First off, do you have a blog? This information would be great as a blog post!

I think your ideas are wonderful, and I might try to implement as many of them as possible, just for privacy reasons, even if it is impossible for me to target the EU market.

In fact, because it's a code forge, there will be a client, just like Git is a "client" for GitHub. (It will be a self-contained VCS like Fossil.) So most of what you said will work.

In fact, you are exactly correct that I need the public key for signatures on code.

But there is one hang-up. While I could let the client handle checking for code signing, I still need to store the public key.

The reason for this is because the public key will also be for account recovery. Recovery via email will also be possible, unless I can't store the email address at all. But either email or public key will be required to recover accounts.

So unless I could make it so random clients could recover accounts for other users, I need to store the public key.

If you have ideas about how to get around that, please contact me. [1] Even if not, I would love to continue talking with you about this; I want to set the standard for protecting user privacy with my code forge.

> Here is the bad part about this idea: Schrems II is actually saying that its not enough for the server/service to be in EU. If the company running the server/service is US owned, its still considered a data transfer to a US entity. So the signature verification service in EU would have to be run by someone not you/your company. And you'd ofc need to pay to use that service, no free lunch. So you'll have to consider if the value of being able to offer your product to EU customers worth the hassle and cost of this setup?

Yeah, I thought so. The biggest problem with that is that I have absolutely NO contacts in Europe that I can use. I may not even be able to travel to Europe to set something like that up. So because I only care about money enough to make what I need to in order to support my wife and me, offering my product to the EU is not worth it for the hassle and cost.

> Btw something like the above would be privacy by design, which is a core principle of GDPR and if one makes a product in that way, that would be way more compliant than 99% of all software that existed pre GPRD and slapped compliance on after GDPR was introduced.

This is encouraging, though sad since I won't be able to make it work.

To be honest, I was hoping I could make an end-to-end encrypted code forge, but I also want to support FOSS projects, which have to do their stuff in public. End-to-end encryption would only work in that case if everyone had the client on their machine, which would not be likely for a VCS; there will be people that just want to download the code from the browser without needing an extra program to do so.

Again, I'd love to chat even more. Please contact me if you feel like doing so.

I mean you can check with this tool[1] I discovered while wondering for myself. I gave up halfway through though.

These frauds can continue so long as they can continue to grow or at least maintain a steady state. Since they promise higher returns than can be achieved through honest means the liabilities grow faster than assets over time, but so long as nobody tries to realize their gains it's fine.

FTX only came down because they pissed off the Binance guy who dumped his position all at once and exposed the fraud. I'm dubious Tether could survive a similar attack. I also think that at least some people investing in these are completely aware of the situation and are ok with it because it means they can beat the market so long as they get out before the whole thing suddenly collapses. Basically playing financial chicken.

If they made a mistake like hitting the wrong address, they sometimes will. Even then, it generally requires getting a lawyer as they typically won't offer to pay up. If it was the right address but you were innocent, they generally don't.

How is even possible to retract a loan guarantee? I doubt that's possible in other countries
Why does it inherently lead to hedonistic pursuits, that's a bit of an oversimplification.

Minimizing work and maximizing income (aka minmaxing) is what you should do as the employee in the equation, just as the employer will try their best to set up a contract where and they maximize your work while minimizing your income, to do otherwise is just blind naïveté.

And for some of us less hours spent on the job means more hours we can spend on the cultivation of hobbies, physical health and overall improving ourselves. Working as a software engineer is but a small facet of who I am.
> There would be a buyer willing to absorb all of it at some level, but it's likely at a level far lower than the current market cap.

For crypto, no one would want to buy the entirety of bitcoin, because it basically has no value if it isn't traded, so it's effectively worth $0 if someone owns all of it.

For companies, this isn't necessarily true. When acquisitions happen, the current market cap is usually the floor, not the ceiling. I agree with your overall point though.
One more nit-pick: the screen is polarised the wrong way. You can't see anything when wearing polarised sunglasses (those are always oriented so they filter out the polarisation of water puddles).
Understatement of the year.
I really hate the language but I have to say Python does at least look quite nice.
It's rough on iOS Safari, too, with annoyingly unpredictable behavior and elements jumping around seemingly at random.

I'm sure it's very nice in Chrome!
It's also a searing indictment of Linux. I get less than half the battery life on my Alienware AMD laptop under Linux than under Windows. I don't know what Linux is doing wrong here, but it is not energy efficient.
The mining reward is not supposed to be the end state of the system. It is a subsidy, reducing over time, to get the system established.

Once established, the idea is that transaction fees are used and the distributed nature of the network causes a natural competition to be the most efficient so miners can charge the lowest fees while making a profit.
Are you a webdev? Cus I have been purely a game dev my whole career. I never wrote a single web-app until very recently when I learned some web frameworks to make simple backends for hobby projects of mine in my spare time.. I was kinda shocked how much boilerplate there is and how proscriptive the web frameworks are (I have done some node.js and asp.net) Also for non typed or compiled langauges like javascript the IDE support and autocomplete seems almost non-existent compared to what I am used to. I would imagine something like autopilot would be more useful in that context.
How Matter is making the smart home less stressful
I saw there was some (unofficial) package for Emacs, reusing some vim Copilot integration. Anyone here tried Emacs+Copilot yet? Is it working fine? Out of curiosity I'd like to try it and, who knows...

Also: does Copilot work for Clojure and is it any useful for Clojure?
You are correct but you are missing that TM is doing this in collaboration with the promoters and artists, which of course means sharing the profits with them too.Example, The Black Keyes told TM to invalidate secondary market tickets to one of its.shows.

One very large NOR gate. But unlike XOR, an n-bit NOR or NAND is just 2n transistors in CMOS (at least in theory).
“I secretly wish I had been one of the ones who was laid off”
These assisted coding systems are tremendously exciting but they are only the analogue of moving from a shovel to a powered excavator; it still needs a trained individual who knows what the final result needs to look like to a fairly high technical level to be effective. So, yes, 25-50 years from now humans will still be be the principal element in writing software.
Because if heat storage would be making sense, it would be implemented. Iy is not, because it is not working.
Yep, ahaha - creating an ecosystem is a massive undertaking but an interesting topic to dive into.

Agreed - I like the aspect of trying to distance ourselves from the existing paradigms and modularizing the world. It'd be insanely awesome to have a common space to share these creations - I guess GitHub is one of the ways to do this but stuff definitely isn't as cohesive as you'd want it to be, in that each solution isn't meant to easily work with others. App-specific extension stores get closer to this vision but are limited to a specific application.

This gets me thinking about whether it'd make sense for software to have more standardization, in the same vein as ISO standards but with a focus around interoperability between such modules? However, standardization also brings a lot of drawbacks, as we've seen with ISO or ECMA's committees where bureaucracy blocks innovation, hence I'd be both excited and wary about authoritative universal software standards.

It's interesting to see that in the hardware space, we see the issue of interoperability being tackled more broadly due to the limitations of "needing" to be compatible with other pieces of hardware, for many use cases. Though, you always have proprietary standards within this space as well.
You do realize there is a huge distinction between having military secrets, and persecuting private citizens who report on things that are openly discoverable, right?

This tension has also been there the whole time. Leaking classified information is a crime, while propagating information that has leaked into the public domain is not. For good reason - those with deliberate access to classified information have been entrusted to keep it secret, whereas the public and the press have not.

As far as military advantage, we are made stronger by the military needing to stay ahead of the investigations of an open society. Because if private citizens can discover things from mere curiosity then foreign spy agencies most certainly can. If you care about military strength, attempts by the military to maintain superiority by lazily asserting control over civil society should concern you very much.
> Even the classic Red Delicious

You are right about the flavor profile - but Red Delicious gets its bad rap from being mealy.

Now that might be due to historical transport and storage practices during the era when Red Delicious reigned supreme, in which case it is indeed a bad rap. But for me crispness is king and I remember eating mealy red delicious apples at school lunch and hating them. I had no problems with the apples my mother bought which were all sorts of non-Red-Delicious varities.
How do you use copilot to make suggestions about refactoring existing code?

My understanding was you just give copilot stubs of code and it auto-completes.
> The GDPR doesn't allow people to start lawsuits.

it most certainly does

the national authorities should be the first avenue, but if they don't agree with you you can go after the company directly
Also my tech screen was 2 LC hards in 90 minutes. I bounced off of that hard. Their bar might generally be lower but it's not low.
> The web is, frankly, the most open and level information and business playing field in the history of the earth.

What in the world does that have to do with open standards? This is just Panglossian guilt-tripping about people who dare suggest that something about the status quo be improved; Dr. Pinker swooping in to berate us about this being the best of all possible worlds.

edit: anyway, why talk about how open the web is when we can talk about how open x86 architecture is, or how available textbooks about how electricity works are? How can you complain about open standards when everyone has electricity piped to their home that they can do anything they want with? The fairest of farities, the most opportune of opportunities...
The scrolling lags on my 2020 M1 MacBook Air. It's smooth as butter, but when it takes a few hundred milliseconds to start moving I don't feel in the slightest like I "forget I'm navigating a web page" - more like I'm driving an ICE car where the engine lags the pedal enough that I have to compensate for it.
Funny, just saw a comment a few days ago on HN advocating Gemini over Tether and I was wondering why he thought 5-8% yields weren't a scam. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33568884
Yes the problem is that instructions such as CMP, that are often at the end of a basic block, will leave around PF for later use in other basic blocks (which likely will never happen but you cannot know!).
I'd go exactly the other way around since every programming tool under the sun already knows how to deal with text.

Graphs as a projective UX for an underlying textual model sounds a bit more ... realistic. All those "graph programming" languages don't really seem practical for real projects precisely due to the lack of an ecosystem around them.
What part of the GDPR specifies that a company must remove your posts?

Sure, it's a bit weird to force them to stay up, but the GDPR is mostly about PII. You can probably have your email address, username, and contact information removed from the database, but the comments themselves are different.

I don't know much about the CCPA, but from what I've read, I don't think it covers this use case.

As for if YC needs to follow the GDPR: YC does business in the EU so they'd be foolish to ignore it. If you believe your rights are being infringed, contact your local DPA and file a complaint.
Glad this comment was here haha, I'm on an m1 ultra macbook pro (the m2s haven't shipped yet?) and it does scroll really smoothly
> All because he exploited a momentary arbitrage in Japanese Bitcoin exchanges.

Originally the story was korean exchanges; he changed to saying Japanese, presumably after too many people pointed out the korean story was impossible. (The Japanese story was also more or less impossible, they could have made a bit of money maybe even millions but not the $10+bn he claimed)
I would like to try all the apples worse than Red Delicious. I find it a bit hard to imagine something worse.
> a bunch of kids

I don't think we should refer to them as kids. It seems to absolve them of responsibility. Kids are given leniency when they do wrong. The FTX/Alameda people are adults that graduated from one of the highest ranked universities in the world. They are foolish, but not kids.

Part of me wonders if there is media narrative that wants them to be referred to as kids because powerful people don't want them to be punished as harshly.
>> Serious prison time for the executives involved would probably be more effective.

Top executives, especially well-connected ones never get prison time. Instead, you usually have Indian/Chinese scapegoats or someone equally disliked.

The entire flash crash was blamed on a lone indian man living with his parents: https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-51265169

The 2008 scandal fell upon an Arab man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kareem_Serageldin
He is notable for being the only banker in the United States to be sentenced to jail time as a result of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, a conviction resulting from mismarking bond prices to hide losses.[1][2]

If I were this guy, i'd be really really worried about now:

Side note: If you work for a shady company, and you're the only colored guy on the exec team, you are probably there for a reason, and the reason isnt good.
While I know you already know this, technically all of the flags have large prop. delay and nothing is for free. :D

Computing any of them is equal amounts of delay if you want to mux/select any of them to output, and then on top of that you have to sequentially NOR-chain (and/or some hierarchical manner) the result for zero, and waiting on the adder carry chain for the carry flag. If you were sequentially (and/or some hierarchical manner) XOR-chaining for parity in parallel, is it really that much more delay? Especially if XOR uses domino logic etc.

I see a parity in the same realm as the adder carry chain as far as prop. delay goes (for computing sign/carry at the end.)
Of course carry chains can be made more efficiently than a direct sequential chain, but you could be hierarchical about xor-chains for parity too..
I don’t have the studies at hand but I don’t think it’s such a difficult notion to accept. For starters, there are more symbols than letters, which means you have more things to learn.

But the important thing is how symbols/words are processed. For any given concept, we might have the symbolic representation, the auditory representation and/or the pictoric representation. The good thing about words is that, even if you haven’t seen the written word before, it maps to the auditory representation (more or less depending on the language). Kanji doesn’t (in fact, the same symbol might map to different “words” and sounds) and it’s not a very precise pictoric representation either.

This is not to say that Japanese is impossible to learn or much more inefficient. Just that it makes it harder to learn and read. In a similar way other languages have traits that make them easier or harder. For example, English is harder because of the inconsistent mapping between writing and pronunciation. French is harder than other languages because of the number of vowel sounds and how important it is to make them different. Spanish is harder because of gendered nouns and the fairly complicated conjugation norms for verbs. Of course native people get used to those things, still doesn’t mean they don’t make things harder or easier.
KX Insights
I didn’t see anything about escaping values going into template literals. Did I miss it?

That seems important for anything involving user input.

Edit: Escaping rules also differ on context (HTML, attribute, URIs, script tags, etc.), so it’s not trivial.
Have you ever looked a prosecutor in the face and just said 'what the fuck, dude?' when they pull something stunning like this?
They could ship mind-reading functionality next month and I still wouldn't care if I needed to make an account to try it.
Yes, one 8-bit wide NOR gate. This is easy to implement in NMOS, basically you have a wire the width of the ALU and attach a transistor driven by each bit to pull it low.
> In many regards, certificate authorities are audited comprehensively against industry-specific audit standards. Certificate authorities also routinely get hacked. Despite this, not a single certificate authority runs a bug bounty program, and of the major CAs, only GlobalSign and Let’s Encrypt even offer a security.txt to help disclose issues. Only an annual penetration is generally required of CAs.

These feel like the wrong metrics: the attackers who compromise CAs don't generally overlap in skillsets with people who engage in bug bounty programs, and (AFAIK) `security.txt` has had no significant adoption in the broader community.

It's not just with Intel. Apple has 2 years on Qualcomm as well as their phones also have significantly smaller batteries compared to their Android counterparts.
I really like it, and it's funny because I had just started using a very similar system a few weeks ago. I was using Trello with eight lists (Mon thru Sun and a 'backlog') as a sort of proof of concept.

One 'feature' I was using myself was a 'rolling week': The leftmost column is always today [1]. At the end of the day, I'd make a point of clearing out all items that were not checked off: They either move to one of the upcoming days or back into the backlog. At first I thought I would want some automatic behavior, like always moving unchecked items to the next day, but it's actually become a useful end-of-day ritual for me to see what I did not do, whether it is still important and if and when I want to do it.
Then, when everything out of 'today' is either checked off or moved elsewhere, the day moves to the end of the rolling week, so that on each day of the week I always have a visible window of seven days.

Another feature I started using regularly was the 'copy' functionality that Trello has built in: it's just practical to be able to quickly duplicate items and in the process define into which day they should go.

[1] Actually the second col from the left, because I had the backlog as the leftmost one

Edit: I should clarify that I wasn't using this as a _calendar_ but rather as a Todo app/list. I'm still using macOS' regular calendar app for everything that is more than 7 days out.

I've had that happen at my work, but afaik it was just so that the location could be added to google maps. Someone who just wanted your business to be on google maps for some reason?

Google has a pretty streamlined process to take back control of these too so maybe its pretty commonplace.
Isn't the historical progression cybernetics turns into control theory (via Norbert Weiner) and control theory turns into reinforcement learning. So just had a few rebrandings and never went away.
Mighty Retrospective
It's tangential to the ideas expressed in the content beside being a really predictable and repetitive (notice how it's in three separate bottom comments in this thread) gotcha on top of 'how can I take it seriously' itself being just a bombastic trope.

is commenting on whether the article has been read.

They do, which is why I didn't.
There are 7,500 cultivars of apples. This list doesn't cover most of the varieties in my tiny town in upstate NY. We had a good year for Macoun for example. Many apples get a bad rep just because they don't ship well, which is bullshit.
See the article. Nietzsche was driven to madness and died alone in an insane asylum.
I love our local farmers market during peak apple season. There are maybe 20 varieties to try across the different farms, more if you consider each farm's variant it own thing. Sadly we still have covid restrictions preventing food-tasting.
That checks out, 6W is about the power used by an average laptop. Best in class ones are about 3W.

That's fair, at least at my employer we have simply rolled out GDPR compliance globally so we do not have to do deal with different jurisdictional compliance headaches as much.
My take on slack is that if it is serious they'll find another way to get in touch with you.

Another thing to try to get mgmt to set up slack etiquette.

Another thing to do is to train your colleagues by only reinforcing positive behavior and ignoring things they can figure out on their own.

Honestly a slack bot gpt-3 thing that learns from a background of corp docs isn't a bad idea. Basically Anton from SV.
I agree mostly but would amend one thing: I think there is a mix of well-meaning overreaction and often substantial hubris. Politicians tend to have big egos, and many, especially of the upstart class, seem to mistake popular appeal for efficacy ("people seem to really like this platform--I must be on to something here"). So in these cases they'll ignore their lack of understanding of finance and do random or inadvisable things in the hope that the outcome will be good--and if so they'll be heroes. I don't think they realize that awful outcomes are actually quite possible when pulling big levers in complex systems you don't understand, and that awful outcomes had previously been avoided because, in recent memory, policy decisions tended to be made with a measure of respect, at least, for the things that might absolutely, causally wreck the economy.
