You'd still have peer review, but in a very different sense. Instead of a formal process by 3 reviewers, you'd have an informal process by everyone who read the paper. People would read your dumb 1+1=3 paper, realize that it was wrong, ignore it, and pay less attention to you in the future.
https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/... is a relevant FAA regulation.

US civilian aviation rules require that an on-craft transponder emit altitude and location information so that other craft can avoid collisions. Obviously, this makes aircraft more vulnerable to surface to air missiles. Thankfully, that's a vanishingly remote threat, so the FAA has decided that valuing collision avoidance over missile evasion is the correct set of priorities. I don't know how this would work in situations where surface to air missiles are a real threat, but I would guess military aircraft only follow civilian rules when it doesn't compromise their mission.

As far as "the entire universe knowing," I think the relevant legal principle at play is that there's no expectation of privacy associated with flying a private aircraft (for the reasons stated above). Airpsace is a shared, national security-sensitive resource, civilian regulators get to set the rules governing use.
No. FAANG interviews are mostly about filtering very large candidate pools efficiently and getting good enough engineers out at the end.

The job is much more architecture/design, creating API contracts, understanding the health of systems in many different ways, measuring impact of changes, etc. Regular engineering stuff at big scale. Obviously there’s plenty of coding too, but it’s not really the important part of the job, and already has a ton of automation for boilerplate.

I imagine that the automation will just improve another step change, there will be more need for review and guidance of the AI algorithms and the engineers will do more of this. And interviews will involve in some way.

Firmware for Matter is going to be enormous, zwave is a lot simpler. Lots of pessimism in the market about the interoperability of Matter. No mfgr is going to be motivated to encourage their customers to interoperate with a competitors gadget. My prediction is everything will ship with a "matter" icon on it, but support will only be vertical silo, maybe even worse than things are now.

Thread is basically a full wifi-ish TCP/IPv6 stack, so, again, pretty huge compared to a tiny little zwave firmware.

Interesting angle to think about: Is the middle or end of a chip shortage the worst possible time to ship a HUGE new standard, or is it the best possible time because there's no stockpile of smaller memory smaller CPU legacy microcontrollers?
> One of the RoR vulnerabilities is connected to Mass assignment capabilities, which enables attackers to alter values in database columns and create new records in tables. But seasoned ROR developers can easily minimize risks in that case.

This hasn't been the case for some time. By default, you can't pass in raw parameters from a request in a controller into a model. You have to either allow-list specific fields or create a hash from the parameters.

You have to intentionally bypass this security feature to get a vulnerability.

Recommend using brakeman to catch these kinds of mistakes. :)

Exactly. We don't have virtual reality at all. We have virtual remote viewing with sound.

We are basically at the Eliza stage of VR with a bunch of people pretending Eliza is not that far from passing the Turing Test.

Once we have virtual skin sensation and virtual physical movement there is no intellectual debate about any of this. Just instruction tutorials about how to have the experience because no marketing needed.

Once we have this I can think of far more interesting things than swimming around in the Avatar movie.

Ugh. Close to half the bugs I’ve chased in Perl in the last 10 years are encode/decode string bugs (or more specifically, the lack of doing encode/decode where necessary). After just one ‘downgrade_utf8()’ use, you get sick of Perl pretty fast.
I am literally responding directly to what you wrote in the way that you wrote it. My counter claim to your initial point is that candidates will be able to use said AI in competitive programming interviews to fool the interviewer by the interviewee, thereby making competitive programming pointless as an interview tool. It automates it for the interviewee, not the interviewer.

This is such a weird article.

Ostensibly, it's about Bluesky, but it spends most of its length on deriding Mastodon, seemingly with other people's hearsay and tweets as the only source of (mis)information on the matter.

It doesn't seem to say much about Bluesky itself, other than marketing blurb bullet points and praise to the fame of the people behind it. It doesn't seem to me like the author knows what Bluesky is. I certainly can't figure it out myself. It all reads like a "web3" "whitepaper", except I can't figure out what token it is I'm supposed to hodl.

But hey, whatever Bluesky is, it must be better than Mastodon, because a bunch of random people, who have never used Mastodon and have no knowledge of how it works, misread the documentation, freaked themselves out on their own misunderstandings, and tweeted scary words about it. How sad.

Honestly all of this applies to Django as much as Rails. Their comment "Django does not support full stack development" is incorrect. I know what they mean, they mean "does not come with JS out of the box".

Django is frontend agnostic so you can use whatever flavor of the month you like. (For better or worse hahaha)

Update: To be clear, I think Rails is a fine choice. I just don't think there is much of a reason to use it over Django these days unless you already know Ruby and don't know Python.
in my experience they both take dumb routes. I still long for options like avoiding left hand turns (especially unprotected turns), very short merges (frequently end up with silly routes that have you cross four lanes of heavy traffic). The other issue I have is everyone seems to over-optimize the travel time. I don't care if taking a different route could save me two minutes. If it's nothing but stop lights thats not helpful. Tesla has a neat feature where you can tell it how many minutes an alternative route needs to save before it suggests it. Obviously if a route is going to save me 20 minutes then sure, thats probably worth it.

The other thing that I've been thinking about is how dangerous these directions can be in areas that get bad weather. I've had both Apple and Google try to direct me to take a very steep hill when it's icy out instead of taking the treated highway that would add five minutes to the drive. They need better understanding of road surfaces and weather.

I’d like to see them commit to free map updates for the navigation systems preinstalled in many vehicles. Every car I’ve owned in the past 18 years has used TomTom maps, and has charged for annual map updates. In the last 12 years, you’ve just downloaded them onto a USB drive and your head unit recognized the data. The download data seems to be encrypted, and sometimes even vehicle-specific. My guess is the vehicle specific data is to account for features related to physical buttons on the head unit, GPS antenna input, and signals used for dead-reckoning.
the added value would be decentralized and cencorship resistant.

From a young age I've combed the shelves at public libraries and found handbooks on battery technology.

Often 1/3 of the book is devoted to ordinary batteries and the other 2/3 are devoted to "reserve batteries" which are able to deliver a high power density for a short time to power a missile or something like that. There was a huge amount of research on those and I think it's easier to make a battery work if it doesn't have to last very long.

NiMH batteries seemed to come out of nowhere. I remember Sony licensing the technology for "InfoLithium" batteries that eventually took over the world.

The market for batteries is bigger than it ever was. Grid scale batteries relax many constraints: molten salt batteries might be practical there. The South Africans thought this kind of battery might be relevant for cars in the late 1970's and 1980's

Supabase Wrappers: A framework for building Postgres foreign data wrappers
I fear this will eventually shift a large chunk our time from coding to meeting.
I'm using this in Stylish, a CSS manager browser extension:

/* Substack modals, nags, etc. */

[class*="frontend-components-SubscribePrompt"] {
display: none;
}

Saved as "Substack" and applied to any page/domain which uses Substack.

Otherwise, for UBO, these two should work:

###.frontend-components-SubscribePrompt-module__subscribeDialog--2_6UY.frontend-pencraft-FlexBox-module__flex-align-center--21WCV.frontend-pencraft-FlexBox-module__flex-direction-column--2sph3.frontend-pencraft-FlexBox-module__flex--fK-9V
###.frontend-components-SubscribePrompt-module__background--2DQPj

I suspect Substack vary their element names (e.g., the "2_6UY" and "2DQPj" strings in the above list), so that substring matches as I've used in my CSS example should be more robust.

UBO uses the Easylist blocking syntax which ... I can't seem to find documented, so I'm guessing as to the specific patterns. Corrections/clues welcomed.

Fan of Mr.Schopenhauer, but unsure if this quote provides grounding for your objective moral imperative. This only says that actions derived from compassion are the only actions that have moral value. No explanation of why that is the case nor does it create a necessity for moral action.

From the Schopenhauer perspective, the 'right' answer if I recall correctly is to embrace asceticism. To deny the will.
And how many things did you find that were incorrect in the peer review?

That seems to be the point that the anti-peer review people are missing.
It's because they'll have your order at your door next day for an extremely reasonable cost of shipping. Nobody excels at pick, pack, and ship like McMaster-Carr.

Where they can be a little tough is searching for things you don't know the exact name for. I needed screws that have a smooth section to run through a bushing with a fairly tight tolerance. You know: turns freely but doesn't rattle. I spent hours looking until I finally found what I was looking for (shoulder screws).
This is a good thing IMO often you need a part right away. McMaster sends before they worry about you paying for it. They are a really solid company. I order from them whenever I can.
For starters we know that a lot of money is spent on it in terms of getting the end results. As you say the peer review is done by volunteers, but the final product is then sold back to those same reviewers (or their institutions) for an insane markup.

> or perhaps they believe that peer review is a valuable use of their time.

Or perhaps they believe that if they don’t do that work then bad papers will be published under the authoritative rubber stamp of the journals and that they will not need to spend the same amount of time down the road finding out if/how the fascinating study is wrong after having paid 40$ for the pdf.
Some would say is neither evidence nor logic.
Looks like more blogspam intended to snipe search results for "is rails dead". Rails is still great and will still be great for many years.

This was one of many similar gambles. That book stressed how most key events of the war were done right before Germany ran out of one thing or another: foreign currency, steel, oil, alloys.

Medusa is a headless API, so you are free to consume it from wherever you want whether it be a React-based storefront, a C# backend, or something third - there's really no limitations.

But the source code of the open-source project is written in Node.js, so if you looking to contribute, you are forced to write JS.

Re SDKs, there's an official JS SDK and a community-led Flutter SDK - that I know of. The former can be found in the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/tree/master/packages/medu...

I'm pretty sure you can still do Fn+up/down/left/right to get PgUp/PgDn/Home/End. They just might not label it anymore. I don't think Apple ever had those keys on laptops. Prior to them adding the Fn key I don't think they even had a way to get them.
Then you give up any chance of playing what I'd call "modern multiplayer games" for (presumably) decades, so that maybe a different generation can get better games.

A noble cause, but no thanks I think I'd rather just feed the greedy companies and play some games then.

Unless of course you can enjoy some other game almost as much, then it's a small sacrifice to stick it to the greedy companies. But I'm not enjoying indie or retro games much at all.

Than your purview of 'charitable' work includes coaxing Oxford to not open source vaccines to the developing World in order or profit from the largess that big pharama reaped during the pandemic [0] and subsequently caused a lot of unnecessary deaths? That isn't even including their aggressive consolidation of arable farm land in the US with clear ties to large pharma and chemical corps under the auspices of their foundation and ties to the WHO.

And I'm not even going to delve into the Epstein relationship Bill had which included trips to pedophile island.

If so, you should really look into what you deem as 'charitable work' tbh.

> Remember the days when the server component was included with the base game? Anyone could launch a server and play with friends and strangers online. I miss those days.

I hear you, but several of the games in this particular announcement seem like they're from that era:

* Unreal Gold
* Unreal II: The Awakening
* Unreal Tournament 2003
* Unreal Tournament 2004
* Unreal Tournament 3
* Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition

IIRC, back then the games usually shipped with the server component and all servers were run by players, and the publisher only ran a simple directory server.

Since those directory servers were so simple, I think I seen cases where someone cloned them, then batched the binary to just to go a different address for the directory.

> As far as I know no one else offers this, definitely not at the scale McMaster's dataset offers.

As an industrial engineer, most of my vendors offer this. I can get 3D CAD for robot arms, grippers, IO blocks, motors, cameras, enclosures, valves, cylinders, and just about everything else that goes in my machines. However, you're right that these don't have the same scale that McMaster does; they're selling the huge variety of nuts and bolts that bring these separate vendors together.

One of the underrated parts of this kind of CAD offering is that you can test out 3D printed parts directly from their CAD. Not sure if you're accurately understanding their otherwise very helpful documentation on the gear modulus of that thousand dollar hardened, ground steel rack-and-pinion? Download the step file and print it in a few bucks of PLA. No, it won't actually be strong enough to move that 3-ton casting even once, but you can trivially check that the meshing works as you expect.

I’m not seeing the great insight here. From my reading, it sounds like the author is saying something akin to; when performing some IO task like fetching line items from an order it is better to fetch all the line items at once related to the order than it is to fetch the order and then fetching each of its related line items in a loop. Incidentally, this is why I advocate for SQL in application code or the use of stored procedures. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen the latter example when ORMs were used.

hey hn, supabase ceo here

this one might be more in of a “Show HN” because it’s a pre-release - something that you might want to try yourself or contribute to. The GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/supabase/wrappers

For context, Postgres has Foreign Data Wrappers (FDW) [0]. These allow you to connect one Postgres database to another, and then query the secondary database directly in the first.

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE other_database_table (
id integer,
title text
)
SERVER other_database;

The data does not need to be “moved” to the primary database - it stays in the secondary and is fetched when you run a select query:

select * from other_database_table;

Our release today is a framework which extends this functionality to other databases/systems. If you’re familiar with Multicorn[1] or Steampipe[2], then it’s very similar. The framework is written in Rust, using the excellent pgx[3].

We have developed FDWs for Stripe, Firebase, BigQuery, Clickhouse, and Airtable - all in various pre-release states. We'll focus on the systems we’re using internally while we stabalize the framework.

There’s a lot in the blog post into our goals for this release. It’s early, but one of the things I’m most excited about.

Even fresh water needs to be filtered before running it through the electrolysis. But yes, part of the problem with electrolysis is the power cost compared to current "blue" hydrogen, which is decarbonated natural gas. Some of the better places to get electricity though have been places with little fresh water, so being able use saltwater instead helps with this idea.
