I’ve of course heard all this before, and I think I understand where you're coming from. I just reject that angle. For me, what we’re doing is not even in sight of a grey area.

But it’s so interesting to imagine a world where it’s unethical to release a film for purchase on your website, or for HBO to make an original show, or an independent journalist to publish a newsletter on Substack. Or where the only way to access music is by unnecessarily creating disposable petrochemical discs.

If we were to imagine a future society where our basic needs were met, with UBI or some other form of welfare for all (which I thoroughly support) — selling all these things would be even less unethical!
It's cute to see prompt injection work, but it shouldn't ever be a real security vulnerability if you don't put secrets in the prompt, and don't make systems that put user input into a prompt and treat the output as commands that are more privileged than the user could issue directly. If GPT is used to assist users in accomplishing things they already have the privileges to do, then it doesn't matter if they try to trick GPT any more than it matters if they try to trick their computer's own spellchecker.

I have used docfx, sphinx (rst) and tried vite press.

I picked sphinx at old job because we had very good infra for it. Even though I found it slow (due to it being python based and my company’s idiosyncrasies)

For my current job, I picked docfx because other people used them and have set up infra for them. I preferred vite press because editing experience was way better with its HMR. However, I couldn’t change the company infra, so docfx it is.

Using vitepress (for writing)and docfx (for publishing) didn’t work due to their subtle differences.

My recommendation would be using vitepress, as it makes editing easier and you really want this part to be as much frictionless as possible.

And do not go with sphinx as it requires restructuredText. Rst is good, but it introduces a learning curve.

Your condescending attitude is unnecessary and unwarranted, and your messages have done nothing to increase my awareness of actual evidence of privacy violation. My stance of expecting assertions to include substantiating evidence is completely reasonable, and is a basic premise of accepting assertions as fact. The link you added - what's the purpose of that? It's some random user's unsubstantiated assertion. Was it supposed to be a joke, or... ?

btw RE: "everyone in the industry knows": https://www.logicalfallacies.org/argumentum-ad-populum.html I don't care if "everyone knows", if someone makes an extraordinary claim, my response is always "prove it". I don't believe things just because other people do.

I'm not sure how much of your general screed I agree with ... but this is very much on point. We know that plastics are hard to recycle, expensive to recycle, and what is recycled is hard and expensive to actually use. We need to look for alternatives to plastic use in the first place. And this needs to be legislated. There's no need whatsoever for that pack of five tomatoes to be put in a plastic tray and then wrapped in more plastic.

> Russia is just across the black sea. I don't want war

russia is the one perpetrating war. And yet, it is somehow the US that is questionable?

It isn't really logical for the US to do it - risk vs reward wise. And i doubt any european country would want to help the US do this either - they stand to gain very little. Even if Norway stands to gain more gas sales - those aren't guaranteed, and the reputational damage is not worth the financial reward imho.
> An AI would be just as good, if it had decently accurate answers.

Well, this reminds me of "if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle."

Failing to clean up bad questions is encouraging all the bad behavior you're talking about, since answering yet another question from someone who couldn't be bothered to write his own regex is an easy 25 points that nobody will ever look at again.
Well at the time 2 different profs taught Scheme, one of the profs thought Scheme was so obvious that it didn't need to be explained in class. There weren't any real lessons on Scheme, the only textbook for the class was a (good) book on discrete mathematics, and we were expected to pick up functional programming on our own.

He honestly did a disservice to my learning of FP and probably set me back a good 4 or 5 years. He did a great job of filtering out students from the department though!

So after I got a horrible grade in his class I retook with the other professor, who taught the class (which was labeled as discrete math / logic class) as an extension of the textbook, and accordingly I did pretty good, but I didn't really learn anything about functional programming!

As an aside, that series of 2 classes had some amazing proofs. Proving addition on integers was an absolutely wonderful experience.

The data structures class was hard, we had a ton of material thrown at us really rapidly. I was taking the other fail out class mentioned above at the same time. When the quarter ended the department advisor asked me why I did that (because no one advised me not to...)

The C programming course, I think that hurt a lot of students. I had a good time with it, but we had to implement a shell and for many students, I think that would've been their 5th programming class ever.

Oh also that is when we had to start using source control.

One cool thing about Western is that quite a few of the professors came in from industry, so practices like "source control is part of your grade" were around really early on (again, this was 2004 or so I think).

Also tiny class sizes, and regular office hours. Professors would regularly be online chatting with students late at night the day before assignments were due. When I was at Western, only the first 2 intro courses had TAs doing any teaching, everything after that was a class of 20-30 and a professor up front.
> This kills our creativity because we are just thinking about the same stuff that every other person is getting recommended at this moment.

I agree with you on “no time to think our own thoughts” but I really don’t think this part about algorithms is true. 50 years ago, people were “recommended” way less stuff. Most televisions had less channels than there are videos on your YouTube homepage. And your page is different than mine.

I mean, I wouldn’t have even seen this comment of yours. Maybe in a letter to the editor?

It’s the extreme diversity inside non-diversity that’s the problem. The monotonous novelty. Want an opinion on last week’s F1 race? Sure, here’s a hundred from a hundred people. Video about pottery in Greece? Have a thousand of those, all slightly different, all engaging in their own way. And pick the political opinion of your choice and I can find more people than an ancient Human would meet in their entire lifetime all acting as if this obviously true. It’s enough to convince your brain that anyone who thinks differently is a danger and should be immediately exiled from the tribe.

> Yet there are companies out there rejecting me for job descriptions which are only 50% of my skill set because I couldn’t code this obscure hard algorithms problem in 45 mins

This is usually an odd thing that happens when you accidentally interview yourself a level below - there's a definite "I made a trade-off to do something else" that you hit at the boundary of senior+ engineer.

I interviewed at a FAANG recently where they asked me when I committed my last patch. Not "when did you review a patch", but had to skip over all the +1s and to a patch I had authored.

I knew immediately that the interviewer didn't care about whether I could talk to customers or get other teams to do dependency features or even if I could balance a tech-debt vs velocity decision.

I knew I had missed on my leveling, because I didn't get worse at algorithms or writing patches because I couldn't, but because I was doing something else more relevant to shipping software in my organization.

The next job conversation, I was interviewing for a Sr Principal and the VP I talked to could see how they could use the last 3 years of my "optimizing for results" better than the engineer who couldn't understand why I was doing management tasks as an IC & why that meant I didn't write patches, that I got them in into the releases in the right order across teams.

They're rejecting you because you aren't a match for the job they have at hand.

You should see mismatches as time saved on your part, not as rejections.
I'm surprised that the article doesn't mention the royal pain that is of the user id mappings required for execution of limited privilege containers. This is by far the biggest con and pain in the butt with using Podman.*

Though I acknowledge the problem, the user id mapping file is really unfortunate and basically non-portable between systems. I hope there has been better tooling built up around this lately, as Podman basically "wins" over Docker in my book, in all other ways. But the pain required to setup and properly manage user-privileged containers with Podman is just a bit too terse and becomes a significant barrier.

*[edit] to be fair, also a pain with rootless Docker too.

> It doesn’t seem like LXC/LXD has really taken off

Maybe for you but LXC is very useful for deploying development environment isolated for each developers. systemd-nspawn is quite simple but LXC provides tooling that makes operations easier.

Docker and LXD serve different purposes. Docker is meant for an app to be run isolated but LXD can run a whole OS.
This is not standard operating procedure, but it's not very different to what happened with the similar Sigonella affair.
I'm not an expert here, but I think part of the selling point of phages is their specificity in targeting a particular bacterial strain, and then having the capacity to co-evolve with bacteria to that might otherwise develop immunity to a particular compound. I'd assume this is a valid approach, but probably relies on having a phage "in stock" that targets the particular strain of staph.

By contrast, a probiotic is sort of an ecological approach. Rather than targeting the staph directly, you just introduce something benign that competes with the staphylococcus, preventing it from dominating the environment (i.e. overwhelming your body).

I have an on again off again relationship with culturing kefir. Regular consumption of kefir produced from healthy cultures definitely feels like an immunity shield from food poisoning. I like to imagine that any pathogenic bacteria that find their way into my gut are roughed up by the locals.
> There isn't a one size fits all approach.

That's exactly why having a smaller device allows everyone to customize it to their needs. If Steam Deck 2.0 were more portable (i.e. smaller and lighter) and that made it too small for you to hold comfortably, a cheap attachment could trivially fix that. Professional photographers have used extended grips for decades when they've wanted a larger grip than the manufacturer provided. This is not some novel solution. The Steam Deck is currently trying to be a single size that fits all, since it is already at the large end of what people will tolerate, and aftermarket customization cannot realistically make it smaller, only bigger.

> You are free to use a tiny Switch. [...] I'm perfectly happy with my choice.

You're setting up a weird comparison. When I owned the Steam Deck, I owned a Switch. Now that I own an AYANEO Air, I still own a Switch. Neither device is a replacement for the Switch. The Switch is not really the competition here. It is nice to imagine a world where the Steam Deck is somehow a full replacement for the Switch (or vice versa!), but such a world does not currently exist.

For now, I replaced my Steam Deck with an AYANEO Air for the reasons outlined in my first comment.

> that can not only play switch games

No, the Steam Deck cannot play Switch games effectively. Every time someone brings this up, they proudly throw out Breath of the Wild as an example... and it turns out to be the Wii U version, not the Switch version, because the Switch version runs like crap on the Steam Deck. Certain lightweight Switch games might work, but you're definitely not going to get the benefits of almost any Switch-exclusive game, especially once you factor in multiplayer issues.

It was. After that series of courses most classes had students complete assignments in any language of their choosing, with the exception of obvious ones like the Java OO class or the C based networking class which was a direct successor to the initial C based class on *nix programming.

I think to an high degree it depends on whether the individuals could realistically prevent new instances given resources (e.g. access, head count, number of other high priority tasks, etc.)

> Both are evil but I agree that Google is less evil than Microsoft.

I'd agree they are both evil in that they both seek to leverage your personal data against you for their own gain, but it sounds like Google does it while being more protective of what they've taken from you while MS also leaves you vulnerable in new ways through carelessness.

I'm not too worried about Bing though. That's nothing compared to Microsoft's access to your computer at the OS level. We know anything we do online will be seen by others, but being able to snoop on our personal files and log our keystrokes is a whole lot worse than knowing what we type into a search engine.

However improved/more popular Bing becomes, eventually Bing will end up in the same position Google is in now where they'll have to make their web search worse in order to constantly shove ads in your face instead of returning results that are useful, and slowly SEO spam will adapt to pollute Bing's results further. Google may not even mind if Bing starts gaining users. At this point Google can collect so much data from android devices that I doubt they need google search to peer into our lives like they used to anyway.
Notifications tab seems down on the website too.

I only noticed because it didn't have the constant "(20)" text injected in the titles for once (I never look at that tab anymore because it's always "recommended tweets" spam and it immediatelly fills it with more notifications if I open it to clear the number).
Clicking through to the python repo and looking at the examples there, I guess the query language is GraphQL.

Reading further, it seems that it is actually a variation of GraphQL.

I've never used GraphQL before, maybe one can get used to it, but it doesn't look very nice for defining data queries.

Frankly, optimizing streaming for adult content might well be one of the most innocent things one can do in our industry :)
Those movies are incredibly violent from top to bottom and feature near constant scenes of characters engaging in activities that would get kids killed if emulated, or arrested if not killed. But a chaste kiss or profane language or mild inuendo is what makes them inappropriate for children? (The marvel moves in particular have been widely criticized for avoiding even implying that sex is happening anywhere, https://bookriot.com/why-are-mcu-superhero-movies-sexless/ )

Personally I don't think they'd be improved by adding sex, maybe improved by some better innuendo. I think movies in general WAY overuse sex scenes where its totally unnecessary or where some innuendo (or even just people heading to the bedroom) would suffice for plot purposes. It's not like movies usually acknowledge that people ever go to the bathroom, but you know if movie plots were real life half of them would have been tripped up because someone was in the toilet at the wrong time.

But when it comes to the marvel movies, I'm really at a loss at what adult content you think is making them unsuitable other than their fundamental violence.

Hacker News is very biased towards the cool new thang. But if you look on StackOverflow Developer Survey 2022, Java is one of the top languages that professional devs actually use in their day to day — far more than Go, Rust, Zig, Elixir, and so on, the more trendy languages that get talked about a lot.

The main advantage of Java in my mind is how old, mature, and stable the ecosystem is. Everything has a library for it.

Also, if you later decide to use a cooler/more expressive language, you can actually keep your Java code and use one of the other popular JVM languages with interop. (Scala, Kotlin, Clojure)
