Company description: Elastic Path powers mission-critical digital commerce for the world’s leading brands, such as Intuit, Pella, Deckers Brands, T-Mobile, and over 250 other leading enterprises. As relentless innovators, Elastic Path pioneered the API-Commerce space in 2011 and spearheaded Composable Commerce in 2020. Elastic Path provides industry-leading commerce APIs to help developers rapidly build, deploy, and continuously optimize unique commerce solutions.

My take: Elastic Path is an amazing place to work. We have a very modern stack consisting of microservices written in Go, k8s on AWS, MongoDB, etc. Beyond working with great tech it's a wonderful company culture and has been growing steadily. They are focused on sustained profitable growth instead of VC funds, definitely a safe place with this uncertain economy.
I always though LinkedIn had pivoted years ago, into a Dating Site. Are they still doing recruiting? :-)
It reminds me of Idris, where the types can actually run programs (at compile time) as long as they can be proved to terminate, which is more often than I though.
I can't find any links to pricing info on the site, is this published anywhere?
That sounds stupid. Iran is an official government agency, they can just ask twitter or some ally like UAE or China to hand over all the information in a form a lot easier for searching through than logging into their account.
That's a good point and one that is forgotten here.

Twitter was NOT looking for a buyer before any of this happened.

Getting Senpai to Notice You
If you view wanting to stop bloodshed as dumb, perhaps you've lost the plot.
Back in the day before operating systems copied the feature there were tons of Android apps that added a red shift on top of your screen by drawing over other applications (i.e. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csk.app.sh..., https://github.com/LibreShift/red-moon). This usually breaks/doesn't work with banking apps and other such secure contexts but for most apps that's probably fine.

Sounds like you should be able to do this by just modifying Red Moon to draw a more complex overlay. If the entire screen is affected equally, the stock app may just be all you need!

I think folks that use Splunk for basic search just don't fully comprehend how capable the product is for hunt-type operations when someone fluent in SPL is at the helm.
The most productive people may program in mainstream languages like Java, but their programming is informed by exposure to a broader variety of languages than just the mainstream ones.

To stick with Java as the example, Java was designed with a set of affordances for managing mutability, complex inheritance relationships, and objects with rich behavior, and the coding norms and "wisdom" surrounding Java in the early years was based on that. Appreciation for immutability, value objects, and transformation rather than mutation came from outside of Java. That's my experience and the experience of the people I've worked with: our understanding of the value of immutability and dumb data came from working in languages that demanded or at least strongly suggested it and had elegant affordances for it. If we worked exclusively in Java, we would have been much less likely to realize the value of an approach that seemed alien and awkward in our language of choice. (Eventually, due to popular demand, better language support was tacked onto Java, but I'm talking about 10+ years ago.)

Every programmer should at least dabble in other languages and try to absorb the good big ideas from them, even if they ultimately put these ideas to work in "mainstream" languages.
Well yeah that's why roads are black/grey, asphalt is made of oil.

IIRC the original deal deadline is October 24. This leads me to believe that Musk is under some time pressure to propose something like this. He is hoping Twitter agrees to this proposal and subsequently Musk would be able to blame financing falling apart for the failure to complete the deal. Twitter is right to suspect this is a ruse.

Musk's tweets that he thinks Twitter would be an "accelerant" for some vague idea of a super-app is just more smoke to obscure a cynical move. He has no clue of how to make one. There is good reason to think the whole idea of a "super app" is specific to some Asian markets.

Now Twitter must be counting all the losses Musk will take if Musk is forced to pay $54.20 per share. The settlement will be a few dollars less.

There is potential for collateral damage: If Musk is forced to sell a lot of $TSLA, it could be the tipping point where investors wonder what a realistic valuation is for a car maker that is about the same size as BMW, but is currently valued 3.5X the market cap of Toyota.

Check out the latest release of our Cluster API Provider Hetzner! We have updated to the latest version of CAPI and did some general updates.

I am especially happy to announce the official sponsoring of both Hetzner dedicated and Hetzner Cloud of our project! Finally, our CI tests run on fully sponsored HCloud and baremetal machines!

If you also want to check it out, we are more than happy about suggestions and contributions to our docs! We would like to enhance them together with the big Hetzner community! Also share the project with your friends, if you think they'd be interested.

Leave us a star if you haven't done that yet ;)
That would be anecdotal, and after the fact when he is trying to be on his best behavior. Also, email and online communication in general is not a good way to judge somebody. for better and worse, People read non-existent tone into things I write endlessly, and you have to just stop caring about the disconnect it is so bad.

To be clear, I have no idea as to the truth of this situation, I am just saying the criteria to judge it must be different than that, especially because creeps do their best to hide their creepiness to the general world.
Why would you risk everything to start a company only to be forced to give up most of it to other people? Why would others invest (i.e. buy stock) in your company only to give up control to non-owners?
Here’s an enlightening calculation to do: total volume of fuel used by nuclear power plants over 100 years providing enough energy for the world vs total volume of turbine blades doing the same. Feel free to be generous with your lifetime estimates for turbines, the results will still be shocking. You can also repeat the calculation for any other fuel source or power generation method and be equally impressed.
I worked in architectural CAD for a number of years (as a software engineer, not an architect), and this surprises me. Sure you needed a PC with a little bit of beef to work in it smoothly, but not unaffordably beefy. A not all that recent macbook was good enough for pretty much all of our customers. I left the company in 2019, and plenty of people were still working on a 2012 macbook on the latest version. My own dev machine was a 2015 macbook.

We did offer cloud rendering as a subscription service, but most people just did big renders overnight, and that was usually animations, not single-frame renders.

I'm curious which CAD software is such a bear that cloud desktop was worth it. Whether the particular industry was just that incredibly complex, or if the product was just slow and inefficient.
I don’t see Xpra mentioned in comments yet.

Works pretty well for us since remote windows and local are seamlessly integrated and managed by local WM. Solves the multi monitor issues. Definitely lower latency than vnc or rdp or nomachine from our testing. Windows, Mac and Linux clients all work well.
HNers need to learn to just ask people why they use a given tech instead of dismissing it outright because the HNer likes to do things a different way.

Another day and again another complaint about lack of proper (human) support from a big company.
When are we all going to realize that Facebook, Apple, Google and all the big names use automated moderating and they don't want to allocate resources for proper moderation?
They're not going to put in place a proper resolution mechanism and they don't care about the average user that got his/her email banned, page deleted or app removed.
I'm sure they're checking the numbers and the false positives/negatives are not that many that would require for these big companies to put something in place so as to not lose profit.
Let's all of us stop complaining and accept the current situation or even better find a cheap solution to real human moderation :-)
It's going to be an interesting 2024 election cycle if he gets Twitter.
Is there a cloud desktop product where I can select a development environment and instantly RDP into it pre-configured and ready to compile code with libraries installed etc?
We had a similar issue but not identical which led us to deploying all customers on a subdomain or their own domain. Rather than theirBusinessName.OurDomain.com people switched to shop.theirBusinessName.com and we used DNS cnames to point back to our servers.

We issued LetsEncrypt certificates automatically using Caddy and it works remarkably well for us. It also led us to become a paid LetsEncrypt sponsor and we have been for the past 4 years.
he is forcing himself by having signed the agreement - it is a contract - and that's how this works - even if you are a billionaire.
iMessage has a lot of users if you count people with iphones who very occasionally try to send a text but end up using iMessage. I count as one but it still is completely irrelevant to me. WhatsApp is where everything interesting is.
Who on Facebook's side resolved the problem in the end?
> The state passed a law saying you can't be racist. You can't come in and build a complicated way to be racist.

You totally can if you can get the courts to agree with you. See the entire history’s of the Civil Rights Act, which explicitly bans racial discrimination, and how it’s been ruled to be compatible with affirmative action.
I work at AWS on EC2. It's really not bad. Very competent coworkers, technical leadership, plenty of principal engineers willing to help... Oncall's tough, and we definitely need more engineers but otherwise, you learn a lot
I understand your exposing the absurdness of the statements, but musk can change his mind after 2 years.
I recently had a bit of a rant about security people and how 70% of the truly dumb decisions in our industry can be attributed to them.

Your description is exactly why. Security people wedge themselves into the halls of power and then start making decisions that don't actually negatively affect them all that much.

I've literally seen a CISO that insisted everyone worked in a way they themselves did not.
Any focus outside of Japan in terms of expansion (just wondering as I'm not there) ?

Also, have you looked into some global recruitment firms with Japanese branches? Might be a good option for partnerships.
Not bad article, but intro deeply confuses the issue. If you want fast builds for your org, use a build server farm that is much faster than the fastest workstation, and sma incremental builds locally or on your cloud desktop.
A local UX machine (15" Mac not built in the Dark Ages of 2016-2020, + desk monitor, good for 5+ years) with a FUSE mounted remote storage and a build farm is a great combo.
On another note, does anyone have experience with getting unblocked by Bing? Domain was blocked from the day of registration and has 100% legit content, yet I'm getting 'URL cannot appear on Bing'.

As far as I can tell, identical fur patterns on the face, but different aged cats. Interesting.
I mean there's a $1B break-up fee in the contract. I don't know why he doesn't just pay that and end the fiasco (also tanking Twitter's stock momentarily, hell he could make back a chunk of that in the derivative market most likely).

Oh, yeah I do know. Because the $55B is other people's money, and the $1B would be his money. So his choices at this point are 1) get out of the deal for approximately $0, 2) get out of the deal for approximately $1B, 3) buy Twitter for approximately $0.

Pretty clear why #2 isn't being considered.
Here is at least one thing that Andrew said:

Dereferencing a pointer to memory that doesn't point to a live valid object is undefined behaviour. You couldn't possibly specify what this does without instrumenting every single access to memory, like asan or valgrind does.

I really wish nouveau were in a better state. I have a positively ancient laptop with a 8600M nvidia chipset that just will not reliably operate with the nouveau driver.

Instead, I have to use https://github.com/MeowIce/nvidia-legacy to patch and install the proprietary drivers.
It really wasnt fun in the event the fun part was how it spread all over so fast afterwards and peoples reactions, the ingame experience for most was just dying over and over again :)
Hi Adam, for now we're offering 6 months free (you pay your own cloud usage). We will always have a free tier and will charge a platform fee as your usage scales, as well as a per-minute fee for usage of the cloud IDE (which will also have a free usage tier). Thanks for checking us out!

I'm not saying "Woe is Musk", I'm saying this is a deal where everyone is going to lose.

I don't even know what the worst/best case scenarios would be here.

If he's right about Twitter, now he has essentially a toxic asset and everyone knows it. But he made a bad deal in the worst way. No one is buying it from him. And people are going to be more hesitant to deal with him in the future. Because he's obviously not doing due diligence.

If he's wrong, it's not a good look for him either and while someone may eventually buy Twitter off of him, he'll likely have trouble with other deals still. Because of the diligence issue, and his conduct through this ordeal.

Like, who is coming out of this deal happy?
India and china do not benefit from turning a blind eye to active use of nuclear weapons for military or blackmail purposes. Remember that both India and Pakistan have a few nukes each. It's absolutely against India's interests to accept the principle that military use of nuclear weapons, or threat of their actual use, is acceptable internationally.
There was no catch-all "if you change your mind, just pay us $1B and we'll walk our separate ways" clause in the contract.

You're welcome. Much of the speed bump in 7 came from reworking internal memory usage and allocation. A pointer for an array entry used to be 128 bytes - each array entry had a 128 byte overhead. It was reworked and refactored down to... 42? or 44? You can probably imagine the impact that might have on memory allocation.
And have been in Thailand too
I think you two are not on the same page about what the cost function is.
The $1 billion clause is only if a 3rd party halts the deal.

Elon Musk can't invoke that clause. Only US government, or EU, or maybe a bank can invoke that.
I believe his factories are still currently running, so it doesn't appear he changed his mind on the matter.
Ken Thompson wrote in his famous paper [1] about quines:

> If you have never done this, I urge you to try it on your own. The discovery of how to do it is a revelation that far surpasses any benefit obtained by being told how to do it

Every once in a while I give them a try but I couldn't yet create one and it frustrates me very much. Afraid of being denied that "revelation" I never dared to read his paper past that point. I'm afraid I might never read it because of my ego.

> what else was it supposed to default to?

Reading his description of the issues, it sure sounds like they're as good as I'd think. I'm more optimistic about the gitpod-style remote development environments, honestly. But that post describes exactly what I expected from a "cloud desktop." I wouldn't expect someone to get much done if I inflicted that kind of work environment on them.
I remember 15 years ago having to plug a USB stick with network driver on it after installing Debian so the server would connect to the network in the datacenter...
Totally, I'm just saying I don't think anyone leaves this deal happy. Maybe the people getting the money, but that's it.
I’m assuming you’re in Poland. In the US and in some countries neighboring Poland there are owned and operated Apple stores with Apple staff. When I visit my work’s Warsaw office I always seem to need an Apple Store for something and end up settling for an iStore or similar third party. Authorized Retailers are fine but they usually lack all the small spare parts Apple will carry. On these trips I always seem to break a specific part that I know an Apple Store carries and have to wait until I am in another country.

These stores were started in the early 00s due to Apple’s lack of control over how their products were merchandised in US big box stores. Prior to Apple Stores, I purchased all my Apple products and equipment from a catalog or the early E-commerce catalog websites A lot of the experiential sales in Apples world stemmed from the retail experience they created.
I’d like to see a cost estimate in both dollars and land area for pumped hydro.

It is hard to overstate the impact that having a BBC micro in my 1980s rural primary school had on my career, without that I'd almost certainly have had a very different path through life. My eternal gratitude to whichever executive or politician decided to fund that program.
Exactly. I sort-of wish that my Leaf had longer range, active cooling, and CCS-2 instead of ChaDeMo ... but in fact I have never needed any of those things. Not even close. For longer trips we take my wife's car anyway because it has more space. The idea of taking my own car on a ski trip or visit to our daughter's college - both possible but without a comfortable margin - is really only nice in an abstract sense. The "buyer's remorse" I feel is mostly that I could have gotten the electric Mini (I drove a Mini for 14 years and loved it) for slightly less, despite it having only half the range.

When we replace the aforementioned wife's car, such that going electric would mean no ICE as a backup, maybe these things will be real issues. Of course, by then battery technology and charging infrastructure will have improved to the point where I'm 100% confident we'll be able to find something suitable. Meanwhile, articles like this are just FUD from people rationalizing their innate (or motivated) resistance to change.
If you think about it, you don't want Elon to not stop tweeting.

Next time, Elon tweets about buying something, wait for the market to go up, short the stock and make money when Elon eventually backs off?
sadly, the job of a CISO typically isn't "make the most pragmatic decisions possible to keep our infrastructure secure and running smoothly". In many industries, it's more lke "join as many compliance programs as possible to expand the ability to capture revenue from regulated markets".

The CISO didn't make the decision to enforce password rotation- the compliance programs your sales team asked for did
I agree "elaborate" is the keyword but for a different reason. He doesn't elaborate about what he considers "elaborate" so we have to fill in the blanks.

When I read it, "our most provocative thinkers and writers" made me wonder:

- Given any system don't you have a range of rigid versus loose followers? This looks true from my own observations of the note talking community.
- Couldn't normies those who are not "our most provocative thinkers and writers" get value out of such systems?
- Is Sasha aspiring to be one of "our most provocative thinkers and writers"? He wants to make his mark on the world so part of this writing is self talk.

Sasha accomplishes his goal. it's provocative writing and has produced a decent HN response. I have no evidence he means what he says because if so, it's a topic of personal preference. Fun and interesting but not immediately valuable (to me).
Your employees can't steal card transactions made with your POS equipment.

Most banks charge businesses a fee for cash deposits per thousand dollars deposited. It's not typically free.

I would say that it's more or less even between cash and card (although much better in Europe where the fees are capped much lower).
Isn't that just a characteristic of how they're evaluated? Any security error is the CISO's fault, "heads must roll", etc

Given that, they're likely to give you what you are asking from them: a brick with no functionality which will do nothing. You can't do anything with Brick, but Brick has zero outstanding CVEs
Like I said in another comment: https://github.com/LibreShift/red-moon with a more complicated pattern than just a single color may be all you need for many use cases.

I don't think Android has an easy to use global shader system, so you'll be stuck with overlay windows and the incompatibility they have with banking apps/DRM crapware that locks you out of your own screen without root access.
The $1B is a breakup fee if the deal failed for circumstances outside of his control.

No breakup fee was specified for 'the deal failed because he got cold feet'. That's one of the reasons the deal was so bizarre. He wrote it, and he wrote it in a matter that did not give him much room to maneuver.
> If "x64" can refer to amd64 or Intel 64, then it can also refer to PPC64, aarch64, mips64, et cetera.

No, it cannot. It refers exactly to AMD64 (not "amd64", it's a GCC's marketing name) and Intel 64 (and their previous revisions) and nothing else. See, I too can omit middle terms in a logical sequence and simply assert the conclusion (You've omitted something like "and if the name can denote two things it may as well denote any number of things with vaguely similar alternative names" which is obviously ridiculous).

> "Intel 64" could refer to Itanic

By your own logic it could not. "Itanium" is a marketing name, the architecture's actual name was "IA-64".

The things have names that people put on them. If people refer to AMD64 as "x64", then "x64" is a name of that thing, literally. Whether it's correct or not is a matter of convention and popularity, and your proposed convention is quite unpopular, I'd say.
sheesh i thought my reply was a bit short lol
