A proposal to open source will go to an SVP (or compatible) who will cover their ass by sending it to legal. They in turn will cover their asses and demonstrate their perceived worth by enumerating every possible risk however small. The SVP puts it in their "don't touch" pile.

Also, nobody within the corporation really benefits from the open sourcing. "I hopefully won some goodwill from nostalgic players" is not a thing you can put into your employee evaluation packet.

It’s been about a decade now of constant ringing. Cicadas in my ears. For the most part I’m at peace with it. It’s like emotional quicksand, the more you fight it the worse you feel. I just don’t want it to get worse.

I don’t think silence makes it worse, but I’d does isolate the ringing so that it’s all I can hear. For that reason I prefer we’ll sealed iems to ancs.

I’ll look at that ginger cocktail you mentioned, thank you :). Coffee is a bit of a silver bullet for me. A strong coffee usually makes a huge difference. (Which used to make me think it was a caffeine addiction, but quitting caffeine didn’t stop the headaches).

Or you can save yourself the time and say that Kaspersky have proved themselves untrustworthy over an extended period of time and just avoid it and take everything they say as probably either propaganda or marketing or both.

Even if you trust them, their product causes such extreme degredation of usability that one place I worked decided the cure is worse than the disease and removed Kaspersky from all its machines to the general celebration of all users. I was unaffected because I was the sole linux user so had been spared the Kaspersky virus on my machine.

My problem with the Tomb Raider design is that they swapped out Lara Croft for someone else.

Lara used to have the same consistent design till Tomb Raider 6 (The Angel of Darkness). Her iconic face, known from countless magazine covers, posters, ads, and even music videos (in German speaking countries she appeared in a Die Ärzte music video which topped the charts for weeks [1]). Her trade mark braid hair style, too. It was never just the boobs.

Unfortunately Tomb Raider 6 was a medium flop (due to poor gameplay). The next title, Legend, was a reboot, and they decided to change Lara's face. In subsequent titles they changed her more and more. By the time of Tomb Raider (2013) she was replaced with a completely different person. Not even her signature braid was preserved. It was just some generic looking woman of a similar age.

That's like Nintendo deciding, after the 6th Super Mario title, that Mario should now look like a more realistic man and lose his big nose and his outdated hat. Or as if Capcom had decided, for Metal Gear Solid 3, to swap out Solid Snake for some other guy with the same name.

I would have been okay with changing Lara Croft's not-very-realistic body proportions to something which fits the zeitgeist better. If it is so important for those people who love to complain about such stuff. Though I suspect most of the people complaining about her proportions didn't even play the games themselves. But please at least keep her face and don't change her into a completely different person.

(And in my opinion, keep her braid. No other character has it. Without it she is like Mario without hat, or Sonic without his red/white shoes.)

Storj + Fastly is genuinely a pretty good combo. There are certainly some things Fastly does that we don't do (besides being more specifically a CDN, they also have compute@edge, etc). We have a good relationship with Fastly (e.g. https://docs.fastly.com/en/guides/log-streaming-storj-dcs)

But yeah, I don't know how the Nix Foundation is getting their Fastly traffic paid for, maybe that's in/out of scope. Certainly they should keep Fastly if it makes the overall thing cheaper. Having a distributed origin (us) to dedicated edge cache (Fastly) makes for a strong distribution story.

I'm not clear here if "Internet access" means incoming access, outgoing access, or neither.

To be clear, the solution above requires no incoming access. Its 100% client, there's no server access. (Client to the DNS Api, client to ACME.

If the device does not have client access to anything then the certificate can be obtained from another device. You would then need some mechanism to put the certificate on the device.

I agree that IoT devices are problematic, they either need client access to the Internet (which most don't get) or they need to run a "server" of some kind to receive the certificate updates. If you're lucky this could be automated.
These hype stories all seem to make the same error: confusing writing code with developing useful software.

Did spreadsheets on every PC put accountants and CPAs out of business? Did home thermometers and blood pressure monitors put doctors out of business? Of course not. Learning how to use a tool (programming language) represents a necessary but not sufficient part of developing software.

ChatGPT et al can generate some good code, often subtly wrong or failing to meet requirements, but impressive nonetheless. That probably shows that most code we ask it to write already exists many times over — a fact of programming that matches my own experience.

I asked ChatGPT (free version) to write FizzBuzz. It gave a correct solution. Then I asked it to change the code to count only even numbers from 2 to 100. It got that right too. Then I asked it if that version would ever print ”fizz” or “buzz” and it confidently told me no, because no even numbers are evenly divisible by three. This kind of lapse in reasoning ability is going to cause more havoc than errors in spreadsheets already do, when people who can’t read code, or describe a business requirement unambiguously start deploying code from LLMs.

Alcohol and tobacco are empirically worse than cannabis, which is just as rooted in society. The choices of what is legal and what isn't came down to class and politics, not medical evidence.

So yes? Acceptance, regulation and social safety nets are probably the way to go for a lot of drugs. The alternative is to indefinitely fight an unwinnable war, to perpetuate a cycle of death and murder seemingly oblivious that the fight itself and the consequences of a punitive system are the things taking most of those lives, not the drugs.
>... less to those who are genuinely trying to help the disenfranchised, unremembered, diverse and more.

There are many government and philanthropic institution-sponsored programs in the U.S. that repay 100% of medical school, dental school, or medical specialty tuition and expenses, in return for committing to five to 10 years of medical service, on site, to remote or under-served communities.

'Remote' can be rural communities in Appalachia. They can be 'under-served' and very remote, e.g. for American indigenous people who live on their sovereign nation's land.

Under-served communities can also be in economically devastated cities (usually due to offshoring of manufacturing) in the Midwest or East Coast where people of color and white people lack access to medical care that is within walking distance or public transport.

I notice your lowest plan is 2500 daily notifications. So you’re stating you have 25k users that use less than 2500 daily notifications?

I’d suggest your free tier is too generous if you’re struggling to convert free to paid.

I feel like the value of open source saas is that you’re not locked into the vendors roadmap or pricing in the same way as a closed source saas.

If you need feature xx in the future, and they don’t provide it. You add that feature, and move to self hosting (or maybe they’d even accept the PR and it could become part of the hosted service, tho less likely). And if your business / service thrives, and you scale to the highest tiers of the pricing, you have the option to move to a self hosted version. Obviously self hosting has additional dev ops costs, but once you’re at a certain scale, and you have those dev ops resources anyway, it could make sense to take more control over the services you rely on.

Those options give me the confidence to deeply integrate and plan for the long term. But it’s not about free, it’s about that flexibility in the future.

An overly generous free tier seems more in line with a closed source saas lock-in strategy.
> Central planning in presence of hostile adversaries unrestricted by any ethical systems failed.

This is what happens in any system that leans too much on central planning. What we’re witnessing is just entropy ie late stage capitalist society in decline due to too much power being centralized. It’s not exclusive to capitalist economies. Historically, it’s even worse in primarily socialist economies because there are much less divisions of power from the start, where as in capitalist systems this happens over time. For this reason, the same decline happens much faster in primarily socialist systems.

The main flaw in thinking that socialism is better than capitalism, despite the clear results in the 20th century, is missing the fact that corrupt sociopaths don’t just disappear just because you changed the economic and political system; they adapt.
Pretty sure that’s literally how patent trolls work.
The word might be, but "adolescent" is essentially synonymous and equivalent words exist in other languages (in fact it seems we took it directly from French). And of course the English word has been borrowed into a good many of them anyway.
Being a physician is a horrible career move right now. As a former Math/CS major turned eye surgeon, I can't help but think about how much easier my life would be had I stuck with tech. It's hard to understand exactly how hard the job is until you've lived it. I saw 40 patient's in clinic today in 8 hours without lunch or any kind of downtime and then spent 2 hours at the hospital because a patient needed an emergent procedure. They might go blind despite my efforts and I have to live with that. I also may get sued, if they're feeling spicy, despite going to heroic lengths to help this person. My son was asleep before I got home.

There's just no reason to do the job when you can get the same compensation working remotely in tech. Looking through the "Who's Hiring" thread is soul-crushing. Physician salaries are the only ones that do not grow relative to inflation and have decreased year-on-year relative to inflation for decades.

I do believe that the rigorous training model leads to a higher quality of care and much deeper understanding of the disease process. But, why would anyone want to do the job? It's just not worth the liability anymore. That said, is anyone hiring an ophthalmologist with CS and Math degrees?

> that actually happening? Hell no.

I'm kinda tired of blanket dismissal of anything that could be mildly tinfoil hat looking.

Not falling into a panic every thursday about random corporate action is a thing, being ultra confident that no one is ever doing anything harmful on a specific subject is unwarranted.

Eugenism was a thing baked into laws not that long time ago and is still in the books depending on where you live. Patients are still suing govs for reparation because their claims were memoryholed. You can't just throw around "Is that actually happening? Hell no." rhetoric as if you were due a demonstration served on a plate before accepting that the world is 't as skweeky clean as you seem to assume it is.

This seemed interesting, and I had a quick look at a few pages on the Storj website. The website looks like its geared towards the enterprise segment. At the same time, I didn’t see any prominent link to a comparison page. Comparing with Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, etc., would be quite useful.

On integrations, I see there’s a tech preview for Restic. Any plans to support Borg? Is there a platform roadmap available publicly? I’m primarily looking as a single user to store larger backups. The Storj pricing (only for storage, not for egress) seems to be a lot lower than that of rsync.net (even with the special HN Reader’s discount).
> That's nothing, unless you're "saving money by using the cloud".

I've helped a number of clients save money by using the cloud. It's not that hard when you use the tools for the purposes they are suited for. It's not the hammer's fault that it does a poor job of pounding in that screw. At some point the "craftsman" needs to take the time to learn what their tools do and what they are best used for.

I’m surprised you can’t leverage this into a product role or a consulting role for startups in the medical space. You know shit about med systems!!
>Abstraction solves a lot of hard problems, but it is also costly.

This may explain what happened to me. Of the various standardized tests that I have taken in life (SAT in 8th grade, SHSAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, LSAT, GMAT), the LSAT is the only one that I did not score in the 99th percentile on, and its logic games section was my weakest. I have never had any test prep training of any kind other than taking old exams; if I had taken an LSAT class perhaps I might have approached the section differently.

Cloudflare Deprecating Railgun
The curtains are finally drawing on Cloudflare's Railgun. Launched over a decade ago, this product aimed to streamline content delivery with its unique delta compression technique. However, Cloudflare announced that Railgun will meet its sunset on January 31, 2024.

In the face of newer, more efficient products, Cloudflare has decided to help teams transition from Railgun to alternatives better suited to their needs. This move marks a significant shift in Cloudflare's approach, sparking discussions about the future of content delivery and DDoS protection.

For those out of the loop, Railgun was a solution for accelerating dynamically-generated or personalized pages by sending only the changes in content between requests to Cloudflare's network. This approach significantly reduced the amount of data that needed to be transferred, thereby speeding up page loads for end users.

While Railgun's departure might be a bittersweet moment for some, it's important to note that Cloudflare's network and services have evolved substantially since Railgun's last major release in 2015. Newer products, like Cloudflare Workers, are now available that solve the same problems Railgun set out to address, but in more advanced ways.

Cloudflare is committed to helping users transition smoothly from Railgun, and has even provided recommendations for replacements based on different use cases. One such recommendation is Cloudflare Tunnel, which provides a secure, persistent connection to Cloudflare's network without the need for a static publicly available IP address.

This is undoubtedly a significant development in the realm of content delivery and DDoS protection. It will be interesting to see how this transition plays out, and what new advancements Cloudflare brings to the table in the post-Railgun era.

The charitable interpretation is that the irony here was intentional
....with some not-so-standard dependencies like plistlib that you would need to check
....containing magic numbers, their own timestamp conversion for some reason, classic obscure cryptographer variable names (A = R[0] etc), use of pack and unpack, which reads and decrypts various random files, writes tempfiles[1] and does other things that are not completely straightforward for even someone who knows what they're doing to fully assess.

I mean it looks probably fine to me. But saying it's a 300 line python script is kind of begging the question.

[1] using mkstemp but you need to check that stuff to make sure. You also need to check what it does with the things it AES decrypts (they're just pathnames so again, probably fine etc).
Needs and wants aren’t the same things.
Not to disagree with infallible thousands of years old advice, but surely resources are in far shorter supply than potential attacks, so we have to prioritize and filter.
Off the top of my head:

Angular is more like Svelte+SvelteKit. Router and plumbing included. Angular 16 adds signals, so that's a recent difference.

Svelte handles shared state+reactivity as stores. Svelte contexts allows partitioning of shared state. Reactivity comes from a small superset syntax of JavaScript that acts a bit like a spreadsheet. Svelte is a compiler rather than a full-size runtime library.

Angular relies heavily on rxjs, and synchronous vs asynchronous state is quite distinct and "boilerplatey". Switching between sync and async can be a real pain sometimes. That said, Angular is VERY opinionated, which makes it predictable from a developer point of view. (I think SvelteKit is as well, but its track record is a lot shorter than Angular's.)

Variable interpolation looks about the same, but Angular uses custom HTML attributes for control flow whereas Svelte uses syntax that's more akin to Velocity templates.

Angular still has a virtual DOM, and the smallest app bundle is still often more than a megabyte even before it hits your code. Time to first render is still pretty bad. Angular's compiler, while faster in v15-v16, is still dog slow compared to many younger frameworks.

Svelte is smaller and faster at both compile time and runtime, at least when you have fewer than 250 components, give or take.

Angular components use annotations heavily and use separate files for logic, markup, and styling. Svelte components put logic, markup, and styling in a single file but with less boilerplate. Both support two-way data binding. Angular is more mature but somewhat arcane while Svelte looks much more like vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.

Svelte CSS styles are scoped to the component automatically by default without worrying about prefixes or naming conventions.

Angular routing is more programmatic. SvelteKit routing is filesystem path-based.

Svelte has a REPL. I don't know of one for Angular.

Angular has a massive ecosystem. Svelte's ecosystem is far smaller, but integration of vanilla JS libraries is typically easier with Svelte than Angular. Still, Angular's breadth of community is undeniably larger.
Brazilian soils are phosphate poor. I believe that's typical of tropical soils. So they have a mineral bottleneck, that can't be solved by pumping energy into the supply chain.
And incomes wouldn't have stagnated if we hadn't doubled the workforce by telling women they would actually be happier if the didn't have kids but instead had a career.

As an American, it’s strange seeing this discussed so openly.

In the US, any notion of “protecting the culture” is considered taboo. Implying that outside influence would not be your peers, and using terms like “serfs in some content factory in some lawless backwater” would be considered downright racist.

Personally, I can see value in keeping a thriving industry locally (which, again, is almost taboo in the US). I wonder how this compares to countries like, say, Japan or South Korea, which have thriving entertainment sectors of their own. Do they also have protection laws to enable this, or are they able to maintain this organically?
There are lots of options, but my favorite is GNUnet.
