This bit really chimed with my brief contacts with Chris

> As a college dropout, I’ve always felt underqualified. Embarrassment about my lack of knowledge and credentials has driven me to study hard on my own time. But Chris never once made me feel out of place. Any time I had questions, without judgement, he would take the time to explain things to me.

I never once felt like he looked down on people who knew less than him, he just saw it as an opportunity to share what he knew with them.

In an industry that can sometimes be dominated by arrogant certainty, or people trying to demonstrate their brilliance, he was a breath of fresh air.
Yea, but then you watch something like this [0] and realize that things are a lot more depressing in the world than what Newsom does or the news reports on.

I'm not saying we (in Calfornia) should continue to contribute to the problem, but the problem is a lot bigger than what we can see or do anything about.

It’s not a straw man, you’re just debating the least charitable interpretation. It is true that VC-backed tech startups hire in large batches if they can ”afford to”. This “adds value” (for a potential acquisition or IPO) by attaining the intellectual property and time of said hired employees in writing.

One or two of them are “good enough” to nail new record growth. Some survive by way of credentials, as their @stanford.edu email is good for leads/future hiring/brain drains.

The rest are “scaled down” as they say.
Apple has introduced three new security features to better protect users' data in the cloud. The new services will provide the company's highest-ever levels of data security for the iCloud. The services, called iMessage Contact Key Verification, Security Keys for Apple ID and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, will be available for users to choose from. Apple is committed to providing users with the best data security in the world, said Craig Federighi, the company's senior VP of software engineering.
“Dates and times when a file or object was modified are used to sort a user’s information, and checksums of file and photo data are used to help Apple de-duplicate and optimize the user’s iCloud and device storage—all without having access to the files and photos themselves.”

https://support.apple.com/guide/security/advanced-data-prote...

So Apple only encrypts the files but not the metadata? If that's true the encryption is basically worthless because Apple is still able to "see" what files you upload and scan them for CSAM, copyright infringement or videos of 1989 Tiananmen Square.
Know that the odds are stacked against you - but be persistent and press on anyway.

The minority who are willing to look past your age (who will also be the better ones to work for) will pick up on your persistence and see it as a positive trait and hire signal.

As to the resume - there's lots of advice out there on resume advice for older workers. Truncating / condensing lists of older gigs is one of the standard techniques.

The rest of what you do is a variation of the same advice as applies to younger candidates - just that in your case it will have even more protective benefit,

For example - even though it may bore you a bit, be sure to both read (or carefully skim) as many modern books as you can that are relative to your field, as well as to stay up on the "shiny" stuff (cloud, containers, CI/CD) even though your gut instinct will (rightly) tell you they may be overhyped or less important than knowing the core principles.

That is - at least know what they are, what problems they attempt to solve and what they are basically made of. This will make is substantially less easy to dismiss you as a dinosaur (inflexible / crusty / less nimble than younger candidates).

Finally: wear your age with pride. You've lived through times, and have seen things these people can only read about (for those who even read these days). You have a rare perspective to offer, and the better folks out there will see that and dig that aspect of you. And will be proud to have you in their corner and on their team.

> Granted I assume you can probably create a default DENY rule for inbound traffic and selectively open ports up as exceptions. Right?

That's what reasonable people would do for a V4 network too.
Given this feat, it’s quite incredible that Nvidia is incapable of shipping stable Linux drivers for the RTX 30xx series.
It’s definitely not good for employees to reject calls for things like a pride flag in mass emails to employees.

The reasoning, other minorities, explicitly mentioning black minorities, may want attention isn’t a very “not-evil” thing to do. It’s a weird whataboutism that throws black employees under the bus as the ultimate problem they’re trying to avoid. This was in 2017, and not eg during the George Floyd protests, so it was really arbitrary to mention.

It’s a flag in an office park, for a month, it has no negative affect to the company except an hour of human effort to put up and take it down. It does have a positive affect for their employees, however. Even if it does “snowball” to other minority groups… really has minimal downsides.

What is particularly stunning was the action to email the company to say they wouldn’t put up a flag because black people may get ideas. That’s the action that is hard to understand because it draws attention to a decision that could be made quietly with less negative impact.
I don't use Telegram for anything that requires "real security", and advise against doing so. I assume that 100% of what I say in Telegram would be accessible to whatever authorities there are. I only assume that low-skill script kiddies won't be able to read my encrypted chats. I use Telegram the way I would use Facebook, or post-it notes in an office coffee point: with no expectation of real privacy.

It still covers a lot of mundane communication cases.
You could go so far to claim that, but it’s exactly that point of view that produced so much objectively ugly, human-unfriendly architecture.

Relativists replace the moral imperative of “good for everyone” with “interesting to people like me”, and think they’ve stumbled onto a more sophisticated or accurate view of the world, instead of just vapid sophistry.
> Wouldn't emailing @dang be against the purpose of Tor, which is to enhance privacy?

Just use webmail in your tor browser. And don't send it from your main gmail, but create a throwaway.
Is dark matter some tangible "stuff," or is it more of an artifact of gaps in our observation?

Why do physicists, when confronted with the lack of observational evidence for the "dark matter" that their models predict, assume that "dark matter must exist?" Couldn't the model be wrong? At what point does the unproven prediction of dark matter call into question the many otherwise proven predictions of the Standard Model? How much of the experimental evidence supporting those predictions has an implicit dependency on the same invalid assumptions leading to the prediction of dark matter?

I remember reading an HN comment that described the Standard Model as a sort of legacy codebase with technical debt and strange abstractions to fix earlier errors. That resonates with me, and in fact seems applicable to the entirety of the human epistemological "tech tree." I sometimes wonder, what secrets might we uncover if we could start fresh, speed running different paths through the tech tree?
So what sort of answer do you find satisfactory? It seems like the "right" solution is non-trivial bit twiddling, do you expect people to come up with that, or stop sooner than that?
What's the target level of compatibility with existing npm modules? 100%? Some lower percentile?

Hate to carry forward baggage of past design choices, but likely essential to really get widespread adoption. I'd definitely start using Bun for my projects today (non-production), if it works seamlessly with existing packages.

I think it mostly matters in the context of US case law, specifically the third party doctrine.

> The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant.

Can somebody explain the room for debate and expression of sentiment here? If Apple was legally required to do x in regards to privacy, I have to assume they would and everyone could know they would (because it does not seem very big US company to outright defy national law). If they were not, on what ground, could the gov pressure Apple?
Once documented anything becomes public API that customers will expect to work forever with no regressions no matter how many caveats and warnings you put on it.
Similarly, as do the Trezor wallets.

Quite a few people involved in crypto send a bit of TOR noise across the wires using that client to do transactions

This is a good point, though. We need more and more things to use it (legitimately) so that the traffic alone isn't as suspect.

It'll always be a little suspect, I suppose, being only visible to exit nodes or whatever
Summary:

It's bad enough that some people have anxious, provocative, and attention seeking personality that comes out as fringe tech elitism. Yet it's even worse that this is nothing new.
folks should probably avoid linking their own personal git forge (or others, if this is the case) to HN and just use GitHub to share their code. or deploy the content to a static site host.
A long way off from PostgREST, but you might be able to hack together something sort of similar with Datasette [0] and the new JSON api. Not out of the box at all, but the potential is there to get a similar product.

That's what the HN comment thread is for!
Codux dev team member here.

A lot of what you're suggesting here (prettier, eslint) is on our list, and even in the works - and I hope would reach users soon. Until we improve the experience around the built-in code editor (and perhaps even after), we've found that it's most comfortable for us to work side-by-side with Codux and our IDE of choice.
Aw shucks, thanks. :D

(And yeah the hobby def ain't for everyone, unless you like the social/messaging work taking up 5x the time the technical work does XD )
Shopify launches redesigned Shopify App Store
a closer look maybe, but unless they break Tor they'll only have a close look at your timing traffic.

if you're worried, you could use a popular VPN to connect to Tor - using a VPN is less interesting. also, P2P app developers could consider running non-exit nodes in their clients for popular apps. there shouldn't be legal risks unless you're running an exit node, and this adds more noise to the signal of Tor users.
From a business perspective, they seem to consider that the UK is part of Europe:

https://plaid.com/blog/plaid-hires-head-of-europe/

Their site mentions offices in London and Amsterdam. Maybe UK means London and Europe means Amsterdam?

(Or maybe they have some employees elsewhere in Europe - they offer their services in several countries... including another non-EU country: Norway.)
The US Forest Service, CalFire, National Park Service, aren't doing better forest management because Trump talked about raking the forests? That's a pretty reductive take. It's because of the immense manpower cost that they don't have funding for, how quickly human settlements are expanding into and encroaching on forest areas, the incredible risk of doing prescribed burns that could get out of control, and myriad other bureaucratic messes between native rights, federal land and agencies, and state agencies and air quality regulations.

The matter was traveling at 99.99% the speed of light in the jet. While we generally consider space to be a friction-less vacuum for something like a spaceship, that isn't true for things like a stream of particles traveling across the universe. Even if the Earth stood still in this exact position for another 800,000 years (which it won't, since our galaxy is not stationary, nor is the solar system, and there is of course the expansion of space as well), very little of the physical matter from this jet would hit us.
In theory it adds a speed bump. Apple as the cloud service provider can respond to the legal order by saying they don't have the key. And then the police can ask for a booby trapped update for just your phone which may or may not happen. Or they can lobby the legislature for an encryption backdoor for all devices which will force them to show their hand in terms of "lawful intercept" capability.

If you want maximum security use an air gapped computer. But that won't let you send messages on the go.
in comparison, when I bought a live-catch mousetrap recently, the guy at the store said it was illegal to release the mouse in the county. (implying you should buy the catch-and-kill trap variety)
I didn't take the parent comment to be referring to governments. Most of the internet is made up of private organizations, many of which are interested in the traffic they carry.
The best method I've found for contractors to find work is to mine linkedin.

Although it's against the linkedin terms of service (and I do not currently use it), octopus crm is a good place to look for thr framework, octopus automates it, but you can just do what octopus does, follow the same playback, manually.

Every day like a few people's posts, write a glowing reference/reccomendation for someone you've worked with or for on their page, endorse a few people for skills, and send out 10 personal messages to people in your field. To find those people search . Like if your into semiconductor robotics just search for that with those keywords, then filter it by people in management, then further by anything else you want to filter by (location, etc) and then connect with those people (send a friend request) and in the note just say hi, I'm X, I do X, I noticed you do to, just wanted to connect.

Do that for a few weeks and someone will reply back asking for your help.

I hope this helps, if it doesn't ignore it and do something better.
I wonder if re-transmission is the best solution to corrupt blocks. Some students that commuted to school on a train (MIT?) figured out if they transmitted ECC-style blocks combined with RAID-style parity blocks they could instead rebuild corrupt data.

It all depends on the kind of corruption. Periodic spikes, white noise, blackouts - different problems need different solutions

The post is difficult to understand. Do you have some weird wifi router that shows adds every time you connect to it?
Did I understand correctly that with the "Time" or "LSN" options for branch creation I do not have to create my branches ahead of time (via UI or API), but I can do that _after_ I messed up already?
No worries, I have my helmet ;-)
Perhaps this was for legal reasons. In the Bay Area there's a rash of similar-looking apartment buildings that all have names like 'The something'. Some marketroid noticed that locals often substitute short nicknames for formal 'The Xyz Building' titles, so they could give the sense of a neighborhood by branding the apartment building with a cutesy nickname. One of these days they'll accidentally get it right and name one of these glass and steel cubes 'The Borg.'
The thing that people always miss is that the damn SIM card is running its own little processor already. If the government really wants to read your shit they can probably just do some behind the scenes work with your mobile ISP and find a way to access your phones screen output or microphone data or something.

Yes, but I don't want that data on my Mac in the first place. It takes up almost all disk space there, completely needlessly.

(Actually it doesn't – I symlinked the backup directory to an external drive, and fortunately ~iTunes~ Finder follows that. But this is something completely unrealistic to ask of an average user, in my opinion.)
It's not a choice. It's not seen as a choice. The Choice is not between life-and-death but between suffering and ending your suffering. This is how the suicidal mind thinks. When suffering becomes greater than any other emotion it It's like a pressure that has to be relieved
Maybe it would. There's something else, though.

I find it strange that someone in the UK can argue that requiring bicycle helmets is the best way forward, or even one of the ten best things to do, when two neighbouring countries have had massively more success than the UK, and and those two don't require helmets, or even use helmets very much.

I wear helmet. It's not that. I just find it strange that it's politically possible to say things that are so weird when you look at them from the viewpoint of a neighbouring country.

A written parliamentary question sounds like a fairly serious thing? Not exactly shitposting.

I know to each his own, but I love the aesthetic of the Boston City Hall, and while not fully brutalist, a lot of really cool and abstract designs came from brutalism. My favorite college campuses I've been to have fully embraced the brutal with bizarre overhangs, odd shapes, posts, etc.

The ugliest campuses to me are either the ones that create a faux old world feel or just opt for business park chic.

Same goes for neighborhoods. I love seeing neighborhoods from the 60s or 70s that took a more brutalist/abstract inspiration. Large windows, backless stairs, conversation pits, etc.

To me it looks a whole lot nicer than modern home construction trying to mix southern porches with Victorian styles, all on top of a sears foundation.
I would still argue that home delivery is more environmentally friendly...

The Amazon and UPS drivers delivering to my suburban neighborhood seem to drop at least two packages per street, so the cost in gas per delivery is half a street (wild approximation). If I am driving home and stop off at a grocery store as I pass I still have to get to and navigate in and out of their parking lot. Likely more than half a streets worth of gas in the best possible case.

Only walking to the store is going to be more environmentally friendly.

We can talk about Amazon's packaging related carbon costs but that is not this thread.
> If the jet were also travelling at the speed of light we'd be dead right now

Does that mean, once the jet reaches us 850K years from now, we can say that will be a mass extinction event, or even the end of life on Earth? Compared to a billion years from now when the Sun's luminosity increases.
Sorry mate but you have no idea how anything works. Literally every photo hosting service on the internet will scan your photos against an abuse list and work with LE - otherwise they get to become the “cp-friendly” hoster.

When apple released client-side scanning (which only ever applies to photos uploaded to iCloud Photos) the only thing that changed was now the scanning takes place on your device where you have transparency and ability to see what hashes are checked. The folks paying attention knew what this was - Apple redesigning a workflow to make LE cool with e2e encrypted photos. You read some false outrage articles and are now somehow still upset at a company doing work that is currently in your best interest. Baffling.
Where's the need for state? Please excuse the abuse of terms below, but you can probably figure out what I mean.

A v6 only host would send a v6 packet from it's full address to the v4+ address. A router on the path that has access to v4 internet would pull the v4 destination out, and reframe as a v4 packet (source ?, dest the v4 address), that's got the v6 packet, or maybe just the addresses, I dunno. This router would burn a lot of CPU doing this, but doesn't need any state.

The v4+ host has a little harder job, it needs to know a v4 address to send the tunneled packets to. But again, it's sending a tunneled packet, and whatever is processing that doesn't need state, it just needs cpu to inspect and untunnel. Of course, if the v4+ address is rfc1918 (or otherwise unroutable), then that's problematic. You _could_ do NAT at the router, but I'd say don't do that.

It might be useful for the v4 host to keep the v4 tunnel sender IP from incoming addresses to reframe on the back end.

You might also do something special with routing to the v4+ prefix... if you advertise the v4+ address, it indicates you want v6 -> v4+ traffic to go to your network as v6 and you'll encapsulate it, otherwise it would go a (hopefully local) router that advertised the /96 prefix. If this encap/decap turned out to be popular, you might see router ASICs accelerate it, but likely it's expensive, so the work should be distributed to end points as much as possible.

Of course, there was Teredo that kind of tried to do something like, but it didn't really work out, did it?
Not sure if it's autism or edgy angst.
To the contrary, this sounds remarkably similar to the way the startup Better Mortgage was/is operating to me.
Connecting to hidden services it's 6 hops, reaching out to the internet it's 3 hops.

The idea of using the first search results as an input for GPT is a good compromise between the static/"smart" (static in time) GPT and the dynamic/"dumber" search engines.

I also agree it is a good idea to give control to the user to choose

- How to expand : between “breadth-first” and “depth-first”

- Then, how to filter : using dynamic keywords/references

This is what I’ve been telling people all day long these days. It is not an either/or. Good UX design (I like the citations system in your result!) can take the best of both words: The classic search engine (or any other classic UI), and AI functions/conversational UI.

The business model is unclear, but you are definitely into something here.

Good luck !
Or... we could just let indigenous people do their cultural burns.

Cultural burns were banned in California before California was even technically a state. It's moronic. These practices have been in place for thousands of years and much of the flora of at least California shows many signs of adaptation to these frequent, low-frequency burns. These types of burn practices reduce the amount of fuel for wildfires, help fight invasive species while promoting native species, produce charcoal that purify the waterways, protect the soils from the higher intensity fires that can often turn soil infertile, and increase the production of certain native foodcrops like acorns and blueberries.

Indigenous people throughout the west coast are fighting for their rights to reclaim their stewardship role. Frankly, we should be paying them, not challenging them
