Bluesky was started within Twitter as a federated social protocol in 2019. Spun out in 2021 as a standalone company and it was also being used in the Crypto group at Twitter until Elon came in.

I'm sure just because of its age and principals involved it's been heavily influenced by the crypto crowd.

But suddenly, without anything else really stepping in to fill the void, it's the Twitter alternative of the day. Anyway not surprised to find some gotcha's like this all things considered.
This isn't to refute your overarching point, but even the oldest of stories, the 'Epic of Gilgamesh', begins with the titular character accused of not "leaving maidens to their warriors", leading the gods (and people) of Ur to try to end his reign. I think the story makes it clear - this behavior was totally unacceptable for a king, even in what the Sumerians considered "those ancient days, when bread had been tasted for the first time".
with each day that goes by we see more news of impropriety among most, if not all, of the currently sitting justices & past ones as well. when is something going to be done about it?
I'm sure when the warranty is up they offer it to everyone for free right?

I did not say that. Read again what I wrote.
Compilers used to be my favorite subject in CS (circa 1975) and back then I never saw a single case where lexing was handled in the parser. A few factors back then may have been responsible for this.

First memory was very limited by todays standards, say 30 to 60kb. By making lexing a separate pass, the source could be discarded before the parser started and the tokenized intermediate file written by the lexer could be read during the parsing pass. Typically, the compiler might keep the name table of all identifiers in memory between these passes.

Around the mid 70s, languages that could be compiled in a single pass were investigated. Pascal was one of these. Pascal didn’t support separate compilation either so the linking step was eliminated. Nevertheless, the early Pascal compilers still did lexing separate from parsing; I learned Pascal by studying the source for Wirth’s compiler (it had crazy inconsistent indenting).

The second reason lexing was done separately was performance. Touching every character of the input source file was a major bottleneck for compilers back then, so optimizing the lexer was perceived to be very important. By doing the lexing in a tight loop rather than being called once for ever token lots of overhead associated with these calls was eliminated.

Also, there was a questionable attraction to bottom up parsing. Knuth had shown how LR (left to right) shift-reduce parsers could parse a very large family of grammars efficiently around 1965. Everyone was enamored with them. I even wrote a set of FORTRAN programs that would construct the SLR tables suitable for a subset of LR parsable grammars. When lex and yacc applications came along, everyone thought that every compiler should be built this way (to be fair, Wirth and Per Brinch Hansen were both designing languages that could easily be parsed by recursive descent because their grammars were LL(1) a smaller family of grammars than LR(n)). I’ve never seen anyone try to use only a LR parser at the lexical level combined with the normal grammar parsing.

I went back to University for another graduate degree in 1984, and I was surprised to hear the professor that taught the compiler class say that everyone should be using lex and yacc for any compiler development. By then, in the real world, people had discovered that much more meaningful error messages were possible with LL or recursive descent (i.e. top down) parsing.

Now, performance and memory considerations are different. It’s practical for compilers to read an entire source file in a single read (or memory map the entire source file), saving all the round trips to the OS for reading input. Top down parsing provides better error messages and it fits well with parsing all the way down to the lexiems.

Yes in that context "whole damn point" means the key, salient aspect of the discussion being only allowing use of the thing once. In English it's normal to not speak 100% literally. I'm guessing you're not a native English speaker - surely it is the same in other languages?
It comes down to why you are writing the code in the first place:

- If the goal is to write code to produce a dataset, the output is what matters. Sometimes you just need to get stuff done and the code is secondary. It's OK to write crap code.

- If the goal is to write code that will be used to repeat the process, possibly in a different context, the code itself is what matters. The abstractions presented by the code are primary and you need to consider all the ways in which it will be used/misused. Crap code is unacceptable.

Shopify was never paying top of market in the first place. They might be able to get better talent for the same price, but "a fraction of the price" to me has a connotation of "1 over (an integer bigger than 1)", meaning 1/2 or less what they were paying previously... and this is certainly not the case for them.

If you're going to suggest 9/10 is also a fraction or something I'll counter that 4/3 is also a fraction, and no one uses "a fraction of the price" to refer to an increase in price
Who said anything about gutting the performance? This is about adding a performance package that is software based. In the, albeit poor, iPhone analogy the performance camera package happens to come from a different company.
I believe the violations would be the larger concern by the landlords. A rent controlled property that is transferred represents a known loss that can be mitigated (and it's not worse than it is today - rent controlled).

Violations represent an unknown amount and are unbounded, cannot be controlled for and cannot be mitigated easily or inexpensively... though that's part of the article (if you could do face recognition as a landlord you'd be able to alert someone about suspicious activity at apartment XYZ) that would otherwise represent some significant expenses (that would be even harder to do with rent control).
I see, so you're saying you have no evidence? It's cute to have a theory in your mind, an abstraction, but you have to verify it regardless of how convincing it sounds to you. For example, my "logic" says that you're wrong. I observe what CEOs do, I observe what other managers do, and it seems to me like most good managers I'm familiar with would be good CEOs as well because I see no complex, spectacular decision that CEOs tend to make that other managers don't. The bias you put into your reasoning is that good CEOs are somehow special, talented people and therefore in order for CEOs to be successful in their job, they need to be special and talented. But I have no observation that matches with that. CEOs I'm familiar with tend to be average people who were born rich, or got lucky and ended up being privileged. So who is correct? There is no way to know without getting data and verifying it.

Word to PDF List of Files Converter
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to convert multiple Word files to PDF format, but didn't want to pay for a premium software or spend hours manually converting each file one-by-one? Well, I have great news for you - I've stumbled upon a fantastic web application that solves this problem!

This web application allows you to upload multiple Word files at once and convert them all to PDF format quickly and easily. And the best part? It's completely free to use! This is an excellent solution for anyone who needs to convert large batches of documents without breaking the bank or wasting time on tedious manual conversion.

The web application is built using a combination of Javascript, NodeJs, Bootstrap, and ExpressJS. It also integrates with the Cloud Massive API, which provides the functionality to convert the Word files to PDFs. The use of FilePond, a JavaScript file upload library, makes the process of uploading multiple files a breeze.

It's important to note that you will need an API key from the CloudMassive website to use this application. However, obtaining the API key is a simple process that can be completed in just a few minutes.

Overall, I believe that this web application is a fantastic idea that provides a much-needed solution for anyone who needs to convert multiple Word files to PDF format quickly and easily. I highly recommend giving it a try and seeing how it can simplify your document conversion needs!

Talking about a flaky twitter clone in another flaky twitter clone. It’s inception!
Passkeys are already device-bound; there would be no point in cross-ecosystem sync. They're maybe backed up to a provider's cloud, but that's in case you reformat your computer and want to restore it from backup; not for moving the passkey around.

Think of a passkey as a device identity credential. It gives credential X that you can register on your backend as belonging to device Y; not to user Y. You need to additionally keep in your backend a mapping from devices to users — where almost certainly, a user HAS MANY devices.

You know how, in well-thought-out auth systems, you can "sign in with a password" and "sign in with [SSO provider]", and those will result in signing into the same account, where both the password credential and the IdP subject-claim are separate "credentials" bound to that account?

Each passkey is a "credential bound to the account" in that sense. You create one for each device, and they all log you into the same account.

In short, they're a "third-party-ization" of the thing that Apple, Google, etc already do with their "you're trying to sign into your Apple/Google/etc account from a new device. Confirm this on an existing device" workflows — where each device creates its own separate credential, that is enrolled to your cloud account. This is that, but for any third party website, rather than just the cloud service itself.

Ah thanks, I see that now under the State -> Overview docs page:

All user state is stored on the server.
Behind the scenes, events are sent as API calls to update the state on the server. The state delta is then sent to the frontend, which updates the UI to reflect the new state.

> Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard has spotted something “very unusual” in the labor market. The number of job openings remains high. But not enough people want to take these jobs, and the share of America’s population that either has a job or wants one, its rate of labor force participation, isn’t rising.

The core premise of this article is flawed. There AREN'T more open positions than people looking for jobs, and of course there AREN'T people sitting at home totally content being jobless because they don't think jobs available aren't good enough. That doesn't pass common sense test. The way "open positions" are counted in IT is total BS and I don't see a reason why that should not be the case in any other industry.

If you go through open positions on many job search engines (Indeed/LinkedIn/whatever) they are full of "dormant" positions that have been open for years and employers don't care to close, or job search engine wants to keep open and regularly update (to inflate list of open positions), or something employers opened "just in case", looking for a unicorn with 20 years of experience and ready to work for peanuts, or multiple positions opened by staffing companies chasing the same position opened by their customers, or any of other countless cases. If you count all these then sure, there are quite a few more than people looking for jobs, but if you ignore any BS positions that's completely different picture.

Dept of Labor numbers are produced with JOLTS which is a phone survey of businesses but they likely suffer from similar issues.

Now add thousands and thousands of older workers who normally would continue working at the same company until they retire but who were let go during the COVID (or recent layoffs) and now can't get hired since changing companies is more difficult as you get older (so NO, 40+ and 50+ olds did NOT "retire early", they just can't find jobs and don't even get counted as actively looking) and you'll get the job market which is very different with the picture painted by the official numbers. Again, this is IT-specific but I don't see it is any more different for any other industry (probably excluding hourly jobs in hospitality etc).

Yeah, a bucket name isn't the face of your company.

I wonder if Amazon actually has any policies to prevent squatting.
iCloud syncing already has this problem though. If I lose an iPhone and I buy a new iPhone and sign into an iCloud account, my passkeys will get synced.

So I'm not sure I believe that really strong stances on potential phishing attacks are the real reason here. Passkeys with cloud sync are phishable.

> why bother

A single master password would still be a massive increase in security and would still eliminate a ton of phishing attacks. The cool parts of passkey aren't really the biometrics, the cool parts are how they get shared with websites. That's where the real phishing protection comes from.

I also felt this way initially, like "that's it?". But overall the massive reduction in hallucinations and increase in general accuracy makes it almost reliable. Math is correct, it follows all commands far more closely, can continue when it's cut off by the reply limit, etc.

Then I tried it for writing code. Let's just say I no longer write code, I just fine tune what it writes for me.

It builds off of several specifications that came from the crypto crowd. It does not use a proof of stake or proof of work blockchain, though, so depending on how you use the words "crypto" and "blockchain," it either is or is not those things.

The CEOs / Executives are literally appointed by the board who in turn are voted in by shareholders. It is their job to increase the share price.

The world is better of with efficient capital deployment.

So, I don't understand how the smartest people in this world don't understand the fundamental working of capital markets.

Note: it's the same shareholders that have allowed to get $200-$300k TCs when smart people around the world toil the same as you for $60k. So, you can't have it both ways
If you would give a talk about this, I would watch it - despite being out of the graphics for almost 10 years now. Really want to hear from the trenches about the workflows, benefits and challenges you have.
Sure they had a choice. They had a choice whether to aim at the sky, the ground, or the protestors. And they had the same choice the protestors were exercising: whether or not to obey the authority ordering them to do stuff. But they weren't ordered to fire on the protestors. The guardsmen who did shoot at the sky or the ground, which was most of them, weren't prosecuted for disobeying orders. The more important choice was the first. That's the one for which they should have been charged with murder.

P.S. How rich and privileged are kids who go to Kent State in Ohio? It's not Yale. In 1970 it was pretty cheap. And regardless, why does this justify the harm they suffered? The guardsmen were right to shoot the college kids because they weren't as rich or privileged? That's a really horrifying take on the event.

That's another long tradition: portraying the victims of lethal violence as unsympathetic in some way as though this mitigates the harm they suffered.

I assume most people reading Hacker News aren't at the bottom of the economic ladder. Does this make them fair game?
> I can't think of a way to define "social media" that wouldn't include forums, mailing lists, Stack Overflow etc.

Yes. Even Wikipedia has a comments section and profile pages.

I'm also deeply grateful for all the things I learned from interacting with other people on the internet. In fact, most interactions I've had were without any party knowing much about who the other person was. We didn't care about age, gender, race or any of the other real-life traits. We only cared about a shared curiosity. Forcing real identities and age verification onto the internet will destroy safe spaces for human interactions.
Software as a service is a continuous operation. Cars aren't. Not hypocritical at all. No one cares that they want to be as profitable as big techs. We want to own our damn cars. We want to accelerate as much as we want. It's that simple and requires no further justification.

We take issue with big techs locking down computers too. No problem with them running whatever they want on their servers but we want to run whatever we want on our computers too without their interference.
> But I don't want to live in the US. I want to live here. And if you follow indices that measure quality of life, security, democracy, freedom etc. it is easy to see why

If you go by the internet metrics that are vastly skewed to be anti capitalist, then sure.

In reality, US is very much "make your own life". We have conservative areas, liberal areas, and everything in between. You can live in a busy city, or you can live very remotely.

Objectively speaking, if you take your salary+benefits-taxes in US versus salary+benefits-taxes in EU, the only way EU wins is if you are still in early stages of career and start having kids.
You are right on "unbelievably". In my experience, bank service in France is fine.
It's as american as apple pie to use state violence on innocent and largely peaceful protestors and then just pretend it's no big deal

Google search seems to optimize for "What?" (... is the best phone) and the list of results allows some variation, while GPT chats seem to answer "How?" , and tend to give the same average, stereotypical answer every time you ask.

Hmm, `man 7 environ` on Linux says “The user's preferred utility to edit text files”, which matches my long-term understanding. The original distinction between `EDITOR` and `VISUAL` was that the latter need not work on a printing terminal. The name `VISUAL` comes from the `ex` command `:visual` — i.e, vi.
>are they bad people because they can't find a relationship?

They are bad people because incel forums are normally filled with crab-bucket mentality users who regurgitate highly misogynistic tropes up until the edge of being openly violent to women.

If you are unable to see the misogyny towards woman in many incel communities for whatever reason, at the very least I would say that they are bad for men because they tend to grow by reinforcing the idea that their community will never be good enough, that there is nothing that they can do, and it is the fault of society for all their problems.

There are alternatives to gas, which are starting to get deployed:

Demand control: There are already some electricity tariffs offering prices based on hourly market rates. There are plans to make them more accessible for customers by rolling out intelligent meters faster. Heating and Car charging are massive users for electricity that can be moved off to better hours.

Batteries: already financially attractive today, even though there are senseless taxes and duties on it.

Biomass like biogas: currently this is driven mostly as base load because of incentives, but it could play a bigger role as a dispatchable electricity source.

Green hydrogen: Can be used for longer-term storage. Production can be turned off in low electricity supply times. This one is the one most far out.
