Ask HN: Risks of Using Archive.ph
Pretty common to see Archive.ph on HN, but never seen anyone cover the risks of using it - including for example, target attacks on a specific user.
the same left wing government that allows police to use lethal robots? That's doing little to nothing to address homelessness, income discrepancy & the housing crisis? The one that is beholden to big tech? That one?

'left wing policies' are typically social safety nets (healthcare, housing etc). You're describing failed government, left or right.
Individuals prefer to harm their own group rather than help an opposing group
There are IPC mechanisms today which aren't just bytes. For example, the ability to send file descriptors over unix-domain sockets. Strings of bytes fundamentally can't do that. And in programs that pass file descriptors, it doesn't require any ghostly assumptions about what namespace the strings need to be resolved in.

To be sure, Unix-domain sockets aren't the answer to everything, but they are an example of a different way to think about communication.

'Concealed carry' means that you are allowed to carry a firearm on your person, concealed from view. The typical example of this would be a pistol in a holster, in your waistband, inside of your shirt or jacket.

California doesn't allow 'open carry', which many other states do. This allows you to carry a pistol in a holster outside of your jacket/shirt so that it can be seen.
It is a bit more convulated than that.

Dart was being pushed as JavaScript replacement, back when everyone had one.

However Chrome team failed to push ChromiumVM and eventually the project was ramped down, by then AdWords had made a massive investment moving from GWT into AngularDart, so they rescued the project.

Eventually Flutter, initally prototyped in JavaScript, moved into Dart, and they also decided to change the language semantics from dynamic language with gradual typing (Dart 1.x), to static typing with type inference (Dart 2.0).

Somewhere alongside this timeline, many well known names from language design like Gilad Bracha and Kasper Lund, well known for favouring dynamic languages, left the project.

Kasper Lund's latest project, is not surprising also a dynamic language, https://toit.io/
Calculate how much more you need to earn in CA to make $75k.

Im assuming higher federal taxes than you are.

Half of Sf is transplants, they arent living close to family

> The average worker in SF is getting paid 10%+ more than the average worker in FL or TX

10pct more is not enough to cover the difference. Also if you are good you can make sf salary anywhere in places where the cost of food is a third of the price
How much of the benefit comes from the rewrite itself? A more precise comparison would be rewriting that C or C++ in the same language but with memory safety in mind and see how things turned out.

The same question comes up when an existing system is rewritten from language A to language B and big performance gains are seen. The language could be the big cause, but so could the extra engineering effort itself -- updated design, fresh attention to the requirements, etc.
Fair enough, in non risky areas people tend to be too OCD about these things
Next.js is not a good general purpose React framework. It is good for static sites with sparse dynamic pages but nothing more complex. And the documentation is still woefully inadequate.

Don't be like me, choosing to build an entire app on Next.js and hating every moment of it after the honeymoon period ended 2 weeks in. Live and learn.
Here's one remote location a 30 minute drive from taipei city center https://goo.gl/maps/VXSbNc8ZmkqWCiH17

As you can see, the mountains are snaked with literally hundreds of kilometers of such roads, all within 30 minute driving distance from taipei.

You believe this can be policed with one car still?

You accuse us of not caring?

> This happened literally all the time.

1. That ↑, but also…

2. … the spread of lightbulbs or automobiles happened organically, simply because people perceived them as better than what was there beforehand and wanted them. There was no big centralised push like "We must switch from horse carts to 100 % automobiles within two years in order to avoid the big horse dung apocalypse", so the spread of those new technologies simply happened at whatever speed was feasible and sensible. If it turned out that building the required new infrastructure for lightbulbs or automobiles was a little harder than initially estimated, the buildout simply happened a little slower and that's that.

Whereas now there are external goals attached to the process (must have X % electric cars by 20xx in order to avoid the apocalypse), so if it turns out that reaching that goal is harder then expected, there's immediately much hand-wringing.
This is one of the more challenging parts of turning 3D scenes into pixel art in real time — making them pixel perfect. There are definitely ways of doing it, but it honestly rarely gets closer to looking like pixel art that’s created pixel perfect to begin with.
There have been a few rabies cases in Philly this year. [An attack in nearby Radnor by a racoon](https://6abc.com/raccoon-attack-radnor-pa-the-willows-devon-...). [A rabid cat was found as well](https://philadelphiaweekly.com/rabies-in-philadelphia-stray-...). It happens, and I generally see more racoons and cats than bats in the city.
Used to use some of this data for analyzing cellular service coverage. The info on cellular data (e.g., LTE) availability is provided by the cell providers and is usually... very optimistic.

I'd assume the terrestrial fiber/cable/DSL data is more accurate, though?
The latency of accessing physical memory is asymptotically a function of N for sufficiently large N - ie. big enough that signal propagation delay to the storage element becomes a noticeable factor.

This is not generally relevant for PCs because the distance between cells in the DIMM does not affect timing; ie. the memory is timed based on worst-case delay.
Our iOS curriculum covered memory management extensively.
Why is freedom so important? I've noticed many projects still give MD5 checksums, if any. That's a form of freedom, I guess, since the code is open source, but if no one has the time to secure things the open code just makes it easier to find 0 days... and then you don't need a 0 day if you can just hack the site to alter the binary and serve up a matching hash :/

The above is why for a long time I supported Apple -- I viewed it as paying for a team of folks to audit code etc, but they've made so many terrible decisions such as literally removing the function keys for a touchbar that my next laptop will probably be something that can run Debian well (then whatever else I need in a VM, since this device has a tiny hard drive and not a ton of ram nor a decent GPU since I got it back when I had a university affiliation and could SSH into all sorts of things rather than keep everything here or on a literal USB hard drive in a safe.)
The US isn't worried about some uncontacted hunter-gatherer tribe rising up to wipe it out either. That doesn't mean they are lesser beings.
It's fine for people to have opinions about science and to express them. People learn through interaction.

Dismissing people by saying things like "imagine joe six pack sharing his opinion on microbiology" is part of what made the anti-vax or vax-skeptical crowd so upset. In many circumstances, the rest of us did not meet them where they were. That requires listening, and yes, encouraging uninformed people to express their opinions.

It can be popular to behave dismissively online because it seems like you don't need to deal with the aftermath. When everyone does it, that adds up.

I'm not saying everyone needs to be out there correcting misinformation, just that we deal ourselves a better hand when we accept that other people get things wrong. It's okay for people to be wrong, even in the absence of being corrected. Telling people to shut up doesn't nip the virus in the bud, it is the virus.
N26 alumni have created more startups than those from Wise, Revolut and Klarna
That survey is almost the answer to my question so thank you for linking to it.

Guns were used in self defence in 0.9% of crimes where the victim of the crime was present. It doesn't state whether the gun was fired or not but given the low percentages of a gun being involved at all I guess there aren't many 'bad guys' being shot (or shot at).
Someone needs to build an inflation adjusted RAI equivalent. Yeah, let me tell you, that is the tiny amount of potential that is left in cryptocurrencies and I would require abandoning everything that cryptocurrencies stand for. All the post rationalizations would have to be ejected from your mind.

On the other hand, it would be immediately visible why a cryptocurrency with both low volatility and no inflation would be very popular and you wouldn't even need to shill it to a greater fool.

> Post-Brexit, GDPR is a dirty word in Britain though.

Okay, UK GDPR. My sincere apologies.
In the places where most robberies happen, cities like San Francisco, only the criminals have guns. In the parts of the country with lots of gun-owning households, like Idaho, robberies are rare. I’m not saying it’s a cause-effect relationship, it’s just that the issue doesn’t come up that often.
>Great news for the US. Great news for Apple, AMD, and Nvidia. Not so good news for Taiwan. The fact that the whole tech world is dependent on chips produced in Hsinchu is a huge advantage for the safety of Taiwan. Moving the fabs and talent further away from the island will not benefit the people of Taiwan at all.

Is it possible part of why China wants control of China is to control these factories, so if they move production to America paired with demanding existing diplomatic agreements be honored, China will be less obsessed with seizing, for lack of better phrasing, a unique resource?
Quanta themselves also put out a few posts on their Mastodon account about how they've changed the wording, and about how they assign credibility: https://mstdn.social/@QuantaMagazine/109439420826151490
I think the main thing that needs to be included is a deliberate sense of vagueness and uncertainty around even the most basic propositions.

Instead of true or false or 1 or 0 values and = operators, British PHP should have constructions like "might very well be", "perhaps" and "not too sure about that"

San Francisco sunk huge piles of money in "solving" the housing crisis. Without allowing people to actually build, of course.

It also has driven out big tech with with idiotic policies and taxes. Remember the anti-Uber law? The Twitter tax?
So the moral of the story is to use passive fingerprinting that is able to identify and track individual users, because then you can skip the cookie banner and be compliant with the law?

All the reasons you listed are not related to your charity at all. Basically is 1-3 and you just accidentally hit your #4 point. If it wasn't a color you liked, or you didn't need a phone, or it was more expensive, you would have not done it EVEN if it was to help.

Since the sorting scene seems to be fully assembled in this thread, I take the opportunity to ask quick question about a use case that does not seem uncommon: Is there an algorithm that is especially efficient if the array contains many sorted sequences, and still works alright for fully shuffled arrays? And are there algorithms that should be avoided in these cases.

And yet, you can happily have a UAF through a string_view.

This is not about C++ developers using old school C approaches. The language is fundamentally dangerous. There were huge efforts within Chrome to get all memory managed by smart pointers even more powerful than those offered by the standard, and they still have UAFs all the time.
"On a regular basis" may not be quite the level occurrence, but yes, it does happen, and it often will not become a news story when it does.

As others have pointed out, some states like California have laws and enforcement policies that at times appear to favor criminals over self defense. Other states, like Florida or Texas, tend to better enable self defense with lethal force.

The whole thing is an equation you really do not want to find yourself in. Even with justifiable/legal use of deadly force in a defensive situation you are likely to wind up embroiled in a lot of hassles, law suits, and associated costs.
The term “cookie” literally means “little cake” from the Dutch “koekje”. The term “biscuit” comes from the French for “twice cooked (cake)”.
I wondered why you didn't just google the meaning of the word like I would've done at that age, but then remembered that this was not a thing back in the days.

Also reminds me of when I was stuck in Lego Star Wars and couldn't find the way to solve a level. I then searched for a write-up of said level. At that point I only understood German, but I was still extremely confused by the write-up. The reason was, that the German word for 'hatch' is 'Luke', and Luke Skywalker was a character who was present in that level. I was stuck because I didn't find that hatch and the write-up told me that I 'jump on the platform with Luke and activate a control panel with R2-D2 to make Luke appear so that people can go through the Luke' (very paraphrased, but I think the point comes across)
Not sure if this qualifies, but the first thing that came to mind for me was bogosort sometimes called bozosort.

I don’t think OP was referring to the letter of the law. My understanding is that “Stand your ground” /can/ at a minimum be applied to any situation where “a reasonable person would be in fear for their life” - which likely (technically) would cover almost any scenario where any kind of violence or even “crime” is targeted towards you.

That said, as OP was saying the overwhelming take (from what I’ve seen) in the gun/conceal carry community has a pretty high standard for deadly force. In reality the standard for “fear for your life” is actually really high for most people. As you say “shooting back” - which implies you were shot at first. I think in that case “fear for your life” is very reasonable and push come to shove anyone with a gun would use it.

This take even stretches into robberies like this. If someone comes up to you on the street and demands your camera (even with a weapon) it’s best just to cooperate and hand it over. All but the most fervent gun people at their core realize that real life isn’t Hollywood. The vast majority of people who say otherwise are keyboard warriors/wanna be tough guys that have never been in such a situation and have some delusional fantasy of themselves channeling John Wick when/if it happens to them. Obviously that’s not reality.

Clearly the US has a ton of guns and there are many millions of people who are armed at all times. Stories in the news of people using a gun to defend themselves are few and far between because 1) violent crime is actually exceedingly rare statistically and 2) even most gun people realize it’s not OK to kill someone over a camera/wallet/etc even though you may have the means to and the law is technically on your side.
I’ve gotta mention If Hemingway Wrote JavaScript, an excellently funny book, relevant to the thread. https://anguscroll.com/hemingway/
Google is great at engineering projects that look great in promotion packets. Just because they're big and funded doesn't mean they're good at this.

It seems plausible that splashy projects in new languages are better for careers than grinding through "stable" codebases using "boring" engineering practices.

I also gather that Google has a challenge, possibly for similar reasons, keeping their third party dependencies updated and up to standards. A lot of those are written in C and C++, probably.
It's called a stalemate, and results in a draw.

It really varies by state. In Texas it's more like the old days, shoot on sight more or less. Not so much in California, where one would likely be jailed/sued for protecting liberties. You can sort of tell by interacting with the police. In one state they're rather kind/respectful, in the other they are burnt out by all the bs. All in all, America is still so wonderful though. As long as the average citizen retains the right to bear arms I think we'll make it out alive in the long run.
You mean both have a medieval-looking helm?

The samurai from the article looks much more similar. But still, it was normal enough that it's not easy to guess.
Great question! I would say the main reason why this work is significant is that StarCraft agent was bootstrapped from human replays, and Dota agent did not have game-theoretic guarantees on minimizing exploitability (i.e. how far the strategy is from Nash equilibrium). The R-NaD algorithm with neural nets (behind Stratego) starts from scratch, and has game-theoretic guarantees.

In principle, the AlphaStar's league approach (from StarCraft) could be done also in Stratego, and it would be very interesting to compare the two approaches. Note that AlphaStar is more expensive: it required to train N competing agents with pair-wise evaluation costing N^2, while Stratego's NeuRD trains a single agent.
> Junk article that does not cite any real reference between Masamune's helmet and Darth Vader's design.

Agreed. There are similarities, but nothing to directly tie them together.

If you get The Making of Star Wars[1] book there's tons of detail on the development of the characters, including Darth Vader.

I think this connection is largely coincidental.

I was not cheering, and my opinion is consistent; as money becomes much tighter companies have to rightsize themselves to the amount of revenue coming in. This is true across Silicon Valley and it is true of us.

The other problem is a landfill or dump is miles and miles away. As you said, they charge money, and they also have rules.

You might not be able to throw out bags of household trash, for example. They also usually don't take certain kinds of waste like old tires, construction debris, appliances, paint, batteries, etc.

So people just dump it wherever they find empty lots.
everything has a connection to game theory
I think this is the dangerous opinion that led us down the censorship path that the article is decrying. “Pro-social” and “anti-social” are subjective, not objective.

To a religious conservative, it would be pro-social to say “marriage should only be between one man and one woman”. To many progressives, this would be “anti-social”.

Here’s a conundrum. Is “we should kill all nazis” pro-social or anti-social? On its face it seems to promote violence, so maybe anti-social, but the people it’s targeted at themselves support horrific views.

As a Gen X libertarian, I am pretty much a free speech absolutist (I support minimal legal limits such as CSAM because there must have been victimization involved). It boggles my mind that so many young people today don’t support free speech; tides of culture and government change and if you allow free speech to slip away when trends support suppressing ideas you oppose, it won’t be there for you when ideas that you support are in the crosshairs.

I'm sure this use of $ character is much older than Perl.

One counter-example I know first hand: Sinclair ROM BASIC uses $ for denoting strings, in both variable and function names.

The one I have in a Spectrum is copyrighted 1982, around 5 years before first Perl was released.

I'm sure there are older examples like this.

Not using a framework doesn't automatically imply everything is built from scratch. Maybe I prefer calling libraries, instead of plugging my code into a framework. I could also implement patterns using the batteries included features of the platform. For example Web Components on the frontend, or a REST API on the backend built using the standard Go "net/http" package
Aside from the guidance offered in the other comments, look at working at a cybersecurity vendor where there are multiple tracks. At a big vendor there are the traditional IT security roles for network, endpoint, cloud, GRC, IAM, etc.
But there are also roles in sales, marketing, operations, product management, and administration. All have entry points that do not require cybersecurity expertise. But you can work your way from an entry role in any direction.

54% of 3,175 cybersecurity vendors are hiring still this year.

If you get lucky you may work for a high flying success and participate in their IPO. At any rate it can be a lot of fun.
The thing is, no one asked, and it was completely off topic.

The gist of the post you originally replied to was that some people stopped doing things presumably unhealthy, and couldn't conceive. One of those things was eating meat. Then they started doing those things again, and, presumably due to reduced stress, their fertility improved (OP hints they suspect correlation, in this case, is from causation).

If anything, this almost suggests it was healthier for these people, in this situation, to eat meat. Same with resuming alcohol and caffeine. The added stress from avoiding those things may have been worse for them. No claim of meat being net unhealthy was made in that post.

But I'll make it now, since we're here and you haven't stopped. There are many studies showing excessive meat consumption has negative health effects.

I'm not saying it's always healthier for everyone to cut out meat entirely, just that the average diet includes a decidedly unhealthy amount of meat. There's nothing "outdated" about this claim, it's based on heaps of modern research. Your anecdotes don't mean anything, and are no doubt cherry-picked. I know lots of people who claim adding meat back to their diet (or adding more meat to their diet) has improved their well-being also. And if I had an axe to grind with the suggestion that I eat less meat, I might regurgitate those anecdotes too.

FWIW I also know plenty of people who feel healthier when they eat less meat, but again, I don't consider anecdotes useful in this conversation.
