Re: Your last point: If we test for understanding instead of facts, that is much more expensive to test for (as it cannot be automated... yet).

> The simplest change that we can make, as a consumer of these potato-shaped APIs, is to submit them in parallel.

This is also a good way to check if their back-end code is free of race conditions, and after pointing out strange problems get a note from their developers that you should not send multiple concurrent requests to their REST API.

Been there, done that, with a huge vendor for, well, accounting software.

I don’t See them as a serious business. When the four major engine producers are all not on board there just isn’t anything technologically advanced out there. Engine development is very expensive.
> The Symphony engine will be designed from scratch by Boom’s partners: Florida Turbine Technologies (a subsidiary of Kratos) will do the engine design proper, GE Additive will consult on manufacturing, and StandardAero will be on maintenance duty. (FTA)

They're (Boom) not the ones designing it. Kratos Turbine Technologies has made turbopumps for liquid rockets so they're well placed to do this work.

The hard part is making the rotors which I bet is why GE is involved.
So what the author is suggesting is basically improving cache locality using linear data structures. Use data structures that fits your CPU/GPU. Use algorithms that make good use of your CPU/GPU... Add branch prediction and good memory alignment to reduce page faults to the mix and you have the A, B, C of data-oriented design.

Now, in order to apply this ideas to a higher level of design, i.e communication between microservices, we need to apply the same principles. Reduce expensive calls by sending all data required to a function at the same time, let the backend do the work, precompute/prefetch data that will make work easier later...

Good advice in general. For me the highlight is that this approach can only be applied when we design and adapt our microservices to our computational needs instead of business. I still see a lot of gurus giving talks about splitting microservices in "business needs" and saying that anything else is a bad practice. Hold on, there is no silver bullet in engineering. Maybe the business logic is easy to understand, but this system design will make the system impossible (yes) to optimize in the future without a full re-write. And the same idea applies to low level design. Everything is a trade-off.

My approach is to design the public API following domain/business principles so it's easy to understand and implement. A la DDD and others if you want to call them something. But I want my backend to be flexible and designed around the REAL engineering requirements. If my `/api/foo/bar` is an async batch process that needs to be cached and my `/api/foo/baz` is a complex sync process, then `bar` and `baz` are two completely monsters. I don't want to have a `foo` service to handle both use cases. Having a `foo` service just because it's a business concept will cost you hours and money.
I mean fuck I just did it without meaning to. I literally just confronted my own dad for being abusive 6 months ago and he still speaks to me as if I get where his anger and overreaction comes from, even though I never have and my only remaining emotional bond with him is that I remember him being kind and tender and sincere when no one else was.

Society should look after everyone. This means regardless of where people live. You shouldn't be directly on the hook for communal services that you use. You solve inequality with taxation.
The quality of the discussion here in this thread is just pathetic. Dang is this what HN has become?
It won't be his downfall. He still owns SpaceX, which is starting to become very influential. He still owns a large part (though less than he used to) of Tesla. If (when) Twitter crashes and burns, he will get sucked further into his dark abyss and I expect he will become the next Thiel / Koch and use his money to fuck the US political system even more than he's already doing.

The health service application my doctors use, MyChart powered by Epic has that functionality. I get the option of using SMS or email, and I think they allow email because it's information the doctor's office confirms when I visit. I can imagine 2FA being approved for emails, but only for providers that have proper 2FA for email login. Otherwise it's just pushing the problem to a different place. Maybe email 2FA isn't used because email that doesn't enforce it for email login can't be assume to have it.

I don't think there's a way to allow recovery based on only information because then recovery become the primary method to take control of your account. Once you start adding limits to recovery attempts, you end up back where we already were before 2FA become popular. And what's stored in your head becomes a very easy target, especially for those less tech literate.

I really liked Facebook's idea of trusted contacts based recovery. It would allow a complete true loss of everything based on who and what you know and doesn't rely on a company having any information other than who your friends are. Which Facebook already knew since you were friends with them. Facebook's single identity model made that easy but for Gmail or Instagram it's common to have multiple that you don't check often.
It does make sense if you have a guilty conscious and think you just got caught. Giving it back eliminates the financial gain. Now there’s much less of a crime since there was no profit.

There’s also motivation to give someone money if you were honest, like trying to make them happy or go away, but it’s an expensive way to accomplish that and probably less common.
I was a treasurer for a not for profit radio station. We made the money to cover our costs through other services and we had special licensing arrangements that made it cheaper for us to broadcast.

Of course, when a right wing government got in they halved the number of frequencies available to the community and sold our frequency to a for profit who was marketing to young women and teens.

How much time was wasted in meetings to come up with "symphony" for the name of their engine.

Who gives a crap what the engine is called? Just give it a serial number and be done with.

They don’t operate only on the slow streets. They operate mostly on a large rectangle in the north of SF (basically where I live so perfect for me).
A bit like our discussion here. More standpoints can ideally be merged into a coherent, more complete picture. The key is to sort out disagreements as coming from different backgrounds and biases and everybody admitting she is not 100% right. Otherwise it is a quarrel of stubborn knowitalls that can't agree.

Fusion is hard. As hard as getting humans to agree. Been there. In both situations.

And of course you can concentrate on improving one echo chamber, err single sensor. But you can never come past its fundamental limitations.

No need for a ploy. Employment in the U.S. is at will, and this type of thing would not be enough to fire European workers.

This is the best advice in the entire discussion.

Everyone's definition of 'complicated UI' is different, as is the amount of reactivity you have in your app (e.g. when this data changes, what else in the UI needs to change?).

There is one caution I will give: try and predict where you will be in 2-5 years. 5 years ago I built an app with complicated screens server-rendered with a smattering of Vue to enhance them. We are now moving more and more of the screen into Vue because the reactivity has increased. It would've been better to decide to build _this section of the app_ in Vue from the start, though situational constraints (aka the budget) would have prevented us from doing so anyhow.
Not at all. The monolithic App Store has been terrible for users. They even impose censorship on social media apps. Having alternative stores by Meta et al is excellent. More choice, more competition, less rentseeking, more innovation.
Yeah it’s hard to prove anything, I have some friends who tell me that everyone in crypto is doing adderall or others. I’m not, but I’d be willing to believe that a much bigger percentage of people do it compared to france

From what I can tell this is an alternate motherboard firmware for retro computers. The website doesn't really explain any new features you get by using this over the manufacter provided firmware.

> Well for instance in California this is literally impossible since the law mandates that property taxes fall in real dollars in perpetuity.

No, this is not true.

You're thinking of Prop 13 which limits the increase in the assessed value of the home to 2% per year. That is true.

However, property taxes are the sum of the taxes resulting from that assessment, plus, additional local fees for all kinds of reasons. Shared maintenance of local areas is one such fee.

Where I live (in California) there is no HOA (thankfully), but the parks and trails within the neighborhood are maintained by the city from funds collected in our property taxes as a distinct line item. These fees can and do go up, they are not constrained by Prop 13 limitations since they have nothing to do with the assessed value of the home.

It's a wonderful system and completely debunks the arguments for needing a HOA.
This is very much a tangent, but that article seems to state that per mile, a sidewalk costs about twice as much as a road. Does anyone know why that is?

I sort of get what I think is your point, user behaviour here is probably modelled on what happens in a domain similar to the one under discussion.

But Apple experience has been far more constrained and it's single source with almost no prior of sideloading. They're a different set. I am less sure how any sideload in Android or install alternate marketplaces is informing, maybe it's the best information we have.
Social Blade Data Breach
Just received this E-Mail from social blade:

Social Blade Data Breach Notification
Dear Social Blade User,

We want you to be aware of an incident involving your Social Blade account information. While we believe the actual impact of this incident is minimal, we want to ensure you have the correct information and tools to keep your account secure and we believe you have a right to know what happened.

What happened

On December 14th we were notified of a potential data breach whereby an individual had acquired exports our user database and were attempting to sell it on a hacker forum. Samples were posted and we verified that they were indeed real. It appears this individual made use of a vulnerability on our website to gain access to our database.

Please be assured, the data leaked does not include any credit card information, but it does include other data that could be considered personal information. Notable pieces of information include email addresses, IP addresses, password hashes, clientids and tokens for our business API users, auth tokens for connected accounts, and many other pieces of non-personal and internal data. A very small subset of the data (about a tenth of a percent) also included addresses. While account password hashes were leaked, we have never stored your password in plain text so your password is still secure. Technically speaking, passwords are hashed using the bcrypt algorithm. The way bcrypt works is computationally slow, due to the complexity of bcrypt we’ve determined resetting everyone’s passwords was not a necessary step. To be extra safe, while not required, it wouldn’t hurt to change your password.

What we're doing

We've already addressed the method that this third-party employed to gain access to the system, and we're doing additional reviews to ensure that the security of all of our systems are further hardened to prevent future incidents. Business API users were already notified via a separate email that their auth tokens had been changed to prevent access by any third party. Users who had connected their other social media accounts whereby an auth token was stored have been cycled as well where appropriate ensuring no connected accounts are at risk.

The future

We sincerely apologize to you for any inconvenience this situation may cause. We want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to swiftly remedy this incident and prevent future incidents from occurring. We are all too aware that bad actors will continue to attempt to infiltrate IT infrastructures around the world, and rest assured we at Social Blade will never be complacent in hardening our security and defenses.

We'd also like to remind you that no one at Social Blade will ever reach out to you to ask for a password or credit card number over email. Please be vigilant of anyone contacting you claiming to be us. If in doubt reach out to our support team at https://support.socialblade.com/ .

Thank you,
The Social Blade Team

I'm a bit confused by this.

I have just checked Libs of Tiktok's Twitter feed and only found two tweets referencing Yoel Roth, one bemoaning the fact that LoTT is receiving threats and that if it were Roth it'd be national news[1], and another[2] from November the 4th flagging a tweet to him and wondering why it is still up.

Where is LoTT doxxing Roth?

As to the stuff circulating about Roth, it was all public to begin with, right? I certainly don't wish any threats to come his way but that's threats and harassment, not doxxing. Maybe I missed something.

This is what decades of two parties trying to outdo each other on being "tough on crime" looks like. These punishments do act as a deterrent to whistleblowing but that's not really why they were instituted in the first place. Prisoners are a really easy demographic to throw under the bus for political gain(not like they can vote) so you get these sorts of barbaric conditions for an ever increasing subsection of the prison population.
With this announcement, I wondered to myself which party decided to end the partnership?

It's highly probable that Rolls-Royce left the deal, and not vice versa, but the GP press release leaves that question unanswered.

If you look at the link provided by this thread’s parent you’ll see the credential database / API is encrypted, and the input is 3 bytes of the username hash.

None of what you’re describing is possible. Even if it was, it would not be as useful as you think as the only leaks in that database will be public leaks that everyone can easily find if they know where to look.

> I still see a lot of gurus giving talks (...) saying that anything else is a bad practice.

I have become very cautious when "gurus" speak about good/bad practice. My personal approach is to ask them which ultimate goal they intend to reach by that, and how their "good" practice is intended to reach that goal.

Note that I'm not asking for certainty at all, or even a high chance. Just a clear intention. More often than not, they cannot outline a path from their "good" practice to their end goal. If they can even name a goal, that is.

My favorite examples are splitting methods to reduce their size, and user story estimation (applies to both story points and man-days). No clear path to an end goal, not a single time so far.
That is correct. Still, it's enough to establish that you(linked with your driving licence/passport) have visited pornhub 37 times a day on the 12th of December. They dont' store exactly what you were doing, but obviously it's not like the public cares about that. And pornhub is a very mild example, let's say a website you visited pulled some resource from 4chan(website known to harbour terrorists and pedophiles! /s) or somewhere that sounds like it's a terrorist organisation. Or even hacker news(are you a hacker? that's illegal you know). You have no control over your DNS lookups(by default) so you don't actually know what gets written in those logs, nor have any way to inspect them.

And specifically because the logs are so crap and don't actually contain any information beyond the domain name, they can be used to infer pretty much anything the prosecutors might want to see. Otherwise, why even keep them?
DDoS is really one of the most disgusting things on the current internet because there is legitimately no way to defend yourself except to have more money than the other guy. And even that might not help, you practically have to be Google or Cloudflare to be able to fight against the largest DDoS attacks.
