My only beef with unsigned types in Java is when working with external systems that _actually have_ them and converting everything correctly. The 12 or so times in my career where I've had to write or implement protocols on that low of a level might have been a pain, but otherwise I never once have missed them.
Microsoft is very heavily lobbying organizations to use edge as a standard browser right now. They're doing the same to us. It's really annoying. They're hell-bent on increasing marketshare no matter what.

The prices on eBay seem to be about 2x what I paid in 2021. Wild.
Devil's advocate: I don't think blocking bleeding-edge browsers is necessarily "stupidity." If you're smart enough to understand all the caveats of running a bleeding edge software program, you're smart enough to change your user agent string.

If you're not, you have no business running nightly, and you're probably going to generate a lot of "yOuR sITE is BRokEN!" support emails / forum posts / bug reports for other projects, and conspiratorial posts screeching on social media.

I see this all the time - people who run dev branches/nightlies/alphas and have the QA skills of a turnip who have no business doing so...and of course they're noisy as hell and waste a lot of people's times.

If you don't know the most basic points of QA and how to file a bug report that doesn't waste people's time, stop running anything beyond "stable" or betas marked specifically for public consumption. You're not "cooler" or more 133t running nightly releases.
'Intellectual property' is definitely a more controversial concept than you make it sound. Definitely more so than say 'physical property' or 'personal property' would be.
Fiji imports more goods than it exports. As such, ships that bring goods to the islands come in full but leave without a full load. Carrying water, while it seems silly, is a use of that empty capacity.

> The fact that they are going after a single DNS resolver instead of directly going after the site hosting the content is a huge red flag.

This point is tremendous. The intention is outright censorship, and using among the most obvious ways possible. It means that a company, and then government and political entities, can force their will and censorship on all DNS resolvers for whatever reasons. It clearly won't stop at Quad9, but be used as a precedent, to exert near full control and censorship on the web as they see fit.

It's also a set up, for an obvious next stage, in which such companies and government entities will be able to force which DNS resolvers ISPs and users will be legally able to use in the future. Because if they win, they will then create measures to enforce compliance. That can mean, which DNS resolvers are used, because they are or are not compliant.

> ...does not solve this specific copyright violation claim.

The point of such companies and entities is to ignore user rights and to centralize their control, for their profits. This includes forcing their policies and politics anywhere on the planet.

They don't want to have to prove their case directly. Rather they wish to simply be able to make a claim or push that simply the possibility of copyright infringement is enough, so as to exert censorship on 3rd parties of limited resources who won't be able to fight back.
From anecdotal experience, this sounds like a gut bacteria issue. Do you tend to have constipation or diarrhea?
Let me make it a bit clearer.

Can you tell the difference between beer and root beer?

Then perhaps you can tell the difference between socialism and national socialism. Not the least of which is the alliance with fascist Italy. And please don't tell me fascism is socialism in some oblique way.
I've been thinking about this for long time

On one hand I'm fan of standardized exams because they feel very very fair, are transparent and allow you to bootstrap yourself.

On the other hand I see the pros of taking people's traits into consideration because you know, it's not always that the top scorers are actually top people.

Unfortunately how to decide which traits are desirable? who decides that? etc etc.

And just because of that I'd default to first option - pure exams, because they're fair and transparent, rules are clear - just be the best.

But I do agree that in some cases there may be better ways to pick top people - just like during job interview.

The register is still there but they're really pro-big business this time around. Recently there was an piece about how happy we should be with all the corporate Linuxes. Bow to our benefactors :)
I expect this to be the start of a trend based on my own personal experience. I bought some "compostable" bags for my kitchen scrap bin that I would then dump in my outdoor composter. Six months later when I went to get my compost, large pieces of bag not only remained but had harded into solid chunks. Took an hour to sift out the chunks from the compost.

Edit: turns out I was ignorant of how they actually work.
Doesn't help with visualization, but there's a SystemVerilog/Verilog plugin for Jetbrains IDE (Clion etc) that is actually really helpful. Does renames, code completion, structural view, etc. like what you'd expect from a real IDE. I far preferred it to working in Vivado.

When I was using it, I used it with FuseSoC, and only dropped into Vivado when I needed to muss around with their "IP integrations, etc.
it's interesting yea, they keep track of what you pick up and put back and sell that data to the company of the product you decided not to buy, its an opt out program thats really hard to find.
> IMO It's better to adopt Chromium-based browsers and put pressure on Google to avoid letting it become the sole decision-maker about the web.

Google doesn't care about us raging on HN, normal people are not going to 'put pressure on it' so all you're really doing is letting Google to become the sole decision-maker about the web, even more so than it already is.
I guess many people are in your situation. If they used Firefox, maybe it would help the "Google hegemony in browser tech" problem?

When clicking the link in Chrome on macOS, it goes into an infinite URL redirect loop w/ one of the URLs being "unsupported browser."

This didn't happen the first time I clicked the link, by the way. It occurred on the second.

The first click, I was redirected through a bunch of pages until I landed on the sign-in form.

It took a few seconds to arrive there after navigating the redirects.

I thought the experience was so janky that I decided to try it again, then discovered the redirect loop.

The problem IMO is that Mozilla became a corporation for Firefox. Their goals are now aligned with the parties they're supposed to fight against. Obviously that doesn't work.
Did you have the QR code they email you for dropoff returns? No app needed (besides email).
"Stop using single use items" is a REALLY hard goal. Outside of extreme homesteading/off-grid situations, I don't think it's actually possible. At the grocery, I can purchase some produce and dried goods (from bulk food bins) without needing single-use items. But most of my produce has stickers or rubber bands, even at the farmers market, so I still cannot avoid them.

"Grow everything yourself and never interact with society" doesn't seem like a very fulfilling life to me.

A good way to put pressure on Google is actually to use Firefox.
If your a priori belief is that every group (however defined) has the same merit then every measure of merit is biased except 1. a coin flip 2. some form of group quotas.

Standardized tests are the least-bad way to measure merit. We should try to make them better, not get rid of them.
The core problem is that merit-based entrance is inherently at odds with equality of outcome. Families that are better off rais more capable children on average
I disagree and it’s quite wrong for many European countries, for instance.

The whole idea is that public transport would be preferable in terms of time, comfort and cost. It can be done, there is no technical challenge whatsoever, it’s all politics.

In many cases traffic is so bad that cars are just as bad. But the key thing is to sacrifice / build lanes exclusive to public transport (busses) because those lanes effectively are so much more efficient.

We have a ton of electric busses already, which makes such transport even more ideal.
Fine then make a rotating door or other thing you can’t jump over!
So did you get your refund? If so, sounds like it wasn’t a disaster.
Living a fulfilling life does not require you to take actions that shorten it. Party every night if you want to, but you’ll find out eventually that’s a short term enhancement that isn’t a sound long term life enhancer or lengthener. The best strategies - the really great ones - have been confirmed over millennia as doing both.

Since the move from single use plastic bags to reusable ones, my environmental impact has increased.

Firstly I now have to buy garbage bags, where I previously reused shopping bags. That completely negates the benefit. But let’s ignore that and say most people just trash them.

Even in that case you’d have to reuse a reusable bag 20 times to break even. I don’t know about you, but on average maybe I get 0-5 reuses out of these bags. That’s just squarely worse off than we were before.
"is at hand"
I use Safari so for now I don't consider myself part of the problem.

Though I do launch Chrome to use Teams (because Teams is mandated by my org and I am too shrill and opinionated to install the desktop client).
The kinds of things that are locked up aren't even OTC meds that could be used for illicit purposes. We're talking about antacids and COVID tests too.
Never been that way for me. If I need to return something, they email me a QR code. The cashier at the UPS store scans that and takes my item, gives me a receipt, and I leave. I don't log into Amazon to get it.
You don't see leaving something for your kids/family to improve their lives as meaningful? I don't require a reward after death to want the best for my wife/kids. Lacking a family, why not charity?

I'm of the opinion that, barring another technological revolution, we're at the top inflection point of an economic S curve, at least from a global perspective. The insane growth of the past century is an anomaly, and future economic opportunities will be fewer and harder to access. Which means I need to build an Ark for my family to weather the coming flood. Fortunately I'm starting from a relatively favorable position as a US-based software engineer. If I can die with 10 million dollars from a lifetime of investments and work, that ensures my kids can take advantage of the fewer opportunities that will exist. And maybe my work can do some good for others along the way.

And yes in the grand scheme of the heat death of the universe my family's welfare is meaningless. But that perspective only produces excess suffering for no purpose. If you require fundamental, universal, logically substantiated meaning to feel like life's worth living, that's vanity. No human has ever had that or will ever have that, why should you? Being comfortable with "I don't know" is part of being an adult.
I always return/drop off at UPS. In and out in 5 minutes generally. But I guess UPS has been in the business of the extremely complicated "scan preprinted return label with hand held laser" game longer than Amazon.

Agreed. My first thought was - what percentage of the target market could you serve with coding to specs for MacBooks, which have deterministic hardware.

Or if the tuning parameters exist with some range, use a traversal algorithm to find them, similar to an eye exam: “A or B? [change parameter]. A or B? [change parameter]. Repeat”
Jitsi is really great yeah. It works in every browser and the video is much smoother than teams' is. I think jitsi favors framerate over quality and teams does the opposite. I really prefer the framerate approach because it makes it feel much more natural, like you're really talking to someone instead of a postage stamp sized picture on the screen.
Same here. It was the first and unfortunately last tech stock that I took a gamble on because it failed so gloriously and I was so sure of it.
Jailbreaking does not "count" as sideloading toleration. Its always relied on elaborate security exploits that are basically happy accidents.

What you are asking for is full sideloading or at least alternative app stores.
Quick thoughts:

- System design interview changes depending on the company. At Facebook the interviewer said one sentence in the whole interview to me, no feedback or anything, so be prepared for nasty ones. At Google they hate if you use a particular product to solve your problem and everything needs to be backed up by numbers; they'll ask you how many servers you'd need for your solution ("bill of materials").
- Expanding on last comment, it's common to see in books and courses a basic math of number users -> estimate usage -> requests per second and storage needs but I've never seen anyone take one estimates about servers by computing processing (CPU/RAM) needed.
- This guide, like almost all resources in particular takes on the most common case of web design: client-server request/response (plus queuing). There are other completely different paradigms that show up less frequently and are harder to have experience on, like streaming and batch processing.
- As all guides given space/time limitations, some key concepts are hand-waved with a recipe-based approach.
"Not Invented Here" syndrome gets bad. The foreign solution is often better, its already there, etc; but I wanna make my own to see how it works inside. I often do that anyway, in some sketchy prototype form, just to get a better handle on what the popular, polished solution is doing before I use that.

Wasted capital in the form of tooling and parts to do things I did once, and have yet to be called on to do again. I've got a great soldering iron I pull out once every couple of years to do a job that could've been done by a much cheaper tool. Makes for a fun junkpile and I get to be the guy that has that obscure part on hand a lot; but (for example) who needs a 50 to 80 pin SCSI adapter today?
> inclusive hiring culture and find exceptional engineering talent.

Thats a contradiction in terms. Building something exceptional always involves excluding mediocrity
What about Safari?

From my experience, most WebRTC issues (i.e. Teams) are involved around Safari instead of Firefox or Chrome, provided the SDP negotiation is sequenced correctly.

> Anti-Catholicism is a huge part of the history of the UK, Ireland and the British Empire. As such, it has no particular connection with white supremacy

It does in fact have a particular connection with American white supremacy and, historically, with construction of race in America. You seem to be making the irrational jump from “X originated separately from Y” to “X has no particular connection with Y”, but that’s neither logically warranted nor as at all reliable as a practical guide when looking at elements of culture.
The semantic similarity is not always sensible, either. The underlying model needs some work.

Ugh! I feel like I'm blindly stumbling around a maze of puns, or a Saturday NY Times crossword full of eye-rolling clues. It just feels like unsystematic guessing at what the semantic similarity model might contain.
Even this remark assumes familiarity with “ITP”, as if it’s some web standard.

They don't want to pick a fight with Cloudflare or Google, because they have deep pockets, and doing so can clearly backfire on them in multiple ways. Where if they pick on easier targets, they then can get the courts to back their censorship, and use that way to force legal compliance by all DNS resolvers. It's a strategy of a bully or predator, where they see a weakness that they can exploit.

Additionally, many DNS resolvers don't turn over records or anonymize. Which doesn't help such companies when they make a claim. These type of companies want the courts to help them to completely destroy the possibility of user privacy or any protection of rights, as it pertains to any claims that they might make. They want to be able to force 3rd parties and DNS resolvers to be compliant to their policies and profits.

I agree with the conclusions, though I've seen the structured part go wrong, e.g. the interviewer is so dedicated to following the structure of the process that they forget about the empathetic part. These interviews look more like scripts than exploration of a candidate.

So I'd add another criteria: interviewers need to be trained!

Exactly ! In my experience OOM certainly seems to be a Java key principle.

To be clear, this is not about morality, but about following EU privacy rules. As far as those rules go, I must consider US courts to be hostile actors, and any entity that would follow their rulings is a potential threat to me.

I am liable if personal data pertaining to EU citizens is disseminated outside of the process set out in EU directives and local laws. This process does cover a local court compelling me or a local company to hand over something, and so in that case I will be in the clear. However, it does not cover the situation where I store my data on AWS and a non-EU court (US) compels Amazon to hand over the data, so in that case I will be liable for massive, potentially company-ending fines.

People have still not adjusted their behavior to account for the changes in laws, but right now it is very inadvisable for any EU entity to store any personal data on any service provided by a non-EU entity.
