Architects certainly realise that a building is more than just a job but they also get pulled along in the strife for change for change's sake since any architect who just repeats or refines whatever has been done before is unlikely to find him- or herself chosen by the top agencies.

Have a look at where architects live and compare it to what they design. You'll find that many if not most - architects or otherwise - prefer to live in classical buildings which in nothing resemble the concrete-glass-steel(-wood) style of modern architecture. There are exceptions but they are in the minority, at least among the architects I know.

I really don't understand Nintendo sometimes. For a company that depends so much on the loyal and devoted fans of a small handful of franchisees they sure do a lot to piss that very same fanbase off.

Now that they have some real competition in the handheld/portable gaming space you'd think they'd be more careful than ever about the bridges that they set fire too.
The American 'democracy' was precisely made to ignore that 'consent' and allow the minority to dominate the majority. John Adams had made no secret of that in his advocacy.

As for the anti-Revolutionary English establishment propaganda that you so unwittingly repeated - I have no problem rooting for the French Revolution with all its faceds included - 'the terror' being no exception. See my other reply:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33899841

Even as that 'terror' was happening in France and executing the aristocrats and their surrogates found to have conspired with enemies to repress their own people for their benefit, the 'democratic' Britain was executing ~1000 commoners per year through the local feudal lords acting as 'justice of the peace' and executing people at their whim. Beyond that, here is how 'humane' that establishment itself was:

That's terror. That's repression. Amazingly the 300-year-long propaganda of the aristocrats that were so threatened in England by the revolution turns it around and makes it upside down.

it's important to differentiate though. climate change is largely mediopolitically-driven narrative playing into the aims of the fossil fuel industry to delay action (e.g., carbon pricing). pollution is a concrete, immediate issue that kills millions of people annually. we should be attacking pollution like a freight train, not CO₂, which is a gas that's essential to life on earth.

that would mean getting rid of coal, oil and gas as a first, and biggest, and maybe even only, step. we could have already been solving this issue if we hadn't stopped allowing nuclear to be built in the 90's, as in, we could be completely coal free by now and on the road to eliminating gas in our electricity infrastructure. then as grid-scale storage is developed over the next few decades, we could move steadily over to solar and wind over the next century (for both electricity and transportation) as the nuclear plants go out of commission at the end of their 50-70 year lifecycle.

the climate change narrative is amorphous and far in the future, so it's easy to deflect criticism and solutions. not so much with pollution, which has been a problem for over a century already. care deeply and fiercely about pollution, not CO₂.
Thank you for the kind words! :)

Yes, this. I actually discovered ncdu through first seeing it in rclone. I thought "that is awesome, why isn't this tool a thing?" And it was.

I get this sentiment, but where do we draw the line? Shouldn’t OS makers (Apple, Microsoft) add additional apps just because third party developers have done it already?
I don't think that's them being dishonest. I'm pretty sure the way I read the first sentence and your re-write is the same thing. I guess the only difference is maybe the layman might not gather that. That said the layman probably isn't going to care about end to end encryption either.

Nice to hold the corporates accountable but I don't find this to be slimy or anything - maybe just me though.
Elon has said it himself. There is never the right time to buy a Tesla. They are always changing things. And next year‘s car will always be better than this year‘s. And to some extend, this is true for anything you can buy in technology. So the idea that „if only people had known“ doesn‘t make any sense. The unspoken criticism here, of course, is that Tesla knew that they were going to re-integrate radar just a year later. And that they were withholding that knowledge from prospective buyers so that they wouldn‘t hold off making the purchase (there‘s a term for that effect, which unfortunately eludes me at this moment). But there is a much simpler explanation. They simply changed their mind. I think it took balls for Tesla to say that radar wasn‘t needed. After all, just a few years earlier they had written one of their big blog posts, which was titled „Seeing the World in Radar“. For them to say, „You know what, we realized we‘ve been on the wrong path. Fusing those sensors is actually making the decision process worse and not better“ - I find that a bold move. And it‘s not like it came out of the blue. Elon had said many times before that many phantom brake events were the result of radar and vision disagreeing with each other. So that issue had been a huge problem for them for a long time. The idea that these people at Tesla are sitting there and thinking about how they can fool the public seems just really crazy to me. From the start, their mission has been very clear: To get as many electric cars on the road as possible. And you just need to look out of the window in order to see that they‘ve kept their word. I‘m really quite puzzled by the amount of suspicion leveled at Tesla on HN. Have they missed their own deadlines on features? Of course they have. Elon promised the first coast-to-coast fully autonomous drive to be accomplished by the end of 2016. He literally said that he has „egg on his face“ in that regard. But it‘s them who said that goal in the first place. And it‘s clear that they are working on the problem, and that they are making progress. Elon Musk has managed to build a rocket company. His team made reusable rockets work - a thing that, to this day, no competitor and no government has been able to do. How can anyone seriously think that this man thinks about fooling the public? If you have power over the physical world - have seen that your team can make things that never existed before - why would you care about having power over people? Power over people is interesting only to those who have no power over nature. It‘s only when you cannot build that you become interested in stealing.
100% agree with this. TV has allowed writers to take more time with their characters, develop them more, give more time to other storylines and plots, and write more complex and interesting tales. People are also starting to expect more story and plotlines in their content, which I think is another reason movies are getting so much longer, since more time is needed to meet those expectations(see The Irishman). In the end, it's hard for movies to match the potential of a good TV series, just because a TV series has more time available to explore the universe of the series.
I don't understand how your other hand argument is more pessimistic. Isn't your phone scanning locally for checksums better than requiring the data to be unencrypted and scannable server-side? Surely they couldn't just do _nothing_.

edit: I take this back—"nothing" should be the right answer.
RFC7084 says a NAT-like stateful firewall mechanism should be enabled by default on customer IPv6 routers.
Apple produces a very nice set of golden handcuffs. Polished shiny look, comfortable fur lining. Customers are really going to going to scream bloody murder when Apple latches them down tight.

The problem here is we are wholly dependant on Apples goodwill. It is not required in anyway (hence Googles behavior). At any moment Apple can revoke said goodwill and exploit us to our hearts content and we will have no fallback what so ever because we decided to let the market codify our freedoms rather than preventing companies from being ruthless.

Little evidence? We've got pictures of them a this point, friend. While we are not entirely sure on all of the specifics, and some things, such as the singularity, are likely a bit different than our current theories suggest, there's mountains of evidence that support the existence of black holes, or at the very least, something that is very very very very very very very similar to them on the macro level.

It's interesting that this announcement was being predicted after Apple unveiled their on-device CSAM scanning feature. Perhaps this was indeed the plan all along, but they lost control of the narrative.

Whatever did happen to the on-device CSAM scanning? Is it still coming to iOS?

Tell HN: My “Rust Web Development” book is released
Hey folks!

Very proud to announce that my book "Rust Web Development" is now published by Manning: https://www.manning.com/books/rust-web-development.

It was a long process, over 2 years in total. The book is using warp as a web framework, but the whole book is pretty much framework agnostic.

If you did some basic Rust, or come from a different language and wonder what all the fuzz is about, grab the book and give it a read!

I think KF is a bit of a special case since the only reason it’s still floating is because Josh Moon is a pretty competent network engineer and webmaster and has pretty much decided to sacrifice his entire professional career and tens of thousands of his own money in keeping the site alive. Most controversial sites just end up throwing in the towel after they’re kicked off of GoDaddy.

To be clear, I’m not defending Josh’s character or the content on KF, just trying to illuminate something I find fascinating.
A surprising number of "clarinet" (er clearnet spellcheck) sites have onion sites, if you use Brave and TOR it sometimes shows up a little onion in the right telling you there's an onion version available.
Well, in many ways, it’s good for them to catch on fire.

You can think of a forest like a giant spring or capacitor. The more it grows (and doesn’t burn or rot), the more energy is in the system, and the bigger ‘sproing’, ‘zap’, ‘omg wildfire’ you’ll get.

The forests evolved to deal with fire because fire is inevitable. Eventually, something always triggers the spring release or touches the capacitor, either people (pre-historic or modern), lightning, rocks falling and sparking, whatever.

more frequent fires means less explosive fires, and more moderate ones. Which are easier for everything to recover from and less damaging. The Sierras have had humans setting fires for 10k+ years for this reason.

The fires in Yosemite back in the 90s sterilized the ground for 10+ ft under the surface because it had been 100+ years since anyone had been allowed to burn anything there because of the western ‘fire bad’ mindset.

And to be honest, our building and development practices don’t integrate with wildfire. We build too much, too into forests, and are too established.

Pre-historic populations were nomadic and set fires on their way out for the year.

Many of those areas still haven’t recovered to even have trees - just dense manzanita. It will be 100’s of years before they look anything like they did before.

[http://npshistory.com/series/symposia/1/chap6.htm]

So we’re in a bit of a catch 22 in a lot of places. We have a huge volume of overgrown, dangerous forest ripe to explode in extremely damaging super hot fires, and we also need to get in the habit of letting things burn (when it won’t be catastrophic!) to reduce the accumulation of even more dangerous fuel.

I went down the rabbit hole after reading this, as I love sub cultures and yearn to see some new ones. Some learnings:

Now there is a certain avant garde playing with the narrative thing going on, which is part of it, so the story that you can find out about the thing is changed at the time its going on and after its happened. The lore is recorded by people within the culture and they are in on it. Certain of the interactions with the author and the characters she met were on the whole staged, or intentional trolling of the author. "some young writer is coming so let's tease her".

The trolling, anti-cancel culture, the pro-autism always-online which may have come from the chans is almost 100% opposite from the "white pilled", positive, almost over the top caring messages that the subculture is putting out. But it's not the same as the we are all going to make it greed-optimism of crypto.

As we see in these fellow comments, most people who have encountered internet people have found them to be nihilistic, anti-social, maladjusted and negative. This sub culture is trying to be the opposite of it, but it exists along side a kind of schizoid-side - it's very odd.

Compared to other NFT young people meet ups (the author previously wrote a popular article about the Bored Yacht Club parties) - this subculture appears to have more women.

Compared to other NFT projects, this art project does not prioritize holding or purchasing an actual NFT image, and seems to value a kind of plagiarism, "just download the png" or anti ownership in a way. It reminds of of plunderphonics/vaporwave from last decade.

The traditional and social politics of the founders seem at odds with a rave and taking drugs. puzzling to me! Someone here says that the drug - Ketamine is apparently chosen as reduced social anxiety?
To clarify, I totally understand the context.

I'm specifically saying that saying a phrase like "they don't look like software developers" just because they're good looking women is in itself a bad (and false!) meme to circulate, which in itself is a bad thing, regardless of context.

Imho after Casino Royale the book series went south rather quickly.
Couldn't you have a constraining operation in there to assert that you have enough bits? You are right that we don't know if `a + b` would need more bits than either a or b. However, we could have an assert that allows us to ensure the static constraints are satisfied. And the type system could be used as a place to know where we haven't checked the constraint.

(Note that I'm not too clear how valuable this would be. Just asking why that isn't a valid path.)

Fun anectdote. Many years ago, I had all my photos and other personal documents encrypted in a PGP Disk on a RW-DVD, and did not store the password in any digital form, because that was the most secure thing to do. Some time later I forgot the password, could not find where I had written it down, and to this day have never recovered them. (Don't have a DVD reader anymore either, though I could still get one of those.) Lesson: don't forget your encryption key.
tbh it seems like the author herself is the one that's the fish out of water. I doubt the people in question are remotely as interesting, avant-garde or important online as the gushing intro suggests, but the rest of it seems to mostly be a story of how a clique were nonplussed by the complete stranger (a female one too!) turning up to their party asking lots of questions about online stuff. Sounds like half the people attending weren't "very online" (the attendees that don't know what the NFT is but are here because a friend invited them, and the scantily-clad girls that aren't normally seen at such events but seem very much to the tastes of the people organizing this one) and the ones that do know about the NFT apparently weren't interested in talking to strangers who aren't buying...

I'm also not sure the world of multiple anime-girl edgelord personas with NFTs necessarily generalises that well to the "very online". She could probably have had a quite different experience at a party of gushingly earnest activists or the sort of nerds who stop being shy and awkward when someone asks them about their favourite MMORPG or open source project.

>> title endorses a narrative

>It endorses a timeline: she was promising, then she went into crypto and no longer is. That's accurate.

You seem to be almost deliberately missing the point that the facts can be correct but presented to favor a false narrative. I've said that three times now, and yet you keep re-asserting that the facts are technically correct, as if that's some vindication of your point.

If that's genuinely what you believe, I'm happy to tell your co-workers that you "managed to not come to work drunk today". It's accurate, right?
>Is the general model of public/private subnet still valid? Or are you saying in a ipv6-only world, there's no need for separate subnets?

Define "public/private". Your server has an IPv6 address that is globally identifiable. Your gateway may not necessarily route traffic to it.

>(in ipv4 world, you know that server is truly unreachable via public internet)

You don't know that, because a port forward rule on the gateway would route traffic to it after doing NAT. And if you made the effort to know that your gateway doesn't have such a rule, then you can equally make the effort to know that your gateway doesn't have a rule to forward traffic to the server's subnet.

Agencies like the one that represents me (10X Management) place people at Google, Facebook, etc. Another route is knowing someone inside the big company -- I know freelancers who got gigs at FAANG (or whatever it is now) companies through contacts.

That's not a good match for me because I prefer smaller companies with well-defined discrete business problems and shorter timelines, and because I usually live overseas and travel a lot -- full-time remote in other words, and not available for daily stand-ups or lots of meetings.

I generally don't work for startups. I have, but they too often lack the focus to get good requirements from, need a lot of interpersonal interaction with the team, and want to pay in equity. Great gigs sometimes but not for me. For me the best customers are small/medium businesses not in the tech industry, profitable and established, who can't attract/hire/keep software/system admin talent. For every job opening at a startup you can find 100 small companies who can't get anyone.
Honestly it's not a non-issue. Bluebell has been pretty successful in activism compared to other activist such as William Ackman. For example, in the ESG context, they were instrumental enough to take down the CEO of Glencore.

Anecdotally, I would love to support this motion, since a few years back we were peddled the same horseshit ESG funds by Blackrock, which contained shares in Chevron, Exxon, Aramco and Total. Utter bullshit. Meanwhile around that time, Fink was in Saudi Arabia meeting with our boy MBS, a true champion of ESG amirite?
