Profiling the user based on their seemingly private usage of the device is a breach of privacy. This is the big issue. It's not okay to be all for privacy when it's other corporations' tracking methods, but employ the same methods for yourself.

What Apple basically did was say "tracking users for ads is great, and we realized we don't have to share this data with other ad companies, so good for us."

Apple can collect device data for technical purposes, which is borderline, but more acceptable.

1) So from the jump, you're counting on legislation to work against the interest of big insurance. You might be waiting a while.

2)This position presents a pretty messed up vision of the world IMO. As if the ideal state of things is that Google/Apple/Meta holds auctions where Draft Kings, Poker Stars, and a gambling support line can bid on a gambling addict's attention.

3) Asserting that targeted ad sales are good because they identify criminals is a big stretch imo

I don't think Covid killed literally 0 people. But there's more than 1 reasonable explanation for at least some of these excess deaths, including looking at the Covid countermeasures themselves. Suicides and other deaths of despair? People who couldn't get their required cancer and other treatments? What about the attempted medical treatments for Covid? We're not going to agree on this, I imagine, but there's a lot more to be looked at.

I’ve seen several posts and comments claiming the DOJ made the “less than 12 copies” claim but I’ve yet to see any actual evidence the DOJ made that claim. The “source” linked to is always a tweet, or a comment on an article, or occasionally even to an article... that doesn’t even mention the DOJ made the claim in the first place.

Where does the DOJ make this assertion?
Hey, what if we added an x-i-am-an-ad-bot header to HTTP?

It is much more likely that the preservation of literature had become less affordable following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. In the past, books were written on perishable material and had to be copied down to survive. The copying was tedious, labour intensive and expensive. Without the Roman bureaucracy I don't see how many books could have survived. This is far more likely to be the reason than a deliberate effort by some fanatical Christians.
The racial disparities cut across class. The most famous example being the complications that Serena Williams experienced during delivery https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/1/11/16879984/serena-wil.... The impact of lives lost and diminished by racialized access to and administration of health care is immense https://ballardbrief.byu.edu/issue-briefs/maternal-mortality...

Besides looking at other industrialized countries, it also insightful to look at the health outcomes of the us against other Caribbean and African states, particularly in the places where most of the Black women in the us live.
In 2019, the reported maternal mortality rate (MMR) for Black women in the US state of Georgia was 66 / 100,000.

Barbados MMR of 12.6 / 100,000.
Bahamas, MMR of 22.4 / 100,000.
Zimbabwe, MMR of 53.9 / 100,000.
Botswana, MMR of 45.9 / 100,000 (the MMR of white women in Georgia)
Jamaica, MMR of 13.7 / 100,000.
Cuba, MMR of 5.1 / 100,000

I think of "neurotypical" as an idealized version of what society expects a person's thinking to be. In a similar way to society defining gender roles. Not only does it not apply to any single person (but rather, people will conform more or less to that neurotypical construct), but it will vary based on country, social class, etc... Being neurodivergent means that you significantly diverge from said ideal, leading to all kinds of problems.

> Why is it race instead of class and not race AND class?

It's not race and class because race has eclipsed class in the public discourse. I don't know why that is but if I was being cynical I'd say it's to sow division and limit effectiveness.

On And vs Or, there's limited space in public discourse. Introducing additional issues necessitates that space being divided into smaller chunks. Grouping the issues also only serves to narrow your potential support. That's not to say certain issues can't/shouldn't be grouped.

Personally I believe that a focus on class would be more effective in dealing with the harms of systemic racism than the current approach focused on race. While also taking a lot of steam out of the right's rhetoric.

I honestly only see harm in the current approach where upper middle class white people tell some guy living in a trailer, paycheck to paycheck, that he has white privilege and that's why he should be paying reparations and passed over for a job.

> Also, who has been canceled inappropriately?

I'm not talking about people being cancelled, I'm talking about how we engage with people who are either politically apathetic or exploring a leftist perspective for the first time.

> 1. Generally already on the right

There seems to be this insular view that we should only engage with people that already fully agree with us and it often results in attacking people that might have problematic views that they would otherwise have become open to examining. I've seen a lot of younger people who don't necessarily have fully formed opinions pushed away in this way. The same applies for people who are generally apathetic and maybe examining their opinions for the first time.

> 2. If they are pushed, it's by the internal contradictions on the left. And those internal contradictions are caused by a wavering of conviction, not an excess

Hard disagree. The demand for ideological purity is the biggest factor that pushes people who haven't quite made up their mind or don't fully engage to the right. We literally saw this play out with the atheism movement in the early 2010s.
Indeed. The only way to prevent it is to update minimum code to require a higher level efficiency.

> This is a common mistake that I see inexperienced interviewers make. Trying to throw more detailed and specific exercises at candidates is a fool's errand at best, and at worst it means that you're putting candidates through additional tests

Have you tested this assertion with data? Because I’ve built interview pipelines several times now and the data I collected showed the exact opposite. The more specific a test was for the trait you wanted to select for the better results you’d get across all metrics, interviewers and candidates. It’s almost my defining characteristic of a good selection criteria after 2 decades of interviewing.

I don't think guilt is helpful, but this logic has some issues. You obviously cannot have everyone be a coder. And becoming a coder takes many intervening steps of which choices are only one factor. Being born in a developed country (heck only the US has those truly insane salaries), having a natural interest for it, having universities and the means to study, living in a safe home etc. these are all unearned yet make up 90% of the end result.
Well, since I took the time to answer your previous question with many examples of issues and you seem to think they have been solved, why don't you go through my list and explain how you would solve each of them, or how you have seen them solved?

That would be helpful, and would be the polite thing to do. Simply saying they have isn't.

Also please note the last paragraph on my post. It's an important one.

Also remember, the black box is heavily audited and signed off by all interested parties. There's plenty of space for improvement, but it's not only good enough but it's also much better than what I observe everywhere else and our own past.

This regulatory environment is unsustainable. Actually do things.
Life is fundamentally unpleasant and once you have your basic daily needs met you have time to develop mental issues. In the west basically everyone including the homeless don't have to worry about being eaten, murdered, starving or dying from exposure. This leaves a lot of leeway for everyone to think how bad they have it while historically being in the top 1%.

It's rather hard to have empathy for someone who has it better than you. But I've found it helps to also remind yourself that the majority of people who ever lived will feel the same way about you.
"10x" mostly functions as a reputation badge. It's not a realistic metric for performance.

It's something you get from other people. There's not a good test to figure out if you're 10x better than some randomly picked average developer.

This would be an alternative source of methane rather than getting more from the ground. If we could recycle the carbon in the atmosphere + hydrogen from water we could use this wherever methane is used currently without needing to make new vehicles / aircraft etc that run on hydrogen.

Anyone have experience with using Scalar? How is it? How far can it scale?

I'm also curious how they managed to drive it into the Git project. Presumably there can't be that many orgs out there for whom git repo size is a bottleneck. My rationale there is that the Linux kernel has thousands of contributors and vanilla Git scales ok there. Maybe I'm being naïve about something?
Similarly, I like how any LTI system is just poles and zeroes in the s-plane. Or, if your system is sampled (DSP, and actually most signals you'll deal with in a computer), in the z-plane.

But not just every LTI system, ever sampled signal is poles and zeroes in the z-plane.

I have used that fact for years, and it still blows me away from time to time. Laplace and z-transforms are pretty magical, more so than Fourier even (which is basically a special case).

I don't know anyone that would say that 10x developers don't exist at all. It's too easy to bring up someone like John Carmack or many foundational people in computer science that invented algorithms us layfolk could never imagine.

My experience with the phrase is people mean finding a "diamond in the rough" who can code circles around anyone else. It's not about finding a Norvig or Carmack, it's about finding a fresh graduate that you can stick on a problem and they will be bountifully productive.

It's basically a manager's wet dream: extremely productive but cheap. In my experience real 10x people appear to be the opposite: seemingly slow but incredibly expensive. Everyone I actually consider 10x makes millions. And of those that are friends, they didn't really reach that 10x stage until their 30s or 40s.
The problem is that the overwhelming majority of books written are complete crap. And that’s true even among the select few books that actually manage to get published. Crowd funded novels would have a terrible return on investment. And unlike the VC model where one unicorn can make up for hundreds of garbage investments the same strategy won’t work when allocating you’re limited lifetime reading hours.

are you using an already-existing HTTP engine, like Jetty or Tomcat?

Yes, Javalin is built on top of Jetty.

- how do virtual threads fit into a web framework?

Most JVM web frameworks (Jetty included) have a thread based request lifecyle (one thread handles one request from beginning to end). The java.lang.Threads are extremely expensive (~1mb memory), while Virtual Threads are very cheap (~0mb memory). We also have another ThreadPool for JSON streaming, and one for writing async responses. Using Virtual Threads for these things reduces overall memory pressure.

- do virtual threads make debugging more difficult? (A more general JVM question, I suppose)

Not that I know, but I've never used this in production myself.

- any performance / readability benefit, or just a coolness factor?

The alternative here is java.lang.Threads, so primarily the memory footprint. There is no readability difference. When developing, you don't see this at all.
There's a lot of people that would find that useful. I.e. diabetics that need to monitor blood sugar levels comes to mind but I'm sure there are other medical conditions were it'd be helpful to continuously monitor some vitals. Fall sensors for people that are prone to falling and who might need help if they fall is also another use case.
No Xecute code
Besides, every time you try to create a “least privileged role” to run infrastructure as code, that role has so many privileges it’s easy for mistakes to cause mistakes in your production “environment” that you meant to only affect your dev “environment”.

And I know I’m probably preaching to the choir. But one of the misconceptions I have to constantly fight is “we run our Lambdas in a VPC for security reasons”. (Lambdas are never “run in” a customer VPC)
I would’ve never believed to see Lübeck mentioned here on HN. I find it super cute how our small, traditional Marzipan company has made it into candy shops of the world.

This seems pretty straightforwardly wrong? All else equal it's better to have things be less work. And saying that isn't an insult to people who had to do the hard work in the past.

> It’s insulting to present this as an improvement over what was achieved by those doing all this hard work.
The article indicates that the majority of the revenue drop came from people spending less on games.

What isn’t addressed but seems logical to me is that as inflation rises and overall consumer spending declines, smartphone users have less appetite to indulge in subscriptions for nonessential software.

My work recently supplied me with my first iPhone. Browsing the App Store I was shocked that nearly every popular app used a subscription model. Subscriptions for Twitter apps? Camera apps? Note taking? Someone could easily pay more in subscriptions to apps than it would cost to subscribe to the New York Times!

The subscription model is undoubtedly a boon to developers but it’s a costly splurge to users during a looming recession. Maybe we’re reaching the apex of SAAS for discrete apps - the center cannot hold forever on this business model.
