Treason is a crime in Germany, too, and whether the result is politically opportune for Germany couldn't officially play a role in front of a Oberlandesgericht court when ruling on an extradition request by the US. Disclosure of spy activities certainly would be a crime if committed in Germany against Germany, so extradition for such a whistleblower would have to be stopped at the political level, which is possible, but that's not something I would want to depend on. The US could exert a lot of very painful pressure on a German government, and as the Snowden affair shows, broad public support is far from given. Might be easier to weather the scandal from giving in than the consequences of sticking to principles.
>There's also other smart people, like John Carmack, who have been converted from C to C++ and now prefer the later especially for working in a team environment. C++ is far from perfect, but there's also pretty strong arguments that it does still represent an improvement over C on average. Yet (almost) nobody argues that C was a mistake.

Agreed. Here is Wikipedia article on criticism of C++. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_C%2B%2B

The second sentence has a short list of some of the smart people who don't like it: "Among the critics have been: Robert Pike, Joshua Bloch, Linus Torvalds, Donald Knuth, Richard Stallman, and Ken Thompson". I'll leave it up to the reader to research why they criticize C++ (not C). However in the references there's a good article from Rob Pike:

Hey Peer, wanted to take a chance and say thanks (as a paying customer) for building cal.com, and doing it in public. It's been extremely helpful for me personally, I learned a lot by following your process, your handbook, and your codebase.
There’s another discussion going on about how the older layers of Windows you dig into, the more useful the UI gets, perhaps that’s the narrative they’re thinking of: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34216619

I’m inclined to agree, older UI toolkits could make plenty productive UIs. But they aren’t good at following yearly evolving design fads, and webpages tend to lean heavily toward marketing and appearances over being more utilitarian.
Glo | Remote | Full Time | Non Profit | $100k+

Glo is building a stablecoin that lifts people out of extreme poverty by providing a basic income. We're a nonprofit startup. Our goal is zero extreme poverty.

Glo is a fully-backed stablecoin that invests its treasuries in short-term Treasury Bills -- just like Circle (USDC). The difference is we'll then give the proceeds from that investment away to GiveDirectly. We call it the anti-poverty version of the dollar.

We raised a $2m seed donation from Sid Sijbrandij (GitLab, YC W15) and are hiring broadly to help realize this vision:

- Executive Assistant

- Head of Community

- Lead Writer

- Copywriter

- Communications and Social Media Manager

- Brand partnerships manager

- Operations manager

- Motivated individuals with a vision for how to grow GLO

Glo's first goal is to be the best stablecoin, and we'll then aim for mainstream adoption beyond the crypto world. Ultimately we strive for Glo to be widely used for payments just like the dollar or the euro.

We have achieved leading diagnostic prediction in depression and paranoia, and differentiate across a broad range of conditions.

Tetricus is on a mission to create a new front door to mental healthcare. We've recruited a world-class team of established leaders in tech and healthcare, with the unique expertise and passion to make our vision a reality. We've gained early traction with multiple large organizations seeking to pilot our solutions.

We have a full-time team of 3 and are looking to hire our first founding engineers and ML practitioners. Ideal candidates have expert level experience in one or more of: JS / Python / AI/ML. We have a very tight, fun company culture and would love to bring you on board to help us shape it.

Please send a CV to nikk@tetricuslabs.com. Thank you!
There are probably 15k npm libraries that solve that very thing. I think this is part of what people struggle with and complain about WRT web dev. There are so many choices for libs and frameworks it can be hard to know which one to pick and which dragons you'll find along each path.

FWIW if you're using hooks and React, React Hook Form is good: https://github.com/react-hook-form/react-hook-form
Generally it depends on if and how fast molecules of water and solvents are able to pass through the membrane.

Say sodium and water passes equally well, there will be a net flow of water one way, and a net flow of sodium the other way. Notice that the flow of water will make the water rise on the flow-to side, then pressure there will rise and oppose the flow.
Ecobee also gives you access to your own data, Nest does not. It enables projects like beestat (no relation besides being a user).

Note that weight-loss is relying of a side effect. It might be a wonder drug, or it might have issues due to how that side effect affects patients (loss of appetite, insulin levels, etc). I hope it's a clear aid for weight loss but some caution is appropriate.
Yeah sure. If they had the ability to learn math but chose not to, it might be true. They don't, though - and I bet there is more than a few dolphins that'd like to do more if they could.
For every HOA that gets a Reddit post complaining about unreasonable behavior, there's a dozen others that just effectively keep people from turning their front yard into a wrecking yard, and probably a hundred others that don't enforce anything at all but just keep the common areas mowed.

I’m shocked when people think they are rich when they make 150k/year. While that would be comfortable for most areas, the scale of capitalism favors my family and our ability to take on risk. We can fail so many times we look like we are business geniuses when in reality you don’t see the failures. Other people fail and they are out of the market, our family just keeps trying. People just are not good at understanding big numbers. Can you really imagine infinity? That’s the amount of money we seem to have. Can’t spend it faster than it comes in.

They're not going to be able to guess that, or be especially concerned with the range -- if bullets are coming by they're getting down or hauling ass.

You aim for the center of mass -- roughly at the heart. A bullet, thusly aimed, that drops slightly short can still hit someone in the leg or lower abdomen. Or it'll hit the ground and kick up dirt, be more visible.

A fixed height for each tick mark also means you can use the enemy high to roughly calculate distance.
Thank you! I actually can’t remember what made me start building it. I think I was learning differential equations and wanted to try visualizing some parts of that, and it spiraled into a full blown thing. I kept getting impressed by the flexibility and accessibility of SVG.

I don’t really have a target audience, I just enjoy building it. As I add more examples I expose more weak spots or feature opportunities.

Regarding your SO, Mafs could be a good fit if she knows React, but if not, Geogebra is a fantastic WYSIWYG visualization editor. Mafs would have the cool benefit of being able to show the underlying logic to the student though :)
Minor trivia: The first major public demonstration of D-Wave used a modified version of my PerfectTablePlan software to show how D-Wave could solve a seating plan optimization problem. Seating plans are a difficult combinatorial problem with N! possible solutions for N guests in N seats.
So much this.

You see it with the death of paged result views, and their replacement with "Yet Another Query Lang/Search Widget". Sometimes, to a User, that God's eye paginated view of a dataset is a lifesaver, because over time you start learning it's shape.

You learn datapoint X is on page 5, and as time goes on, you can further optimize, and you gain a visceral, kinesthetic sense for the dataset/program.

You have to use it though; and you have to document it. People aren't going to just magically intuit how your obtuse arse search widget works. They don't know your data model.

Even worse, they don't know your company calls something the industry now calls "Fred" "Bob", because "Bob" was the standard before "Fred", but you're a late adopter for reasons.

Or worse, that you labelled a field "Barney" in the UI, but in your search widget query, it has to be dealt with as BRNE. Or even worse: you enter "Fred=fredvalue AND Barney=BRNEvalue", yet you end up finding out someone had a fundamental misunderstanding down the line, and it turns out fredvalue is mapping to BRNE on the backend, and BRNEvalue is mapping to Fred.

These are all examples of actual bugs I've had to squash in the last 2 and a half years; and which only get worse and worse as time and system integrations move on, because they'll tend to echo out of your system under development into other auxilliary systems like your call center IVR or CRM, or customer service tool. Now you have three disparate systems to get fixes/work scheduled for, and which all need to be done in lockstep to roll out coherently across an org.

I've had to sit with Users, watching them, learning the desire paths, then sit down and have a long talk with a designer to explain the heuristics they weren't taking into account given the people who were actually using the thing.

Compared to snappy interfaces that your hands can master, and to be honest, it feels like a lot of web app is just regression, and an excuse to justify enploying someone to wholesale change the aesthetics of the interface no matter how much of a detriment that in the end becomes to the functionality of the tool.
Neon CEO here.

There are a number of ideas in the database space that the industry is adopting across the board:

- Separation of storage and compute (Neon, AlloyDB, Aurora). Every cloud database should built one. It's a big undertaking, but benefits are undeniable.

- Good query processor for analytics (Snowflake, Velox, Singlestore)

- Open source. Especially in OLTP open source == trust

- HTAP. Can run mixed workload (Singlestore, Unistore): both OLTP (apps) and OLAP (reporting). This has always been a dream, but we still live in the world of dedicated systems: E.g. Snowflake and Postgres.

- Shared nothing sharding (Vitess). This is the most controversial as you lose compatibility with the mothership (MySQL for Vitess). So it's unclear this will be the dominant architecture in the future. I think the world may get to "dynamic sharding" where storage stays separate and compute can be multinode and the user can easily and instantly change the number of nodes.
Interesting and naive journey to find a suitable and minimal "permacomputing" environment for doing software development on a sailboat.

After reading some of the (many many) replies to tweets, it seems the story is pretty much what I summed it up as: he got compromised and failed security 101

They likely used the access they had to further infect or snaffle credentials etc - a very simple and obvious one is reverse SSH tunnels for example
"It was popularized because the Instagram web team used it…" Twenty-five-year front end dev here, I don't recall anyone asking or caring what Instagram was using. Like, obviously projects of that scale make influential suggestions, but when Instagram says "we like This" and AirBnB says "we like That" then you have a couple strong condidates to evaluate.

IMO, the answer is more general: the modern web front-end evolved from lots of different directions. Instead of having one prescribed Correct way (a la AppKit, UIKit, Android Frontend Frameworks, etc.). If Netscape somehow still existed and maintained their peak of influence, things would be different.

I have several years of programming experience and am eager to learn new technologies. If your team uses different technologies than what is on my list I would still love to hear from you. I am confident that my strong foundation in programming and my desire to learn will enable me to quickly become proficient in any new technologies that I need to use.
In my experience, I've seen lots of _old_ HOAs that are similar — only there for utilities that the larger municipality is lacking (like trash, recycling, snow removal, etc). It's the new ones — those that are set up by the developer from the get go that get lambasted and become the stereotype.
Not to defend Luke but I nowhere read that he stored wallets on the hacked server and I think he explicitly stated that the server was not used for wallets.
By "like this" perhaps you mean something like "interesting". There's a bias towards good storytelling, especially in magazine articles that make their way to many eyed, like this one. Optimizing for a compelling read had to degrade the actual predictive value. How much, hard to say, and of course if you want anyone to pay attention you need to present it well. Bit, beware a well told story - it might be the rhetorical skill you're responding to, not any real expertise. (I'm looking at you, Oxford people :D :D)
Correct, if you're following CANSPAM in the US you must abide by its rules in order to remain legal, however explicit opt-in is not required. What is required is:

- No deceptive information

- Valid physical address

- Must have an easy way to unsubscribe, most often an unsubscribe link but asking the recipient to reply to stop being sent emails is also sufficient

- Promptly honor unsubscribe requests within ten days

Other countries have different laws though.

Honestly if they're following the above rules, you won't cost them anything. And if they're not, and therefore doing it illegally, well, looks like your lawyers will have their work cut out for them.

Are we talking about the same language? C++?
For sure - but any cohort that’s capable of escalation will escalate on a long enough timeline. Police are more and more “mini militaries” (I am sure there are cities with more $ in police than some nations have in military $)

I think social services, crisis intervention, and mental health/drug help will benefit more and for longer.

That, though, goes against another deep seeded inherent “bonus” to keeping homeless homeless, addicts addicted, and police forces of all styles (pub/priv) in action:

Those “homeless” types scare an entire low/middle class of labor into accepting any wage no matter how exploitative, out of a fear if becoming one of “them.”
Had never heard of this before, here's the blurb from the sidebar of the subreddit:

BitWarden was a breeze for my parents, there's no difference between the OS autofill and BW... on both iOS and Android, and Chrome for my dad. :shrug:
Datasheet here: https://www.holtek.com/documents/10179/116711/HT68F001_0012v...

Notes:

1. 512 12-bit words of Flash (12-bits per instruction).

2. Designed to be programmed directly in assembly.

3. 32kHz internal clock. When powered with 1.8V, the device is specified with 3.0 uA maximum current, and 1.5uA typical current. For reference, a 3000mA-hr AA battery with 15-year life span has ~22uA leakage current.

4. If that wasn't enough, the chip does have a "HALT" instruction, setting the processor into a sleep mode that further drops power consumption down.

5. All instructions require at least 4-clocks to execute. So this 32kHz CPU only executes 8 kilo-instructions per second... and some instructions require 2 cycles... meaning 4-kilo-instructions per second worst case.

----------

We programmers often forget how "small" the world of microcontrollers can get. Tiny chips, like this
HT68F001 serve to remind us how small practical programs can be in the real world.

Despite the hilariously poor specs of this uC (even by other uC standards), the power-consumption specs are absolutely spectacular. Its difficult for me to think of a rival chip that can dome down to 3uA worst-case specified current consumption at 1.8V. (A lot of the "low power uCs", like STM32U5, cheat by using a buck-converter and write their specifications against 3.3V).

---------

By cutting clock speeds to the lowest reasonable speeds: these kinds of uCs allow the programmer to check on values thousands-of-times per second and react within microseconds to various events automatically.

And they do so while using the absolute lowest amounts of power possible.

That being said, communications will become an issue. An 8kHz uC without a UART will not even be able to communicate over 9600 Baud UARTs (aka: 9.6kHz communication speed), though bit-banging a signal out at 300 Baud might still be possible.
Building a Vector Space Search Engine in Perl (2003)
WeatherForce | Python Developers: Data Engineering, Data Visualization | Full-time | Toulouse, France | On-Site with for some remote working days

WeatherForce is currently looking for two experienced Python developers.

The first role will be focused on data engineering using tools such as Jupyter,
Pandas, NumPy, xarray and Dask. We are looking for someone with a developer
mindset as well familiarity with data engineering and a desire to grow in that
area. Please note that this is not a data science or data analysis position.
As a data engineer, you will collaborate with data scientists and build
solutions to help them do their work.

The second role will be about data visualization solutions based on libraries
such as Plotly, Dash and React. This position will involve working across the
full web development stack. It will also require to work with libraries
necessary to access meteorological data such as Pandas and xarray. We don't
expect a web developer to already know those libraries but you should be
willing to learn.

Both roles require familiarity with the Linux environment and a good software
engineering culture. You should have a high-level understanding of networking
and operating systems but also care about clean code and automated testing. We
will be testing your knowledge of those subjects during our hiring process.

Speaking French is not mandatory but we are looking for people who can come to
the office several days a week so you should be in the Toulouse area or willing
to relocate. We are currently not able to help you with immigration so you
should hold a permit to work in France or have EU citizenship.

Please send your application to jobs@weatherforce.org
The first image in the linked Reddit post literally says "Best alternative to Kdenlive", though.
I misspoke, meant we can't use frameworks. We have Webpack setup, but the HTML is currently Django templates, and the project right now has too tight a deadline to reshape the frontend into something that more conventional frontend frameworks expect.
Of course, builders gonna build.
Is it wrong of me to think that at the root of all of this is the VC funding model?
Indeed, there is no silver bullet.
