that he refused to hear me out when I pointed out the infrastructure capacity and the SQL scripts tested beforehand to arrive at my estimate made me wary of management that doesn’t understand even the basics of the technology we use.

So I think it goes a long way when CTOs are technical. They can give more realistic deadlines to reports while being able to be reasonably honest to their colleagues about estimates and progress.

I operate a large fleet of mysql db instances. We cannot use Cloudsql (RDS competitor) due mainly to cost. BUT, one thing left out, was the ability to have complex topologies. EG. MasterA <- SlaveA[1..n] <- MasterB <- SlaveB[1..n]. With extremely high writes, being able to cut and shard where you want if very powerful. In this example you could write to MasterB with different data. If i need to filter a table in replication: done. We don't need to beg AWS RDS team for the option to change a db variable (I have done this). Warning: Doing this stuff at scale with massive bills is very stressful. It took about a year to get everything ironed out [snapshots, autoscaling, sharding, custom monitoring, etc].
