Don’t draw diagrams? Seems like not using a very valuable tool. Diagrams help you think and thinking can save you time in building the wrong thing or the wrong way. The diagram shouldn’t take ages and pencil/paper is fine.

Interesting, that’s not been my experience.

I’m a self-taught developer and I’ve only focused on areas I’ve been interested in, which has been fun for me.

I wouldn’t be hired as a Sr. Engineer at a FAANG but I was able to build a successful development agency by just following what I wanted to learn about.

But I could see how at enterprise scale how that might not work. But at startup scale it’s been really effective for me.
Because the API needs to work for random item types. C doesn't have templates (and for stuff like this C11's _Generic isn't helpful because that just maps specialized function names to generic function names, but doesn't help with the generic implementation code).

Hard not feel like shit. Yesterday there was an article on reddit about how so many young men are single and sexless, which is certainly true for me, going on 5 years. In addition to the loneliness. Feels like an epidemic.
Isnt badger an old news by now? I had mine for quite time:

On the other hand, the thread is a comment about the challenge of not contradicting yourself too much, not a claim that doing so is going to substantially impact the work.

Pretty much every creative work has contradictions and discontinuities that people gloss over, even (or especially) stark ones in critical success. The people who really get riled up about it are a very particular kind of person and not one I even meet outside of internet forums.
I had to use it in the 90s for a job I had at an automotive OEM.
Not just losing religion, but losing every source of shared purpose that people have historically relied upon. Religion is bad. Having kids is increasingly looked down upon. People are losing any and all sense of professional duty.

And yet, no alternatives have been offered.
Yes it’s exactly my experience though 10+ years (MX + MS). I really want other EVs to be an option, but the charging network is laughable (cryable) in comparison to Tesla’s.
If you believe there's a world "where OpenAI 'solves' jailbreaks," then you believe there is such a thing as software without bugs.

Like everything in nature, socializing has a function, and it has been increasingly eroded by technology. Even a few thousand years ago it was the deciding survival factor. As we move deeper into the information age, it seems more and more inconsequential. In my own life, a broader social circle has mostly proven to be at best good entertainment, at worse it can hurt you, but usually is just wasted time. You meet people, learn their incredibly mundane and predictable lives (not excluding myself here), and then life happens and you don't see them ever again, or at least not enough to make a difference.

Having a social network of people to constantly talk to is not needed unless we go back a few thousand years in time... which, to be fair, could happen with some global catastrophe, however if civilization keeps going, I think socializing will be about sharing thoughts, and not so much about physical proximity.
DYN_ARR_RESET should probably be called DYN_ARR_INIT instead, as calling it more than once will leak memory.

The handling of endptr in DYN_ARR_RESIZE seems to be incorrect. If I have an array with 2 elements and capacity of 3 and I DYN_ARR_RESIZE it to 5, I now have an array with 5 elements, 3 of which are garbage values.
This is a great question.

I think the biggest barrier to adoption is lack of end user demand for the service. That is followed by people not understanding/believing the incredible increase in user experience and security. It's almost like people think it is too good to be true.
There is, but in this case it was the employee's personal software that allowed the back door. It's ludicrous that LastPass allowed employees to put sensitive data (i.e. their password manager) on personal computers with, apparently, no restrictions on what software they run.

Closing the barn door doesn't guarantee that the horses can't escape, but when you don't even have a barn door, it's hard to blame the stable boy when the horses get out.
>In behavioral studies, lonely people picked up on negative social signals, such as images of rejection, within 120 milliseconds — twice as quickly as people with satisfying relationships and in less than half the time it takes to blink.

Depression smells like a significant confounding factor here. Indeed, the article may be re-written "depression reshapes the brain", which, like, yeah, ok.

Taking a look at this now, for the first time in months. There's nothing in here about comedy not being allowed. It does discourage users from making comments like yours, though.

Shallow jokes to break up heavy conversations, like about our society slipping into a dystopia, are very human.
> On another note, I did make the mistake of paying $15,000 CAD/year for a software engineering degree compared to $8,000/year for a CS degree. Now, in my final year, I'm taking many of the same classes CS students take. I would warn anyone in the same position in Canada (or the US) to seriously compare the two curricula when making a decision.

I find this interesting, at least at the school I attended, there was no difference in pricing between degrees like this. Almost all of the computer related programs are just included under a BS (bachelor of science) and covered by normal tuition.

There were certainly focus differences between something like Computer Engineering vs Computational Media vs Electrical and Computer Engineering, but the prices were the same, and many of the core classes were the same.
If only we could change that state of affairs!

Aren't mistaken repossessions and accidents during repossession things that happen already? The used car market is incredibly predatory and full of the same car getting repeatedly repossessed from new owners.
You're writing these almost faster than I can read them. Thanks

Question: Does the 1BL thing imply that the 8086 is not capable of detecting useless prefixes? So the next 2 implications are correct:

Eg1: lock cs: clc is just treated as clc, and the lock and cs: are ignored?

Eg2: The 8086 has no 16 byte instruction length limit, unlike some successors. So e.g 16 seg overrides:

Cs: Ds: Es: Ss: Cs: Ds: Es: Ss: Cs: Ds: Es: Ss: Cs: Ds: Es: Ss: mov [1234],5

Is just ss: mov [1234],5

Shame on T-Mobile.

That said, perhaps everybody using SMS 2FA is equally culpable (e.g. most banks). Nobody who has worked at a mobile carrier would ever think that they're ready to be high-value targets. So it's puzzling that the banks are so eager to put them in that position.
I believe this. I have a single credit card that I use only for our T-Mobile bill on autopay (the credit card offers insurance on my phones via this method).

About 2 months ago I noticed $15 charges very cleverly disguised as Amazon prime. The only giveaway was that it said the number was entered manually.

Everyone with T-Mobile autopay should check immediate for an Amazon prime charge that was manually entered.
I hope you've found a suitable replacement job! LMK if I can help.

Verse 1:
Had a pickup truck, my favorite toy,
Whiskey in console, feeling coy,
Drove on dirt roads, feeling free,
With a girl on the tailgate, in tight blue jeans for all to see.

Chorus:
My truck left me, feeling stuck,
Drinking whiskey in my blue jeans, feeling yuck,
Miss the girl on the tailgate, her pretty look,
Truck is gone, now I cry like a rook.

Verse 2:
Fell behind on payments, lost my ride,
The truck drove off, with the girl by its side,
She wore tight blue jeans, hugged her curves just right,
Now the truck and the girl are out of sight.

Chorus:
My truck left me, feeling stuck,
Drinking whiskey in my blue jeans, feeling yuck,
Miss the girl on the tailgate, her pretty look,
Truck is gone, now I cry like a rook.

Bridge:
It was just a truck, I know,
But its departure dealt a painful blow,
I'll find a new ride and try to mend,
But memories of the girl and the truck will never end.

Chorus:
My truck left me, feeling stuck,
Drinking whiskey in my blue jeans, feeling yuck,
Miss the girl on the tailgate, her pretty look,
Truck is gone, now I cry like a rook.

Outro:
Maybe one day my truck will return,
With the girl in tight blue jeans for all to yearn,
Until then, I'll sip my whiskey and dream,
Of the truck and the girl, a perfect team.
Living without an income for most of a year wasn't cheap, but I had planned ahead for it. I developed a budget, and I trimmed my spending down to the bare minimum. I got rid of my car and bought a cheap beater. I cancelled all of my subscriptions to things, including all streaming services, etc. I stopped eating out. And much, much more. If something wasn't needed to live, and didn't fulfill me on a deep level, I eliminated spending on it. I actually increased spending on select other things, though, as it became clearer to me what was actually important and what was not.

It taught me important things -- namely, that I can live on 25% of my usual spending without being any less happy for it. Much of what I spent was totally wasted -- it didn't improve my happiness one whit. So, now that I'm back in the workforce and earning good money, I've maintained the habit of spending very little. The excess money gets saved or invested.

I think it has made an enormous positive quality difference in my life.
Agred. Her "opposition" to it seems to extend to vaguely stating that it shouldn't "overreach". The cynic in me would suggest she's exploiting it to advance her image as an "anti-woke" campaigner. The phrase "we should not legislate against hurt feelings" is particularly strange in this context.

It's this product, which is built around a ED133UT2 panel by E Ink: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/epaper-1/...

You can find this unit and other IT8951-based driver boards for it on a few different places/in different catalogs but Waveshare's easy and the price seems OK.

The ED133UT2 is a Carta 1200 display. The latest Carta gen is the 1250, but AIUI it's only relevant for color displays with the change being a thinner film that allow plastic color filters to be closer to the ink to improve contrast. I think the current greyscale 13.3" offered by E Ink's direct shop for $449 sans driver is still a 1200 - at least many vendors list VB3300-NCB as just an alternate name for the ED133UT2. The Carta range of displays are well-known from Amazon's Kindle and many other reader products, so my newspaper is basically a big honking DIY Kindle.

They also offer a 10.3" panel with even higher resolution for half the price of the 13.3" that's supported by the same controller and should be fantastic for all sorts of home dashboards.
FWIW, most of the games in the series are also almost completely unrelated to one another. Same could be said for FromSoft's titles and probably a lot of Capcom's stuff too.

A lot of RPGs are a perennial quest to make the same thing over-and-over again but better. If Final Fantasy had any chance of surviving in today's gaming climate, it needs to ditch the nerdy number stuff and feel as good to play as it's contemporaries. In a world where BoTW and Elden Ring exist, I probably wouldn't play an Octopath Traveller-style Final Fantasy these days. I say that even as a JRPG fan and turn-based apologist.
We Americans don't have representative government; rather we have an increasingly less convincing simulation thereof. Your question is merely a specific example of this.

You might follow with an obvious question about Indonesia. Since that nation is a vassal of USA, the answer is equally obvious. Let's not stop thinking just yet. This is why context is important. The certification scams you cite serve to move wealth from the poor to the wealthy. That is bad. Requirements that imports to poor nations not be mostly trash serve to protect the wealth of the poor from that sort of extraction. That is good. More familiarity with Indonesia, or with any similar developing nation, would have provided you with this knowledge already.
I agree, but I'd add in the caveat of "... in the context of a fleshed out bigger picture for what you're trying to solve".

A lot of software lacks a clear plan. A big patchwork of local maxima commits that won't get you where you need to go.

So I say go ahead and draw some pretty pictures. What's the overall vision here?
And I try to convince my family about it, but just cannot get it through to them that "kindle the tablet" and "kindle the ebook reader" are entirely unrelated products. What a terrible bit of branding.
> There's no law that just "makes security happen"

In another thread I proposed making white-hat hacking legally protected, even without permission from the company. If your system is constantly being tested by mostly white-hat hackers seeking their next responsible disclosure and bounty, then that's something.

Bug bounties already exist, but they're opt-in, and companies that need them the most are not opting-in. We also see the people who do things like press F12 get legally bullied[0].

Changing the laws to protect white-hats and responsible disclosure would help. This would be a law that "just makes security happen".

It would need to get into Electron, if possible, then apps would need to update to the newest Electron - which many apps don’t always do.
I like that the comments mention another two implementations of a similar idea and all are a bit different.

Here's one I've written a few years ago: https://github.com/kiryk/mlisp/blob/master/vector.c

You may find it dirty, but it can be wrapped using macros, and used both on LHS and RHS like in "string(v, i) = ch"

Usually increased build system complexity, outdated manually maintained bindings, etc etc... - in some languages (like Zig) this is really trivial, in other languages it can be much harder.
If the only lever you have to keep people from slacking off is "yell at them", you're a bad manager.

The free stuff in the office isn't meant just to coddle employees. At scale, perks are cheaper than higher comp. It becomes hard for smaller companies to compete on them. It also improves productivity. Free lunches mean people are back their desk within 30 minutes, instead of taking an hour to drive off-campus. If you have the profit margins to fund this stuff,
and a scarcity of talent, it's a no-brainer.

Fascinating read, even if not very technical. That type of deep work must be a joy to do. Wonder if there are still places where one might get a chance to work like that, specifically on “low level” stuff
The one and only time I’ve flown out of Pearson internationally to go back home, it was in the top three worst airport experiences I’ve ever had out of hundreds of international and domestic trips, and the other two were understandably due to weather, while this was a gorgeous day with no delays.

Security took me almost three hours to get through, and they had a byzantine system where once you got to the end of what you thought was the entire line, you’d turn a corner to find another long one, and that happened six times.

It basically devolved into a system where it was just a huge crowd standing around, and as peoples’ flights were about to board they’d get moved to the front.

It reminded me of the freakonomics episode where they talk about the LIFO queue: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/what-are-you-waiting-for/
Ask HN: Are you anxious about AI existential risk?
I find myself thinking more and more about it. I read the book Superintelligence back in 2020 and that seemed a bit far in the future. I am now in the process of realizing we are running a massive risk very soon and things are getting hotter every day. Planning and other stuff become more stoic exercises than anything else.

I would also like to put an extra data point. The ex-CEO of the current medium we are discussing has explicitly talked about the real possibility that AI kills us all.
It's subtle with the UI but you can choose not to allow SMS by removing your phone number from Google after setting up alternative 2FA. If they don't have a number they can't sim-jack
Children arw definitely not more alone then before. They are way more supervised then before.

It used to be normal for 6 years old or younger to go to school, Shor or play outside unsupervised. And in poor families both parents frequently needed to work while kids were without adult supervision. Middle and upper class women were stay at home, but their kids could roam around without parents. The helicopter parenting as expectation came in only lately.
In what way is the google search engine compromised?
I would really love some feedback and queries from HN.

I am the first DevRel hire of IPinfo and this is the first product launch that we did that celebrates the developer experience.

that would require the 'AI' to do something that computers are really good at - detect when a particular event (perfectly toasted) has been achieved via inputs monitored at the millisecond without deviation and then change a state - toasting to not toasting - based on detecting that event.
Nice try, Sam Altman. :)
There kind of is, but it does help to decouple nlu, dm, and nlg
Show HN: Summaries and Q&A for dense financial disclosures
LLMs currently seem to be best at summarization and question answering tasks when relevant chunks of source text have been strategically placed within their input context via a semantic search and semantic chunking preprocess. With EdgarGPT we are exploring the limits of this strategy against dense financial disclosure documents, with an eye towards enabling more customized processing of these filings.
The TTPs outlined in the article could absolutely be mitigated by use of hardware keys, and this would reduce customer risk. You are right about the liability and support calculation, but that doesn't mean it's OK to shift risk to the customer because it's too expensive. It is a failure to not have implemented a physical key deployment, and it must be treated as a failure.
Lol k I'm not going to debate you on this. It wasn't always the case that both parents worked full time outside the house but you can believe whatever you want.
Yes, but if you're writing code that you want to be bindable to other languages, you essentially have to follow the C ABI, in which case, writing in C is a natural choice (yes, you can expose a C ABI from other languages, but that's usually not natural and you sort of have to understand C anyway to do that).
I'm not sure how you arrived at "every single step involved must be considered" from "can't be reduced further".

If a step available to you is "buy a bagel", that's all you have to consider.
I think he is referring to “fork the repo and fix the bug yourself” as the solution, but given the existence of far more featureful publicly available Web UIs for Stable Diffusion + ControlNet, if you just want to get something that works on Firefox, you don’t need to expend that much work if you are wiling to host it yourself rather than just using something someone already has up on the web.
If you don't want to read the full 30 page paper, Waymo has a blog post summarizing it: https://blog.waymo.com/2023/02/first-million-rider-only-mile...

It's refreshing to see Waymo continue to be transparent about their safety data. I guess it's easier to do when you have a stellar safety record.
I am so confused how on earth so many people are reading this and not realizing this is exactly about asking the other party:

> someone would speak up to take the conversation to a public channel, and things returned to a more constructive tone.

That's literally "hey, let's take this to a public channel?"

The top level reply is from someone who presumably speaks a different language primarily, and may have missed the nuance of the statement.

But it's almost like the 15+ replies are from people who didn't read the article and took this person's wrong interpretation as the truth.
I'd consider south america as part of the west. I'm from Brazil and I'd never just pop in a friend's house without being invited over. I suppose if you live in a small town that could happen. But I do think americans do that in small towns too.

Before the smart phone I think it was less odd to pop in if you were in the area, but with phones, I feel like anywhere I lived people would at the very least send a message.
Who didn't. Almost any C program dealing with strings and collections has to have their own implementation or import one.

Part of the reason why C developers "feel" productive, but can't produce anything of meaningful complexity.
Btrfs does stuff like instantaneous snapshots for a multi terabyte size filesystem. I have no idea how they do it, but apparently it’s 100% possible.
Thanks for linking that. It was a pretty interesting read, one that I hadn't come across before. Has me seeing things slightly differently, and will keep it in mind when viewing future efforts.
~~Isn't the handling of `endptr` incorrect in `DYN_ARR_RESET` as well? `a.endptr = a.data;` feels very incorrect to me.~~

Nevermind, I see how it's supposed to work now.

To your point, `RESIZE` is definitely incorrect. It should be checking the length before calling `realloc`.
They should program it to just slam on the brakes whenever it identifies a driver behind looking at a phone. Proactively bankrupt such people.
