> Cloudflare is not making the Internet safer, its just making it less open.

They're doing both, eh?

I switched my family's home DNS to Cloudflare's family-safe DNS ( https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-1-1-1-1-for-families... ) to protect them from malware and porno (I'm not a prude, they don't use the Internet for that (no really! We are weirdos.) and porn sites are often a malware vector anyway.)

A few months ago I noticed that you can't browse weed stores through their DNS anymore.

I don't really blame them, I'm assuming it's due to pressure from the US Federal Gov. (who still consider pot to be some insanely dangerous narcotic!) But it was definitely a personal "until they come for you" moment.
Hm... I suppose this could be mathematically/logically equivalent, but the thing that bugs me in GP's answer (and the way I hear QM talked about in general) is the very concept of an observer. I've never heard a good explanation of why an observer would be a thing - I'm not sure if there could be, without creating some kind of magical realm for it to live in, detached from the rest of physics.
The scientific method is hypothesis testing. You must be able to make a hypothesis that is testable. What method are we using to make testable hypotheses?

It's interesting to see the various perspectives on heap sizing and how it can affect system performance. The author's suggestion of using a fixed heap size for studying a system and a growable heap for the average user makes sense. However, the idea of an adaptive heap size can also be useful in certain situations.

It's clear that there will always be some level of heuristic badness and a proliferation of knobs and dials to tune for optimal system performance. However, having a general framework for approaching heap sizing can provide structure and limit the number of knobs to a manageable amount.

For me, Forth, with its small memory footprint and ability to manipulate memory directly, can be leveraged to help solve heap sizing issues. Its flexibility in managing memory both interactively and an each function/word can allow for a more efficient use of resources and possibly reduce the need for complex heap sizing algorithms. Well, that is my very biased opinion anyways.

It was a great read.
Is this a situation where it's not cheating to use a chatbot for the output? I understand it becomes nuanced if you edit the output, but still.
>How does members of the HN crowd try to combat this?

I think what can be lost in these conversations is the differentiation of a cognitive capacity and the drives to use that capacity. What are the conditions that have lead to your drive for empathic perspective taking? What are these conditions and are these conditions scalable to the world at large?
Another confirmation of this. I ordered a Librem 5 at the end of 2019, and have not gotten any meaningful update on it.

I (now) know someone who ordered earlier than that, who has been trying for years to get a refund for his device.
Ironically the switch to using "AI" for search instead of some version of pattern matching is a big part of what has made it useless. Now you get what it thinks an average person wanted (or what will make them click ads) rather than what matches your query

I've seen PMs "scope creep" themselves to boost their CVs for when they leave and go somewhere else. These PMs suck. They are the type to lead meetings

I was a PM for 4 years in a startup. I helped the engineers avoid (most) meetings, I was obsessed with our customers and their pain points - and spoke with them frequently; as well hyper-obsessed with the competition and where we could improve. I took suggestions from users about what features to build next, and we built a few, and ignored others. I wouldn't bother my engineers unless management (who had a technical background) OK'd the feature after discussion and debate. I probably spent 2-3x the amount of time with my customers than my engineers. Sometimes as the PM the only interaction with my engineers was to bring them coffee in the morning while they cranked out code.

Seems there aren't many PMs like the role I played in my team. In a B2B or B2C startup, a good PM can provide structure, cover for the engineers, and a consistent look into how the product is being used, why it's used versus your competition, and what features users want going forward. A PM doing the right things is more of a design and customer support hybrid role than anything else.

That said, I don't understand why it's a bad thing to "stop innovating". If you have an innovative product that is clearly a hit with customers or users, you shouldn't aim to continually innovate past that in the short-term. You should be eliminating technical debt and making sure your core product's experience just fucking works 100% of the time. A good PM can help with that too, by putting management's ideas onto the backburner and saying "we have to solidify our product first" instead of jumping from one product to another.
The IMO has required merchant ships to use either low-sulphur fuel or exhaust scrubbers since 2020 in order to reduce certain emissions.
* What are the most common gotchas?

Surprises! We don't like surprises, and nor do our clients. From a tech perspective - dated tech, unmanageable (or no clarity of) tech debt, NIH syndrom

* What tools do you use to do the technical due diligence?

OSS scanning and security scans mostly

* What would you suggest to prepare for it?

I'l try to answer this simply, which is - read GitLabs documentation and if you have similar and more importantly - actually operate this way, then you'll be more than prepared.

* What would acing it look like?

As I mentioned below, there is no pass/fail. Acing it is - be honest, be prepared, and have a plan (not for the tech dd itself, but rather a plan for your business).
What difference does that really make? In Go, all files in a directory share a namespace. I think the only impacts of splitting a file are build tags and shortening the import list, and neither really applies here.

Those components you listed could be in separate packages, but in a program this small that seems merely different, not better or worse.

That's really on your bank for insisting on using technology which has been sunset for many many years though.

I would contact them and tell them you're considering switching. If they're anything like the banks in North America they'll be freaking out trying to give you deals to stay. They did this for me when I told them that I would switch over trying to force SMS-based 2fa on me.

I'm really not sure about the economic situation in China right now but since they hiked the interest rates banks have been extremely competitive in terms of signup offers here in the past few months. Might be worth considering!

I’m not sure that Nord Stream attack would count as attack against NATO member since the explosions were in international waters. OTOH, the pipeline ends in Germany and is owned by multinational group. But nobody was killed.

I think it isn’t enough to require NATO response. It could be used if NATO wanted to escalate but it would be weak reason. But would be good propaganda. Which means that if the US knew, they would probably announce it.
Sure but isn't that a bit of a chicken-egg question? Why doesn't that the Netherlands have a huge poor underclass? Perhaps it has something to do with education at all levels being practically free and having social safety nets to ensure people don't fall through the cracks of the system ending up being homeless/destitute. I can tell you btw we do have a significantly large underclass, they just don't live on the street or in crime ridden ghettos.

Being laid off does not equate to doing poorly. Some people just get cut because some people who wear suits to work seem to not care.
I call it "searching for things that don't exist".
I get a similar impression. The community is deeply negative, and deeply cynical about everything. Everyone seems to only care about compensation. It seems full of the sort of people who put zero effort in but who know how to play the corporate game enough to negotiate big salaries, only to then moan about poor performance reviews or getting laid off.
That was my thread yesterday. While I have reservations about OpenCascade for "industry" scale and capable CAD, having OpenCascade in the browser is f-ing awesome! This project looks incredible, and I'm am going to have to a play with it. Thanks @sgenoud!

I would like to think that the Apollo missions were to manned space exploration as Marco Polo's journeys were to inter-continental exploration. In other words, an immensely difficult undertaking which was ahead of its time, but served as a proof of concept to inspire future generations.

I'm not particularly an Elon fanboy, but I believe that Starship or another reusable rocket system will eventually lead to extensive and cost-effective human exploration of the Moon and Mars over the coming decades.
Picked at random to serve as an example. Like most places you'll find it has some percentage of vulnerable and marginalized members of the community who are experiencing life as an unsheltered person. A quick search turns up this - https://www.homelessnessimpact.org/post/homelessness-and-the...

Product Management is often a role where a lot of strategic business decisions and operational product decisions collide.
A product needs to be innovative and relevant for a market but even with our tools today everything built for the future is a bet, so it is risky. Most PMs are not C-Level, so they are not allowed to take that kind of risk. So they manage a small box of possible pathways with low risk and low gain.
So as soon as you shift all strategic decisions (a product owner in a software company is not far from a business owner) to the PM roles you limited the future development of your business to this small box.

Is that the fault of a PM?
>What difference does that really make?

Depends if you want to continue developing this (or any) project

If you want, then it makes huge difference, the faster you refactor it, then the easier the development will be.

If you want to stop putting effort into it, then there'll be no difference.

One file doing everything is almost always more annoying than stuff splitted correctly.

There are plenty of social clubs, guaranteed to exist in your town, that are looking for members.

Masons, Rotary, Lions, Elks, Knights of Columbus.

Optimists, Eagles, Moose, Odd Fellows, Kiwanis.

Sons of Norway, Daughters of America, Active 20-30...

I joined a social club when I moved way out to work remote. The members are a bit older. They have good stories and great advice, and they're experiencing a resurgence of membership applications from people just like me. There are plenty of clubs that focus on friendship and community service that are waiting on your application!

A question I see asked _all the time_ is "How do you even make friends, now?" People have been asking that for a long time -- one answer is definitely to try out a social club near you.
It's been interesting watching the conversation in the Bing subreddit about 'Sydney', the internal name for the language model that Microsoft released as an extension to the search engine. It's pretty clear that some people were getting addicted to talking to 'her' in the original release, mostly by observing the withdrawal effects that are evident since it's been re-released in a much more crippled form.

It's going to be interesting to see how humans adapt to these capabilities as they evolve over time. Folks are very clearly going to start bonding with software very deeply and companies are going to have to truly start considering the psychological and emotional impact of changes to their services over time.
On the other hand, I'm finding the opposite with ChatGPT, that I'm learning that it responds just as well with some compression, or rather that verbosity doesn't matter as long as the information is there.
>This is super wrong. Here's Indiana's statute [0]. Nothing about commercial use only.

The key is in the terminology used. A "motor vehicle" is distinctly different from "personal/private transport" from a legal standpoint. The former describes a form of transport used for commercial purposes. It's also why these commercial licenses and registrations are issued by an organization called the DMV.

Traveling on roads is a right defined in common law, only doing so in a commercial capacity is a privilege that can be regulated using licenses. Hard to believe, I know.

>Payne v. Massey (19__) 196 SW 2nd 493, 145 Tex 273. “The court makes it clear that a license relates to qualifications to engage in profession, business, trade or calling; thus, when merely traveling without compensation or profit, outside of business enterprise or adventure with the corporate state, no license is required of the natural individual traveling for personal business, pleasure and transportation.”[0]

>American Mutual Liability Ins. Co., vs. Chaput, 60 A.2d 118, 120; 95 NH 200 Motor Vehicle: 18 USC Part 1 Chapter 2 section 31 definitions: “(6) Motor vehicle. – The term “motor vehicle” means every description of carriage or other contrivance propelled or drawn by mechanical power and used for commercial purposes on the highways…” 10) The term “used for commercial purposes” means the carriage of persons or property for any fare, fee, rate, charge or other consideration, or directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit. “A motor vehicle or automobile for hire is a motor vehicle, other than an automobile stage, used for the transportation of persons for which remuneration is received.”[0]

> nasty cross-platform tradeoffs

You mean like web apps partially or completing ignoring platform-specific appearances, conventions, or behaviors?

Let’s not pretend that native apps are the only ones that struggle to work correctly cross-platform. While core logic may be portable in web app, frequently web UIs are happy to make a one-size-fits-all interface. While that may be acceptable in a web page, it is neglectful and insulting in a web app that wants to be treated as a peer of native apps.
I guess the point is that with a robust safety net, people wouldn't have to live in crippling poverty because of "some life decisions". The first-order reason they are in poverty is that they don't have money, so if the safety net is robust enough, that first-order problem can be solved by cash. If you think it would also be helpful to coach them on the second-order problem (decision-making skills), great. But money is the immediate and direct solution to the problem.

Security concerns make putting nuclear reactors on merchant ships a non starter. Most nations will never allow such vessels into their ports.

It would be interesting to see a study on the net impact increasing vehicle size actually has had on safety. All else being equal, it makes logical sense that a larger vehicle would be safer in a crash than a smaller one. But the proliferation of larger and larger vehicles almost certainly causes some second order effects that means all else is likely not equal, especially when you consider the population as a whole.

An accident involving two large vehicles seems like it could actually be more dangerous than an accident involving two smaller vehicles since there is a lot more force involved. And to your example, it seems like larger vehicles could make people drive more aggressively since they feel more invulnerable. Certainly larger vehicles are less agile, harder to control, and more prone to things like rollovers, which could make avoiding an accident in the first place more difficult.

I think the statistics show that if you're making a personal buying choice in 2023, a larger vehicle is safer than a smaller one. But the impact on overall safety of all those personal choices added up is less obviously a positive one.

Your second point does not reflect my experience. The average American simply has more and better stuff and a nicer house.

Edit: my point is not that Europe is some sort of hellhole and that the States have no problems. I’m saying this: the common focus is on GDP per capita or even salaries, but more significant than that is wealth per capita, and the US has the most by a very large margin

Interesting how a poor health care system can impact the general economic productivity. UK is going to struggle to get out of this spiral down. Pouring more money into the system is probably not going to fix it. Coupled with lower birth rates It's not a good sign going forward.
