i highly doubt an IC could make something like this happen without approval from somebody. It would be a huge risk.

Also relating to easter eggs, anecdotally I think there are far fewer of them in software these days for just that reason: when a developer puts in an easter egg, it's hard to prove categorically that its addition wouldn't have some unintended effect, and possibly very embarrassing to the company if a major issue was traced back to some joke added by a developer for lulz. Uncomfortable questions would be asked. Imagine if adding an easter egg to Windows ended up leading to the grounding of all flights, or caused a life support system to behave improperly. etc.

I know MS specifically banned easter eggs a long time ago on these grounds, I think it's a fireable offense but could be wrong.
There is no great difference between any of them. They're all essentially procedural languages with various bells and whistles bolted on.

Ask HN: As a SaaS company, how do you manage your single-tenant deployments?
My use case - you are a SaaS company that has "main" multitenant deployment that serves your customers.

Then you have an enterprise prospect that wants a single-tenant deployment due to security, privacy, etc.

Is there any tool that will help me achieve that? Both spinning up the single-tenant deployment and verifying it works.

There's replicated for kubernetes-native apps but let's say I use also third parties such as Snowflake and some other managed services.
But if adoption is “very low”, then it’s not much pollution, is it?

I agree that it's very useful, but I'd be careful about "fact checker". GPT is perfectly happy to confirm falsehoods as facts and hallucinate convincing lies. A good fact checker verifies from multiple sources and uses critical thinking, neither of which ChatGPT can do.
Yes, that exact scenario is supported with TypedDict.

And while that is a simple pattern, it's not a good pattern, and quickly becomes unmaintainable in a program of any size. Using *kwargs because of Too-many-arguments and so you can violate the Liskov substitution principle isn't good programming. Just because it can be done doesn't mean we should start bastardizing typing to make it easier.

Well copyright law isn’t interested in if someone intended to publish infringing works rather that it is an infringing work, so that persona’s claim that “any output is in the public domain” is legally incoherent.

Expand this a little bit in the opposite direction…imagine if Stable Diffusion was made illegal. Someone accuses me of using this illegal tool for an image that doesn’t look like anyone else’s image as far as the court is concerned for copyright. I put the image on my website. If the image itself is not at all infringing, then what is the evidence that Stable Diffusion was used? Should the police be issued a warrant to search my private property for proof that I used Stable Diffusion without a shred of evidence?

This frames the conversation about copyright within the legal structure and not some unrelated philosophical structure.
I’m gonna be that guy, but do you have sources for any of this? That link shows that compiler performance is the same as before generics, for instance.

Are there more bugs in the compiler? Is readability reduced, and having an effect on pace? Especially if adoption is so low to begin with? Is adoption actually so low, or just rising?
I wrote a similar one I called Forgery that’s in a repo of the same name in my github account (which can be found in my user profile… just created this account and didn’t want to post a link in my first post, thought it might get automodded).

Very similar to yours, but also does forks, which I’m not sure yours does by a quick glance at your readme. Although, mine doesn’t automatically mirror from another forge, just clones everything locally. I’ll have to add a TODO to add mirroring.

Truth Social (https://www.truthsocial.com/) | Open-Source Developers | Sarasota, Florida USA or REMOTE (ONSITE preferred for some roles)

We are a social media company dedicated to delivering users an engaging and censorship-free experience. We believe users should be able to freely express themselves and engage with a rich diversity of viewpoints on a progressive, accessible platform. If you are interested in joining a company that is fast-paced, rapidly growing, and committed to free speech, please get in touch.

Our first product is Truth Social, a social media application which launched on 20 February 2022 to become #1 in the Apple App Store. We are expanding to other platforms (Web launched, Android native coming soon) and adding functionality, plus working on follow-on products (SVOD, Infrastructure). Our product is currently available in the US, Canada, the UK, and a few others, and is expanding throughout the world over the upcoming months.

We're looking for a variety of roles in engineering for these products. Our current team is small and technically excellent, making extensive use of open source software and operating our own infrastructure to remain independent of third party control. We are particularly interested in hiring people from the established social media giants and large SAAS applications who were directly involved in creating software and infrastructure for scaling to hundreds of millions of users and beyond, and who want to do it again in an environment which values freedom of speech and expression.

One system we're particularly proud of is an internally-developed ML moderation system which flags policies in violation of ToS and assists human moderators in keeping the site in compliance with our terms of service while respecting free speech. We are working on open sourcing elements of these tools.

We recently deployed direct messaging for users and are working on security and privacy improvements, as well as other expansions of the core Truth Social product. Some of these tools will be released as open source.

related to TFA but different: does anyone know how to xrandr to arrange 3 screens into this arrangement:

S C R E E N T H R E E
screen one screen two

so that moving the mouse vertically from screen 1 or 2 enters screen 3?

That is:

screen one LEFT-OF screen two
screen one BELOW screen three
screen two BELOW screen three

Last time I tried this, it did not work (I assume because xrandr makes assumptions about physical monitor size)

Well after "Web 2.0", there was a lot of talk about "Web 3.0", some fifteen years ago [1]. And then now the crypto people have created a term "Web3", ostensibly completely unaware of the use of the term "Web 3.0" from the past which meant something completely different. I assume these people were too young 15 years ago to remember.

But "Web3" means stuff with blockchain and similar.

There has never been a point to cookie popups, as with most things resulting from technically-illiterate politicians trying to help with technology matters.

We complained about web2.0 because it was a stupid buzzword that people used to describe something that was already happening and didn't need marketing because it was obviously hot tech that solved a problem: websites had been static, we made them dynamic, marketing took credit for web2.0, which was annoying. We weren't "naysayers," we were simply exhausted by the froth of buzzwords. Nobody ever thought it wouldn't have broad application.

Web3? It skipped straight to marketing, the tech is tedious, kludgy, and seems to make more problems than it solves. The space is saturated with cons and rubes. Outsiders are skeptical because it's apparently garbage, and gets worse any time I look closer.
To avoid blasphemy.
>neither of these statements will be absolutes - there are situations and times where a declarative language user will worry about how the query planner will execute, and there are times where an imperative language user will write very much declarative code.

That's right, in practice everything is more like a mishmash of everything. Your function library could be seen as a declarative language over the top of a generic language.
GABA Labs – Beyond Ethanol
> has on average 2.5x the number of bugs

This claim is not supported by the linked article.

In fact, the main claim (only 2% of bugs are type errors) of the linked article also does not make any sense. It is based on the assumption, that typing errors only ever cause TypeError, AttributeError, or NameError in Python, which is, ironically, false, because Python is a dynamic language.

To give a concrete example, I went out to GitHub, got into top Python repository (TensorFlow), and searched for a first closed pull request which explicitly mentioned ValueError and did not mention either of the above. It turned out to be this one: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/pull/47017 This issue is an obvious type error: in statically-typed languages the value of float can not be nil.

You could probably repeat that experiment with other closed pull requests, but I can bet you you will find that the rate will be closer to 50% if not 90%.

How to Finance Buying Pizza
There's many uses for random numbers where cryptographic random is unnecessary, but where different runs of the program should use different pseudo random sequences.
>1 Zip can only be used for US purchases. Certain merchant, product, goods, and service restrictions apply. For a $200 purchase, you'd make four $51.50 payments every two weeks starting today for a 52.18% annual percentage rate and a total of payments of $206. A $6 installment fee is charged at commencement - you pay $1.50 of this fee as a prepaid finance charge when you make your initial payment today. The remaining $4.50 is included in your future payments. Minimum purchase of $35 required. Estimation of installment payment and annual percentage rate excludes potential tax and shipping costs. Installment fees are $4 for purchases from $35 to $99.99, $5 for purchases from $100 to $199.99, and $6 for purchases $200 and above.

So you are saying there are solutions to these problems? Because, if there are, this is the first I'm hearing anything about it. I've had a lot of "NFT game items are never going to be a thing" kind of arguments and not once have heard a compelling argument for them. Are you just keeping the answers a secret, or something?
> Yes, that exact scenario is supported with TypedDict.

I don't think so. I just threw together a simple example that doesn't work:

from typing import TypedDict

class A(TypedDict):
name: str
age: int

def myfunc(**kwargs: A):
print(kwargs)

myfunc()

No errors with mypy. In fact, kwargs is inferred as `dict[str, A]`, which is unbelievable given that Python explicitly supports `**kwargs` as a way to represent a grab-bag of keyword arguments.

> And while that is a simple pattern, it's not a good pattern, and quickly becomes unmaintainable in a program of any size

It's not though, if you had a proper type system. For example, you could do this trivially in Typescript and it would automatically infer the types of the rest of the kwargs. That means that your type information is preserved, making it possible to keep using your subclass without losing information about the total set of arguments it supports. The advantage is that you can add/remove arguments to your base class without having to hunt down every subclass, and you're guaranteed to be correct (and it would error otherwise!).

I pay $80 a year for IntelliJ and that works out to waaay less than something like CoPilot or ChatGPT and is waaay more consistently useful.

Using common airframe for three variants was probably the major flaw of F-35 program. I think they were concerned about the design costs. They made it work but it was expensive to get working. Plus, the electronics and software were the really expensive pieces.

It would have probably been cheaper and better to design two planes, one conventional (F-35A, F-35C) and one vertical take-off. Then save money by using common parts and the same avionics.
You're both wrong, Web 2.0 was about rounded corners. I know I was there!

I feel like this brings some sort of (hopefully slightly premature) closure to my life in tech. When I was a young teenager in 1983, I was lucky enough to get an account on Essex MUD[1], which was (one of) the first multi-user games ever, created by Richard and Roy Trubshaw. The richness of that environment -- its lessons, ambitions, and the day-to-day experience of collaborating in a virtual game space -- had a huge influence on me. Not least were the mistakes: I remember one time, in an attempt to make it easier to manage multiple characters, the MUD developers listed any other accounts that shared the same password as your main login. Turns out that having the same password is not the same as being the owner of another account; especially with users who rotated their passwords through multiple commonly-used ones, and harvested the user accounts that popped up.

By virtual of being a privileged first-adopter in Richard's MUDspace, I got to see a glimpse of a future that was, in my mind, overdetermined. I didn't know what future "MUDs" would be like, but I was absolutely sure that multi-user games would be a thing; it was just a matter of either waiting for them to appear, or working to make them arrive myself. In the meantime, the glimpse gave time to sketch out some invariants, based on experience: a rough shape of things to come.

I had the same experience with the web: by engineering things so that I could access the Internet and the Web early on, I got a sense that it would be inevitable, and some insight into what that inevitability might look like. Not much, but enough to ride that wave too.

Now I'm in the (waves air-quotes) crypto/web3/dweb world. I just did a demo to some non-profits of some of the tools being used in this area -- mostly IPFS, a bit of Filecoin (I work at the Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web now). Unlike perhaps many in this space, I caveat the hell out of this tech, because I recognize it as being far far closer to that MUD (or 1993's Web) than, I don't know, Fortnite or Gmail. But I genuinely see this space full of technology that gives the glimpse of a direction; a thing that's not going away; and a thing that it's hard to describe and easy to miss unless you're staring straight at it.

I feel like people caught in these moments often ignore the past, and overvalorize the future: I realise in retrospect I should have listened more to the people who loved amateur radio, television production, state-run communication systems, centralized publishing. But you really do have to keep listening out for the future, even when you have so much past experience to convey.
