This is just cultural norms at work. I guess you can see this as "alcoholics normalizing their behavior" if you think everyone who drinks is an alcoholic. I get similar comments when I say I don't like chocolate. My son gets flak (including from me!) because he doesn't eat pizza.

If you lived in a teetotaler culture, you would experience exactly the opposite (strange looks/comments for drinking a beer), or possibly worse (since many teetotaler cultures see drinking as a punishable offense).
Yeah that seems odd to me. Chlorophyll largely doesn't do anything with 500-600nm wavelengths, and that's where this LED outputs a lot of energy. If this was a bulb that could switch between red and green that might be useful for dealing with day/night cycles for plants, but this LED seems like it just outputs more green light than normal?
Considering the entire open source pentesting community almost exclusively uses GitHub to host their projects: no. There is actual malware being hosted on GitHub, with the caveat that malware and pentest tools or proof of concept exploits are sometimes indistinguishable.

GitHub announced a few years ago that they would crack down on malware and were about to introduce some very strict T&C. After a huge backlash from the pentesters (justified in my opinion), they backpedaled a little bit. Hosting pentesting tools is fine, using GitHub as your C2 server or to to deliver malware in actual attacks is not.

And then every time there's a vulnerability in the kernel implementation, we need a kernel patch (something that often takes longer to test and release than an update to a userland library) and a reboot. Updating OpenSSL just requires restarting daemons that use it.

At any rate, I don't see why you think that tying TLS to the kernel is required to improve the security posture. OpenSSL can remain a library, and the same companies that fund the Linux kernel can fund OpenSSL. Hell, the people who maintain the existing crypto functionality in the kernel can work on OpenSSL if they so choose.

Then there's the matter of adoption: the main reason that LibreSSL has failed on Linux is because developers don't seem to want to move to it in their applications, despite it having very few differences from OpenSSL. What makes you think developers will adopt a completely different Linux-specific API that doesn't work on any other OS?

Go does not force CSP-style concurrency. There's a lot of Go code that uses shared memory with concurrent tasks, even leading to possibe data races and violations of memory safety. (In fact, purely sequential Go is memory safe.)

> .NET doesn’t seem to have a lot of traction

I feel like I'm shilling for C# in this thread (a handful of replies so far) so apologies, but I'm genuinely not being partisan here as I'm a dev using both Go and C# daily.

However if you think .NET doesn't have traction I can only assume you are excluding virtually the entire enterprise in favour of start-ups and pure-tech firms. For the second group you may be right. For the first group Go is (relatively speaking) absolutely nowhere in comparison to .NET, which has for years had the enterprise virtually sewn up alongside Java.

Outside of enterprise I agree you're probably right, which is a shame as it is approximately the equal of Go in most areas, worse in some and better in others.

People think that federation like this is great but what ends up happening is that either the instance you create your account on goes down and you lose your account, or the instances that you communicate with go down and you lose the context.

> The same can be said for dentists or architects or chemical engineers or whatever.

- Dentists have dental hygienists that do the day-to-day grunt work so that dentists can focus on the real problems/exceptional cases (cavities, root canals, etc).

- Architects build the plans, but they leave it to construction workers to actually construct the project.

- Chemical engineers generally work with staffs of chemists and other roles that the take the engineered solution and apply it day-to-day.

Right now, software uses the same job titles "for everything". There's (perhaps intentionally) no differentiation between the people expected to solve the hard problems/engineer the tough solutions and the people hired to plug-and-chug their way through their 15th yet-another-CRUD-app that year. There are complaints in the surrounding threads even that some of the "drone work" pays better salaries and has better hours/corporate cultures than the harder stuff. It's an interesting "upside down" situation compared to even just the three fields specifically referenced here.

I went to an engineering school with the expectation that I would be doing software engineering not just in name but in role, but most of the jobs I've ever worked were paying me to do not that. I certainly know friends who are chemical engineers that also perform the role of chemists for their companies, but those are clearly distinct enough job descriptions with a big enough salary distance that those companies know that any hours my friends put in as chemists rather than their hired job is over-paying those hour rates by a considerable enough amount that they have reason to hire cheaper chemists. I have never seen a software job consider that they may be hugely over-paying a software engineer to do "software development grunt work". Without truly separate job titles and salary considerations that is forever going to be opaque to the accountants at companies.

Long story short: other professions clearly delineate between jobs that are (creative) problem solving and jobs that are more "grunt work" like Ikea-assembling CRUD apps. Why don't we?

One glass of wine, 125 ml, at 8%, is one UK unit. Half a .75l bottle of wine at 14% would be 5.25 units.

It's not unusual in the UK for people to drink half a bottle of wine each evening, and then more on the weekends.

Rust's dynamic traits are like Java or C# Interfaces.

Rust's Static traits are used like C++ templates but with more compiler checks and guidance.

In both cases, you can separate the code that implements the trait from the class itself (like a partial class). In Rust you can also retroactively declare a trait and then implement that trait for a class you like (even someone else's class, or a standard class).
This conversation doesn't seem to be about bang-for-buck. There's also a difference between strict (on-paper) hardware specs and the actual experience of using it.

That said, congressional bailouts are usually legal, and therefore hard to challenge.

One major problem is that congress prone to make legislative decisions based on corporate interests opposed to their other constituents. This is a hard problem to solve, but many people still care about it and try.

It is an election issue for many, primarily fiscal conservatives from either side of of the isle.

Another challenge is that fiscal conservatives are generally ostracized from either party. Parties draw votes along culture war.

At the end of the day, most people who object to student bailouts also object to corporate bailouts. If we could solve only one, I think most people would pick the latter, recognizing it is a bigger problem.

I doubt that's true. I haven't used C++ for many years now. I was in your boat a few years ago (C/C++ since 1990) but now 6+ years Python then Rust centric. I still think in C++ terms when writing rust, although most of the time it's "I would need 10 lines to do this 1 line of rust code were I still using C++."

I dabble in C++ occasionally as a contractor. No problem picking up the new features and making useful contributions.

C++ maps pretty directly into Rust. I found it useful to understand the underlying data representation in memory. For instance https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/repr-rust.html
The developers are avowed hard line Marxists, and they did not want contributors who did not toe the line on that.
Obviously adding the USPS API to your tool would take less time than building an AI tool. But the AI tool is infinitely more powerful for almost anything other than dealing with addresses.

So the question isn't which one you can add to your tool faster. The question is, if I already have this AI tool setup, is it worth setting up the USPS API to go from 95% accuracy to 99.9% accuracy. For countless applications, it wouldn't be. Obviously if you need to scale and need to ensure accuracy, it's a different story.

Ask HN: Any hardware folks want to help make a next-gen souped up Walkie Talkie?
Been thinking about this idea since I went on a road trip & houseboating with some friends. We bought some walkie talkies to talk to each other, and I had a eureka moment about how much better it was using them than having to pick up the phone, unlock it, go to contacts, find your friend, call them, wait for the answer, say two things, hang up, repeat that again in 2 minutes to say something else.

I've kind of had it on the backburner, but this recent HN post had me thinking maybe there is something there. The first minute of every phone call is torture now (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33409109)

I havn't done much validation of the product besides personal experience and browsing Tiktok. This video of some girls in College using cheap walkie talkies at a bar went viral with people wanting to try it as well: https://www.tiktok.com/@hotmessexpress3155/video/7118519163416497450?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7118519163416497450&lang=en. It got 1 million likes. There are many more videos too.

I'm thinking we take the idea of walkie talkies to the next level:

1. Use something like this: https://www.ditto.live. Have it work with radio frequency, but also have bluetooth, wifi, etc ability.

2. P2P ability. If not able to reach, it can forward what needs to be forwarded with other devices in the network (possible?)

3. Ability to store and replay messages if not by the phone or in silent mode

4. Easier to use than existing walkie talkies

5. Ability to vibrate if getting a message

6. Other features?

Whats different with it than a phone? It's a small, lightweight fun to use device built for instant communication with the people you care to talk to.

I honestly don't know much about the tech in walkie talkies, but I just feel like there hasn't been much innovation in this space.

This ruling is frustrating (to say the least) in the short term, but overall I think this ruling going to tremendously backfire in NIMBY's faces. This judge just unintentionally put the state's spotlight on CEQA -- previously, the dearth of housing laws passed this year were careful to navigate within its framework without attempting to change it.

Newsom has demonstrated he takes housing starts seriously (Really! The fact that virtually every commercial lot is now zoned for ministerial housing approval statewide, abolishing parking minimums statewide, passing SB9 to allow 2-4plexes on single family parcels statewide, and passing SB10 to exempt apartments of less than 10 units from CEQA, and directing the housing authority to decertify rich cities' zoning codes that flout RHNA housing obligations like Santa Monica is huge) and I don't expect him to let up.

> State housing laws, she ruled, do not apply to a project until after a city “certifies” the project’s environmental review.

> Although CEQA puts a one-year limit on environmental review, the court held that this deadline is just advisory

If these rulings stand, you can absolutely bet that CA state housing laws in 2023 will now turn their focus toward CEQA. At a minimum, expect that "advisory" deadline to be formalized, shortened, and certification expedited or even exempted if the project falls within certain categories. Bike and bus lanes were just exempted from CEQA this session, and I absolutely imagine housing that is X% affordable will be soon, too.

In fact, really all California has to do is expand SB 330 or their 2019 Builders Remedy Law (which itself gave an existing state law from 1990 teeth) which states that developers are guaranteed ministerial approval regardless of zoning in any municipality determined to have a non-certified housing element to include expedient and ministerial CEQA approval. What would once be considered unthinkable politically a decade ago is now just a legislative hop and a skip away.
