Amusingly this seems to have the exact opposite purpose than what most devs would like to use a remote VM for.

Dev thought process: "I can have a working clean remote Linux machine since IT imposes work impeding crapware, barely working net connection, account restrictions and OS on the laptop - it's cheap too"

This: "Dev work happens on a highly monitored and locked down Linux environment rather than a uncontrollable local laptop - we can also charge a lot becuase it's security"

This is a very common attitude in northern Europe, but it’s dangerous. I recently saw a dermatologist, I live at approximately the same latitude as the UK, east of there. He strongly advised sunblock, especially for children. You so very rarely see children wearing it during the summer. You are really playing with your health if you ignore these dangers.

Here are some maps of the effect of sun exposure on skin cancer as you move north through Europe: https://ecis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pdf/factsheets/Melanoma_cancer...
Good post (and hi Doug!). Here's my feedback: it seems like you've taken the phrase "feedback is a gift" to mean "it's always helpful to get feedback", which I agree is problematic for the reasons you've outlined.

However, I understand that phrase somewhat differently. Namely, that it means "others are not obligated to provide feedback, and if someone does provide thoughtful feedback, they have given you the gift of their time and energy irrespective of whether you agree with it or not".
It seems like the PE firms are squaring this circle by offering diminished services, turning away sicker patients, and so on, or that's what the article says.

I am 50 and I have never met anyone who had this actually happen. I have seen messy divorces, but money was never stolen like that and the change was never overnight (everyone of their friends saw it coming, every time, usually since day one, but it’s pointless to warn people in love… and after that usually kids).

Then again, I don’t live in the US; people here (or maybe it’s just my circle) are less pre occupied with money and lawsuits. Even the most messy divorces I know of from my friends didn’t need lawyers.

This is the fifth or sixth time someone has started a thread with this “gotcha,” and the answer is still no: curation is a logistical concern, not a doctrinal one. Banning is a consequence of doctrine; curation is a consequence of books being expensive to categorize and store.

15% more IPC looks very impressive.

*DESKTOP is somewhat in the middle between MS-Windows and Norton Commander...*

Does anyone here recall the intuitive nature of Norton Commander, especially in terms of file operations? This may be reaching back about three decades, so my recollection might be a bit hazy. As I recall, it was a viable alternative to Windows Explorer even during the era of Windows 3.1.

One particular aspect that stands out to me was the dual-pane interface. This allowed for seamless navigation within the directory hierarchy - you could tag files in the pane on one side, then initiate a move or copy operation to the directory in the other pane, and vice versa.

Given the complexity of today's file operations and UIs, Norton Commander's straightforward approach feels refreshingly simple and efficient in hindsight. I'd be interested to hear other users' reminiscences and thoughts.

This is not an American centric view. Dermatologists in many countries throughout Europe, especially northern countries, strongly advise the use of sunblock.
At least in Europe, there are hundreds of shops that have it.

For instance, searching NUC13ANKi3 on amazon.de finds it for EUR 325 + EUR 10 for shipping.

Searching 8 GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM finds them at prices between EUR 19 (no name) and EUR 24 (Kingston or Corsair) + EUR 6 for shipping.

So the total is 325 + 10 + 24 + 24 + 6 = EUR 389 for an Intel NUC Pro with Raptor Lake i3-1315U + 16 GB DRAM, including all taxes and shipping.

A NUC13ANKi7, with Raptor Lake i7-1360P can be found at EUR 600 ... EUR 650. Adding EUR 150 for 64 GB DDR4-3200 makes EUR 750 ... EUR 800.
Care to precise which country in Europe?

Checks to pay for a kid's school trip, or a soccer club membership, etc are very much a thing in many of the EU countries with 50+ million inhabitants.
It’s not just that. There’s a very real outrage machine on the right that works the refs so they get a breaks for what are very obvious TOS violations.
I don't know if it's literally the same people, but it's pretty amusing watching conservatives be hardcore no compromises first amendment absolutists when it comes to speech they agree with, while simultaneously being willing to define it as narrowly as necessary when it comes to silencing speech they don't agree with.
Garry's Mod was my first thought.
Rate limiting is (usually) done on a per-host basis. The only users who would be adversely affected are those who perform hundreds of requests per second from a single system.

Virtually every major website has per-host inbound request limits. This is completely standard practice and Archive.org is the odd one here.

And DDoS isn't the only concern. Legitimate users that run poorly written Python scripts that make insane numbers of requests can hog server resources, and rate limits with appropriate error messages linking to resources documenting efficient access patterns can improve the experience for everyone, and drastically cut costs for the service operators.
I tried to implement PoW in browser for the same concept. I think it's probably at least marginally useful, but practically you're limited by WebCrypto I think, which outperformed anything I could find in pure JS or WASM. The disadvantage of WebCrypto is that there's a limited set of algorithms you can use and also, understandably, calculating hashes is async, so if you want a lot of rounds, you'll spend a lot of time jumping in and out of the event loop. It's still probably a useful speed bump or price increase for expensive operations: what might cost a few seconds on a typical phone or desktop is probably at least enough to act as a speed bump for attackers to perform it quickly (especially combined with other measures like throttling and progressively increasing PoW difficulty for an IP.) Maybe WebGPU could change this, but I'm weary of relying on all users having a fast GPU enabled in their browser just for this use case.

Though thinking about it, I wonder if there is a hybrid: start with a difficulty that's just a few seconds for CPU/WebCrypto and ramp up quickly, but also support WebGPU where possible so that web users on abusive connections may still succeed? I am not sure though, I guess this depends on the feasibility of using WebGPU and etc.

I used to work at a small company where the most expensive licence was $10k. One of our big customers basically asked us to make a more expensive licence so they could give us more money to try and make sure we didn't go away.
All this song data has been standardized and revamped multiple times and these standards have been implemented in mp3 players to decode and display info about that to which you are listening. Waitaminute -- mp3 players can play lots of sounds, including non-song sounds, e.g. speeches, air-checks, phone messages, commentaries, advertisements, radio dramas or comedies, bird-calls of birds, bird-calls of hunters, podcasts, phone-taps, recipes, soundtracks for walking or driving tours, audiobooks of diverse genres, etc, etc, which are quite likely to be acceptably identified and described by various attributes other than those applicable to songs. However, humans find it easier to put square pegs in round holes than to rebilk Romeo in a day.
WASM is WebAssembly. Words have meanings.

If someone wants to try to advertise some weird custom platform that uses WASM as an intermediate bytecode for its packaging format then that's fine, but they'll need to pick a different name.

I had similar issue for one of our clients.
My strategy to not affect legit users was to enable mitigations if global traffic crossed some threshold.

eg. in your case this could mean if traffic is above eg. 75QPS then captcha is enabled, and if it's below that it's disabled.

I don't know what tech stack you are using, but nice trick that i figured out was to abuse rate limiting to detect global traffic (doing if branch with rate limit with const as client id)
What interest would a criminal organization have in a high cash revenue business?

Could it be a way to launder money? Jimmy "No Nose" comes in with $40k cash every weekend and loses it gambling, and "nobody knows" where a guy like Jimmy gets that cash so regularly.
Well, it depends on what you define by passing a pointer. Is the pointer mutable (needs to modify the data it is pointing at?) or immutable? Is it a reference ("guaranteed" pointer?) Or just a plain old pointer? (const T and mut T)? Or do you want a smart pointer, like Box<T> or a unique_ptr-ish thing with a reference counted pointer via Rc<T>?

Want to pass and modify data from and to multiple threads? Yea just drop an Arc<Mutex<T>> and you're good to go.
If you just want to pass some data, even around threads, without modifying it, then a plain old borrow is your best bet. Make sure to get the lifetimes right tho!
I actually heard Eben Upton present an inspiring vision of affordable single board computers for both home and classroom education and experimentation. He seemed sincere, and the evidence seemed to back him up.

That's probably a part of why it felt like a bait-and-switch when they pivoted to business sales.

In retrospect it was probably a mistake for anyone to design a course assuming availability of Raspberry Pi boards without a readily available alternative board.

Perhaps some relevant lessons are:

1) Businesses, however inspiring their pitch, are strongly motivated by money; customer support is proportional to the amount of money they expect to receive from you in the future

2) Always have second sources and backup plans

It’s still not a banning. Banning would be if you’re no longer allowed to bring a copy to school at all. In my high school (and boy am I dating myself here) The Anarchist’s Cookbook was actually banned.

There’s a big difference between saying “we don’t think Tropic of Cancer is appropriate for high school kids so we’re going to remove it” and “Tropic of Cancer is banned in our schools”.

The “book bans” happening are mostly the former and while I do think they’re mostly stupid, they’re nowhere near what you’d think is happening from headlines. Very little actual banning is occurring.

It is transient and fleeting, and it has little to do with melanin. People of Jewish descent, Italians, and even the Irish, used to be considered non-white at various points in the last 100 years in the USA. People whose skin is almost white can still be considered black if, say, one of their grandparents was black. But people whose skin is dark at the end of the summer are nevertheless white as long as it turns pale during winter.
The law was changed and went from $50b to $250b for stress tests. This is on congress.
In my opinion, PoW is the only reliable way, to avoid DDoS attacks. Scraping too much, too quickly is a light form of DDoS, although not intentional. PoW was invented in 2006 exactly for that purpose.

The genius of bitcoin (not BTC) is that it provides an organized and practical way, for PoW to be used by everyone on the planet. Some people find it strange, because there is an imaginary token created out of pure nothing which represents the PoW. It would work fine, without that imaginary token i.e. bitcoin, just by dollars of euros, but it wouldn't be internet native. The point is always to just send a minimal PoW with every http or tcp/ip request.

But you also ‘give’ her money because you make more (or all)? So when you break up, she doesn’t live on the street? Even if she is the one that does the breaking? If it’s not 50/50 as in married/no prenup, you are valuing her to some amount you made up (together?); even if it’s only x% of spending, that’s also a valuation. Is there a yearly inflation correction? Balance of power is firmly in the corner of the largest earner: cannot see how this is healthy.
The central premise is always centered around the teaching to kids. Show me powerful conservatives who want trans/LGBT books banned from Amazon, or pressuring major book publishers, or outright actual bans in which parents aren't allowed to teach their children from these books.

I’ve had few (some, but minimal) problems with the new file tree browser, but the actual individual file view has become a minefield. It hijacks find in page, presumably to enhance it with semantic relations, but it breaks frequently when navigating. Previous searches (cmd-G) will fall back to the browser’s native search. If you’re lucky, you searched the same term in both, and if you’re luckier still the search term is in the top N lines of code (because the code itself is lazy loaded I guess?). Most of the time I’m not lucky and I have to start over each time I view a different file. Even though it feels more like a “single page app” than it previously did, I lose all of that state every time I do anything.

I get what they’re trying to do, and in some ways it’s clearly beta growing pains, but in other ways it’s clear they’re fighting the browser environment in ways that don’t and probably shouldn’t work.
Is "sound mind" a binary thing? Isn't it more the case that we're all somewhere between 0 and 1 ?
I disagree that the fact that it is removed from a shelf for doctrinal reasons is banning. It’s only banning if it’s actually banned, meaning you can’t have it at all, like Mein Kampf in Germany.

There’s surely a more accurate term than banning or curation here.
This is akin to saying, "Putting a limit on a credit card does not prohibit spending"
There are a million banks out there with no fee checking accounts, ATM access, check deposit, and debit cards. This is not a rare offering. I personally have four accounts at different banks and all four offer this. They don't even charge overdraft fees anymore.

I don't see the point in forcing the USPS into the banking market unless your goal is to invent new ways for them to incinerate money.
Yes, banning and teaching are definitely the same thing.
Things don't have to be the same to compare & contrast. There were dozens of articles a month comparing vm's Vs containers back in the day.

I also think your fixed perspective that these are & always will be different levels of the stack is an inadequate fixedness, lacks the mental agility to comprehend many of the things wasm is growing into. For years already, standard libraries like wasi are attempting to become fairly complete platform libraries. Instances of wasm run in effectively process trees of chroots, so the simar parity is apparent.

It's absolutely coom sense to be comparing startup times across the two. There have been endless efforts to try to make cold boot containers or container snapshots as fast as possible. And this again extends backwards in time to comparisons versus vm's as well, with efforts like the Xen Zerg demo trying to make vm's fast enough to boot a vm per request. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5243360

Getting back to a process per request or process per session model is a holy grail, one that every virtualization/containerization technology has explored. It would greatly alter the application development model & potentially greatly enhance security, could help radically reshape resource management. This article is doing a fine job pointing to the future, to what we are unlocking. We absolutely should compare versus what the technology of today (containers) can do. The comparison is spot on.
There’s already a lot of valuable tips below, so I just will add that I have thought of the Co-CTO option as an alternative if that does justice to the situation. I also like the CPO alternative that has been suggested

The Devil's Candy mentioned at the beginning of the interview is an amazing book. The journalist had complete unimpeded access to the entire production from start to finish. Highly recommended.

People overshot a lot with microservices, and Clojure works better for monoliths than many other languages since it's relatively easy to avoid non essential global state. But if you do end up making a microservice, Clojure doesn't have any downsides there either.
Sure can. Here's a recent twitter thread of building a simple web game without any hand coding, using gpt-4.

I’m British though quite an avid follower of US news. I have listened to podcasts discussing book bans (e.g. Jon Ronson) and much of the discussion was around removing books from school libraries.

Additionally, I searched “fox news book bans” and “nbc book bans” and these were the first links that came up.

Swim or cycle on a routine basis. Exercising while you think on the backburner clears the slate in your head. Jogging is bad on the knees.
I don't agree.
I think it should be legal (as long as going business offering gambling games is legal which is another thing to consider) to offer a deal: "Let's play a game where you have 0.98$ ROI for every dollar staked. In exchange we offer high variance and thus a chance you win big".

As long as the casino offers a game true to the promise they should have protection against people looking for loopholes the same way there is protection in contract law.

Gambling games are a form of reverse insurance. With insurance you pay to reduce variance/risk. In gambling games you pay to increase it because apparently a lot of people enjoy it.

As long as the deal is "come play this game, we offer negative ROI in exchange for high variance" and not "come at us, try anything to win at the game we have here" the house deserves protection imo.
> This is splitting hairs: removing books from school libraries is a de facto ban on those books.

No, it isn't. You're trivialising actual book bans by referring to public education literature selection as a "ban".

Lots of books aren't in the school library; doesn't mean that they're banned - you can still buy them and read them to your kids, take them out of public libraries, read them on the internet ... all without any legal or unofficial consequences.
