It's a fun exercise, from my (hazy) memories of college lectures, Brutalism is roughly:

- structural elements aren't obscured by decoration
- infrastructure (cabling, conduits, piping, ductwork, etc) is likewise 'left exposed'
- building materials also left unadorned
- physical shapes are building-blocky, not 'finished'
- visual design elements are strictly utilitarian, or incidental to materials

I've gotta say while I mostly agree with the author, this article's "A website's materials aren't HTML tags, CSS, or JavaScript code" claim really rubs me the wrong way right off the bat - the structural elements are absolutely HTML and CSS and JS. HTML is the physical architectural structure, CSS is the visual treatment, and JS is the infrastructure that allows interactivity.

If anything, default browser styles would seem to be the nearest we've got to "HTML (structural elements) aren't obscured by decoration (CSS)." No rounded corners, no drop shadows, no parallax. Which makes "The default visual appearance of a button is often unpleasant or clashes with the visual language of the site" - I think under Brutalism, the clash would essentially be accepted as a hazard of "building materials left unadorned." Maybe you could sneak it in under "visual design elements are strictly utilitarian," as visual design is an incredible tool for usability

Leaving the infrastructure (JS) out in the open is a little trickier, though I guess you could point to open sourcing your codebase and not obfuscating your production code so it's easily reviewable in the Dev Tools as a way to satisfy that ideal. Static HTML sites also seem like they'd be a little more in line with Brutalism than SPAs I suppose.

> The irony is that Google probably would not have done this if the codebase just omitted a license entirely.

Yes they would. Google's code appears not to include attribution to the OP. So either Google authored the code or violated the license. One would hope that it's former.

Ask HN: How can software help with disaster prevention?
Whether it's a natural disaster, terrorist attack, disease outbreak, or mental contagion, what can software do to help prevent these kinds of events? Additionally, in what way does software accelerate the occurrence of these issues?
Do you have a viable suggestion for an alternative provider?
I've seen people say this a few times here but the article says:

"a growing number of employers around the country have decided to build their own housing for workers, mostly for them to rent but sometimes to buy."
Kinda like if Microsoft ran Linux on their cloud...
And Google has such a dominant position in the marketplace that your only choice is to use Google (or a handful of other large providers). That was the thesis: E-mail is an open standard dominated by large corporations.
z is up to the minute in terms of clock speed, CPU process and such. They have a RAIM system which is like a RAID array for RAM which must cost something in latency but lets you replace failing RAM sticks when the machine is running. The rest of the industry will have something like that soon based on CXL.
Agreed, set up you git account kind of thing :)
The same kind of behavior happens in the private sector. Since it’s not government, we don’t call it corruption.
No GC and Python compatibility sounds interesting, is there docs about memory management?

Edit: seems some current hints are under the roadmap "Ownership and Lifetimes" heading but Python compatibility is not described yet.
Yes. Simple multiplication and even division and fractions are part of the national curriculum at ages 5 to 6 in the UK. Which is about the age when I remember learning them decades ago too. I think we learned how to add and multiply fractions too.

By age 6 to 7 they're expected to understand that addition and multiplication are commutative, while subtraction and division are not.
We've come full circle. :)

First there was del.icio.us.

Then reddit was started with the original idea being "del.icio.us with voting".

And now we're back to del.icio.us!
This mitigation helps until the attackers stop confining themselves to the supply pins. You can do voltage fault injection through any exposed metal (or metal that can be made exposed), and the attacker can be entirely happy with attacks where they don't actually pull the voltage plane down, but instead just make some specific circuit a bit iffy by injecting an opposite voltage at some specific point and with low enough current that it's undetectable when looking at the chip as whole.

Approaches such as yours do make the attack require a lot more skill to accomplish.
What good is a R&D performed that can't be commercialized? To me, that is just good research followed by bad development. No one investing in IBM is expecting it to be a public works project.

Lookup the saga of HP's memristor followed by "The Machine" for a similar story.
Well, that's a nicely dismissive answer!

So your suggestion is that people avoid purchasing cars that happen to be very popular in their general area and if they can't (or won't) avoid that, paint it differently or affix bumper stickers?
Reddit only requires a username and password. What info are they even collecting for doxxing purposes? Is this outlined in the terms of service?

>Fingerprinting is not and should not be the sanctioned way of identifying people.

If I understood PornHubs proposal correctly they want to only provide the content if your browser does not send a "Child-Mode" flag or something. Given that parents should introduce children to their first mobile devices and guide them, setting this flag seems not to be so hard.
Just set at account creation "minor: true" and done, or am I missing something?
That’s fair, but if there argument is “At basically no point in history…” it is reasonable to mention that they are mistaken in that belief and the reverse was true for most of recorded history.

Which doesn’t mean I disagree with them, just that their argument isn’t sound. Slavery was also depressingly common and I am glad it’s become vastly less common today.
Online reviews are a product, not a nebulous concept and sites like Amazon depend on them to drive sales of products or are a company’s entire unique value proposition like in the case of Yelp. The idea that reviews are not in some way manipulated at ‘fake’ since they drive capital towards or away from businesses. In other words there are no altruistic reviews. The only neutral content comes from a Random Number Generator, which is thus far impossible to create
Or they have security clearances etc. I'm sure I know quite a few people who go "Hmm. My employer doesn't even really want us posting on social media so on the one hand maybe I can earn a few Internet points. On the other hand, I could get fired. Tough call. (Not.)"
You have no idea who designed the thing, who manufactured it, or who swapped it out while it was in shipping to you

Wait, what? In most cases you 100% know who designed and manufactured it. Regarding "swapping out" a TPM, how do you do that for fTPMs or TPMs that are on the same die as the CPU? Come up with a perfect replica AMD CPU with a bugged TPM? Desolder the original CPU and put the replica in?
Well that's exactly what Postgres.js will do for you ;)
Thank you, I greatly appreciatie your well wishes and the human sentiment behind your remark. I'm glad to have places like this and people like yourself that challenge my beliefs, even when, or especially when, they are rooted in my personal experience.
I thought the whole point of the hash was it could change arbitrarily with windows updates to stop programs reverse engineering it and then setting file associations or browser choice directly in the registry.

Although not sure if it has ever changed before though just by quickly scanning the change log for this app people were using to set it https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/10/25/setuserfta-userchoice-hash-...
The problem is not what happens to the shareholders (they get zeroed out the same way that shareholders of other failing companies would be), but what happens to the depositors. The rules, as written, say that deposits above $250k can be wiped out. The rules, as the government applied to the SVB, made large depositors whole.

So we have the worst of both worlds: no depositor guarantee de jure (so depositors bailed and brought SVB down), but a de facto bailout which has significant actual costs and encourages risky depositor behavior. My 2c.
I'm no economist, but here's my (probably crazy) idea to fix this.

A lot of the problem is supposedly that, seeking higher earnings, banks bought long-term bonds with slightly higher annual yields. Then as interest rates went up, the value of these existing long-term bonds dropped (because who wants to buy an old bond with a low interest rate when a brand new bond has a higher one?).

This is OK as long as nobody withdraws their money. The bank could simply proceed with the original plan: pay its depositors the same rate it has been, wait for bonds to mature and sell them for their full face value. It's only when people pull money out that they have to sell bonds before their maturity.

So, the government could (here's the crazy part) just let banks and everyone else redeem bonds early. You've got a 3 years left on bond for $10K paying out 1% interest, and you can't wait the 3 years to get your $10K? Fine, we will let you cash out before the 3 years is up.

Yes, it would cost the government a huge pile of money to do this, but the government borrowed that money at (what are now) insanely low rates, and it locked in those low rates. They're getting a super sweet deal on those bonds. Giving that up is not an outrageous ask.

Basically, this would kind of act like an infusion of money for the banks, but only in the sense that the rate they borrow at is more in line with the rate they lend at, i.e. a more typical, natural state of affairs.

This would probably need to be done gradually, like tell everybody you can cash in your bonds 3 months early if you want. If that's not enough, change it to 6 months, and so on.
I love MLIR. The modularity and friendly abstractions make it incredibly flexible. I've now used it to write _multiple_ domain-specific optimizations and transformations for some of my recent research! It truly bridges the gap between different devices (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, etc.). I pray more people adopt it so it doesn't end up abandoned!
I have an amazon return center pretty close to me and they have a machine that you scan the code, door opens, put item in, close door, done. I've done so many returns that the QR codes only take a few minutes to do all the items.
Frankly, it’s a lot easier if they’re imaginary/unreal as then there are far fewer facts in the way of whatever narrative the storyteller is attempting to tell.

Few things are more irritating when telling a story than having to deal with inconvenient reality.
The parallelism of Mojo would make it an interesting language for a web framework.
If Amazon and Walmart are so great at being centrally controlled, why did both of them introduce third-party sellers to the platform?
Your imagination aside, the statistics show a decline in Firefox numbers, and it has a woefully small marketshare (~4% across all devices). It's been declining for 12 years. They lost ~50m users in ~3y.

"Techies" have or are moving on because Mozilla's pace of development is woeful, and compatibility is poor. Killing the RSS reader was the final straw for many. Disney advertising in-browser was another major moment.
Well, that'd be an argument against ghost encounters, not necessarily against "any kind of afterlife". There's plenty of afterlife beliefs that don't involve ghosts at all.

Moreover it's assuming that being a ghost would actually impart some incredible insights, or that the behaviour or experience of being a ghost would necessarily reflect that. Most of what I know about ghosts comes from the movie Casper (1995), and in that ghosts are depicted as beings who can't move on from some trauma from their life. Maybe the incredible insights come later, after moving on; maybe the nature of being a ghost necessitates fixation on the "mundane".

I'm also not sure (nor am I not not sure) that most accounts of interaction with ghosts would even be described as "mumbling on about something mundane". A Christmas Carol (fictional) depicts ghosts as providing life-changing spiritual guidance, for instance.

The best - and only - argument we have against belief in any kind of afterlife is that we have no actual evidence for one. The very idea lies outside of our capacity to know.
> lend deposits with appropriate risk controls

Forget stimulus/inflation political goals, can you imagine how horribly this would get weaponised against "people the current administration doesn't like"? I don't have faith that this exceptionally powerful tool would not go unused.

Putting that aside, what risk controls are and aren't appropriate? An advantage of having a variety banks is that there's much less of a 'one size fits all' approach to banking services. I also don't have faith that a federally-run bank would be very flexible to anybody outside of the box. I've been in a situation where some bulge-brackets institutions wouldn't provide certain products since I didn't fit exactly in some pre-ordained image of what a customer would look like (and it wasn't even something you'd think a bank would have issue with.....)
Tech Debt and Robots
To me - as a long term FF user and Mozilla critic - it looks like:

Spend money on everything except browser development (>$5 billions!).

Market share down the drain.

Use the market share as an argument for a lost cause and spend money on everything except Browser development.

Ladybird - a browser spearheaded by one person - will expose Mozilla of what it is.
Do you have an idea on monetizing it or not yet?
The government would seem to have every recourse to collect.
I appreciate your apology as it sort of came across that way.

I'll give you a real-life anecdotal example to expand a little on my point. My buddy is a front-end developer for a company which produce pretty basic "stuff" (sorry, I don't know anything about front-end) according to him. He says that he's gotten lazy and unmotivated to do anything about it. This leaves him unchallenged and he doesn't really like his job. Once GPT arrived, he's been able to (according to himself) reduce 70 % of the boring boiler-plate code type work he has been doing for years, by making GPT write it for him, and him just verifying it works. This has ultimately allowed him not only to focus on taking on more interesting projects where he can challenge himself, but also spending a lot of the time he previously spent writing "bullshit boiler-plate code" in learning new and more challenging front-end things.

I can easily imagine people in other jobs, in IT or perhaps in other fields already using GPT to reduce the boring parts of their jobs. I can genuinly not recall having heard anyone say a new IDE or any other tool since the arrival of the computer itself reduce their "boring work" load this signifcantly. So I think at this point it is reasonable to assume that access to GPT will become considered as commonplace as having access to a computer or email (given you work in a field where those are considered basic/primary tools of course), and that employers will have to adapt. If not, people will disregard rules / go "shadow IT" or even consider quitting.
I still don't understand what you're thinking of as assets vs liabilities for a bank. A bank's assets are any cash it has on hand, plus any loans it issued / bonds it purchased (I think that's what you meant by investment assets?). A bank's liabilities are its deposits as well as any other money raised via bonds. It's not clear at all what you're referring to as "money from investors" as that could mean money the bank borrowed (so show up as liabilities) or it could mean money raised via sale of stock (which is not a liability, but shows up as owners equity).
Yes: they are a very small group of people, repudiated so decisively in the last Democratic primary cycle that Brandon Johnson had to run anti-defund in the Chicago mayoral runoff. Nobody is winding down the police. You've gone a little on tilt here.
I've been trying to think of a way to foil ALPR (to evade private tracking, not tolls and the like). I never thought of taping leaves to my plates. I might give that a try.

Are you afraid that you're going to "inherit" the issues the python ecosystem has through your goal of full compatibility? Or is Mojo more like Numba, in that only parts of python will actually be supported for full acceleration? At least your docs[1] seem to say so..

I think this is why insolvency is bit opaque for banks. Literally any bank will be insolvent if everyone wants their money out at the same time. So you have to be pretty clever about how you estimate the risk of insolvency.
Remember "Firefox OS"?
Maybe I'm daft but how would ISPs be able to control it? Solely based on domain name? What about porn intermixed with other content on sites like reddit?

I've done fair amount of psychedelics and all they convinced me of is that people who think the experience is spiritual are credulous.
I love the idea because it makes typeclasses possible, but not super-easy which means devs will be discouraged from making Haskell's typeclass soup.
We still work with an AS/400 (IBM iSeries) on a daily basis for legacy data, and it's impressive to watch how quickly our older staff members navigate the interface and get work done with it. It's several orders of magnitude faster than our newer web-based ERP, and I don't think I can be convinced that any modern browser UI will ever match the efficiencies offered by a terminal-based interface. That's not to discount the numerous technical benefits you reap by moving to a modern software stack, but strictly from an end-user usability standpoint, the AS/400 still wins in my book.

It doesn't explicitly encourage you to do it, but it's very much right there - waiting to happen because you always just pass a string to the query function? In Postgres.js you have to use a function that is specifically named `unsafe` to do that.
Right, and I'm not even criticizing those people. If you have a well-paid and fulfilling job, a nice home, and a rewarding social life, it's not that hard to turn down the triple cheeseburger in favor of a salad. If you're on the opposite end, that cheeseburger may be the most pleasure you can look forward to all day and it takes a lot more willpower to resist.
Or the company will pay for a similar tool that doesn't share the data externally.

Public transport is already funded through taxes. We already paid for it.
This is exactly what I was trying to figure out. It seems like the answer is no at this time.
Wonderful, yeah, great way to put it into perspective. I hope everyone knows by now, but the media feeds off unbounded, hysterical-style risk. Putting a cap on the worst case (or average worst case) frees you from the fear of the unknown.
well, if you claim omega is odd, are you willing to claim omega + 1 is even? There is no ordinal B such that 2 * B is omega + 1, so it fails that definition. So you have to say omega is odd and omega + 1 is also odd, which is... odd.
What labor shortage? It's an employer's market right now, with a glut of high-quality candidates looking for jobs.

... who don't lay off entire arenas full of people and discuss stupid platitudes like replacing them with AI.

Pretty much. Management's messaging around this was so delusional - "replace with AI" - that it's obviously a stock play from a company desperate to cut losses, not a positive statement from a going concern.
exactly. As I heard, google can be pretty bad at support, for example. Better tech does not mean better experience overall
The way I go about it is that when I find it, I raise it politely, I offer to drive the fix, and then I add it to my resume, and then I tour with it, being "The Guy Who Fixes Things". That way I do get something, even if I'm completely detached from the original thing.
It sets a dangerous precent because these tools make it seem like you can remove stuff from the internet for good, when you cannot. They don’t do anything for services that crawl reddit and archive all your posts.
It's probably been a long time coming. Good riddance, I say.

> Let's not just sit back and go "Oh well, they lost nothing they could do" shrug. They built their tech in such an obtuse and opinionated way it's impossible to integrate anywhere else, milked their millions selling off customer data to Google via the default search interface, burned the money on private jets and shockingly overpaid low-talent low-vision executives. Burned engineering talent on a VPN service no one asked for just because it's a good money making scam if you advertize it on the right podcasts, made huge parts of their deep engineering teams redundant.

Is any of this actually evidenced somewhere? I'm not aware of Mozilla ever using private jets, and the last time I checked their executive compensation it was on the lower side of average for corporations with their footprint and financials.

Maybe there are facts or sources that you aren't presenting, but this as-is just comes off as a screed.
