I thought about building something like that for photographers to get gigs from large real-estate photography contractors who sub-contract the work to independent photographers. Automated tools would benefit the photographers greatly. The benefit comes at the expense of those not using automated tools, so the morality of such a tool is at least somewhat questionable.

Yes. A computer trusting itself used to be the primary way, and still is in many cases, of how viruses work.
I wonder if the post-Watergate "campaign finance reform" was not about stopping the influence of lobbyist but rather putting in limits that make it cheaper to buy politicians.

If the limits came off and it became more expensive it might put an end to it. If it cost $10 to get $1 in tax savings people wouldn't bother turning the tax code into Swiss cheese,
I am using both Nextcloud and iCloud, and Nextcloud has been syncing much faster every time it mattered (i.e. when sharing files with the family).
>A crowd that is ideological resistant to reality in quite a entertaining fashion. Just remember the Boing 737 Max, which was never explored under this focus.

Boeing was heavily criticized by HN in every thread I saw about it. You picked a wrong example.
I disagree. Errors are failures. Not just failures in code execution, but also, objectively, shortcomings of the programmer's skill. It's very difficult to deny this because there is usually a lot of evidence.

However, there is something to be said about accepting one's mistakes and not wasting time dwelling on them; and instead looking at the bigger picture, or at least at something more constructive. Life in general is a lot better once we learn to do that.

For the new software engineers that are too frustrated by their constant mistakes, I want to say a few things:

1. You cannot become an experienced software engineer without getting the experience.

2. You cannot become skilled in a programming language or any tech without spending the time to become skilled at it.

3. You were not born entitled to be a good software engineer. As a baby, you were objectively awful in the discipline. As you have progressed to your current level of expertise in software, so will you continue to progress.

4. It is best to not overthink software engineering and just try to do it well.

5. You are the only judge of your failures and successes in life. No one else in the world decides how you feel about them. It is your prerogative to forgive your own mistakes - big and small (like a coding error) - if you so wish.

6. All new software engineers make many mistakes.

7. Likewise, all experts in every field regularly make mistakes. Just the kind of mistakes are different. But it is the human condition to make mistakes.

8. You will probably get to where you're going in the end if you persevere.
No, you see, there’s no problem here because people would’ve been crashing into things at an even higher rate without Tesla Telepathic Full Self Driving and Penile Embiggening All Natural Herbal Vision AI Sentient System (Beta).

> Modelling your frontend as a bunch of reusable components is a big benefit of frameworks. I think it's hard to go half and half with frontend component and backend templating though.

I've heard this before, and just don't get it. I have, can, and do create view "components" in both Django and Jinja2. They're just templates. Templates that get included in other templates. I've never (never) got to a point where I thought "darn, I want to abstract out this foo thing as a component, but can't". When I really want front end interactivity - like charts - then I'll use a JS library or a web component. With htmx, I can even do partial page updates.

None of that requires the very significant overhead that React/Angular/whatever bring.

>I'd rather use Preact than write vanilla JS for basic state management.

I'd rather use the backend. Because it owns the state, and cache invalidation is one of the two hard things [0].

I put my caveats on indistinguishable images. And three is the challange - to make a better estimation of an effective number of distinguishable images.

> (b) that AIs will never be as capable of qualitative "originality" -- in conception, composition, or subject matter representation -- as a human artist would be.

Sure, AI already creates original things. The point is that questions like "create a drawing that presents friendship" can be approached from many, many different, and what is crucial - subjective, ways.
Psychedelics, meditation and mental illness show you or change the contents of the house - but you can never leave the house of the existence of consciousness. The closest thing we have to that would be death, and even then you only know if consciousness disappears if you die.

In fact, you would not even experience the disappearance of consciousness - because the consciousness that would experience this has disappeared. It is impossible to experience the absence of consciousness.
But that's not the case! declarativeNetRequest still allows adblockers to modify arbitrary content or send requests to their own servers, and the webRequest API still allows extensions to track every request and analyze it.

There's no security gained whatsoever. If it was about security, the webRequest API would have been removed entirely, but they didn't do that, they just changed it enough to prevent it being used by adblockers while continuing to allow tracking.
Many Nokia, especially the e72 smartphone. I had one in a windows phone too.
I think the question usually with these situations is can they be renovated in a way that retains the aesthetic or positive features of the original while addressing problems? In this case just hypothetically it might have meant keeping the urinal style but extending dividers downward, or spacing or something. But it would have necessitated custom work and some design problem solving.
I've been surprised to find myself making multiple similar pivots over the years. A lot of what I dismissed in my younger years as lacking of intellectual merit, I have come around to value much more highly than I ever would have guessed.

It's funny, but dancing in particular has been my greatest fear for as long as I can remember, so I've always done my best to avoid situations where I'd be forced to do it. Not only did I not see the point or appeal, but I deeply dreaded the prospect of going on the dance floor.

As fears go, however, this one is quite innocent, and also fairly simple to face. And how empowering wouldn't it be, to overcome ones biggest obstacle? So not too long ago, when I was invited to a dance class by a group of friends, I decided I'd go, just the one time, as some sort of exposure therapy.

The dance was tango. As I had expected, I was anxious, stressed, and scared through the entire class (although it was very helpful having the excuse that it was my first day). What I did not expect was how fascinating the dance would turn out to be. How beautiful and elegant, yet also technical and structured. I saw our instructors dancing some dead simple improvised steps, and somehow, despite not being planned out at all, they were totally synchronized. There had to be some brain-to-brain communication going on, a sort of body language that I could not yet perceive or understand, but that I knew I wanted to learn.

That was six months ago, and since then I've gone to some sort of tango thing multiple times a week, every week I've been able to. I'm still nervous on my way to a class, and it takes a few dances to warm up and get loose each session, but I'm starting to enjoy it and feel like I'm actually dancing. In the process, I've come to understand more deeply what people mean when they say "there's more to life than X".
Could you expand a bit more about your bookmark management strategy?
What about those who dance like Elaine Benes?

I'm just not made for dancing. I suck at it, and even if I "loosen up" I'm still awful.

It's best for all if I just sit in the corner with my phone reading hackernews. Trust me.

Typically, in new markets and product categories, you should not consider early complimentary products as competitors, but rather as partners. During these early days, all participants are still trying to validate the product value proposition. It’s only after this value proposition has been validated and an initial market has been established that you should then start treating these other products as competing products.I think this mental model applies to the emerging generative AI markets
People who aren't looking out for his best interests or use him as fodder for their various agendas.

Some people on hackernews think I need to educate my son on being guilty for being born male.

I also don't get it. The whole reason for CORS is "Resource Sharing" (e.g. indirectly using resources like cookies belonging to another domain). With direct sockets, no shared resource is being accessed, all the browser does is open a TCP connection (e.g. no cookie accessed or sent anywhere).

I can understand that TCP connections could be abused by some websites (e.g. using your browser for spamming, accessing unsecured local services, etc.) but this can be solved with a permission style popup just like with the geolocation or webcam APIs.
> amazed with hub gears

I've never seen hub gears on light or even medium weight hybrid/city ALU bikes. Which suggests there is a problem with hub gears. Maybe they are heavier, or more expensive, or harder to maintain, but they are not popular.
Last time I checked launch costs, and tjose are incredibly hard to come by, SpaceX prices were the LEO-launch equivalent of Ryan Air's 20 Euro tickets. So hard to compare. Also, for a bunch of launches, Ariane-5 was already a couple of years ago competitive with SpaceX launches. And the only real customer so far for cheap, low orbit launches using re-usable rockets is SpaceX itself for Starlink.
I guess you haven't gone down the whole prepper's Rabbit hole? Well it's "year of the Rabbit" so maybe now is a good time, haha. Neither have I, tho. But I'm dimly aware of it as something out of the corner of my eye that I maybe/probably should get into looking at (at least) at some point in the future.

However, even tho I live in one of the most "geopolitically contested" corners of the planet (you know that place that the Chinese Nationalists retreated to after they lost the Chinese civil war around 70 years ago? That place that was occupied by the Qing dynasty, also partially a Dutch colony sometime in the past, also owned by the Japanese Empire at some point), I don't think I need to worry about that situation^0. Sometimes, the most obvious things are the most stable. It's the Black Swans -- the unknown unknowns -- that we need to worry about. Or at least, not worry about (because what's the point? That never got anyone anywhere...) but maybe we aware of...and try to prep for? Somehow anyway.

I definitely plan to do my "earth pole reversal epic 12,500-year cycle flood" safety zone map, and purchase some land so I can build my survival bunker deep into the side of a mountain. I heard the Rockies is good. Plus, snowboarding. So there's that.

But honestly, I think these things are like real estate: location, location, location. So probably...it really matters where you base yourself. And if you can diversify, or base yourself wisely...you'll be one of the small number of survivors to inherit the Earth. Haha. Kidding...almost.

0^ about that...Everyone seems to think Xi Jinping needs to do that for his "legacy" or "personal vision" or something (equating him with Putin in his zeal for territorial spiritual integrity or something), but I think...Xi Jinping is an epic practical/pragmatic/humorous/patient strategist...why give up a good thing? If it ain't broke...don't fix it: the current status quo seems to be working (because of, not in spite of, the current contested nature ~~ in a similar way that NI/ROI profit from the division) on multiple levels to play into the interests of multiple super powers (US/China) and multiple satellite powers (Shanghai/Taipei/Western countries that deal with Taiwan on some level). Xi Jinping went from dust-herder son-of-Party-exile, through forget-him-if-you-met-him regional non-controversial/non-threatening Party kahuna, to leader of resurgent China. He's the master of conceal your strength, move in darkness, strike like thunder. If he was really going to be invading Taiwan at any point militarily, you think he'd be telegraphing that shit like the mainstream narrative discourse has it about the situation? No way, I say. But that's just me. What do I know? :)
You could still have a reverse proxy to deal with the worst of it. But if the client could already talk the right protocols it would remove a lot of unnecessary complexity.

Like the others, you apparently failed to read my full comment before deciding what I must have said.

There are traits that can arguably be considered "suboptimal" that can be part of an ASD diagnosis. But they are neither necessary nor sufficient for someone to be autistic. That's why I said "autism is not [..] suboptimal in itself" (emphasis added).

Also, can we please stop pointing at children when talking about autism? Somehow everybody who does so stops caring about them as soon as they're old enough to speak for themselves. Autism isn't defined by autistic trauma, we just don't care enough about autistic people to acknowledge them for anything other than their trauma responses.

It doesn't even find inflections, such as plural/singular. But as a writing tool, it can only lead to contrived constructions that seem to be the realm of sports journalists: "The multiple medal winner" ... "Last year's 500 meter champion" ... "The Londoner" ... "The former law student" ... when referring to one and the same person during a race.

I do like that it lists them on the side, and allows you to remove them.
True, that's why you don't want to block the pageload on this signal alone, just use it to trigger a captcha.
Uncritical duplicate removal, yes. But I edit a lot of work and duplicated words are one of the things that I see time and gain, really dragging writing down. IMO, removing duplicates is one of the cheapest wins, a very easy way of making improvements so long as you do it at all reasonably.
Dancing is interpersonal, but not for Elaine. Look at how people enjoy your dancing and react to it. That's part of it.

Our just dance like nobody's watching. Elaine sure does.
Extending your argument, why then should we not test drugs and medical procedures on human beings, if there's no distinct difference from humans to rats to microbes? It's fairly obvious that if the objection to rounding up a bunch of human beings for use in sacrificial drug testing and other research is based on rights, ethics, morality,legality and so on, then why doesn't that concept of of ethical morality extend to clearly conscious animals?
I have a super rudimentary understanding of what BGP is (it allows you to advertise addresses something something), but I don't really understand why it's useful and thus I'm finding TFA to be a little inaccessible. Could you provide some context about what you're using BGP for (what is your use case; what does it enable for you; etc) such that it might fill in some gaps for me?
The interviewer can pick up a lot from these stories. Being rigid on a particular code review tells a lot about the specific scope of your work and what matters to you. Followups might be about how your critique was delivered and received, i.e., your interpersonal skills. Followups about impact can tell about your judgement and how you think about the balance between quality and speed, etc.

It's not clear how to decide which threads to bundle together. Checking identical URLs is too narrow (e.g. the three threads mentioned have different URLs) and how to match by content isn't so easy.

I fail to see the connection. Can you elaborate?
A wavelength that doesn’t penetrate the troposphere will make it impossible. You don’t seem to take your own idea very seriously…

You are confusion implausible with impossible. Sure, it is not “impossible.” It is just absurdly unlikely. I mean seriously, you will need lasers on the order of hundreds of MWs in power, beaming to tens of thousands of planes flying at any given time. It doesn’t take much effort to realize the sheer cost and unreliability of such an idea.

And your appeal to “long time horizon” is just an excuse to not think through the issue. At long time horizons, other ideas become viable, and ones that are much more practical.
Some of this might be intended for the pros, and with time modified to be more robust for the retail consumer market.
Who's to say which hole is the "first"?
Can you talk about your team's motivations for improving headless mode? Any particular use cases in mind?
There are many comments about potential abuse. I would be curious to know if your team have ever challenged each other to look like a real person accessing a site and the other part of the team tries to detect and block them? If there is anyone that could do this it would be the creators of Headless.

Why go through the exercise, one may ask? I believe it would be a critical thinking exercise to improve Headless even more while giving website maintainers a way to opt out of receiving traffic from it. If not your team, have you reached out to see if people from project zero would take on that challenge in their abundance of spare time? [1]

I was interviewed for a job a few days back and I was told that these heavy JavaScript libraries are the future of the web. I'm still confused.

I'm pretty sure "Resource Sharing" is about resources on a server being loaded from other origins, not about sharing client-side information. This is a client-side restriction. By offering an alternative you ship a workaround for CORS, effectively disabling it.
That's probably because everything we've been taught about fat since the 80s turned out to be very wrong. Read up on the problems with the Lipid Hypothesis and the food pyramid which resulted from it.
But I don't.
I don’t think this is correct. I write scientific computing code in Rust at the moment for example — I write unit tests to make sure it actually works.

Being confident my stuff works without unit tests would require me to write unit tests and then delete them.

You might consider looking into some resources on Intent vs Impact (eg, [0]).

IMNSHO, anyone working in tech has a responsibility to consider what their creations can be used for, in addition to what they intend them to be used for. There's just too much potential for scalability of nefarious behavior to do otherwise.

When I was younger I had a job where I got time off in lieu for any time over the normal time. This meant I could take time off at other times. I never minded working late.

In my current position, I don't have that. Deadlines need to be moved if they can't be done in the normal working time. I think it's also because I am older and have more commitments outside of work.
>react much more slowly and/or less accurately.

I’m not making an anti-capitalist point, but I don’t know how well that point holds because it seems like the same case can be made for the other side.

For example, the financial markets were slow to react to information in 2006-2007 until we had already driven off the cliff. Some would say the same about climate change etc.

It seems to me that a hybrid system is actually the best as balancing that risk.
Few observation / opinions from a parent who sent kids to a Russian math school in an area with “good public schools” and kids are now older (HS & college). YMMV.

The teachers by and large care about and enjoy math. That is good. It’s rare to see this in public schools in the US before high school.

Unless your kid loves math, don’t make them do it.

Kids under 6th grade don’t need to grind and do lots of homework. Aka chill.

For one concrete data point refer to this[1] chart which tracks the mortgage backed securities (MBS) held by the fed. This is fed creating money (for the lack of a better word) to indirectly fund home ownership. What started out as a short term measure to avoid a Great Depression post 2008[2] crisis ended up being a more permanent policy fixture. That is about $2.7T of new money created since 2008. Let that sink in.

2010s were quite unprecedented years in terms of new money (and hence new debt) created. The repercussions were everywhere; crazy VC funding (Uber/Airbnb etc.,), insane tech salaries, record high stock markets and so on.
