> We actually had chat interoperability between all the major social networks

No we didn't - XMPP is a federated protocol & none of the major networks ever supported federation. The XMPP protocol came with a lot of decently implemented open source packages that helped those companies get their chat systems off the ground & to a point where they could lock them in. Supporting federation from the beginning would've made that lock in much more difficult, so it wasn't in their interest. i.e. a capitalist disincentive.

Capitalism is the problem, you're just doing your best to find excuses for it elsewhere.

Not necessarily.

Using a platform is the best way to go if the platform fits your needs.

I'm guessing that you already suspect that your use case might not fit what Stripe or Recurly or other platform vendors offer. It might be tempting to build your own, but....

Read this: Billing systems are harder to build than anyone ever thinks

https://www.getlago.com/blog/why-billing-systems-are-a-night...

There is another way. Simplify your use case so that it does fit one of the platforms. Reduce some features, or change the complexity of your billing setup. It may seem counterintuitive, but often this is the way to go.

You don't need a custom kitchen if one of the IKEA cabinets does not fit in the corner. It may be better to go with IKEA after all, and leave the corner without a cabinet.

I would suspect that the problem is more difficult than you make it out to be. First, Mars is very windy/dusty. Second, there is no water so brushing dust is harder than on earth. Add in the increased static cling and dust ingress into the motors and it is not clear to me that brushing is actually viable on mars without a lot of extra engineering (and teams to figure all this out). I’m sure this decision was made with a good e evaluation since they did make the choice to add more panels which has its own downsides. There might even be some interesting papers out ther.

>Would it be ok if I came and took stuff you physically made 20-years ago and say it's ok - you made it 20-years ago.

Yes. I would be thrilled if anything I made had enough cultural value after 20 years that the commons still had a use for it. Better that than, say, a publisher deciding it no longer has market value and simply never printing any more and pulping the rest.

And as far as the publishers getting paid, the publishers are always getting paid. You signed away part of your rights to them to begin with, and if they couldn't get paid, they wouldn't publish your work to begin with. You've already decided they have the right to profit from your work, what's under debate is how long anyone else has to wait to do the same.

>I'm not sure where your question comes from.

It comes from your assertion that "Private parties can't demand ID." That was your claim. I'm saying that as far as I know private parties absolutely CAN demand ID. Including for "routine transactions". And if you don't cooperate then you don't get to do the transaction.

You seem to have just completely reversed yourself with this post so now in turn I'm not clear on what your first one was for. If you were somehow conflating "demand" with criminal penalties or force then that's a weird reading, and also this entire discussion is purely about a business transaction. They didn't arrest her, they "jsut" didn't honor her ticket and booted her, which is what people are (reasonably IMO) concerned/upset about. But refusing to show ID wouldn't have helped with that quite the contrary, even places with zero such tech may require identity verification for a transaction and ID is the only widely existing low friction way to do that.

True he is a war criminal and probably an awful person in most ways. That does not mean his understanding of the situation is incorrect. And I can’t disagree with most of what he’s saying from an utilitarian point of view.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you per se, but I do think these “EV-lite” type analyses are too broad: environmentally conscious people may be more likely to have children who are environmentally conscious, work on climate engineering, &c.

That’s not to say that we should encourage them specifically to have children either; just that children represent potential in a way that the number of bunker-fuel cargo ships does not.

> just like original arduinos are.

"Original" Arduino on the ATMega8 is fully obsolete and should be moved off of. Fortunately, it wasn't that popular.

"Arduino Uno" (which popularized the Maker movement in 2010) with ATMega328 is also obsolete. You should use ATMega328pb at a minimum (but even then, the 328pb is nearly a decade old now...), or really the AVR DD chips that are cheaper, faster, simpler, more powerful. Ex: AVR64DD32

To explain how absurd it is... the AVR64DD32 uses 4.7mA at 24MHz fully active.

In contrast, the old ATmega328 uses 12mA at 20MHz (its limit), and 3.5mA while idle (aka: 1st level of sleep).

So an idle (1st sleep) ATmega328 uses basically the same power at a fully active AVR64DD32. Indeed, AVR64DD32 only uses 500uA (microAmps) at 4MHz fully active, so it can "busy loop" with less power than a sleeping ATmega328.

AVR64DD32 costs $1.67 at lot size 1 from Digikey. ATmega328 costs $2.73 for lot size 1 from Digikey.

ATmega328 comes with 32kB of Flash and 2kB of RAM. AVR64DD32 comes with 64kB of Flash and 8kB of RAM. It completely dominates the older chip in every possible regards.

------

Original Arduino Uno is still a great learning tool. But there have been over 10+ years of improvements to these chips. Anyone actually dipping down into AVR programming should prefer the newest chips.

IMO, Arduino Uno should be seen as a learning tool. Fortunately, all of the stuff (ex: Assembly language, sleep modes, etc. etc.) still apply to the AVR64DD32. The peripherals have changed though... USART rather than UART. DAC included, OpAmps in AVR64DB32, etc. etc. Integrated dual-power supply on AVR DD chips (PortC can be on a 2nd voltage level, so its basically an integrated level-shifter). Full 24MHz speed at 1.8V (ATMega328 has this annoying "derating" curve, where 1.8V can only handle 4MHz).

But no one should be using ATmega328 in new "serious" designs. Its just "still" useful because all of those old tutorials from 10 years ago still work today. So it has the most tutorials written for it, and should remain "steady" as a learning platform.

But anyone taking the next step (learning the actual chip, learning how to solder, learning how to breadboard), needs to switch to the newest chips. The newest stuff is just cheaper, faster, and easier in practice. And still _mostly_ compatible with the old ATMega328 (same assembly language. A superset of the features. Similar concepts in layout / design, etc. etc)

Sampras was a great player, but I never really liked his style of play. As a baseliner, I far preferred Courier and Agassi. As a serve and volley player, I far preferred Edberg and Rafter. Maybe it's unfair to compare him to the best of given styles since he was competent all around.

Agassi, though he's careful to give Sampras his due as an opponent, has some very interesting observations about him as a person in the book.
The paper for the FFHE:

Note that in my extensive testing specific lenses and cameras tend to make broad, random changes to the output unless they tend to have a specific aesthetic associated with them.

E.g. 85mm vs 24mm make no specific changes to a photo. SD appears to just interpret these as "make a photo look realistic", and any changes to the photo as you switch between them are simply incidental.

These vendors are probably solving the problem of letting you automate your billing and invoicing process without developing your own system.

As you said earlier, there's already a lot of Ask HN about this.
So a solution does exist.

I take your point that on the other hand it may require a lot of input on my part into an already existing program.

For example, if you were going from project to project as a developer - you would probably be doing your own system. And if as a project manager - you would look for an existing solution on the market, hoping to reduce development costs))

This article has nothing to do with how crypto exchanges make money. They make money from trading fees. Let's say your claim about wash trades is true, why wouldn't the exchange make money from those fake trades?

To answer GPs question, legit exchanges do spend a lot of money and effort on keeping user's assets secure so it's maybe not as easy as it seems. But in the case of FTX, I totally agree. FTX was like 2nd or 3rd highest volume exchange and could have been a highly profitable business on it's own. Only SBF knows the answer to why that wasn't enough.
Yep, it’s actually kinda disappointing how seemingly nobody saw this coming and years of legal effort went into a law that will have very little practical effect except making companies shuffle things around and then continue business as usual.

Ask HN: Where to find performance engineering work?
I am a professional who, over the past decade, transitioned between software engineer, tech lead, devops and engineering manager. None of these roles are fully enjoyable to me anymore, for different reasons (happy to elaborate if needed). Currently at a FAANG in a senior tech lead SWE role, in what a lot of people would call a pretty good role, but I still don’t like it.

What I like doing is complex performance-related troubleshooting and investigations. Think about bugs or performance issues that might take multiple weeks to solve and require going across the stack, from adding some kernel instrumentation to verify some hypothesis, to understanding exactly how a distributed database is storing data and why it is slow (by reading, tracing and understanding its code), and clearly plenty of debugging on the various applications that drive these systems (contention issues, race conditions, memory leaks, concurrency bottlenecks, …). The acceptance criteria would be me fixing the issue, or writing an extensive report advising someone else on how to fix it. An example of this would be the stories posted by Brendan Gregg on his website.

In my experience, the majority of professionals I work with find the above problems tedious, whereas I tend to be very interested in such challenges. When I find a good one I’m attracted to it like a magnet and the hours just fly, I feel like I’m learning at massive speed compared to if I were to write code for a feature.

Where do I find work like this full time, and not just a task people expect me to occasionally do while still having to deliver major pieces of new software as the main job? Which companies/roles? Is there an opportunity to set up a consultancy path?

To be clear I’m not talking about SRE / DevOps, at least not what it typically means in Silicon Valley companies these days: I have a lot of respect for the role, but maintaining YAML and alerts ain’t my thing.
IAM on GitHub needs so much <3. So broad, much ow.

For example, I trialed major security vendor's enterprise product. They required their app be granted Admin on the GitHub org. All they needed to do was create issues, PRs, and read source code for analysis. There are scopes for that.

I was eventually on a call with a principle engineer in this company, who kept saying they needed this permissions, and I kept showing him the API docs that showed that wasn't so. Eventually he said, "well, we won't _use_ all those permissions, so just give them to us anyway, because it's easier this way." Sure, I'll give you the ability to change all my code, add/remove users, drop repos... etc, and trust that some day, when you're hacked, someone will not use those over granted permissions maliciously?

Security is hard. Be careful what permissions you give your 3rd party GitHub integrations.

Yeah; I think naming the companies is actually fine — it does add something, in the sense that: if these weren't companies I'd heard of, why would I care at all about this story?

But identifying individuals is... well, even though I don't actually think there is anything wrong with it, it's definitely not something you should expect to be consequence-free.

Even if the consequences are mainly just potential employers in the future googling you with kagi.com and being somewhat put off by the sense that hmm this person seems inclined to share too much

That's real, but if you don't care about that, then this kind of post is probably interesting and useful to those who aren't in a position to not care about that.
