It's definitely not the system I would build. There are certainly valid anti-spam concerns, but I think shadowbans aren't an accessible or appropriate way to go about addressing these concerns, and, based on the anecdotes I've seen, this approach affects a number of legitimate users. Additionally, I see a lot of throwaway accounts, which doesn't inspire confidence in the system as it is.

Geez, I'm sorry dude, you are really clueless about 10x programming.

MapReduce was a revolutionary paper which allowed Google to scale using cheap hard-drives and compute instead of paying Oracle licenses. If you can't understand the impact of that paper during early days of Google to what it became, I'm flabbergasted by your L5 claim.

You are clearly a 1x, 9-5, LeetCode, TC chasing programmer and not Jeff.

I'll pay Jeff/Sanjay/Linus/Andy Rubin/Lewandosky 20x the salary I'd pay you. it's as simple as that
Some users (US users, or those willing to pay $8/mo for Twitter) are generating multiple times the average revenue per user. People in poorer countries are generating less than the average revenue per user.

On Facebook, for instance, US users bring in 5x the worldwide average revenue per user.

That is why it's only a reduction in ads. This deal reduces their revenue per user if they went ad free for those users.
Ah, so applying the parenting strategy to adults.

You also can't just add on backups indefinitely or your costs will also approach infinity given enough time. There has to be a mechanism for deleting things, be it on DVD or on object lock cloud hype.

Object locks have a configurable expiration date.

But what if that has a bug?

Again, this is yet another typical HN discussion. We are now comparing a consumer grade SSD taped to a Raspberry PI without ECC memory to a theoretical bug that might be in S3's or B2's object lock implementation. They have stored petabytes of data and there are virtually no reports of data loss ever, nor has anyone bypassed object lock, even if it's a high-value target.

I find apps almost always preferable. Not only do I get dedicated backup, the apps are usually better for mobile UX. Of course, that excludes crappy apps like Reddit’s, in those cases there are often 3rd-party-apps.

That's a profoundly stupid idea. There are low code solutions that generate fully compilable pieces of programs and applications, so let's make sure we ban those.

Plenty of music is procedurally generated so we gotta make sure we ban those as well.
Fundamentally the BEAM is very opinionated with a limited range of possible language designs that would work with it. No mutability, e.g.

I love the opinionated, constrained nature of Erlang and the BEAM, vs the kitchen sink approach of Java and the JVM.

> An iPhone 14 enables you to take technically superior photos to the photos that professional photographers were taking only a couple of decades ago.

I really don’t agree, and honestly it depends on what categories you’re judging it on.

Film cameras from 20 years ago probably have better dynamic range than your phone. They probably have comparable resolution. You have a lot of options with lenses, so you can get lots of different looks.

Full frame size lets in lots of light. Photography is all about light - no amount of processing is going to make up for the size of a sensor on an iPhone. Let’s not even bring medium format into the discussion.

Hell, I’d say they could take photos that were technically superior to iphones over 100 years ago with tintypes and such. (Film was actually lower resolution than what came before it. ) There are lots of stunning portraiture, with a lot of clarity, from the start of photography that would be impossible to replicate with modern cameras.

To head off any uncertainty, the code of conduct we ask participants to agree to is nearly identical to the Rust Code of Conduct: https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/code-of-conduct

I have found that all it takes for one remain on the right side of such a code is to have good will in one's heart towards other humans. We have hundreds of participants, a lot of lively and thoughtful discussion on a range of topics, and not a single user has been found in violation of the code of conduct to date.
What's profoundly stupid is to assume every piece of technology is good so we should do nothing about its proliferation.
Yes, we should ban low-code tools based on deep learning over "fairly used" (not) datasets and we should ban the same for music, writing, whatever.
AI bros can go cry in the corner, I don't care.
What a load of nonsense. The last 40 years has made the barrier of entry to software development lower than it's ever been.

We got applications like unity for game generation, low code solutions that let you generate a crud dashboard for a database in a few clicks, etc.

As a developer with an actual degree in comp sci, I can guarantee I'd be a helluva lot better paid if everyone had to do their software development in low level C.

No, unless you're defining value in some very strange way.

No, I'm saying we should be aware that money and value are not the same thing and our policy decisions should reflect that.

As a "we authenticate everything" company, it's important for Auth0 to make it deadass simple for somebody to pay Auth0 (or Okta) to manage VCs. I think the idea is some company like CLEAR provides the authentication, and Auth0/Okta provides the authorization. You go to buy a beer or check into a hotel, Auth0 contacts your Issuer for verification of your CredentialType, validates the credential, returns to the vendor that you're really you, and you get the thing you want.

It's a nice idea. But their "Try it out!" link (https://manage.auth0lab.com/) just returns "Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG" for me (is it just me?)

The Pogson system was constrained by the compatibility with the legacy star classification.

The stars had already been described for millennia as being stars of the 1st magnitude, 2nd magnitude and so on, from the brightest to the less bright.

Pogson has chosen both the logarithmic base and the sign of the magnitude which makes higher number less bright, so that the magnitudes computed by his formula will match approximately the already existing classification of the stars.

It was fortunate that the simple rule that a difference of 5 in magnitudes corresponds to a brightness ratio of 100 gave a formula which produced magnitude values that, when rounded to integers, matched in many cases the traditional magnitudes of the stars.
I've been using Elixir since almost the beginning and my impression is that Elixir is bigger and better than ever. When I started using Elixir, there was only one local start-up using it in my area. Now, I can walk to at least seven companies with over 100 employees that build their products in Elixir. There are also many smaller companies and start-ups using it.

Maybe Elixir isn't as ubiquitous in other areas, but where I live, I'll be able to retire as an Elixir engineer, which is awesome since it is hands-down the best language I've ever used.

For comparison, I've coded in Erlang, Java, C#, C, C++, Scala, Clojure, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Perl, F#, Node, Go, Lisp, Elm, Scheme, PHP, Dart, Swift, Objective C, Groovy, Pascal, D, Cobol, Assembly, and CoffeeScript. I think that's all of them anyway.

If you're interested in Elixir, learn it. I'll hire you if you're good and I have any openings.
Yet every time C comes up in a discussion here, someone will insist that it’s fine, that only bad programmers make mistakes.

I don’t know Rust, and I love C, but we’re well past the point where one can reasonably argue that careful use of C is good enough.
The boy who cried wolf. And I've seen this with far, far too many other vulnerabilities. It's more of a pattern than not, unfortunately:

- giving the vulnerability a cutesie name "emacsmash" or "shellblast", etc.

- setting the bug to CRITICAL (always in all caps) due to a hypothetical, but unlikely or impractical use case:

if emacs lisp is configured to provide cgi-bin services to unauthenticated users, and arbitrary user input fields are not properly sanitized, mismatched quasi-quoted macro invocations in user provided data may allow a remote attacker to read arbitrary files on the host system with the permissions of the webserver process, if the default locale is Estonian.

- setting the bug to CRITICAL when the vulnerability is of the nature "and water is wet":

if inputs to rm -fr command are provided by an untrusted process without proper sanitization, any files and directories accessible by that process owner may be deleted.

Or:

if a webservice running in a language that provides a data-structure or algorithm that is inherently O(N^m) or O(k^N) and is fed user data of an arbitrary size, a D.O.S. attack can be mounted with polynomial or exponential effect.

- panicking over a very impressive theoretical, probably sensationalized, but highly impractical, attack:

an attacker using $50 worth of CB-radio equipment has been shown able to read individual keystrokes from 1000ft way using side-band demodulation of the beat pattern between 9600 baud serial terminal and the 24.8832Mhz reference oscillator, excepting of course when there are any other devices nearby that generate in-band noise.

Well most of us don't use emacs as a internet facing bastion and don't expect rm -fr to be safe for anyone except the process owner and have ~237 unknowable internet-of-crap devices on their WiFi (as do their other 18 neighbors within 1000ft) and do not care if you can read their vt100's.

Security stuff is highly context dependent and distilling it down to "HIGH", "MEDIUM", "LOW", etc. is terrible. And it saps effort and energy reacting to things that are real but not applicable 90-99% of the time.
I wish :(

When the json thing came out I think it was late night Thursday on HN. I’d checked and patched our applicable servers on Friday and carried on

The panic set in over the weekend as managers decided to issue major panic stations, bronze and silver bridge calls, etc - after it had reached the more general press.

Told them to f-off, public facing servers had been automatically patched, most of the rest manually done and triaged.

I see what this app is about but at the same time it enforces information overload which is an instant turn off for me. What'll happen if I were to use it: I'll pile up more and more stuff I'm interested into, I'll receive news about all things I've subscribed to and eventually I'll get annoyed from the "spam". Then I'll unsubscribe realizing that information overload can't be handled with apps, I have to solve that problem in my head. In the mean time Obsidian does the job for me if I'm really really interested in something - I write it down and it's still not 100% that I'll come back to it later. That's a no go for me with all the apps that are used to create a "personal encyclopedia". Engineering wise I can't say anything but good about the app. Keep it up someone might see things in a completly different way that me, there still might be a big market for this.
I like how you get stuck in the middle forever.
Probably at the same time it will be available on the PlayStation and Switch.

Which is maybe never as this law mostly targets critical computing devices like smartphones since you need those in the modern world for almost everything important like payments, transactions, tickets, transportation, navigation, government interactions and national emergency notifications, etc.

Since I haven't seen anyone paying their bus ticket with a Nintendo Switch or filing their taxes from a PlayStation, I guess they're exempt. They're just entertainment devices without cellular connectivity.

And as a sidenote, X-Box already lets you sideload your own apps in sandbox mode so I guess Microsoft can claim the X-Box is compliant.
Ah right. And women still can't vote and Jim Crow laws are still in full swing. Because if somebody would take a stand it would be meaningless, right?

I never justified it because that quote is nowhere in my comment.

Regardless, it’s not as “stupid” as you claim. How many social networks have added a premium tier for non commercial users, while degrading the quality of the free tier and been successful?

Closest I can think of are dating apps, which have a unique driver behind them that Twitter doesn’t have.
If you knew anything about software development and had actually used copilot you'd know this is a specious argument.

I have roughly a hundred git repos. Do I care if somebody based an AI autocomplete off my code? Not even a little bit, I've never given a shit if somebody steals bits and pieces of my code because that's like if I lifted a few paragraphs out of a book somebody wrote, who cares if the book that I'm producing is fundamentally different?
agree with this - duplication of effort, but not duplication of approach or method, which means actually it becomes a giant A/B test, which hopefully means faster progress for humanity as a whole.

Indigenous Americans survived using this method longer than capitalism has been around. Then there was a genocide.

Pre Hanseatic league Europe likewise had evolutions of non improvident markets stretching for hundreds of years, when capitalism took over.

Ujaama was attempted to be started up right before a brutal oil crisis, and Western attitudes towards a successful and progressive Africa were hardly complementary.

Spanish independents faced Stalin literally marching on them. No tiny state can survive one of the world powers deciding you are done.

None of these failed due to their governments, and many existed for much, much longer than capitalism has.

Besides, my assertion was that other models were possible, and I think I've demonstrated that yes, such models have successfully existed for decades or centuries.

> For super low light shots for example, the iPhone will take hundreds of exposures and merge them. If you were going to save this all as RAW, it's multiple gigabytes of data per frame.

A bit of a digression but the reason why phones need so many exposures to get a decent low light image is due to their sensors/optics being relatively poor at low light. You would only need a small fraction of the exposures from a modern pro-grade camera to generate a comparable final image. This also lets you capture objects in motion in low light far, far better since you can get your required image data in a smaller temporal window.

Their problem is trying to automate everything. If I have to deal with obvious shit leaning on X vs Y style queries, and I have to deal with it for a year or more, it's because they're bad, not because the scale has outgrown them.
> Thought the same thing. How do you prove top me as the user that I'm seeing "half as many ads" now that I'm paying $8? No ads is easy. They are there or they aren't.
