The further I get into my career the less "stuff" I want to throw at solving problems. This is the antithesis of that attitude. It would take ages to learns the ins and outs of these dependencies, and some of them come with immense sets of complex dependencies.

I'm all for pragmatism and not reinventing wheels, but this stack looks like a juggernaut of eventual misery.
Oh, I don't necessarily disagree -- it was just surprising to think that I was Googling a Python API (for the 500th time!) and all of a sudden get a DNS lookup failure instead.

(It's not Google's or IANA's or whoever's responsibility to fix a namespacing problem here, but it's also maybe not ideal that less-technical users are funneled into a single "omnibar" interface for both searching and domain resolution.)
It's both. You try to prevent the disease, but for those who get infected anyways, you try to improve their tolerance. In fact this research could potentially benefit the immunocompromised the most, in that they can't rely on their immune system to prevent buildup of pathogens so when they get sick they will likely end up with a larger number of pathogens compared to an individual with a healthy immune system. If research can find ways of stopping that larger buildup from damaging the body, then being immunocompromised is no longer as dangerous for the individual.

However, for those that have a weak immune response and also don't or can't get this new tolerance treatment, it would be a net negative, on that I can agree.
Samba was named the same way:

>The name "Samba" was derived by running the Unix command grep through the system dictionary looking for words that contained the letters S, M, and B, in that order (i.e. grep -i '^s.*m.*b' /usr/share/dict/words).
So this is bad because .zip sounds vaguely like something related to attachments?

I dunno that doesn't sound much worse than wellsfargo.info to me.
Now you can have an unelected technocrat somewhere in the UK write the standards for your new toaster. Or more likely it'll just be forgotten in the bonfire of regulations and you'll end up dead on your kitchen floor in a warm pool of butter.

I’m not so sure …

If you expect a host name and you end up clicking a file instead, that seems dangerous.

But in this case, you expect to open a file and you visit a website instead? That sounds simply annoying…

Maybe this is for browsers to deal with - if there is a collision between TLD and (file extension on this system) throw up a warning?
Wait, isn't that the point of the ad-supported internet?
Isn't that true of every generic-looking TLD?

The worst would be a .js TLD; everyone looking for web frameworks like `angular.js` would end up on a website (that probably is not affiliated with that tool) instead of a search result page. Would make it incredibly easy to trick people into installing malicious dependencies.

> in his mind the plane was due for scrapping, and his plan was to fly it until failure and then jump out

That is plausible, but also illegal. It would be a violation of multiple FARs to fly a plane that you knew to be non-airworthy with the intent of having it fail.
Neither are bicycles and electric skateboards, but needs must. With cars costing tens of thousands, not to mention parking issues, I see a great many young people turning to two-wheeled vehicles in years to come. A small motorcycle, be it IC or electric, will always be the cheaper option.

We already have the .sh TLD [1]. So I don't see an .exe as a stretch

I was disappointed to find exe.zip was already registered.
I've experienced the opposite, where I played OoT as an adult but thought it was only okay but got completely absorbed into BotW. OoT is too railroaded for my taste, especially the dungeons that often have one linear path. Towards the end of the game when you have to do several temples I thought of quitting. BotW on the other hand gives you plenty to do all at once and doesn't care how you do it. I enjoy devising my own approaches to things rather than finding the singular linear solutions to OoT's dungeons.
OpenAI does plagiarize stuff wholesale though. I was looking up a fairly niche Python library about a month ago using ChatGPT and the code example it provided was too specific to be useful for what I was doing. So, I did a little googling and came across the blogpost it had sourced it from. It had the exact same code.
I _hate_ this trend of moving everything into software. Touchscreens in cars are awful. And now cameras instead of mirrors? No thanks.
Yes, because famously his competitors have caught up in rockets and electric cars.
Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not :)

On one hand, like all Java code, this is really really verbose. But on the other, it's not that complicated—every line seems like it corresponds to some part of the DNS spec.
I'd say yes - Twitter is in it's most troubled times (I'd guess I'm no expert), and it's the first chairperson/CEO to be a women - she is absolutely given a much worse company than anyone before her!
Classic cut-the-fat corporate raids don't start out with decimating your revenue stream and wrecking your brand.
By this (ridiculous) standard, DOS com executables make ".com" the worst offender. Or how about shell scripts and ".sh"?
How is this different from any other TLD?
Like others said, in that case the customer who bought the product has standing to sue, not the city of Baltimore.
This isn't as simple as "no immobilizer". My 2004 Ford F250 doesn't have one either.

Thieves got into it and tried extremely hard to force the ignition and steal it. They tried hammering a flat head into it and rotating. Didn't work. They tried grabbing the outside of the mechanism with some kind of pliers and rotate, and that didn't work. I can see they easily spent several minutes on the whole ordeal, and didn't get anywhere. The entire lock mechanism was destroyed, almost shaved smaller from how many times they tried and their pliers slipped.

When I got to it a few days later, I had to get home using that truck. I put the key in the ignition and turned it, and drove off.
Is that substantially different from simply messaging someone and saying "download this file:" and linking to a malicious site with a .net TLD? Is the thought that the .zip tld conveys some kind of trustworthiness that a different TLD would not?

Really trying to understand this, I hope I don't come across as snarky or naïve.
Fixing up mediocre-to-bad content with factual errors results in mediocre-to-bad content without factual errors. With a lot more effort you can probably shape it up to mediocre content without factual errors.

Better to have the fixer-upper work on something else, if you ask me.
Maybe someone more knowledgable with music theory can chime in, but the generated tunes sounds off to me. Bit like a render in the uncanny valley. Something is wrong but I can't put my finger on it.
Yep yep yep, Long Fat Pipe problems, right.

Your beliefs are probably equally resting on thin air, they are just shared by everyone around you so this doesn’t occur to you.
But the city is expending resources (police, mostly) so there is damage.
That's even worse. In that version, the crash is still planned but the conditions are not. If so, he's lucky he didn't kill anyone.

It's very evident that he thought what he was doing (including covering up his offense) was no big deal. This is exactly why he deserves to have the book thrown at him.
Thank you for this: https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill#cli

My first questions with any new tool of this kind is immediately:

- Can I run/validate branch versions of the scripts non-destructively, for example as part of pre-merge checks in an IaC CD workflow?

- Can I run my scripts locally without a lot of drama, while developing?

If the answer to either of these questions is no, then the tool is the moral equivalent of directly editing PHP files on the prod machine, unless you're committed to deploying an entire second instance of the tool for staging/dev purposes.

ok, giving you props on coming up with a valid scenario here but in what world is someone trying to search for product.zip? Maybe my tech-illiterate boomer mom who would ask google to find a file on her desktop called product.zip but is that a case we want to optimize our TLDs for?
Eh, not really. It's all a mistake how we *interpret* domain names.

From https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1034 3.6.1 , we see

----------------------

For example, we might show the RRs carried in a message as:

ISI.EDU. MX 10 VENERA.ISI.EDU.
MX 10 VAXA.ISI.EDU.
VENERA.ISI.EDU. A 128.9.0.32
A 10.1.0.52
VAXA.ISI.EDU. A 10.2.0.27
A 128.9.0.33

----------------------

Notice it's not ISI.EDU , but it's ISI.EDU. for an absolute fully-qualified domain name.

You can also notice weirdnesses here when you go to https://news.ycombinator.com. (copy and paste with period), like you're not logged in due to cookies not sharing.

But requiring absolute FQDN's would solve this https://financialstatement.zip -> https://financialstatement.zip. and remove the ambiguity.
I don't necessary agree with this argument. Normal people call some files by their extension pretty often -- pdfs, jpegs, gifs, zips, mp3s, etc.

While an OS may hide extensions, not everything does. Notably, gmail shows the file extension for attachments.
Author should port EmuTOS to it. Or at least just EmuCON, the console-only variant (basically GEMDOS)

You mean in the now content mills can't afford not to crank out clickbait with AI? That would reinforce my general belief that we've been in a transition state these past few years with the reinvention of old business models in the near future. We've already reinvented cable TV and newspaper subscriptions.
The auto manufacturers absolutely have liability.
I mean if you're old then there was a time when .com was the most common file extension at all.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll improve the layout. Do you like how it is rendered inside HN when you use the browser extension?

Pleasant memory here of being a naive kid and trying to register a domain by creating a file with extension COM.

how is that a replica? it's just another book with the same title? the chosen title "Automating DevOps with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines" is so dull that I'm not surprised it was generated by the AI as well, probably not even the latest tech for that. I'd expect ChatGPT to come up with a better title
Thank You.

> Crypto payments are more heavily-regulated via KYC than traditional payments.

So this is why Ransomware peddlers and North Korea use bank transfers to move their money around, and why dark market users mail checks to each other? Or do they use crypto coins instead?
A) Prior use - this is why I think zip won't be a big deal, people will adapt.

B) Being a good domain name for development - mysite.localhost turned out to be better.
Yeah, suing clothing manufacturers because people wearing them were raped is not any better. The city has an obligation to prevent crime, car manufacturers do not.
What’s hilarious is that okay, even if his dad made it up…

Elon has -also- said that he and his family would stuff their pockets with money and stones that wouldn’t fit in the safe from overflowing.

What next? “I only said I did it, but I never actually saw myself doing it?”

At some point there is a recognition that (at least) one of two things is accurate: 1) that a mine exists, or 2) that Elon is a serial liar.

Also, “get a million dogecoin”… is that before or after he hires a PI to go into your background for a little light character assassination for making him look foolish?
You'd be throwing a warning on nearly every domain name, including this very site we're on right now. What would be the point? Domain names are different from file system paths, full stop.
The submitter is active in the comments and has a long history of submissions related to similar ideas. That seems to indicate to me that this is a real project and an iteration on a premise they've been thinking about for a long time. I do notice even their comments follow a suspiciously GPT-like template with three bullet points. But even if they're using GPT to generate the comments and blog posts, is that really so wrong? Maybe English is their second language and GPT helps them to more effectively communicate their ideas.

I haven't investigated the blog or pricing, but I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't think this post should be flagged, so I've vouched for it (although I think my vouching powers were nerfed a long time ago, so hopefully someone else will vouch for it too).

EDIT: I actually don't even see the vouch button. Paging @dang
I think the parallel in that sentence doesn't work with binary and C. I would rephrase the sentence to something along the lines of: Today's developers don't use punched cards, why should you learn how to code without the most modern tools?

BTW, in some countries, you learn binary in grade school :)
I get it, but I don't agree that the defense is having a smaller number of tldns. I think the problem is with an omnibar in the first place, because it has to heuristically guess what you want. I preferred having a separate search bar from address bar.

For a technical professional, I fight with the behavior of my web browser's address bar far more often than I really think I should. Maybe the average person would be far better served if the browser only assumed you meant a URL if you explicitly included a scheme, and otherwise just did a search.

What percentage of the population is tech-illiterate?

maybe a single-digit percentage of HN, but the vast majority of the world even today can't find the control panel on Windows. And anecdata from school systems suggests that consumption-focused devices are regressing the next generation of users such that millenials and early gen-z are probably the peak of tech-literacy.
It’s a little early to be drinking isn’t it?

The city is suing to recover the money they spent on all the police efforts expended because Kia cut corners to reduce costs.
So effectively the COO, but with the title of CEO.
I find it interesting . I know a lot of people who have written textbooks, but approximately none of them have made reasonable money at it. So if you could halve the time to produce a good one it would help, even better if you quarter it. But you are still probably losing money on your time relative to other things you could do. So why do it ? Mostly because it (the book) doesn’t exist.

If 3 crap versions exist , I don’t know if you would bother .
Exactly — and I think the danger is in website mimicking a file being opened. Which, browsers have already trained us to expect in many cases. Maybe some browser teams will implement a warning like this, that would make sense to me?
You've already established your brazen disregard for the truth and ideological motivations - you don't need to keep demonstrating them.

That someone might've marked up a couple emeralds Musk may have sold once (I believe the story is disputed) doesn't prove the quality of emeralds at the mine. Your point about Americans holding any stock is equally bizarre. "Directly" does a lot of work there, indirectly, it's closer to two thirds of American adults, so I'm not even sure what point you think you're making. Nobody, including Elon, disputes that his parents were relatively wealthy, so even if the 15% figure you're citing weren't misleading it would be irrelevant.

Your general pattern of argument here is to tell obvious lies and then, when confronted, to spin off on pointless digressions. Musk came from a relatively wealthy family - that was never disputed by anyone, Elon included, and it's obviously not the source of his present-day wealth. What I would like to return to is my original question of why you would do this? I mean, you understand this is totally transparent, right? I get why your politics or ideology might compel you to slander people you dislike, but why wouldn't you try to do a good job of it?
Andrew Tanenbaum is in a no way Dutch. States as much in his Wikipedia article. There are plenty of Dutch scientists, including in CS, so no need to gekoloniseren another one.

Finally getting the hint and canceling Witcher.
In the Isaacson biography, Steve Jobs viewed himself as an "engineer." It comes up in some of the quotes when they were working at Atari and early in Apple's existence. I don't have a copy of the book anymore, but it's hinted at here:

But he had a way with words, seemed to have a passion for technology, and probably lied about having worked at Hewlett-Packard. "I figured, this guy's gotta be cheap, man. He really doesn't have much skills at all," Alcorn remembers. "So I figured I'd hire him." A Diet Of Air And Water Jobs was hired as Atari employee #40, as a technician fixing up and tweaking circuit board designs. One of his first roles was finishing the technical design of Touch Me, a simple arcade memory game similar to Ralph Baer's later Simon toy.

Is there a name of a phenomena when you expect someone to be equal or more knowledgeable as you are when discussing a topic? The Dunning-Kruger effect is when one overestimates their own ability. But is there an effect of overestimating someone else's? I feel as though that explains the reasoning.

Heat is the primary factor, and even with fast charging the inefficiencies of wireless charging will mean the latter will dump more heat into your phone.

The constant current phase of fast charging does not generate much heat in comparison at given wattage as it's able to charge up your phone much more quickly at higher efficiency until it switches to trickle charging at ~80%.
In terms of story, there's a lot of interesting stuff going on in Orarina of Time that's gently implied but left as subtext.

> As an example if you leave gold bars littered on your front yard people will pick them up. No amount of "putting thieves in jail" will save you.

Of course there is an amount of "putting thieves in jail" which will save you; once all the thieves are in jail, the remainder of the populace would mind their own business and walk past the gold bars.

If your thesis is that literally everyone would steal those gold bars, then I have to point out that this is a very pessimistic view, and that there are multiple different places around the world where it wouldn't happen.

If you look further down that thread, people also highlighted they included more countries with “adequacy,” i.e., that the EU considers having a comparable privacy regime.
Do you genuinely find it good enough to fact check?

My experience so far is it will lie horribly, a lot.

I still find it useful enough that I subscribe to the pro version, but I would never rely on it to be able to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
This seems quite complex and confusing. Potentially also a security risk:

1. gojek.jawa exists and is a valid domain; gojek.java doesn't exist.

2. Some people get used to typing gojek.java, and this is fine because it "just works".

3. A malicious actor registers gojek.java

4. Oh noes!

Or am I missing something?
Mark Zuckerberg practicing jiu-jitsu is an example. Gym participation is a luxury display of leisure time. I wonder why he didn't take up golf. There seems to be a trendy desire to leisure train physical fighting ability as opposed to other recreational activities.
It is unclear to me whether Python 3.12 will receive significant improvements. Based on the information from https://github.com/faster-cpython/benchmarking-public, it appears that there may be a 2% performance enhancement. Is this the anticipated result, or are there additional developments awaiting merger?

Initially, the "Shannon Plan" (https://github.com/markshannon/faster-cpython/blob/master/pl...) aimed for a 50% improvement with each release. Has this goal been deemed unattainable, or are there adjustments being made to the plan?

Socialize losses + Medicare, Medicaid, ERC, unemployment, education, subsidize food, housing, solar, recycling etc etc.

System is working out nicely actually.
It is clear that automakers are utterly failing at technology.

In-vehicle control systems are typically garbage.

Several hacks have been shown where vehicle data is exposed over cellular links, in some cases with remote attackers being able to actually control elements of the vehicle (eg: Jeep).

Software updates are rare, with manufacturers often trying to charge exorbitant amounts for basic updates.

Data breaches of various customer data, credentials, PII, etc. are repeated.

IMO we are at the point where in-vehice technology is a thing that is never going away. Auto manufacturers need to become bona-fide software developers and take development, QA, cyber security, etc. far more serious than they have so far.
Most TLDs are not the names of commonly used file transfer protocols, right? I think that's the primary difference that is concerning to the author of the post we are commenting on, and I it find convincing.
Not sure why people gate keep so hard around "he'S NOt An engiNEER". Even if he's not writing the code anymore, having deep technical understanding of important day to day tasks is an important quality in any leader in an engineering organization.
Do they need to be appealing? I think our focus should be on energy generation change (phase out coal, nat gas etc). I don't notice if the electricity running into my home comes from green sources (nuclear, wind, solar) or black (?) sources (coal, nat gas). I guess the 'appealing' part comes from the cost. At this point, it seems like green sources are cheaper, we should be building like crazy (I know that to an extend we are).

"I know more about rockets than anyone at the company by a pretty significant margin."

That sounds way more like an arrogant micro-manager than an engineer to me.

The quotes I read there make it sound to me like he's about as involved as Steve Jobs was. Which is not a compliment, coming from me.
