It is important to acknowledge that allowing the State or any other entity to dictate ownership over a person's body is a violation of fundamental human rights. Every individual has the right to autonomy and dignity, which includes the right to make decisions about their own body and what happens to it after death. The idea of selling one's body for experimentation or any other purpose goes against these principles and raises concerns about exploitation and commodification of human life.

While poverty and lack of financial resources can certainly create difficult situations for families, it is not ethical to suggest that selling a loved one's body for experimentation is a valid solution. Such a practice would further perpetuate systemic inequalities and injustice by exploiting those who are already vulnerable.

There are alternative solutions to addressing poverty and supporting families in difficult situations, such as providing social welfare programs and assistance, education, and job opportunities. It is important to approach these issues with compassion and respect for human dignity, rather than resorting to exploitative practices that violate basic human rights.
That was my take on it.

And the guys in the article didn’t seem all that put off by it. “I want to date and have fun and not commit.” So they’re single, but still dating, just maybe not picking up strange women at bars.

And as much as people use dating apps now, the majority of my friends (late-30s to mid-40s, mostly) met their partners in meatspace. I met my wife at a running club. Others met cycling or other sports. A few were introduced by friends. No idea if this is broadly true, but it definitely feels like more of the successful relationships form the old fashioned way.
>> The Google/Motorola/Microsoft case (and associated FTC order) shows that Qualcomm will not be able to pull the same price gouging shenanigans with patents that are encumbered by requirements to license under FRAND terms.

sigh. Again you are throwing around court cases that don't support Apple or your claim. The Motorola case isn't nearly "associated" in anyway to the FTC case. Further, the FTC case was reversed in an unanimous decision -- due to its flawed construction of Qualcomm's monopoly in premium LTE segment and Apple's sweetheart judge Lucy Koh's overly expansive intrepretation of the antitrust law. The FTC's case is all, but dead and there would be no further legal challenge -- no SCOTUS justice is going to put up with a deceptive kabuki threater concocted by Apple and their Democratic operatives at FTC.

>> The standards essential 4G/5G patents are all encumbered by requirements to license to all comers on FRAND terms.

Qualcomm's licensing terms are FRAND -- just because Tim Apple doesn't like it doesn't mean that it's not FRAND. It's not about Tim Apple's feeling or Apple's margin, but rather about reasonable, acceptable industry licensing practices.

Part of the problem is the idea that people must have X years experience in Y.

I once applied to a game development company. I have something like 20 years experience in systems programming. The problem is that my CV doesn't have any game development experience on it... But when I was about 20, I programmed my own 3D engine, and my own raytracer with soft shadows. A few years ago, I've worked with GLSL as well. I'm familiar with concepts like perspective projection, backface culling, scene graphs, shaders, 3D models, etc. and I'm sure that I could figure out how to work on a 3D game and produce useful work fairly quickly, but these people quickly tossed my CV into the "no" pile because I've never worked at a game development company before.

At the end of the day, I'm doing very well at a different company doing systems programming, but my point is, people look for boxes to check on your CV. This is especially bad if you have to go through non-technical recruiters. Your best bet if you want to get into a programming job IMO is to try to speak directly to developers who work at the company. If you can show them you know your stuff, they might just give you a chance.
Vim9script is pretty darn good; and fun to use.
I imagine a concern is that for many candidates who are under NDA with the current and past gigs, sharing detailed system design info is not something that they would be willing to do. Do you want to penalize candidates who are careful about leaking confidential IP. Given that case the fair evaluation is to start from a blank slate to see what they would build given the requirements and constraints shared in the interview.
Sounds like you should do less stereotyping of roles. You’re assumption that programmers don’t understand UI and need to stay away is exactly what the blog refers to when talking about ego. You think programmers output all their work in a terminal?
Also big tech, we ask senior candidates both hypothetical systems and ones they have experience with.
> Do you suppose market forces could have gotten rid of lead in paint or gasoline if regulations hadn't?

Yes. Consider how cars have become incredibly safe over the years. Is this because the government writes good regulations? No. It is because IIHS (and the government, as well) do crash tests and publish the results. Consumers gravitate towards cars that have top safety ratings.

Ironically, the government is why leaded gasoline still exists at all.
The Luckier You Are the Nicer You Should Be M
Serverless generally means that you don't have a server / servers in the sense that you don't have some specific dedicated server(s) that you can point to running your code, not that there aren't any servers involved in making your code do its thing.
I’d love to see some screenshots of the site back in the early days.
I literally can't diagram 90% of the stacks I've worked on in the last 8 years because they're highly NDA.
It would scan the private photo library on your phone. There is no “public” photo library on my phone, and the default photo library contains extremely personal photos that I consider private and have not shared with anyone else, so I see no value in torturing language to pretend that this is not my private photo library. You are correct that it would only scan my private photos conditioned on a switch being turned on that would also cause those photos to be uploaded to my private cloud backup account. However this does not make that data any less private to me, and it is very different than scanning my photos in the cloud.

Since late 2022 Apple has enabled Advanced Data Protection, which encrypts all photos before they’re uploaded to cloud storage. With ADP on, my photo library is “private” not just in the common-language sense (it contains extremely personal data I have not shared with others) but also in an opinionated technical sense that these files are accessible only to me. If Apple’s CSAM scanner was deployed today, it would be scanning those photos in cleartext on your phone before unreadable data was sent up to the cloud. You could argue that Apple was making a trade: “hey, it doesn’t matter whether we can read the private data you’re storing, the price of sending even unreadable encrypted private data to our infrastructure is that you must run local software that scans the private photos on your phone,” and that’s a trade you might accept or reject on the merits. However I think it’s extremely important to say it exactly this way and not play language games. Apple was going to mandate local scanning of private photos as the cost of using their infrastructure even to store opaque private bits.
Offline search and metadata is a really nice feature to have. I'm glad it is present and I'm happy to see it being improved rather than abandoned.
Yes sure, I agree with all that.

I am talking about people who are super smart but whose lives aren't good (agree, I took a narrative shortcut by talking about the financial angle only - it's more than that)
it wasn't clear at all from a 5 second skim of the code and looking at the readme what the source and targets were
Aside from the Prius, no mention of much needed mass-market, affordable EVs.

Oh, and the Mini Aceman is ugly as sin.
And that sounds like the cost of doing business to me. For especially egregious cases the companies should reserve the right to charge customers for being stupid and wasteful.
Good idea -- but I never thought of it!
This is a pretty common situation in the US for folks who work on government contracts.
> So they are sort of scratching their itch for cognition, but not in a way that makes their life better in an objective way

Maybe they wouldn't enjoy doing it professionally or don't care about "objectively" min-maxing their careers. Nothing wrong with that imho.

Firefox: Settings → Fonts → Advanced → untick Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above. It’ll still load web fonts for Private Use Area code points (icon fonts) and Google’s misbegotten Material Icons with its awful ASCII + ligation technique (see the browser.display.use_document_fonts.icon_font_allowlist pref in about:config), but other than that will stick with your preferred fonts.

I tried this as a two-week experiment a year ago. I’ve never gone back, it improves the web so much.

(Well, actually I also block web font downloading altogether, for no particularly good reason, at the cost of icon fonts and Material Icons breakage, but it doesn’t often matter.)
I switched from Aurora Droid to NeoStore and prefer the latter's speed. Of course now that F-droid has made this change Aurora Droid may improve if/when it adapts.
Do you really? I think thats a situation in which your memory is remembering things in a much better light.
You live in a world where most of those systems you describe are not covered by NDA. Not everyone does.

I thought maybe "the rather famous Ben Franklin Quote" was in one of those references.

But no. So what is it? He has lots of quotes.
There are so many garbage papers in various venues that maybe it's a good idea. It forces readers to check them too, this puts them all on the lookout.
All of this exists in, basically, any mainstream language in some capacity. A lot of them offer superior alternatives.

There's nothing about Python's quality that's worth keeping. The reason for Python's popularity is its popularity. The reason why it won't die is inertia.

But, say, someone creates a "killer app", that runs on hardware different enough from anything we have today, and that someone hates Python (smartphones are the most recent example of such a change), then there'd be a chance to dislodge it. But I struggle to see how Python would "organically" die.
Driving or long cycling rides -- really has you work out things. Also I do like listening to music in the car though.
The pricing of Gitlab already got pretty insane on the upper tiers for a large business. I regret ever advocating for them with how expensive they are becoming.
You mean people willing to participate in this study would.
If your work involves coordinating across timezones daily, you're part of the small minority cases I was talking about. Offline world is still mostly local, and almost all interactions almost everyone has, online and offline, are local too.

She was quite attractive and fit, it is true (still is, 30 years later). We used to ski together. But more importantly as a salesperson she knew her stuff. She wasn't a developer, but she took the time to learn enough that she didn't waste the customer's or our team's time.

A battery is a box of minerals. It can never cost less than the commodity value of those minerals.

So glad I'm out of the dating market and no longer have to worry about this. Creepiness is entirely in the mind of the beholder. Two people A and B striking up the same conversation with the same recipient. Same actions, same words, same attention. Person A could be considered creepy and person B could be considered flirting, and it's purely based on whether the recipient wanted attention from A or B. So it's a huge risk--how are your actions going to be received?
Just because people did something shitty once is not a good reason to do more shitty things

> But how do you meet your spouse at restaurants? Restaurants aren’t very social places.

They can be, and they also often have bars that are just as social as a bar-as-distinct-venue.
Boomer-esque speak.

You're out of touch if you think that architecture is what anyone cares about these days. It's about getting PMF and first to ship. Everything else is not even secondary but completely forgotten. If you can manage to make good architectural decisions while shipping incredibly fast - hey, congrats, you got lucky on this project. But I've worked with plenty of devs with 20+ years of experience and what holds them back is their reluctance to just ship shit code real fast.

This ultimately makes them less usable for management because we're not focused on sustainable and clean code - we're focused on getting that next round of funding, beating the competitor to the market, and pivoting wildly to get PMF. (or just more plainly - appeasing our bosses - whether that's the VC, the CEO, the CTO, a VP, a director, or another manager or some customer who gives us money)

You might think your practice is what matters but what you forgot is that no one gives a shit what you think. The employer gives a shit what you'll do and if you'll do what they want. You don't do what they want? HIT THE BRICKS JACK! Go retire.

Employment is for serfs. You want to dictate the rules? Start your own company.
Unfortunately, while rolling updates account for some scenarios, they are not sufficient for handling out of order restarts where the order cannot be pre-determined. There’s probably some hack you could build with partitioning to mostly address the cases I am thinking of, but it isn’t elegant or guaranteed correct.

This will be a problem for any database where clustering is synchronous and a specific primary node must start first on a full cluster restart. There are other out of band hacks you can do with reassigning PVCs, but it’s never elegant in the current primitives provided.

During my work in this problem space I became convinced that primitives for stateful applications in K8S were built specifically without considering databases as a valid use case. Everything else is just hacks after the fact to make it “work”.
I’m not trolling. Ticket matter is a criminal organization engaged in quasi legal extortion and racketeering.
>The additional complication was that the USPS wouldn't deliver to the house, so they got a PO box, which is common in rural areas. But the USPS won't allow private carriers to deliver to PO boxes. So you need to use a different address depending on which carrier is taking the package. A lot of stores (Amazon!) won't tell you which carrier they're going to use!

Two options:

* Specify both the PO box and street address in the mailing address, like

John Q. Public

PO Box 123

1 Main Street

Anytown USA 00600

This is best for situations where you don't know which carrier the sender will use. People who live in rural areas where they have both a PO box (because USPS won't deliver to their homes) and a valid street address that other carriers do deliver to might use this option.

* USPS PO boxes can receive from other carriers, if street addressing is used. <https://www.usps.com/manage/po-boxes.htm#streetaddress>
your colleague is in sorta-ish good company, considering that nearly every famous mathematician alive during the French Revolution was advocating for some form of time comparable to the metric standard [0], using base 10 instead of 12 or 60. They were making the 18th century equivalent to the utc standardization argument today. And arguably on similarly sensible grounds that it made basic clock math slightly less exposed to simple error.

Alternatively: The broader organization has requirements around accounting, planning, forecasting, resource allocation, etc. that are orthogonal to the engineer's job but critical to the company for legal, regulatory, and financial reasons, and managers exist in part to handle that stuff so that the engineer does not need to.
Denver resident who routinely rides bikes on those trails--mind providing some citations on those so we can know where to avoid?

It is dangerous for sure, but that's what you got.

The difference is that the JIT doesn't "fail". Builds and bundling can fail, and I wouldn't want to trust that all the machinery the builder/bundler depends on (especially if it needs to fetch things over the internet) are available and working properly.

Put another way, as long as the `java` command is present and working on the production machine, I can be pretty sure my service is going to run and work (aside from any bugs in my code, of course). With Deno, more moving parts on the production machine need to be working properly in order to ensure things work properly.

That's probably stemming from different configurations of MIME database on different distros.
Very well said, but even if we were talking about just CSA, this is still bullshit: the one thing you can do to help prevent child sexual abuse is to talk to children about sex, taboo-free, and have quality sex ed starting at primary school children. Emphasising consent, explaining what is sex and how it works, how it's not okay for an adult to do it with you, how it's not okay for anyone to touch you without your express consent, inculcating healthy views about relationships and sex from an early age, etc.

Unfortunately this is uncomfortable for some people (understandable, it's pretty awkward to talk with a 7yo about sex), but it's what politicians should be pushing if they were really about "saving the children". Monitoring cell phones is not it.
I think we shouldn't oversubscribe twitter's failures here. If "normal" vultures had come in and done layoffs Twitter would be in a very good situation. The problem with Twitter's financials now is that it was a leveraged buyout (so now their debt obligations are much higher than they were 12 months ago), and on top of that everything is happening in order to make it toxic to advertisers.

Even before the purchase Twitter was getting to profitability quite comfortably!
Sounds like survivorship bias to me.

Like I said above, there was a lot of very successful outreach targeting men about their body standards for women. This was meant to address systemic problems with eating disorders, depression, and suicide in the opposite sex. We would simply implement the same outreach aimed at women, with the intent of addressing similar social problems that men are currently facing. If we can have fat acceptance for women, then I'm sure we can manage something along the lines of "short acceptance" for men.
I keep threatening to move us to enterprise but the temperature never quite gets high enough to push me over the actual threshold.

I would be curious if anyone else on HN is responsible for running a GH Enterprise instance and whether or not the extra liability is worth it.
Same. But mostly the smartphone thing. Absolutely makes my blood boil.

Figured it wasn't worth the stress anymore, haven't been to the movies in a decade, and probably never will again.
At this point the heterosexual relationships discussion has become so poisoned that I don't think further activism of any kind is likely to help. In terms of constructive solutions, I think what we need are people pioneering new "curated dating spaces" with explicit norms, events for underserved singles with enforced rules that represent some sort of negotiated compromise between what single men want and what single women want. Don't compete with dating apps, that's low-margin and has entrenched incumbents. Partner with nightlife establishments to run events, singles night with a theme of some kind and a reputation system for attendees, perhaps powered by matchmaking software. That's my take.
