> Same thing happened with VMs, "the cloud" and containers... Hapless CIOs and senior technical advisors around the world were convinced all their problems would be solved if they'd just sign a contract with <arbitrary vendor>.

Pinning this on the phrase "the cloud" is a mistake, it's part of a much broader trend of using specialist contractors for things instead of doing everything in house. If you could somehow magically go back in time and prevent "the cloud" or any other equivalent phrase from existing, the same trend of companies hiring other companies to do the work they don't care to specialize in would still exist.

From the perspective of... an insurance company.. why shouldn't they contract another company to handle the servers? They already hire another company to hire janitorial work, building construction and maintenance, human resources, running their cafeteria, call centers, etc, etc... The computer stuff seems special to us because we're tech workers and this is a tech forum, but really it isn't special and it happens in virtually all aspects of doing business. The trend doesn't exist because of the buzzword, the buzzword exists because of the trend. If the buzzword didn't exist, a new one would be invented immediately, because language is a tool for conveying ideas and people make new tools on the fly whenever we find ourselves needing one. Ideas don't come from words; words come from ideas.

The only thing MS Teams has going for it is that it is included in Office 365 subscriptions. That's it.

It's a garbage product that's slowing even the fastest computers down to a crawl. And don't get me started on all the bugs. Horrible.
This seems correct. But as the spec says, some services might run HTTP/3 on a different port than 443 - e.g. for load balancing purposes. Those setups would fail if clients just try to connect to 443.
Nice to hear mention of RBK Dewar. He was well known in the programming languages field as a professor at NYU, but also was quite successful as an entrepreneur with his various compilers (I think his company was called "Realia").

I took one of his classes as an undergraduate at NYU, but used SNOBOL, SETL, and some other early languages as part of a young scholars high school program at NYU in the early 80s.
For most applications you'll want to do things like render text nicely, select text, copy and paste text, right-click to inspect, boost font sizes and change colors for accessibility, auto-translate to other languages.

A lot of it is about text, I guess!

Once you've re-implemented all that in a canvas, you've more or less built another web browser, so why not just use HTML?

For those not familiar with workflows as code, a workflow is a method that is executed in a way that can't fail—each step the program takes is persisted, so that if execution is interrupted (the process crashes or machine loses power), execution will be continued on a new machine, from the same step, with all local/instance variables, threads, and the call stack intact. It also transparently retries network requests that fail.

So it's great for any code that you want to ensure reliably runs, but having methods that can't fail also opens up new possibilities, like you can:

- Write a method that implements a subscription, charging a card and sleeping for 30 days in a loop. The `await Workflow.DelayAsync(TimeSpan.FromDays(30))` is transparently translated into a persisted timer that will continue executing the method when it goes off, and in the meantime doesn't consume resources beyond the timer record in the database.

- Store data in variables instead of a database, because you can trust that the variables will be accurate for the duration of the method execution, and execution spans server restarts!

- Write methods that last indefinitely and model an entity, like a customer, that maintains their loyalty program points in an instance variable. (Workflows can receive RPCs called Signals and Queries for sending data to the method ("User just made a purchase for $30, so please add 300 loyalty points") and getting data out from the method ("What's the user's points total?").

- Write a saga that maintains consistency across services / data stores without manually setting up choreography or orchestration, with a simple try/catch statement. (A workflow method is like automatic orchestration.)

I like what you are saying but not the last line. Angels exist - what evidence do we have that they don't?

ChatGPT points to us possibly going in the right direction. It is so good that people need to write long articles about why it is not as good as a human. Contrast to older efforts, which were pretty clearly not so great. I find this pretty compelling, and GOTCHA examples that show that ChatGPT isn't as good as humans in everything miss the point.

Birds fly and drones don't look like birds - but they fly. If the goal is flying, it's okay that we achieve it through something that doesn't exactly mimic what inspired it. Do we need a "full human" for all we do? Our billions of machines, many performing work previously done by humans, show that we don't.

If we can largely replicate intelligence, it's not super important whether "this is how human intelligence works".
Being pessimistic or optimistic doesn't preclude measuring things. Many people are pessimistic about climate change precisely because we're measuring the amount of CO2 being released and because we're measuring changes in temperature, weather, etc. over time.

Same with believing and disbelieving - sure, some people believe in religious-type stuff that has an absence of evidence, but there are lots of other things to believe or disbelieve based on evidence. I believe that Covid vaccines help to prevent serious illness precisely because there is a tremendous amount of evidence to that end.

I hope by specifically mentioning GameDev I have avoided misrepresenting other industries.
I am stressed out by the fact that it seems like my level of effort is not remotely coupled to my level of praise and reward at work. I could do almost nothing for weeks and still be told im doing well and get the same bonus.

I thrive in high pressure, stressful environments and everything at this job is so lackadaisical. At the same time Im realizing I hate being chained to a computer all day.

In top of this ive been experiencing spiritual/existential terror as a result of reading about gnostic doctrines which turned my former religious inclinations on their head. I am terrified that the gnostics may have been correct (if only metaphorically)

Additionally all my time management and prioritization faculties are failing. I am having a hard time remembering to brush my teeth each day, much less keep up with laundry, yardwork, dishes, mopping floors.

Stressed to the point that I am on the verge of puking some days. Having existential crisis on a daily basis. Feel like I have no hope for the future. Im lonely as fuck, bored, and I dont even remotely know how to make things better. I think about my own death frequently and it seems so nice. Id never off myself, before I get links for a suicide hotline, but I di have recurring invasice "I wish I could die" thoughts.

Stress management techniques at this point consist of getting high. And no, its not actually helpful, just escapism.

Id welcome any suggestions. Thanks for reading.

The point of the article is that the per-mile cost of cars is actually much higher than you think if you include the externalities.

Autonomous cars that work as you describe are not anywhere close to being ready. And I don't think the math works if they're a replacement for mass transit.
I've been daily driving a 12th-gen Framework on Fedora 36/37. Sleep itself has worked flawless, although you'll get a graphics driver freeze/crash every odd resume if you don't disable "panel self refresh."[0]

I revert this setting every kernel update to see if it's fixed and have not encountered it on 6.2.12 so YMMV.

I kind of assumed this was a Linux quirk and that Windows would be fine, but I haven't tried it.

Most post-seed rounds happening now are existing investors doubling down on their winners. Losers will get acquired or shut down. Revenue is king, promises and future growth and TAM hand-waving is in the graveyard.

Yes, since like 2012 with the MacBook Pro. That's how retina works. It's 2023 now.
Yeah I fail to see why google would be incentivized to provide this functionality.
Just look at the specs of their laptops, plenty of Intel etc hardware that have management engines and whatnot. Openness is not their (primary) goal, it’s about being able to upgrade and replace components of your laptop just as you are able to do with a desktop.

See if you can get some juniors to take on some of this. Agitate for some hiring, if you need to.

Delegating is how you move up the org chart. Which seems super-weird, like how you can just pay someone some money and then you own what they did—like, what? How does that work? Feels dirty and wrong. But, in fact, it's how everything works above the lower tiers of an organization, and at the top you really are just paying people money and then owning everything they did while you were paying them (then your job is to get someone else to pay you for that stuff—or, uh, to tell some other people to do that part for you, too).

However much it doesn't feel like it, telling others to do work isn't just work (well, "work") it's more prestigious work than actually doing stuff. A career-advancing response to having too much to pay attention to can be, I shit you not, finding other people to do it instead.
It depends where. By 2002 you could get a nice KDE3 distro with KDEvelop and do magic.

If not, you could use PHP, Perl, Apache. LAMP stacks were everywhere. Debian was the right choice, even from a GNU/FSF way.

The end of the 90's with Mozilla being open changed the things a lot.

Also, even in 2004 you could browse Slashdot with FreeBSD and Lynx under a 486 perfectly fine.
Pretty much only the US explicits this right. I know France tacks on more charges to protesters who refuse to unlock their phones when arrested.
This is awesome. And it has an RSS feed!

Would be cool to publish multiple feeds corresponding to each integer significance threshold. Like 6+, 7+ etc

Update: turns out the RSS feed doesn’t work like I expected. I wanted it to publish each news item to the feed, but it’s actually just a feed of the newsletter.
It's common to say that constructive mathematics is continuous, as it cannot prove the existence of a discontinuous function. One can certainly reason constructively about the various things traditionally considered continuous mathematics. I find your opposite perspective on it a bit odd.
I do not believe that the rust solution can be exactly encoded in C++ as the C++ type system itself can't statically guarantee linear typing. You have to use move semantics with a runtime guard...

... except that it might be possible to also "shift left" in C++, by running the pin-using code a compile-time (possibly instantiating it on mock objects) and validate the "runtime guard". This is a rough example https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/f5P3oaPME .

Of course any kind of if consteval check can bypass the check, and things become very hairy if the pin is set to output mode conditionally.

I would like to see how the borrow checker would fare under runtime-conditional borrowing and what kind of syntatic limitations it uses to still guarantee its constraint statically.
Dune: Part Two – Trailer
Talking about Apple here because it's what I'm more familiar with, and their security whitepapers are more widely available.

The PIN and key derivation wraps the actual encryption key that's stored locally in the device or secure enclave, not the actual secrets that are stored in the provider's cloud. The actual wrapping keys are random 256 bit AES-GCM keys. This approach works because the secure enclave provides measures against bruteforcing and tampering.

There is some controversy that I can't find an explanation for in any whitepaper, specifically here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 where it reads "(...) this data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud. If you lose access to your account, only you can recover this data, using your device passcode or password, recovery contact, or recovery key." because that implies off-device use of the PIN, so those measures are lost. There's no further explanation that I could find about that. Some previous discussion about that particular point here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33897793&p=2#33900540

Huh? Contracted by who? DARPA originally invented the internet and DNS in the first place (it was originally an American project) and gave over control over .com to Network Solutions which was eventually bought by Verisign. What do you mean "contracted to run"?

.com registrations are ultimately under US jurisdiction. It's what happens when you have a name system that was originally intended for one country's project (The Internet) and said project ended up becoming internationally used. The original TLD's are grandfathered in even after we got country-specific ones.

Nobody complains that .mil is US-centric either. .mil isn't a ccTLD but of course it means US military.

.com is a very popular TLD used all over the world. It doesn't make it non-American. Just as .tv is also very popular outside of Tuvalu, it doesn't make it non-Tuvaluan.
AFAIK QR code export is not a thing, just speculation for how passkey exports could work (which I doubt since QR codes get hard to scan the more data you pack into them; maybe you could ask the user to hold the camera to the screen for a minute while the target machine cycles through each passkey, or cycles through qr code data itself to facilitate error correction and 100% data transfers)
I guess I was show my point of view which is different from it's doing most of my job(or taking it) or the other extreme of it's a worthless piece of shit and can't do anything right. I was hyped about it, it helps me about 5-10% but that's about it after all is said and done.
So let users reject a ride that arrives with excessive mess. That car goes to a cleaning facility and you wait for another one.

If the car was in fact messy, the previous user takes a reputation hit and may eventually get charged more, if it happens enough to have high confidence they're really at fault. This gives an extra incentive for users to go ahead and report, if there's a problem.

On the other hand if the car was fine, then a separate reputation score starts to lower the weight on the rejecting user, eventually just keeping their rejects in service instead of sending them for cleaning.

It's up to the ridesharing service to decide what they consider "fine," probably something along the lines of "X% of users wouldn't report this."
I'm not sure if anyone else saw this, but just wanted you to know I saw your reply and I appreciated the extensive information within
Nobody drives in NYC, there's too much traffic

But realistically, plenty of folks have cars in NYC. With a metro area of over 20M people, enough people commute into the city, or aren't close enough to LIRR/MNR/NJT, or prefer driving to visit, or just are needed for commercial/industrial/institutional uses to clog the city's roads.

Double parking is infamous in NYC, as are aggressive drivers and terrible roads and parking situations.

> But bat sonar, though clearly a form of perception,is not similar in its operation to any sense that we possess, and there is no reason to suppose that it is subjectively like anything we can experience or imagine.

Philosophy aside, bat sonar is different from the senses we possess in an really interesting way. Our eyes have excellent spatial resolution (up/down, left/right), some rough depth resolution (from stereo), and no innate sense of speed. Our brain processes the signal to fake even better spatial resolution, infer more about depth (small vs far away) and more about speed (angle changes, among other things).

Bat sonar is completely different. Spatial resolution is poor. But they have first-class depth and speed information! They don't necessarily know where something is, but know exactly how far away it is, and how fast that distance is changing. One must suppose that their brains synthesize more spatial information from these senses, but that spatial information is still not going to feel reliable.

I'd love to be able to experience that for an hour. To live in this world where distance and speed are primary senses, and cross-range information is much fuzzier. What an incredibly different way to see the world.

Infrastructure is a subsidy for everyone. With roads you can build a building anywhere and get stuff delivered to it, you can get customers from a wide area to come to your location, you can access a variety of suppliers, you can hire workers from a wide area, you can live anywhere and still get things like emergency services. It's a subsidy for construction, it's a subsidy for retail, its a subsidy for manufacturing, it's a subsidy for agriculture. We were building roads for millenia before the invention of the car, and for good reason. That's the whole point of infrastructure - it helps everyone, often indirectly, and thus it makes sense to share the burden of its construction and maintenance.

for point #6, the fact that getting kids around town using public transportation is slow, expensive, and difficult makes me wonder if the anti-car people even have families in mind when they advocate for their alternative solutions.

The downtown areas that are likely to be workable with no parking in the mid-sized cities I've lived in are already essentially "child-free zones". I think that childless people tend to self-select into the trendy downtown lifestyle, and are more inclined to imagine the world as a playground for young adults.

HN was similarly excited about Vulkan, but this is newer.
The idea seems to be that you will either trust a provider like Apple or Google to keep you private key safe and let them sync it around, or you will create a passkey for each device that you use. If you lose the device, deauthorize the passkey. If you somehow lose the passkey itself, create another one, either by using an older form of authentication, or by creating using a different device to authenticate. There is no need for passkey recovery or backup.
Go talk to this person, and accept the job and help. Ignore the thoughts you can have on refusing this person's help. Do the job without pushing yourself too much.
