I’m as annoyed as the next person at those looking to see the new twitter fail, having said that I simultaneously love the idea of new things challenging the status quo. Decentralization is somewhat a core tenant of the hacker ethos so I don’t think it is strange to see that reflected here.
What is the legal issue? And what does it have to do with accounting??

I don't expect it to stay closed source. But there are significant differences to Mastodon. Just to give one example: Mastodon server admins actually can read your private messages. Also Blue Sky's approach to data portability and how to implement filtering/indexing is more developed. It might be personal preference, but I prefer AT Protocol's approach where the servers have less powers, and the users have more power. A lot of little design decisions add up to a qualitative difference.
Is this change related to the data leak vulnerability? (this one: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/25/23656627/microsoft-fixes-... )
You're probably right. I vaguely remember being told they only worked on volatile compounds.

Is this a GPT-generated article? I see lots of weird patterns like the following, from the section on HTTP/3:

>QUIC uses loss recovery to recover from packet loss. QUIC uses a combination of congestion control and loss recovery to recover from packet loss. This is similar to TCP where TCP uses a combination of congestion control and loss recovery to recover from packet loss.
Maybe someone has a patent on this, and accounting said "we're not gonna pay" and legal said "we don't want to get sued"?
We were talking about open Wi-Fi networks.

This paranoid alternate reality where tv companies are paying every ISP for backdoor access is very, very far away from flipping the “opportunistically join open networks” bit. It’s also not borne out by either research or logic.

Nothing works like that. They don’t care about you, beyond the pennies they can make. If it costs (and it would) they won’t do it.

This is.... just a random internet comment made by a commenter on the chrome bugtracker with no evidence supporting it? What the Chrome team actually said was:

"We've removed support for user stylesheets from Chrome. The feature had many problems. It was used by a very small percentage of our users, was not very user-friendly (e.g. you need a high level of technical ability to use it) and was slowing down our ability to make improvements in other parts of the product.

Chrome extensions allow you to inject CSS stylesheets into pages, so it would be possible for someone to create a Chrome extension that replicates this functionality in a more user-friendly way"

You can agree with this logic or disagree with it, but it had absolutely nothing to do with Accounting or Legal in any way shape or form. Why are people acting like the linked comment has anything to do with reality?
I am always afraid to ask, but what hidden ads ( I didn't delve in to CSS much )?
> In summary -- their RabbitMQ consumer library and config is broken in that their consumers are fetching additional messages when they shouldn't. I've never seen this in years of dealing with RabbitMQ.

What do you mean by "broken"? Are you implying that the behavior they're describing is not the way the consumer library is supposed to work? They linked to RabbitMQ's documentation basically saying that's exactly how it works. Also, where do you get the sense that they've misconfigured it? You've made these statements, but did not exactly enlightened us as to how one should set things up to have consumers handle exactly one job at a time. That was their only problem (Edit: an answer by @whakim https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35530108 is providing more light on this).

The rest of your answer sanctimoniously presumes that they don't know how to use the tool, but your own proposed solution is moot, as it seems to address a different problem, not the one that they have (1 job per consumer max).

In a car dependent society such as our America, how do we expect a humongous and rapidly aging demographic to handle their loss of motor skills? By simply staying inside and becoming entirely dependent on kids they never had?

They’ll be out on the roads - get a bigger car and don’t bike. I’m sad about it as well but I don’t see many options unless you’re in a unique area.

For context, 1/3rd of Americans today are over 55.

Due to exponential growth and innovation everything any of us have ever known is one of a series of crazy experiments. I don’t think car dependency will turn out to be a good one.
You need to pay for the necessary patents to include an H.265 decoder if you intend to distribute software in countries that care about silly things like software patents.

Mozilla famously relied on Cisco to gain h.264 playback, because the patent included a certain maximum total price you needed to pay after exceeding a certain amount of devices. Cisco exceeded that amount, so any additional devices they supported were practically free, and they released a free h.264 decoder plugin for Firefox. The pricing loophole has been removed out of h.265 so a Mozilla decoder would cost them a lot of money.

In theory you could add codecs to your browser just fine, but Mozilla has already indicated it's not planning on adding h.265 to their browser, focusing on AV1 support instead.

Perhaps Mozilla would welcome patches to allow forwarding h.265 streams to the OS for decoding, like Chrome does, but they're not going to put the effort in themselves. With hardware AV1 decoding finally on the rise, I don't think that's a bad decision necessarily, companies and websites opting for the patent ridden format over the open format knew what they were doing.

Shouldn't it be persisted/cached once working, possibly with some test/refine/retry?

Requerying everything from scratch when using seems like not optimal solution there?
Why?

The vast majority of people aren't interested in terrorising minority groups, or anyone, or enacting violence of any kind on any people of any kind.

While situations like that, and sites like that are an important issue, they're not the type of issue that spirals wildly out of control and takes over the world if left unchecked.

It doesn't mean they should be left unchecked - any such negative outcomes are horrific and awful and should be minimised as much as possible.

But it does mean we don't need to feel terrorised by them, which is good - as we'll make calmer, more rational and, so, better decisions about them.

I know, and got excited about it for a while when it happened. I think they should have invested more on it, and even extend it to landing on planets and whatnot, like how Elite Dangerous did, but on a second thought, maybe not as not every game needs to be every other game. It's just not for me this way.
Wow, this is the most convoluted and overengineered way I've seen of setting a timer.

It even involves a third-party server and email registration.

I'd check out the Slack, which is where I've seen a few projects integrating it coordinating.

I think DuckDB is one of the projects that has the best support for executing Substrait query plans. I think for most other projects there are some forks with substrait support (e.g. datafusion) but nothing merged to upstream yet.

I'm not sure if there are any systems where it is integrated and yields tangible benefits yet (though there is decent progress on common tooling, so that shouldn't be too far in the future).
> Seems like they're not using the tool correctly

To their defense they openly admit this

> and didn't read the documentation.

They clearly did, they even linked to it.

But, as a sibling comment mentioned, they could probably got away with a basic get instead.

As documentation writers (and often that should be read "as developers") it is our task to make our users fall into the success pit - and stay there.

Unfortunately, by not considering this, thousands of hours get lost every year and lots of potential users leave because they were somehow (Google, random blogs, our documentation) led into the hard path.

My favourite example is how, for years, if you tried to find out how to use an image in a Java application you would end up with the documentation for an abstract class 2dgraphics or something, while the easy way was to use an Icon.

I can’t hear a beat frequency against my tinnitus tones, and I really wish I could. (I’ve tuned my guitar with beat frequencies for decades.) The tinnitus tones are very elusive when I try to pin them down with a sine wave, but I can get close by alternating a sine wave on and off while I vary the frequency... the memory of the tone from a second ago has been more reliable than trying to hear if they’re close when overlapping.
Seems like there's a means to accomplish the same thing, and the title here is editorialized. (and makes it sound like it's a statement from Chromium, which it doesn't seem to be.)

Show HN: KrotoDC – gRPC in Kotlin with Dataclasses
- A protoc plugin data class generator that can be used as a substitute for existing Java protobuf classes that need to be constructed by a builder (which isn't very kotlin-ish).
- generates coroutine service base and stubs that use the generated classes as request/response types, allowing you to completely avoid using Java classes.
- Since it also generates converter extension functions between the generated types and Java types, you can still easily use protobuf-specific features such as serialization.
- Additionally provides Kotlin-specific features (optional fields as nullable, oneof fields as sealed classes).
Reduced bandwidth obviously leads to better quality at the same target bit rate. Phone speakers are good enough to reproduce some obvious compression artifacts of, say, 32k/64k HE-AAC, let alone higher end headphones. ABR could definitely help.
I’d even go so far as to say that human civilisation struggles with the longevity of humans. We’re rather short lived compared to the impacts our actions can have, as a technologically enabled and socially civilised species.

Life really is short. If our lifespan were twice or ten times longer, the whole thing would be a different ballgame.
I thought the whole point of these “open source” Google projects is to give an autonomy to the developers in makings decisions, so I’m quite astonished that the devs cannot make the simplest of the decisions to comply with web standards without fear of losing their jobs!

This one, I think, is them just not willing to admit their mistake. I wouldn't be surprised if the experiment went like this: "Here are the inputs with only underline. In one of them the label is inside the input". In this case sure, users will better understand it's an input if the label is inside.
Agreed. I previously worked for a well known service provider that relied on a single SQL database for queueing hundreds of jobs per second across all regions. The system was well understood by everyone at the company and the company had a surprisingly high market cap. You can get very far with the simple thing.
Legal - "If users can render ads invisible we can't claim they're seeing them, and we can't charge people for them."

The p3rl.org/Minion job queue has a sqlite backend and I'm aware of it handling what seemed to me a fairly acceptable amount of throughput and the source to https://metacpan.org/pod/Minion::Backend::SQLite looks pretty comfortable to me.

I've not run it myself in production but I would definitely have heard if it went wrong, I think OpenSuSe's OpenQA thing does build worker boxes that way (though of course they'll have fairly slow jobs so it may just be the write throughput doesn't matter).

This being HN, I'd like to point out you can steal the SQL from the source for your own uses if you want to, this just happens to be the example full implementation I'm familiar with.

I havent followed it recently myself, but immediately after undergrad its a 18-24 month “post study” visa. Then either a grad program or sponsored work visa. And at that point you should have the 3 yrs in australia to qualify for PR. ISTR that during covid the work restrictions were removed from student visas as well, though that doesnt matter much to the subset of students buying multi million dollar properties.
Exactly. A web api, a CLI... It doesn't have to be graphical.
Why not subcontract to an external game development house? Just license the IP to someone who is interested in developing games instead of just running a game platform.

An external dev house could also side-step any cultural/NIH issues. Valve is basically married to the Source game engine, but it is far, far behind what Unreal Engine is capable of these days. A third party with Unreal experience could whip up a gorgeous-looking Portal or Half Life game, and not have to have arguments with Valve insiders about which game engine is being used.
I guess they took inspiration from the competing Greenshot, where indeed it does remap that button to start the sniping tool right away. I've been enjoying this for many years already :D

I can honestly say you might be the only ones. I've never heard or even conceived of such a thing.

There are a ton of ways to avoid this in the first place:

- use CLI to take the screenshot instead of simulating a key press

- don't test on Windows 11

- use reproducible test instances where you've turned this option off

- (if screenshotting text) use... logs?

I'm truly baffled by this complaint.
