I haven't seen either of those things happening from the bluesky team. I've seen them talk about bluesky, which makes sense, but spamming?

Neither have I seen any ads to join bluesky, which would be weird considering you cannot really join bluesky unless you get an invite.

Where did you see the paid advertisement precisely?
I disagree with the premise that valuable one on one mentorship requires a physical presence. I've done a lot of mentoring over Slack and Zoom, and at least on my side, it was a rewarding experience.

I agree that segmentation faults are the right thing to do in a bad situation. But the fact that we are in that bad situation says that there is a problem that we should worry about.

As for memory corruption, you're right that nothing can ever prove that code has no memory corruption. But that doesn't stop crashing from being a pretty good signal that THIS program is experiencing corruption NOW. Which should raise our alert level.

I don't have enough experience with Rust directly as opposed to C to have a great sense of how valuable this signal is for those programs. But then again the programs I see segfaulting all of the time tend to be C programs. So the problem is kind of moot.

DRY has its limitations. Client-server boundary is a good candidate for such a limit.
Static stack analysis is a thing, though it's a thing which annoyingly lacks any real open-source implementation, and any good tooling whatsoever in my experience. It does limit what you can do though, since dynamic dispatch and recursion can quickly make it fail.
That's a great site. I though it was generally Microgramma which I first discovered on the front of a Commodore PET for Sci Fi movies. TIL that one of the designers of Microgramma (Aldo Novarese) later designed Eurostyle and they are quite similar looking. To this day I still often label things with TLAs in Microgramma because it looks futurey to me.

The Microgramma Wikipedia page has a decent size list of it's use in popular culture.

Their point on hiring the best engineers was specifically about not following the hype, and allowing engineers to engineer.

Also, they never claimed technical superiority of microservices, quote:

> For example, a startup with five engineers may choose a monolithic architecture because it is easier to deploy and doesn’t require their small team to learn multiple programming languages.
It's almost like Sam Altman is desperately trying to downplay the significance of remote work, while simultaneously relying on it for OpenAI's success. What a paradox, amirite?
Here's one I saw recently: https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/2/23708385/bluesky-weather-r...
From the AT Protocol FAQ:

> Our solution for portability requires both signed data repositories and DIDs, neither of which are easy to retrofit into ActivityPub. The migration tools for ActivityPub are comparatively limited; they require the original server to provide a redirect and cannot migrate the user's previous data.

So it seems that AT Protocol has a solution to that specific problem, while ActivityPub does not. So there is some differences between the protocols after all, and it might seem like they have at least one reason for creating a new protocol rather than trying to adjust ActivityPub to fit as a solution?
You could literally buy people electric cars at that pricepoint instead.

Don't get me wrong, I'm strongly in favor of taxing CO2 emission, but the problem IMO is that people in general would rather ruin the planet than pay a fair price for the damage that their emissions cause, purely because they are USED to pollute and consume for cheap.

If there was the necessary political will to pay, then I believe that carbon capture would basically not be used at all, because it is MUCH cheaper to just not emit the carbon in the first place...

What is news about electric golf carts?

If someone is in a sunny location (ergo have access to their own solar energy), they already have access to "solar" electric golf carts (e.g., Club, E-Z-Go, Madjax, Star, Bintelli, Elit, ICON, Tomberlin) at or around €9300 ($10362, £8209).

If someone is not in a sunny location, why would they want such a vehicle?

(I believe in Florida, golf carts can be made street legal. https://www.flhsmv.gov/safety-center/consumer-education/low-...

The T-shirt being made is that the transactions are traceable, verifiable, and the system is hard for one (state) actor to shut down or control. Again, I'm not arguing that crypto is the only way to get these benefits, but the idea that there is zero utility seems ludicrous.

But money is also wasted you call it with the traditional system: https://www.yahoo.com/video/pentagon-35-trillion-accounting-...

I tried to find an estimate of how many dollars have gone into crypto mining so far, but was unable to find it. However, I would bet that it's less than 35 trillion dollars
Maybe next year.
There's also surely a budgetary consideration at play. (Sadly, give NASA all the money!!)
Yeah...that's how I've usually done things, too. I'm starting to reconsider, and trying to flip off a power strip with PC/TV/etc before bed.

It is inconvenient to lose state. Web browsers can happily spring back up with previously-opened tabs, but you lose a sense of continuity with other apps, shell history, etc.

General question to the community, what's the state of window manager snapshotting these days? I've been able to snapshot/restore non-GUI process trees with CRIU, but I haven't been able to make it work with an X11|Wayland server. I don't think it snapshots GPU state.

Maybe it'd be a better idea to do everything in VMs, and save/load them across reboots?

Why not try this with your own art and see?
It doesn't remove it completely: if you have strong type safety on your dynamic dispatch and function pointers, you can use that to restrict the possible control flow. You can also constrain things further if you can relate objects or function pointers passed into a particular function to a callsite. But it does rely on whole-program analysis and while you can make an analysis that will either find the full callgraph or report an error you can't make it accept all valid inputs and reject all invalid ones (because this would still basically reduce to the halting problem).

In practice it's often close enough: I have a hacked-together static stack analysis tool I use for an embedded system and it can deal with function pointers used for callbacks with basically one additional annotation (basically saying "any function passed in as a pointer to this function can be called from this other function"), and it works despite not actually having all the information the compiler would have. I would not however expect it to work on an arbitrary application, especially one which pulls in many libraries, which was not designed with at least some attention to allowing this kind of analysis in mind.
hah, you've got a point there! It's important to remember that even influential figures in tech aren't infallible, and they too can have a few, let's say, less-than-stellar moments. While Sam's journey with Loopt might not have been a "revolutionary unicorn," his contributions to the industry shouldn't be completely dismissed.

That being said, it's always healthy to question and scrutinize the opinions of tech leaders, as their perspectives can sometimes be out-of-touch with the reality experienced by the average worker. So, let's just say Sam's take on remote work might be one of those moments where we take it with a grain of salt and a hint of humor.

This is actually amazing! I did the opening lines of Cat in the Hat:

ORIGINAL:

the sun did not shine.
it was too wet to play.
so we sat in the house
all that cold, cold, wet day.

i sat there with sally.
we sat there, we two.
and i said, 'how i wish
we had something to do!'

too wet to go out
and too cold to play ball.
so we sat in the house.
we did nothing at all.

so all we could do was to
sit!
sit!
sit!
sit!
and we did not like it.
not one little bit.

and then something went BUMP!
how that bump made us jump!
we looked!
then we saw him step in on the mat!
we looked!
and we saw him!
the cat in the hat!
and he said to us,
'why do you sit there like that?'
'i know it is wet
and the sun is not sunny.
but we can have
lots of good fun that is funny!'

JUSTE-IFIED:

The sun remained hidden,
too damp for our play,
in the house we resided,
that bleak, sodden day.

With Sally, I sat,
our patience worn thin,
I lamented our plight,
craving something to begin.

Outdoors was too wet,
and ball games too cold,
in the house we remained,
our spirits on hold.

So all we could do was
sit, sit, sit, sit!
Our displeasure seething,
not enjoying it one bit.

Then suddenly, a BUMP!
A startling, heart-skipping thump!
We gazed at the door,
and on the mat he appeared,
the Cat in the Hat,
our interest he commandeered.

"Why do you sit there so idly?" he queried,
"I know it is damp, and the sun remains dreary,
but we can indulge in delightful fun,
to keep our spirits merry!"
A 20TB NAS HDD is $350, new. A 5-6 bay new enclosure is $100. $2400 for brand new storage + a little Raspberry Pi to serve it (another $100) is less than the price of a single new MacBook Pro.

> forcefully shoving recommended content from unknown people down their throats...

Unpopular opinion for HN: I like recommend content. Especially with TikTok where the vast majority of content I consume (and I think most others) is generated by non-friends. Crafting the perfect list of who to follow is tough work so when the algorithms can do it I'm happy. Of course, the recommend content needs to be good and interesting to me. I suspect most people's frustration with it is the result of getting bad recommend content. Though for some people recommend content might be particular bad for you if your interests are more niche.

But I also agree that I wish you could turn recommend content off. If it's recommendations are bad, I agree it shouldn't be shoved down your throat, but also please don't force a recommend content free world on the rest of us.

> Managers – what do they do all day exactly?

In companies I'm familiar with projects are run by technical leads and product leads.

Managers don't interact with anyone doing actual work, which is probably for the best.
And making a website that doesn’t suck shouldn’t be hard either… the eBay corporate culture is really bad, most blame the Meg Whitman era for that. Sometimes companies get so bad that even very simple things become insurmountable. Auction items have a few extra dimensions of complexity over normal search as the value changes quite dramatically over time and mostly at the last minute so it’s quite time sensitive. I know people who work there, they’ve checked out and are just collecting a paycheck and I don’t blame them.
I'm sure writers are reviewed on how many eyeballs their articles bring in. It probably has more to do with how easy it is to bring in traffic when you write a controversial article about anything related to Elon than anything else. Every news org is doing it.
> We have to find ways to sequester. And we have to find ways to live in a warmer climate. It's the most probable outcome.

This is not the only conclusion from your excellent observation. Another conclusion could be that rich nations fund green infrastructure projects in poorer countries without asking anything in return. I believe this is what the climate relief fund is about—as approved (albeit in a much too small scale) in last COP.

So far however rich nations are not only reluctant to fund infrastructure projects in other countries without anything in return—let alone green infrastructure projects—they are also reluctant to fund green infrastructure projects domestically (see e.g. Green New Deal in the US). The technology for mass carbon sequestration does not exist yet, and if it existed I bet it would follow the same prospects as current prospects of tackling the climate crisis. In short, they will not be built at the scale needed for any meaningful results.

This is often the case when you offer a technical solution to a societal or a political problem.
Ok but BTC + ETH make up ~68% of the total crypto market cap, not these penny stocks. And yes, I realize that market cap means less and less as you go down the list of coins but that's kind of my point. It is a choice to go for the smaller ones (high risk, higher potential reward).

In the last year or so of his life, Stephen Hawking's long-EOL'ed speech synthesizer was showing signs of failing, and the replacement was an emulator based in part on low-level DSP emulation code from bsnes/Higan, as the "Nintendo DSP-1" used as a math coprocessor on some SNES games was coincidentally the same processor family [1] [2]. Games using this processor had been supported by other emulators for a long time, but they did so with a high-level implementation of the Nintendo firmware calls.

I work at a company that makes a very clear distinction between API and View layer. Our API spans 200+ endpoints. We have 6 backend and 6 frontend developers.

As far as iterations go it’s very rapid. Our work teams are split into 1 backend and 1 frontend developer. They agree on an API spec for the project. This the contract between them and the frontend starts working immediately against a mock or very minimal version of the API. Iterate from there.

If you disagree, you can reply as to why you disagree, or you can silently disagree and move on. You've added no reasoning beyond the disagreement that slavboj brought up, only that you think it's not just wrong but... misleading? Of what? Why is it motte-and-bailey? Why would it be doublethink? What are you adding to the disagreement? rt4mn clearly states what they disagree about, namely their belief that a non-votable institution with democratic oversight is a democratic institution. All you're doing is sneering, you're not actually offering a reason for disagreement.

Sneering without reason brings the quality of discussion down on this site. Either substantively disagree or move on.
