So sending a single email to a single EU customer from a non-EU server amounts to "harvesting your private information for profit" and merits a $20 million fine?

I have no problem with the GDPR that you wish you had, by the way. My problem is with the one that exists. It neither stops the wholesale harvesting of information nor actually benefits privacy.
Is treating the position embeddings as trainable weights already out of fashion again?
Yeah, no. In another comment, I mentioned shopping at places that give discounts for using cash/debit instead of credit. No all proprietors are greedy assholes to charge everyone for services not used. I choose to do business with these shops.
I struggle to comprehend the mental gymnastics where laws that prevent other people from gassing you are "taking away your freedom".
You should use a second cheap computer for that.
Probably a tie with Apple. I like that Apple isn't trying to sell my attention (yet), but I do prefer the higher level of openness from Google (Android, Chrome, open source contributions, etc.)
This is a manifestation of the “broken windows” theory of policing, championed by Rudy Giuliani when he was mayor of NYC. The theory was that cracking down on minor crimes like vandalism, jaywalking, and the squeegee guys, more serious crime would be reduced. It was ludicrous as stated, of course, and has been debunked.

But its real value was reassuring middle class voters that “something was being done: — after all they could see it!

It also meant a crackdown on the lowest level drug dealers and harassing young black men just minding their own business. This was largely invisible to most of the aforesaid middle class voters, but allowed cops to report great crime statistics without havinto take any risk by going after the real criminals.

* not to be confused with the “broken windows fallacy” in economics.
>SBF is lying, then Republicans are incentivized to make a lot of noise about his relationship with Democrats.

Purely from his Wikipedia article, someone is making a lot of noise about his relationships with Democrats. More of the page is devoted to his political donations than to the bankruptcy.

Not quite the same, your regular Republican could be behind the edits and has no idea what their party leaders are up to.
I don’t think the author writes about the “in your face” signaling, because nobody does that anymore once a certain high socio-economic status is reached (mostly by birth-related accidents), but about the “implicit”, for lack of a better term, signaling. Which most of the people the OP talks about certainly do in abundance. In other words I think the author talks mostly about that “implicit” signaling.
Because the UK is the closest to the US in terms of geopolitical alignment, especially after brexit. Together with the US they've been the strongest supporters of NATO co-belligerence in the Ukraine/Russia war, even within NATO itself, let alone Europe. I might also cite the Liz Truss phone hack, but it hasn't really been confirmed.
You made the right decision.
Watching YouTube crash test videos of a 2022 vs 2000 vs 1980 car is extremely illuminating.
Not really surprising considering the vast majority of people here seem to have probably not received higher education (university/college) in regards to STEM.

You got any critical thoughts or evidence for that conclusion?

I knew you were someone who could afford to "ignore" social cues. I used to think the tech-type was not like that until I observed some common threads, at lest in the Bay Area (driving an EV or planning to buy one - likely a Tesla, Patagonia vests, loves to hike, has an Apple watch)

I was telling my dad that we were going to try a new restaurant. "They churn their own butter," I pointed out excitedly. And my dad--who grew up in a village in Bangladesh--is like "why would they churn their own butter? You can buy it in a store."

People convey all sorts of messages through subtle signaling. They have an image they try to cultivate, even if only unconsciously. For example, people on the west coast wear hoodies and T-shirts to signal a sort of casualness. Meanwhile, I don't wear hoodies or T-shirts because I'm worried people might mistake me for a day laborer.

I don't think most people who say they're above it all really are. Maybe they are. Or maybe they're not as self-aware of their own motivations. Or maybe they're in a cultural bubble where they can't recognize certain social currents as signaling.
Thankyou, I'm going to try to use this to write a story (hint, edit, hint)
> "Devs chatting about development" is also a pretty tight niche

There must be millions of devs who might be interested in a podcast that teaches them about better development practices
France guarantees its citizens a price by subsidizing the difference to market price with state funds.
It's not a big deal, because it's so expensive it's a dead end. The problem has always been making human space flight cheap enough that it can lead to activities with positive return. The Apollo and Shuttle eras failed in that respect. SLS, by not reducing launch costs, continues in that sad and aggravating tradition.
This kind of signaling is the reason why I ended up voluntarily with no friends in my mid 30s, down from a pretty active social life in my 20s knowing hundreds of people and regularly hanging out with many dozens, mostly in the Bay Area but also in Europe, where I’m originally from.

As people get older, I noticed they just can’t stop flashing how successful they are, how they can afford this or that, and suddenly everything becomes a financial/status competition. People becoming small contract freelancers and flaunting to you how they are now “CEO and entrepreneur, what about you?”. One time, after a lucky IPO having been at the company for less than 2 years, I was told by a friend who was typically present in my weekly social life, and with whom I shared a lot of fun experiences in my 20s: “why do you work so hard rather than choosing a good pre IPO company and stay at the bottom and chill and retire in a couple years?”. No shit. That was the last straw. I voted with my feet and I am overall happier in a life of solitude.
This message is 20 years old. Many of us long for the utopia of a Linux desktop that just works, where drivers are up to date and X windows doesn't die due to a yum/apt-get update.

I enjoyed listening to and being a guest on Running in Production, and I'm sorry to hear you see the podcast as a failure.

One difference I notice between Running in Production and some other podcasts that are popping up in this thread (e.g., CoRecursive, Darknet Diaries, Lex Fridman) is that those podcasts focus on people and stories, whereas Running in Production focused more on technology.

After writing my blog for several years, I noticed a pattern in that the majority of my popular posts were stories from my life rather than technical posts about a particular technology. The stories were highly related to technology, but they usually made sense to people who knew nothing about the technology.

Even for fans of the podcast, I think the narrowness in topics means that not all fans of Running in Production are a match for most episodes. Comparing it to the Indie Hackers podcast, I'd listen to any episode of IH if the guest sounds interesting because there are a lot of potential things they can say that might be useful to me. Because Running in Production is more narrowly about tech stacks, the percentage of episodes that are relevant to me is much smaller. I'd be interested in hearing about someone talk about their Flask stack because that's what I use in my business, but if the guest is talking about Elixir or Ruby, I'm unlikely to learn anything useful since I don't use or plan to use those technologies.
> Sure, there will always be certain business applications that refuse to work on anything but actual Windows

I disagree with this statement, especially in the case where there's somebody motivated enough to patch Wine to support specific applications.

At the end of the day, Windows applications expect a set of interfaces. As long as those interfaces exist and work as expected, the application will work.

I don't think Git wire format changes all that often and old clients work with new servers just fine so I don't think that would be a problem.

> But the larger elephant in the room for any such effort is that Fossil's mental model is, by choice, way different from git.

How? I've been glancing at docs but I don't see much difference, still a DAG of commits that are named after its hash like almost every other DVCS

From onlooker perspective the killer feature seems to be integration with project management tools vs "just" being a VCS
Sounds like something a robot would say.
Yep that guy, except I suggest reading his actual work instead of basing your thinking on what someone else thought he thought.
To a first approximation, space is a vacuum.

Most of the second approximation is hydrogen not helium.

Yes proportionally, there’s a fair bit of helium but most of what’s there is nothing.
Why would you compare C#/pwsh PCRE with somethign that is not PCRE and hence has different features. Compare with rg that has --pcre option set if you want to get real comparison.
Or less popular, because there is now a greater risk of your 4chan comments being associated with your other online identities.

There may be some additional safety in conforming to the local "memespeak" dialect, and not using that dialect elsewhere.
Hmm, "evanescant" seems wrong...
sure enough, that's an obscure Latin word, vs intended "evanescent" (~synonymous w/ "ephemeral", ie soon-disappearing).

PS comment is in spirit of knowlege-sharing not pedantry. :)
I think English is peculiar in the sense that tons of people use it as a second language, and there are also many local variants that sound quite different. As a result, I feel that English is a more flexible language than let say French.

I wonder how often English native speakers here on HN feel that some comments aren't clear or odd-sounding due to approximative English. It's something I barely have experience of in my native language, as there are comparatively fewer foreigner speakers. And when reading HN comments, I'm mostly incapable of guessing the origin of the commenter (with a few exceptions).

I feel like many users do care but are not comfortable enough with technology to realize they can turn some of this stuff off, or they aren’t comfortable with switching operating systems - much less installing Linux.

I can’t tell you how many people I encounter who don’t realize AdBlockers are something they can install. Once I get uBlockOrigin set up for them they tell me it is a night and day difference. Such technologies have been available for years but they either never realized it was an option, or thought it required some hackerman level of configuration to make it work.
If the tapes are really degraded, state of the art is to digitize them once and do that run as good as possible.

Stuck tapes sometimes are stuck because of moisture. In that case, the tapes are "baked" at a certain temperature to get the moisture out. If the tapes are in really bad condition, you get only one chance to capture what's on them, but the flip side is that one run can be of pretty high quality.

Edit: if your tapes are DV or Digital-8, get a camera with firewire out.

If your tapes are Hi8 analog, get a digital-8 camera which can play analog tapes with firewire out. You won't get a better quality without going the VHS-Decode way.

If none of that is an option, get a decent composite to HDMI converter, than capture the HDMI from that into a PC with a HDMI ripper.

Or one of those "HDMI to SD card" rippers floating around.
As always, context is everything.

Not all countersignals are that costly. For example, casual wear is common among devs. This signals that our skill set is valuable enough that we don't need to comply with corporate dress codes. Sometimes someone from a poor background turns up in a suit - for example, we had a QA guy who did, having converted from some previous career via a short course. Sometimes new grads come to interview in one, having been poorly informed by their parents or whatever. Continuing to wear different dress to your colleagues just makes them uncomfortable and doesn't help you, even if your skill set is not yet that valuable.

The more general piece of advice here is that you should take advice from those who have just succeeded at what you want to do, not someone who did so a decade or more ago (parental career advice is usually well out of date. For example, my parents imagined that an academic career was still the easier option)
As a developer I tried Linux for 1 year (no dual boot). It was such traumatic experience, that I would never repeat it again.
Oh, yes, I am definitely on the hardware synthesizer UX train.

Never did a security audit, but I did regulatory and financial audits of banks. Most of our work involved looking at last year's work, re-performing it and changing dates. Writing reports + financial statement notes followed a similar process.

Exceptions are immediately escalated to the audit committee and sometimes end up as a small footnote in the public reports. Most of the time it says "we were unable to collect sufficient evidence" to provide assurance. Almost never "this was done wrong".

It's interesting to see how the second report differed from their first assessment earlier in the year:
https://research.nccgroup.com/2021/04/08/public-report-vpn-b...

Most of the findings in the first report were "Fixed".

It's pronounced as 'Freid' but spelled as 'Fried', as in "the bankman got fried" (being held over the coals.) That's how I remember it.
Obviously your software should present dates in a locale-aware manner, just as it should (where possible) present localised text. But if it's anti-American signalling to expect reference documentation and technical features for non-localised systems (such as the Go programming language) to use the internationally accepted standards for the presentation of non-localised data, then… sure, I guess I'm happy to signal anti-American?

But I am one of Those People who goes around $WORK's internal wiki (which has users in the USA and GB) telling people off for failing to use 8601 in their meeting minutes, so perhaps take with a pinch of salt.

If everyday citizens cannot be trusted to tell truth from fiction, or to choose democracy over fascism, how can they be trusted to elect their rulers? Why believe in democracy at all?

And while I believe wealth disparity, healthcare, and fascism are all real, sadly neglected problems in the United States, I would strongly caution you against hyperbolic criticisms. You should reflect on what you think of when you think 'banana republic', and in what ways day to day life for the average citizen of the United States are comparable to say, the average citizen of Zambia.
You seem to be in denial that this phenomenon exists. I’d suggest reading _The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are._ Quite insightful. Status matters more than you’re letting on, and the perception of it is subconscious. No one (hopefully) is actively making an effort to look down on someone for riding their bike to their job at Pizza Hut - but many subtle things get registered by humans around us every day whether you or they are aware of it.
How are they going to be banned?

Or are we just talking about banning the lame “durr, I asked cGPT and here’s what it said” responses? Those get downvoted anyway because they got boring real fast, especially since cGPT is free and open to all.
Thing is you're never going to beat the lift/drag ratio of a cargo ship doing that. Cargo ships already play the slow but chonky game. The only limits to their size is space at the ports and the number containers that can be loaded/off-loaded per day.

Technically you could build an airship that only uses power to get into a jet stream then floats across the Atlantic on the wind saving tons of fuel, but then you've reinvented a sailboat in the sky and the buoyant force of water always beats that of air. So you might as well put your cargo in an actual sailboat and get there faster (see ocean currents v wind above them) without needing to "fuel" the thing with hydrogen or helium.

This is just one example of the cross-section we can't escape. It is as tyrannical as the rocket equation is to space travel. For anything to be a viable transport, it needs to go faster, use less fuel, or carry more cargo than other modes of transport.

I like http://public.mitosispictures.com/fluorescent-mitosis.html It looks like a "fake" image, but I studied enough biology for a side project a few years ago to think it's real. (To be 200% clear, I think it's real.) Anyway, the reference of license of that image is strange.

I've never spoken to anybody in management at NCC about why they fired you, but your coworkers have told stories about it, and I'm not sure you want the conversation you're asking to have. It is not the same story you tell.

I don't know why you're shocked at the number of times I "showed up" at the NCC Chicago office. I'll say it again: you and I never worked together. NCC hired you several months after I left. I know this because I still have the email thread of you asking me about the interview process. How often do you show up at ex-employer offices?

Wally was, at the time, your line manager at NCC. You get what a line manager is, right? Nobody was seriously asking Wally for the rights to anything, but I have no trouble believing you have trouble interpreting a joke.

You just claimed, a comment earlier, that NCC engagements were "a week, max". I stand by my previous comment. I have better information, and you have weird information. If your personal experience of NCC was a back-to-back sequence of 2-day projects, you were put in some strange back-bench situation.

I left Matasano and almost immediately started another consultancy, and I'll said it again: unless things have drastically changed since 2020, when I left for Fly.io, the modal pentest engagement is 3 person-weeks, not 2 days. People do not in fact spend 50% of their time writing reports.

We can compare notes if you like, but I don't think it's going to make you any happier to do so.

A moment later

I'm just sitting here thinking about this and your claim about documentation is even more risible than I had realized. By the time you were working at NCC, documentation was almost fully automated; we had the whole team working with Litany of Failure, our docgen system. Litany became such a big deal after I left that a year ago, at someone's going-away party, Erin and I got pins, which they'd made for everyone who worked on it. You were sure as shit using it in 2014.

By the time you were working at NCC, the experience of documenting a pentest was filing bugs in a bug tracker that autogenerated descriptions of things like XSS, and then pushing a button to have a PDF pop up.

50% of your time. Give me a break.
Maybe due to Apple acts in/wrt. China.

People somehow end up thinking Apple cares deeply about their private but AFIK Apple only cares about privacy because it makes them money. Or more specifically the
image it creates helps them in selling phones.But the
moment the _long term_ cost outweighs the benefits they
also have shown to bail. (I highlighted long terms because there had been case where short term it was more expensive because it e.g. involved legal cases, but especially this legal cases are a grate image profit form them as people will use it like "don't worry see they didn't even brake their security to help the police with <insert arrested very bad person>").

Now that doesn't mean Apple is bad to some degree it's a win win for the user: They get better privacy and Apple gets more users. But it doesn't mean you can fully trust Apple (or IMHO any Company).
Why not just get rid of all redundant systems. One of everything on the plane instead of two
Non-programmers aren't going to want any CLI version control, and git-cola plus meld is perfectly fine for simple use cases as long as nobody force pushes or uses a submodule or something like that.

Although usually what seems to happen is people only use one linear history and never branch anything. I'm not sure if that's because Git is hard, or just because nobody wants to learn about branches and stuff in any system if they don't have to.

In any case it works perfectly fine and is an amazing step up compared to no VCS.
Hasura's migrations are one of my favorite features. I wish they would actually abstract it out as stand-alone.
You are right. I have now binged 2/3 of PLAI. It is really nice in how it draws the landscape of programming languges and how they work. It of course also has an advantage being a newer book, programming languages and their theory have progressed quite a lot since writing of SICP.

Also it is some how pedagogically really nice, very approachable and readable.
