I talked to Pave last year and bowed out after hearing how they do business. Their business model and their techniques could have changed since I last talked to them.

At the time, customer companies give all their compensation data to Pave, including employee names, and then they use that to create compensation data across the list of their customers and share it. They were targeting startups, but I don't know if they have expanded since.

If I remember correctly, because they have your name, they also scrape LinkedIn data about you and try to get as much information about you as possible like job titles, etc. I wasn't comfortable with this so I bowed out. I'm not sure how much control employees have to prevent this sharing to Pave, because I would not want my entire salary history to be shared with prospective employers so that they could definitively say "Well, this person got paid X in their previous position, we shouldn't pay more than 5% above that."

They may have changed their data policy, like I mentioned I haven't talked to them since last year.

That sounds right. Apparently they've innovated a new wave and soon I won't have to save my files as "C://Dropbox/SourceCode(2).mathematica" anymore.
Sure - but I believe it was due to a change in a language detail. I was just commenting that its not intended to be a particularly stable target quite yet.

Entering a PIN is known as "user verification." The point is to prove not just that you posses the key but also that you know a secret about the key. This is better than passwords for a number of reasons. The pin doesn't need to be secure in the way that passwords need to be secure. The pin is only sent between your browser and your FIDO2 device. If you some how learned my pin you couldn't do anything with that unless you also stole my yubikey. And you can't brute force the pin. Guess the wrong pin more than 10 times on my yubikey and the key will erase itself.

Pins make a lot of sense when you start using a yubikey as your primary form of authentication (instead of as a second factor). Note that there are other ways to perform 'user verification' besides a pin. For example, biometrics are specified in the FIDO2 spec, and implemented by yubikey in their Yubikey Bio product.
I've seen tee used for that, but I myself stick to dd (out of habbit or because I belong to said cult).

I have plenty of cases with yaml where I care about the formatting of the serialized output. I have to use obscure hooks into pyyaml's inner workings to tweak things just right. In some cases, I end up having to do some of the serialization myself. While technically it doesn't matter because it's all equivalent once in memory, there are externalized costs once you're integrated into a large system. The whole point of using something like yaml or toml is to be human friendly.
In fact being a master shipbuilder in 1612 was very similar to being a master software architect in 2022.
well there is a populist push to get rid of contractors (California AB5, other states, Biden's plan), kind of ignoring that there are high earners running their own plans intentionally as opposed to someone relying on employer health insurance and paid leave

but fortunately I think that push is ignoring when an individual applies for the role as a single member LLC or other incorporated entity they control
> PGP has a web-of-trust aspect, allowing people to trust people

Must be great for the 5 people on the planet that maintain a personal web of trust with PGP while the rest of us just run whatever "curl|gpg --import" command the download page tells us to run, thus adding zero security on top of https.
though that's just society functioning, not mass-predation of young people convincing them to completely cut off organs
> I wonder of Netflix could have done anything to keep being so far ahead and offer content from so many other companies, or was it always doomed to last just a few years before everyone and their grandma started a streaming service.

It was always doomed. There's only so far you can go with streaming services from a tech POV. Once you have a system that's fairly reliable at delivering the content, it's the content that matters, not the tech.
This might be useful to you: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/
The answer seems to be caching (https://turbo.build/pack/docs/core-concepts), lots and lots of caching. Which enables it to reuse a lot of already computed stuff for incremental rebuilds.
If we go by co2, the guess is that something between 1,000 - 1,500 ppm is required to tip us into a greenhouse phase.

Our current levels are well under 500 ppm.

Humanity will have to work very hard to force the planet out of its current icehouse.

We are definitely having an impact, and could well drive ourselves extinct, but I still see us as unable to implement drastic change, especially as some extinction events have required thousands of years to come to pass.
Yup, they prioritise on-platform engagements.
I hear that KSP makes a huge difference, as you call out. Not an easy task to get rid of kapt, though, so - good luck! And again, congrats. :)

Disclaimer: Not a Zig fan.

I think Zig is getting too much hype. It's unfortunate because Zig could have potential, but hyping something before it's ready is a recipe for alienating early adopters and killing progress towards popularity.

The worst part of it is that I've heard people say that they've got Zig in production; with all of the bugs in the compiler, they are apt to get burned, and too many burns will lead to putting out the fire and rewriting.

It doesn't help that (in my opinion) there is confusion regarding basic things about Zig. [1]

Almost all permanent employment contracts for professional positions in the UK have a “mutuality of obligation” clause which forbids the employee from working for another company at the same time.

Contractors usually don’t have this, which is why it’s perfectly legal for them to run two or three concurrent gigs, but when I’ve engaged a a “full time” contractor who is doing this, their performance - the amount they get done vs what is expected given their day rate - is terrible.
> Or their perpetual streaming rights.

You say this as if these rights were ever available for purchase. The studios are not dumb. They had the luxury of seeing what happened to the music industry. It was obvious that with the success of Netflix that streaming was the way forward. They also realized they were no where near capable of doing it on their own. When Netflix was first starting the streaming side, studios were still in the process of converting film assets into clean digital video. Streaming wasn't even a thought yet. However, monetize what you already have on the platform available now, and then do you're own thing later to keep all the profits.

Being the first is always harder than being the next as the trail has already be blazed for you. Studios had the blue print laid out by Netflix, but not all of them are as competent, and those issues show from app to app.
Bezel-less design is such a dumb status symbol, up there with glass backs and other UX fails for pointless aesthetics.
Slow to evolve and long-term backwards compatibility are selling points.
AirDrop – how is a 50% success rate remotely acceptable?
And my personal favourite – macOS carries over the input language from an app to another, which makes no sense at all and is frustrating me for 17 years now
Thanks, I don’t mind your comment at all, it is true that between the military industrial complex, Wall Street, etc. it is a lock for the two parties.
I think it might be a potential question mark if an older engineer habitually spends a short amount of time within companies as there's a possibility that they're harder to get along with or tend to frequently move on before technical debt mounts up. If somebody gets to their mid-late 30s without staying somewhere at least a few years, I'd anticipate them bouncing similarly.

That said, I hate the use of the word "commitment" here. If a company hits a rough financial patch, they'll dump the most loyal and committed employee in the blink of an eye to make life easier on themselves. It doesn't matter if you just bought a house or your wife is due for a baby or your kid is suffering from cancer: you're expendable 100% of the time. Tough to use words like commitment or loyalty in that environment.
Also, I was unfamiliar with the 530 status code; turns out it's unofficial and somewhat arbitrary:

Personally, I'd prefer frictionless fragmentation to centralization. I'm never going to subscribe to Paramount+ (or Whatever+) to see one or two shows I'm interested in, but I'd gladly pay $3-5 to stream a season of Star Trek: Discovery. If there's also a Paramount+ bundle that includes all of their original and licensed content, that's fine too.
Vasa wasn't named after the royal house, it was named after the vase[0] on the heraldic symbol for the house of Vasa[1]. A vase is probably best described as a fasces. Äpplet was probably named after a globus cruciger[2], or "national apple" (riksäpple), part of the regalia of Sweden.

This has absolutely zero to do about the Memex. Unless you think printed books and the modern web are the same as the Memex. Which they're not. Just a hipster wanting you to know he's read an article by Vannevar Bush.
ON e photo shows what looks like a radio spectrum, which I'm guessing came from the optional 4G LTE modem. It would be great if that modem could be used as a generic SDR, putting programmable sniffing capabilities in a small portable device.
interesting how much of this is glue -- like if mobile had better support for inter-app handoff, these flows could be entirely delegated to external provider's app (paypal, venmo, support saas)

(though hard to generalize to other parts of the app, bc payments is inherently glue-y)

constantly wonder what kind of support layer would make UX integration user-friendly, but also developer-friendly
Probably not, because Netflix content leadership sucks.

But the Discovery boss recently claimed he wants more "comfort" programming than "destination tv", and that's a horrible sign. It signals they're leaning into more Honey Boo Boo and Ice Road Truckers-type content instead of Game of Thrones, Euphoria, Silicon Valley because it's cheaper to make.
At first I thought the website was having trouble loading the content, so I refreshed the page.
Very excited for this if the configuration and behavior is 1:1 with Webpack. The primary reason I haven't moved to other "more efficient" build tools is having to learn how to do various optimizations and getting the artifacts I expect.
The specification is fully open and most of the components have already been implemented in various open source libraries. The nice thing about passkeys is that they are just a FIDO2 implementation with a few extensions. That means any site that supports passkeys will also support other FIDO2 implementations, including the existing open source FIDO2 projects.
Universities are always several years behind the curve. At college in the 90s they were still teaching token ring networking despite Ethernet already being common place. The same college told me that programmers didn’t design any of the code they write; they only transcribe code from flow charts.

Just yesterday I was talking to a grad about DevOps. He said the field sounded boring from what he was taught at uni. Then when we discussed it more it turned out his “DevOps” course was actually just teaching them how to be a scrum master and didn’t include a single thing about automation, infrastructure as code, etc.

I also remember just how garbage general publications were with regards to IT. And to be fair they still are now. But there was always a wealth of better information in specialist publications as well as online (particularly by the late 90s).
Honestly I don't see anything in the chapter and verse that supports your argument. It says that the constructor has a precondition that [s, s+traits::length(s)) is a valid range, which throws just a little uncertainty over the question without resolving it. It seems easy to create a range that is not valid (consider a very large starting position s, for example).
> As far as I can tell, humans can't survive for extended periods of time in gravity as low as it is on Mars.

Our only datapoints for long-term human activity are "Earth gravity" and "complete freefall". This is one of the things I hope we can answer in the near-term with manned lunar missions.

> Given that we can't figure out how to build subterranean cities at scale on earth

We know perfectly well how to build subterranean cities at scale on Earth. We don't, because it's expensive and because people tend to like having windows for natural light and fresh air. It'd be cheaper on a smaller planet like Mars (less gravity to fight against), and it ain't like there'd be a possibility of natural light or fresh air anyway given the radiation and unbreathable atmosphere.

> Honestly, a self sustaining space station seems easier to achieve than a self sustaining Mars base

You'd have the same radiation problem if not worse (and no "underground" to shield you from it; "park it behind a celestial body" doesn't really work, either, when you have cosmic rays coming from all directions - said cosmic rays being the dominant form of space radiation), but other than that, yes, space stations are more practical - and you can build 'em anywhere, not just Mars.

You could also build such a spinning structure on an airless body like the Moon or Ceres. Ceres is in fact pretty close to ideal as far as human colonization goes: low gravity (so it's easy to build there and easy to leave for other destinations), close proximity to the rest of the asteroid belt (so lots of opportunities for space mining), and it's pretty much a giant ball of water ice and hydrocarbons so we'd have everything we need (at least on a fundamental chemical level) for air, food, and water alike.
Unironically, food and fuel aren't including in US inflation numbers. Because reasons.
This now has really started to feel like the last days of Rome.
Would you suggest some?
It is still in alpha, I am guessing a lot of backward compatibility might still be added to it before the stable release.

And the article exclusively testing it against just Next.js build could be an indicator as of how optimized it is for the meta framework probably?
That might be a part of it, but it is a translated joke - so the double entendre of “dirty” may not be intentional
Got a similar message on Digital Ocean for their App Platform/static pages, does DO use Cloudflare underneath?
There are yubikeys with biometric readers.

The reason they are referred to as PINs rather than passwords is that they are locally set and entered, without being shared with external network systems. Since they are being used to augment the physical security properties of the hardware device, the PIN can also be far simpler than a typical password - someone has to steal your hardware before they can contemplate forcing the PIN.

This additional user verification over the physical factor is used for two purposes:

1. The site can request user verification as part of accepting this system as a one-stop replacement for their current two-factor authentication systems.

2. Enumerating what credentials are on a key is often PIN-protected, so that someone who has temporary access to your security key (such as at a border checkpoint) can't inspect which sites you have logins against without your knowledge/consent.

This second one is the more annoying of the two - I might have the system request my PIN just so it can tell whether that particular security key is a viable source of credentials for a particular site.
Nah, those were different times when bits and bytes mattered. Everything was written in assembly/,machine code. Mel's tricks were just how things were done back then. There was no repo, code didn't need to be maintained or added onto. The lifecycle of software was much much shorter.

Another similar tangent: Rambo got his name from the Rambo apple, which in turn got its name from Peter Gunnarsson Ramberg who took the name from Ramberget in Gothenburg.
I am glad you posted here! I stumbled across the print edition at my local BN, thought it would make a great gift subscription for someone I know, went home to the website to order one, but I couldn’t quite figure out how to confirm that there was going to ever be a new issue (I think the one at BN was the 4th), or any related info that looked “current.” Actually, I couldn’t even find evidence that the 4th issue existed I don’t think! Haha But now that I know there will be more, I can order one.
Words can't just mean what anybody wants, whenever they want. Otherwise communication becomes impossible.

Define roguelike. You tell me what you think it means, and we will see if that definition is applied with consistency.

> Just like how "literally" means "figuratively" in some contexts. You might feel that's wrong, but fundamentally the language is being used that way.

Congratulations, you have discovered sarcasm. The meaning of literally is not different because people employ sarcasm. It means that they are being sarcastic. You literally can't be sarcastic if a word like "literally" doesn't have an agreed upon meaning.

>The same zillion people will see your short summary and the link to your blog on Twitter.

No, that isn't what happens and the author of this thread's article makes the same mistake when he writes:

> do not use Twitter. Your ideas, your findings, your knowledge deserve better. Put your thoughts on your own website or blog, and share it with the World using whatever social network you see fit.

Agree that Twitter is terrible reading experience for long form text but the advice given above (by many complainers) misses a crucial issue: tweets with just a link to a blog article has less engagement and that's a penalty writers don't want pay.

Netflix couldn’t afford WB or NBC without slowing down the rest of their content production. A lot of the content they would’ve gotten doesn’t work well on streaming, as Warner is finding out. Spending time and money on a major network would’ve put them behind, and scared all their competitors early. By not weighing themselves down, they were able to build their massive library.

Netflix tried hard to get the LotR rights. Just about every major streamer did.

Building critically acclaimed cinematic universes is something everyone struggles with, except maybe Disney.
Truth! I do homebrew on my N2DSXL and the developer tooling there is fantastic [0]. Same with NES and even older handhelds like the DMG-001.

The nice thing about the Steam Deck though is that you can carry around your development environment on the same machine. You still have to cross-compile to reach the 3DS and such.

> I think a more accurate analogy would be like driving a car frozen with the safety features from the year 2010. Millions of people do this.

I don't think it's any more accurate really, because whilst newer cars can said to be safer with more recent features, there's nothing that can compromise a 2010 crash structure or airbag without you noticing. The same cannot be said for internet connected machines.
I disagree, business that fire people "to make a statement" don't last. And it seems OP is just good at what he does, hence he will always have more work.

My opinion is that the company likes having OP in a desperate state because in doing so he won't have enough time to look for a job elsewhere.

Ask HN: Where to sell high margin, six figure rev business growing 20-30% YoY?
This business has a perfect domain for its industry (think onions.com for an onion seller) and is outgrowing the underlying 4B USD industry by a 4-5x rate, while maintaining 40-50% margins. The product is a physical good and the business has maintained high sales despite the current macroeconomic situation.

Founder is interested in selling but mainly for liquidity reasons - they would love to stay on and keep growing the firm.

Any suggestions for sites (we’ve tried the basic ones like MicroAcquire) where we could sell to someone who has experience in e-commerce or startups more broadly?
If your biology is highly tuned to an unusual sleeping schedule that doesn't mesh with society's norm, perhaps you should try and design your life accordingly by doing things like seeking out jobs that have flexible schedules and looking for a house with an isolated home office so you can go and be productive without bothering a significant other.
Building your own distro or "partnering" with a specific distro is just about the opposite of what I would want to see.
