My favorite Wikipedia story is when I tried to update the page for the "Homebrew Mobile Phone Club" to reflect the location of the first meeting. Someone (probably not at all maliciously) commented that the club's first meeting was at the Tech Shop in Menlo Park. This was untrue. It was at the Google offices at the GooglePlex in Mountain View near Moffett Field. I know because I was the organizer of the first meeting.

As proof that the first meeting was at the Tech Shop one of the editors cited a Wired article where the author mentioned they attended a meeting there in Menlo Park. We absolutely held meetings there and I am forever grateful to Jim Newton for sponsoring us. Nowhere in the article (I believe by Robert Strohmeyer) did it mention this was the first meeting. And actually... I'm re-reading it... it talks about meeting at a law firm in Palo Alto, which I think was where we had our second and third meetings, so the conversation about the Tech Shop meetings being the first meeting is even weirder.

Anyway... no amount of discussion could convince the volunteer wikipedia editor that our first meeting was at the GooglePlex, even the post on Boing Boing announcing it (thank you Cory Doctorow for amplifying the message.) They just decided they were right and I was wrong.

In the end they nominated the article for deletion and by that time I was totally okay with it. The club had dissolved after the release of Android and the iPhone, where you could actually write your own phone apps. And now with the Pine Phone (and other platforms I can't remember the name of) it's not clear what the club would be advocating for.

Anyway, I still think the Wikipedia is a great place to go find references about a subject you're not familiar with. But you absolutely need to do due diligence and continue finding references if your search is important.

And to be clear... my point is... sometimes human editors imply "facts" are in references when they clearly are not. In this case it was a minor, unimportant detail -- the location of the first meeting. But I have noticed several times wikipedia editors including "facts" that aren't supported by the citations. Caveat Lector.

I've had my eyes on one of these for a long time but haven't been able to find them in storck. I've also been thinking of a Sony A7C with their 40mm 2.5 lens as an almost-as-small alternative. Having owned a a6000 mirrorless before and numerous other DSLRs before that, I like the no-nonsense and no-decisions nature of the fixed lens on the Fuji.

And now I have more problems ;) . (And I develop on CMake; consistently using external deps is a nightmare.)

The thing is that I usually am that library author (or working in an area that acts like that).

I'm not sure what you expect to be left if you say "the stack is all you can use" (which is what I understand to be remaining when you remove those "bells'n'whistles").

I also really enjoy the functional aspects. I don't want to think about what some of the iterator-based code I've done looks like in C or C++ (even with ranges).
Also, this:

> implicitly support it by refusing to stand against it even when they have the means to do so (in other words, Russians fleeing Russia and claiming "I stay away from politics").

I explicitly support my relatives from Ukraine after fleeing Russia, but I don't post anything anti-war on my social media. Does this count as pro- or anti-war?
Sure, but is the not a step in the right direction?
Interestingly, I think it's usually the second or the third who actually decide if the herd will follow "the leader". If one individual breaks off, the herd will not follow it. But if a small critical mass turns to the same direction, it might.

The environmental argument is sometimes used, but often (and often correctly) seen as someone who prefers remote work dishonestly slapping an environmental argument on it (dishonest, because the actual primary reason they're pushing for it doesn't match the stated primary reason).

It isn't as clear-cut as you'd expect either - one argument I've heard is that in areas where air conditioning is a large contributor to energy use and homes are poorly insulated, someone staying home and cooling their home with an inefficient, small air conditioner may be worse than having that person commute to an office instead. This argument is often generalized and sometimes dishonestly used by people who prefer office work to argue that teleworking is actually bad for the environment.

I found a meta-study https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ab8a84/... that claims vehicle miles traveled increase (because people move further away) while the studies generally claimed a reduction in overall energy consumption.

Several studies claim grossly exaggerated environmental impacts for streaming/data transfers. I don't remember seeing it misused to dismiss the environmental argument for teleworking, but it wouldn't surprise me to see it. The worst offender here is the Shift Project, which overstated the results of their already flawed study by another factor of 8 in an interview, and then used that huge mistake to argue that their other mistakes aren't that relevant because they're small (compared to the initial mistake, not compared to their claimed impact). https://theshiftproject.org/en/article/shift-project-really-...

> On the ground,

On the ground we've also gotten used to soft lighting conditions. Light in space works pretty differently from that on ground. On Earth we have more diffuse lighting as the light of the sun gets spread out from the atmosphere. There are many (MANY) surfaces for light to bounce off of and reflect from, making a more full looking light. In space, on the other hand, light is more often like a point light source. Your background is (effectively) the blackest of blacks. Your foreground is extremely bright. Cameras have pretty limited dynamic ranges. This also contributes to the blurryness you see and why the shadows look "off" (there's actually conspiracy theories around shadows on the moon because of this misunderstanding).

So even after we get all that 4k video things will still be "off" but like areoform is saying, we've come an incredibly long ways. I for one am excited for all these images. But also don't expect them to look like what you're used to on Earth. (and take this message as a warning for incoming conspiracies)

For every ten IT trends/fads, roughly only one has staying power in my observation. The others often move into niches or fade.

If anyone was that good at predicting the diamonds from the duds, they'd be golfing with Warren Buffett instead of poking around Hacker News.

Note that I thought the internet had big potential in the late 90's, as I was getting hooked on Compuserve (a precursor to webbish things). I just didn't think it would ruin biz CRUD/GUI's, rather staying in the consumer lane.
Not the parent post, but a reasonable implication would be that the government-as-a-whole could be forced to enforce the property boundaries as long as it is difficult for individual government officials to make undetected illegitimate changes to the ledger; such a mechanism would be disempowering the specific officials and force them to follow the rules enforced by the system.
Except we have studies that show companies continue to adopt patently absurd and destructive behaviors? Prior to the pandemic, it was the open-office floorplan, and study after study said it was a failure on basically any metric: productivity, spreading of disease, stress…

Now we have remote work, and we're starting to get studies that show the impact it has on productivity… (and thus far, the ones I've seen show favorable results!)

Someday, scientists will finally reach the ultimate conclusion: that many companies routinely make poor short-term tradeoffs to their long-term detriment.

I think this maps to some of the alternate "bets" at the bottom of the post:

AFAIK Erlang isn't byzantine fault tolerant, doesn't use CRDTs, and doesn't even have a JSON library in its stdlib. So just from the title you can tell it has nothing to do with the article.
That is the instrument that I had in mind when I was thinking of the ones that musicians buy tickets for, but I couldn't think of a name that had a collision with it.

I had heard that some airlines may have tried to discourage the practice but this is the first I heard about such measures.

Seems common for some travelers to book tickets ie. Tuba, Lastname.

Sandboxing is mostly irrelevant to the log4j error. You'd have to tell the sandbox to turn off reflection, which isn't really feasible in Java. And that's because Java is so poorly designed that big libraries are all designed to use reflection to present an API they consider usable.

Compare that to a language designed well enough that reflection isn't necessary for good APIs, for instance.

I wish more VCs thought about investing in our sustainable future on earth, the way Morgan Housel thinks about investing in sustainable companies.

The only assumption that keeps us from that step is that all people care about is their short-term rational self-interest.

of course, they do! what else would they care about? How can you even imagine a Market without that assumption?

Yeah... let's just continue to bet. I personally bet there are some "timeless" things that will definitely change soon.
UB sanitizers can only show that your code has undefined behavior, not that it does not. And the results are only as good as your tests. Those sanitizers are also not available with old embedded toolchains.

Code executing in the JVM isn't sandboxed. Sandboxing could have indeed mitigated log4shell. Log4shell was a design where a too powerful embedded DSL was exposed to untrusted data in a daft way - the log("format here...", arg1, arg2) call would interpret DSL expressions in the args carrying logged data. One can even imagine it passing formal verification depending on the specification.

But more broadly the thing is that eliminating these low level language footguns would allow people to focus on the logic and design errors.

The notion that the "billionaires" "don't work" and "don't contribute" is patently nonsense.

you're answering in a binary way after my response saying it's a multifactor optimisation problem. Some people will have 2, 1 or 0 children. Improving education and healthcare also have this effect to lower birth rate. And of course everything else has to be done, low-impact transports, food, etc..

The parent comment "No it isn‘t. The single most impactful one would be to not have kids." is also again turning things into a binary problem, there is no single solution, artificial CO2 sinks are not a single solution at all, we should not skip emissions because they represent less than 2% of global emissions for the same reason
To reduce the heat that the bulbs are putting out, I think? Though, LED bulbs are already very efficient, and the difference in power usage between green light and a perceptibly the same brightness normal warm or sky tone light is probably minimal.

Great article, but I have to quibble about the casual ease with which they wave away the complexity of accessing these timestamps. The Linux APIs for accessing them is totally absurd. See for example the gRPC code that associates hardware (possibly) timestamps with messages, for tracing and other reasons. You have to re-arm the timestamp option before every send. And the whole concept of a timestamp for an ethernet frame maps poorly to stream sockets.

Interesting point. Would it reduce the "individualism" present in the US? I've always found it interesting how much companies market individualism (specially fashion companies). More intense individualism also makes it harder to find another person who can be tolerated due to their individualism.

Ad targeting is much broader than that though. Even with encrypted data you can match keys to profiles. You just don't know who that profile belongs to and you don't even need to know the contents of that profile. The whole point here is that you can treat the system like a black box but still work with it in a useful way.

Expectations and Reality
Like a stopped clock?

I'd grant that Amazon has a large selection and that's an advantage over competitors.

As for pricing, I wouldn't say Amazon is expensive but it is not consistently low cost and it is not unusual to see something on the shelves at Target for $50 that is selling for $70 on AMZN. I think after all these years, and particularly with Prime, AMZN has gotten people in the habit of looking to AMZN first and you'd expect them to cash in on it.

The better selection than other retailers is a durable advantage. I'd call out Best Buy for having a poor selection in comparison, particularly being overly wide (they sell washing machines, grilles, and mirrorless cameras and parts to build PCs) but not sufficiently deep (no selection of lenses for those cameras, no quality tripods, a very limited supply of PC parts.) It begs the question of "Why am I going to drive to Best Buy where they might have some of the things I need when I can order them all online from Amazon or a specialist retailer?"

The flip side is that the marketplace puts a lot of junk products in the AMZN catalog. I'd never buy anything that is likely to be counterfeit on AMZN (Nike only from the Nike store) and I learned the hard way not to buy a thermal printer that is marketed with a size in mm instead of inches.
Yeah, I just noticed that a couple days ago - it's a bug and definitely not our intention to do that. Will let my team know about it now!

Ask HN: How do evaluate a Senior engineer?
At my current company I am a Senior engineer and I have been through three interview loops recently and all concluded that I was not Senior enough. That could be a fair assessment. And if it is, how can I get there? You don't know me, but there must be certain ways that are commonly looked for that I am lacking, either in communication or actual technical experience.

That's the optimistic view on it. The pessimistic view is that in all of these interviews I never perceived that the interviewers were greatly better than my own ability. As one example, walking through my take home project one engineer asked me about a kind of React gotcha. I said I wasn't quite sure, and then he admitted that he only just come across that in their own code recently. But I felt like it had already counted against me, even though he himself hadn't known about it. I guess it felt like I should have been the perfect version of who they aren't yet.
Amazon search on Ubuntu was widely criticised also and has since been removed. Between that and Snaps, Ubuntu has lost the position as "recommended Linux distro for newbies" to the likes of PopOS and Manjaro, so it arguably wasn't consequence free either.

It seems a little like it might mean that software errors caused by race conditions can be reduced by making the timing windows smaller. As this is a complex area (it might not appear so, but it is) the pragmatic solution could be to reduce the windows rather than fix the issue (maybe an FB engineer can speak OTR).
