Thanks for the explanation. This explains all the weird behaviour of devices I have which don’t charge (or charge poorly) over USB C. This was so confusing because I assumed that they should work fine given that they have USB C ports, but no… I’ll have to keep some USB A to C cords around for years still.

I just bought a CalDigit element hub and had some hesitation because I thought “how long will I really need the USB A ports?” Evidently they will be handy for quite a while.
No, he got sued by the patent holding company for using those seeds and then spraying them with Roundup, which would have killed off his crop had they not been the patented seeds. This is true of all the cases of people being sued for cultivating "Roundup-Ready" crops: the story they want to tell is that they were sued for cultivating seeds that accidentally wound up on their fields, but the facts established at trial were that, however the seeds ended up there, the farmers deliberately exploited the patented system.
That is crazy to think about. I wonder what this sentence will be about in another 25 years.
I've seen a number of pieces about privacy problems with Windows 11 but they've struck me as kind of odd. To me, Windows 10 was an awful privacy nightmare and Windows 11 is just more of the same. They're going to turn the screws on TPM requirements and press even harder on Microsoft accounts, but fundamentally it just seems like a continuation of the path things were already on.

It is fine to remind everyone of what is going on, but this war was lost 8 years ago.
this is a tradeoff so that ini/toml can avoid braces and whitespace rules, which is actually a win for (non-programmer) human usability. to most users, fixing an "unbalanced braces" error is "programming", especially since that's exactly the kind of error that parsers can't give useful advice for in the error message.

the tradeoff is that your most general top-level settings must come before your category-specific settings, which is usually a pretty natural layout anyway.

I don’t know about Parallels specifically, but VMs can work provided you use PCIe passthrough so the VM can gain direct access to your video card. Since your primary OS also wants access to the video card for compositing, you might end up needing two (but the second one wouldn’t have to be very expensive).
> Both Shell and BHP offered two different versions of their common stock. For each company, the two stocks were legally distinct, but they performed very similarly because, after all, they were shares in the same company.

The underlying idea was that this self describing format would enable easy interoperability. It wasn’t 100% wrong since before standards like this you had a million ugly bespoke formats and fragile CSV formats.

In the end it was JSON plus API description and generation tooling that delivered, though XML lives on under the hood in lots of places. It’s usually used for cases closer to markup like word processor documents or for very complex configuration files.

Hype is just something you have to get used to in this industry. It’s really bad. Any new thing usually gives birth to a wave of breathless unhinged hype whose main purpose is to get corporate purchasers and VCs to cough up money.

The proper long term solution to this problem is DANE [2], but since migrating everyone to DNSSEC will take a long time, Google and a few others in the email ecosystem created MTA-STS, which is far better than nothing [1].

All this being said, another idea (not standardized yet as far as I know) would be to publish a new DNS record, MXS (for example), that would imply the use of the SSL email port 465. I think it would be a worthy standardization effort to go in this direction and finally banish STARTTLS.

An Ai that simulates ahead of time performance the realtime system catches up to should be able to capture and ameliorate the side-effects of the software bug. Shut down is not an option. Do brains have two halves because one side is simulating ahead of time and the otherside is steering?
> Nation can be seen as an consensus ideology and if you share some opinions you can get along better on other topics.

In some sense, it's the job of public education, particularly through the curricula of history and $local-official-language, to establish that consensus ideology - to create unity by exposing everyone to the same large landscape of stories, opinions and beliefs, so that any two people of a nation can quickly establish some common ground between themselves and get along.

Indeed you did not.

Likewise no one “accused” you of that grievous transgression.

A build step is not required for any of that. I use prettier and jenkins on a large js codebase that never gets transpiled, packed, or minified.
I dont disagree. Except that I think at all levels employees discussing wage and benefit helps the employees and provides more look into what is being kept from them.

Stronger employees will make stronger product. Even if that means stake/shareholders, who do not make the product, will receive less return on investment.

So: what is the purpose of business? Provide jobs? Provide ROI? And at what ratio? Once that is decided, it’s easy to figure out what’s “allowed.”
I am about to open source a web-app in the field in about two months.

Been in the making for 7 years, is in use by famous big-corps for few years already.

Bi-directional Jira integration built-in.

I am not mentioning the name of the tool simply because the landing page is really not where I want it to be at the moment

If you are looking for a solution in the field can DM me and I'll give you access to the code before we complete all the open source preparation.

Our speciality is that the tool solves both the communication problem (Trello, Asana) and the planning problem (MS Projects). Typical client will have 50-400 active users.

No, the Trinity is never referenced in the Bible - God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are always treated as separate entities. The doctrine was made up by the Church to avoid the obvious polytheistic implications in the straightforward interpretation of canon.

Ask HN: Whatever Happened to Udacity?
Udacity is an education company which, according to Wikipedia, is even a year older than Coursera or EdX. Its golden years seem to be around 2014-2015, when it produced a lot of great content, including courses by developers from Google (I particularly remember a PWA course released around 2015, and a course on web accessibility; a course on computer graphics was great as well), or professors from Georgia Tech. Then it all seemed to stop. Udacity still exists as a company; but it hasn't released any more exciting free courses since then. What happened? Both in 2015, when it looked like top educators were happy to partner with it and create content for it; and afterwards, when it all stopped? Does anyone here know their story?
Except that the experiment happened before privatisation, rather than after, which is the point, I think?

That’s true, but you can say the same thing about reactivity: not having it is always faster than having it. These are not zero-cost abstractions; we use them because the alternative tends to be less performant at scale, but technically you can always beat them by going in and manually updating the DOM yourself.

Tooling, existing ecosystem, built during 40 years of production deployment.

Rust is naturally safer than C++, however there are still many domains where a bit of yak shaving is required before actually coding what one cares about.

So it boils down to where to spend resources, and as note, I am definitly not a fan of Orthodox C++ ideas, rather having C++ improve its safety story as much as possible.

Some people do things because "why not?" We tend to call this "having a hobby". And if you can monetize it in some way (post on Youtube and get the revenue from that), again, "why not?" It's weird to knock someone for enjoying doing something they've done and sharing it with the world.
I had a company insist I carry employer practice liability insurance (epli, iirc). If my employees sexually harass someone, or get fired, there may be lawsuits, and epli will supposedly cover this.

I'm a single person company. I have no employees. More than a couple insurance brokers I contacted said "we don't have anyone who will write an EPLI policy unless you have employees".

Contracting company was insistent I had to have it. But... if I didn't want to get it, I could w2 through them. I bought the insurance anyway (expensive, though I've since found cheaper options for it). I had done w2 through them before and ... I'd forgotten how much taxes get withheld - months without having access to my money or ability to pay my own taxes. And... they messed up some paperwork filing a year before which took ... my own time/money to correct.

Because it's not a business. Health regulations for restaurants also don't apply to your kitchen at home, even if you are inviting friends for dinner.
This claims to be well-documented and secure by default, but I cannot find a link to the documentation (or is it just the README)? What actual algorithm is used for encryption and for signing?

The README has a major red flag:

> From the math perspective, there is no difference between private and public keys, they both can be used to encrypt messages that only can de be decrypted by the other. Most of the security tools, including enc, artificially forbid using the public key for decrypting messages because that's not how it should be used (encrypting messages that anyone can decrypt is pointless).

Most security tools forbid that because it is dangerous! Also, this description sounds like textbook RSA is being used...

This, this, and this again. Lots of patterns Rust enforces are sensible choices even with a garbage collector, because data races for instance are still a thing even if you have automatic memory management
I do appreciate that you write tests. I find it's like pulling teeth with most devs to get them to write anything but the most basic of tests.

I tend to think more than write code, so usually my first go is reasonably close to what I need. But there are always edge cases you just never think about. I'd rather have a strong debugger than a repl imo
Brit here. I view tipping as dishonest. It's a trick to make something seem cheaper than it is.

They're your employees, you pay them. Don't expect me to be a charity. Give me the cost up-front. If I decide it's too much, then I should take my business elsewhere. "That's the price, cough up or piss off."

Be honest and straight-forward in your dealings.
As far as I can tell, the piece makes excellent arguments. What are your counterarguuments?
Lots of distributions precisely clean swap on boot or shutdown for security reasons. Also, clean a swap that is relatively small is faster than zeroing a full disk.

Your argument does not validate the use of easily recoverable .env file. Recovering a .env file is easier than recovering virtual memory.

> I remember, there was a case where a farmer grew patented plants on his field. They spread to his neighbours field who then got sued by the patent holding company for not licensing that plant. My memory is a bit fuzzy here but you get the idea.

You are thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_Canada_Inc_v_Schmeise.... He is often heralded by anti-GMO activists as an example of the dangers of GMOs and Monsanto, but the fact of the matter is that the "cross contamination" is a myth. He deliberately took cultivars from his neighbour's plot and analysis showed that they comprised a significant portion of his crops, which wouldn't be possible by cross-pollination alone.

Should seeds be patented? Are Bayer, Monsanto, Syngenta, and agrochemicals companies evil? These are all worth discussing (the answer to the second question is yes), but that particular myth is not.

Show HN: Spaghettify – A VSCode Extension to make your code worse with AI
Recently, I saw Github Next Code Brushes (https://githubnext.com/projects/code-brushes) which is a VSCode extension that can use AI to do things like make your code more readable, add types, etc.

This inspired me: what if there was an extension that could use AI to make your code worse as well?

Meet Spaghettify. An extension I developed that can do things like:

- Obscure your code

- Introduce a bug

- Make the variable names way too descriptive

- Use nonsymmetrical whitespace

- Add irrelevant/rambling comments

- Document the code with emoji

- Document the code in any style (Dirty Limerick, Fast Talkin' 1930s Gangster)

I built this extension over the last couple of days and released it in collaboration with BCAD.one. It's available on the VSCode Marketplace, you will need an OpenAI API Key to use it. You can grab it here:

(https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=BCAD.spa...)

Interesting, it's the other way around for me with screens. Glossy screens have better colors and text looks crispier to me, something about the lack of diffusion around character's borders. I honestly don't know how matte screens are still a thing: you can always turn a smooth surface into matte with a screen protector, but not the opposite.

God forbid the farmers benefit for free in some way from the unpredictable and uncontrollable pollination of a plant genetically engineered to be a highly successful cultivar.

I'm not attacking you here, but the logic decided by the courts may be lawful but it is not moral (in my opinion). It's as if a noisy neighbour hosts a late night party and you happen to enjoy the music. The neighbour notices and decides to charge you for the streaming fee.

I'd love to work with US vendors because that would solve a lot of problems, but I tried twice in 2022, and it went disastrously both times.

I tried working with a US vendor on assembling PCBs, and the soldering was incredibly sloppy. They repaired it for free, but it was a month delay when we didn't have a lot of time to spare. I gave them another chance and the next batch they did had a defect rate of 30% whereas our Chinese vendor's rate is <1%, so I bailed on them at that point.

I also tried working with US-based sheet metal vendors on making enclosures for my product, and it cost 6x as much as the Chinese competitors for drastically poorer quality.[0]

This has some truth to it, but it’s also a cynical middle-brow dismissal.

Plenty of rich are ultra competitive and plenty of poor people are collaborative. Also, older are generally a bit mellower and reflective, but even teenagers can demonstrate good team work and community thinking.

I have some experience with libxml2. I would say DOM parsing is partly inefficient due to the many small allocations, and the library does not offer fine grained control over it. The allocator is globally replaceable, but that's not very flexible.

I wished many times if I could just use an arena with a dumb allocator for a small document and just drop it when I finish with the document, but it's not very easy to do with libxml2, unless you write your own DOM parser on top of SAX.

Gotta be careful when talking about "Free Markets".

Thing is, there are generally two different things that people can mean when they say "free market":

1. A "market economy", as contrasted with a "command economy"—ie, more or less the way the US does things, as opposed to the way the Soviet Union did things.

2. An "ideal free market", as described by Adam Smith, which can, in theory, ensure that many systems find a stable, efficient equilibrium that balances consumer desires with producer desires.

The problem is that, however much many (particularly of the Libertarian bent) wish to believe in it, the latter is not real. It is a thought experiment, and it requires a bunch of conditions that don't always apply (eg, perfect information, commoditization, etc). The other problem, of course, is that as I said, the two are often called "free markets" interchangeably without clarification, which leads to much confusion.

You seem to be referring to #1 when you say "there are free markets within the US"; however, what WalterBright is talking about is clearly #2, since he's referring to ways that idealized free markets theoretically operate.
They surely apply if they happen to get food poisoning and sue you afterwards.
Same, weirdly.

Then I read the comments and was confused, lol.
