Tax evasion is people stealing from you, just in an indirect way. Just because some people already steal from us doesn't mean it's OK for other (richer) people to steal even more from us.

You may believe there's a better way for the government to tax us, but that's not how the system works currently.

Crypto being used for tax evasion is a good reason for it to be regulated out of existence.
> leaving folks like me who would prefer to work with others and don’t mind moving no options.

This reminds me of when Christians in America say they're being persecuted, when of course, they're dominant. I think it would be a good idea to acknowledge that "wanting to work with others in the office" is the norm, not unusual. If this is truly your preference, don't worry, you aren't losing your dominance any time soon.

The trouble with defining the reference-containing struct as a value type is that assignment to the struct assigns _through_ the reference rather than making it refer to something else.

My impression of the article is that more precise and pedantic language is required to talk about these things.
I haven't looked at the source, but the way to write one of these that's fast is to use incremental computation. [0]

It tends to take a lot of RAM, but the speedups possible are 3-5 orders of magnitude in the projects I've studied.

Here's a parallel C++ library to do so that requires relatively minor changes to the original algorithm. [1] [2]

I also believe it would be possible to develop a compiler framework to do the transformation mostly automatically, using an MLIR dialect.

This. Conda and Venv in paper should be like docker plug and play... But in practice they can be a hit or miss. Still better than manual global library management.
That's so cool, I didn't even know Passkeys were available to use already.

Does anyone know of a good resource / tutorial / example / best practices on building login/signup systems in web apps with Passkeys?

Also, what's browser support like? I'd love for some simple system to just replace PassportJS and all those confusing systems.

In your analogy, "Facebook et al" seems equivalent to "Binance et al". And OP asked about journalists too. Imagine if CNBC ran an article titled "Facebook fined for privacy violations - is this the end of the internet?" We'd all have a field day. I don't begrudge your grandma for not knowing the difference. But a journalist or HN commenter is expected to know. I wish we held crypto discourse to that same standard of being at least minimally informed.

Well, that's a little uncharitable, isn't it? Assuming the developers primarily use Windows, they probably just don't have much priority for it; there's probably a lot of things they could do with the time. Perhaps they don't even have a setup to test it, and even as a staunch Linux user, I can't blame someone for not wanting to mess with all of the GPGPU drivers and non-sense.

Just trying to be fair here.

What's interesting is that if you look on amazon, MERV 13 filters + Bungee Cords + 20" box fans are commonly ordered together. Further you can do a 20x20x4" MERV 13 to increase the lifespan of the filters.

It also beats the price of buying specialized HEPA filters for a particular brand of air filter.

They are not near nil. Every idea ever conceived has either been rejected or altered to match new observations.

That means that most ideas will end up being wrong in some way. The smoking-gun laws of nature are few and far between.

If you consider what % of ideas throughout history were plain wrong, it’s hard to believe that we have finally figured it all out and the consensus finally reflects reality most of the time.
Out of interest what are your thoughts on the Aranet4? (other than it's quite high price of course).
> Steam but where you actually own, and so can resell, your game licenses.

This is already possible and always has been. The reason steam and the game studios haven’t implemented it is because it wasn’t in their interest to do so, not because they didn’t have the technology to.
Tesla didn't sell nearly as many of them. up to 2020 Tesla sold admit 250k model S globally. for comparison, that's about as many as model Ys produced in the first quarter of 2023. Tesla has produced about 3 million model 3s and xs since 2020 so if you see a Tesla, it's only about a 1 in 12 of being a pre 2020 model S.

What do you mean by “rest”? Recovery requires processing the cognitive/emotional complexities that cause the burnout. Sometimes some improvement happens intuitively: you avoid the problem for a while, aka rest or holiday or sabbatical, re-discover the core interest(s), and re-approach the old situation from a new perspective. That usually leaves some old, irrational aversions lingering around, but it shows the healthy pattern: find your safety and build from there. Social isolation is a deeper, more profound frustration than professional struggles, so this time will be harder and deeper, but therefore more formative once you reach the other side. This is the realm of religiosity, not mere psychology; not that I recommend looking for a religious answer, but that I suggest you give the problem that degree of respect, contemplative optimism, and patience.

What risk do you think the market has been handsomely compensating Bitcoin investors for over the last year?

Genuine question, I don't know the answer, but if the market were pricing in the risk of Bitcoin suddenly going to zero through regulatory action, it might make sense that the price goes up a lot as old investors compensate new investors to exit while the music slows.

I feel like people smarter about finance than me who were paying close attention to Bitcoin might gather clues about this hypothesis from watching the order book consistently, so yeah, genuinely asking.

I used to mow lawns. We would dump the clippings into a pasture to feed the cows. They absolutely loved it, and would come running when they heard our truck. The rancher told us to stop after one of them died of a weird illness. There's a a lot of nasty shit people spray on their lawns to make them look nice and green.
Welcome to team leadership.
I understand and am sort of aware of the laws. It seems however very hypocritical to discriminate base upon profession. IANAL but I suspect that if for example airline will not let passenger to board a plane citing that they work "shitty low paying job" as a reason said airline might get in trouble anyways.
This might be a political stance, but it's not exactly a radical one:

> Tech that mediates a relationship between two users should not give special powers to a third party.

It's not anti-government, it's anti-tampering. I'm most concerned with government tampering, but that's just me. I can exchange tokens with somebody who is concerned with alien tampering (something I don't worry about in the slightest) and we can all disagree about the "why" while still agreeing on the "what".

Maybe there's a subset of users that would prefer to have some authority they can appeal to when something goes wrong. That's fine, crypto isn't for them right now. But I suspect that those authorities will eventually abuse their position of trust. When it happens, I hope crypto is a nice enough place for them to turn to. As it stands there's a lot of work to do for that to be the case.

I was trying to edit myself for brevity.

I do think that for both industries a multi-decade phase out would give people plenty of time to change their investment portfolios. This would do less economic damage in the short term. That’s a good thing.

In the case of fossil fuels, we still need to go all-in on alternatives for two functions: air travel and sea travel. We can do that in the time scale of 2 to 3 decades imho.

But look up synthetic derivatives as part of the global economy. It is crazy. Such a huge piece of the economy. So crazy that it makes me have crazy thoughts like maybe let it be, with a Tobin tax of sorts assigned to novel anti-poverty solution attempts.
In principle, yes? But it's a much more roundabout way of saving space. Reducing or avoiding optimizations like LTO or unused function elimination is at odds with minimizing binary sizes and maximizing performance. It's asking developers to prioritize the disk usage of the system as a whole over the performance of their own software.
I like working in office and working at home equally. I have a more comfortable setup at home. I have a proper home office. Working from home allows me to do my best work at peace.

Working in office with people gives me a sense of belonging. It also makrs a clear distinction between working and non working hours. But my commute sucks. It's 1.5 hours one way! Moving closer is not an option. I would prefer to go to office on alternate days so I can have the best of both worlds.
What about diesel boats? They are exclusively attack subs but fuel is relatively limited.
Fwiw I don't use the app, but I have a Yi 4k camera, which I bought used as a cheap GoPro alternative, and it's surprisingly easy to hack some stuff with.

It has a WiFi connection feature which is primarily meant for use with their app (which is kind of garbage), but it's a Linux system and I can telnet into it with root privileges and mess around with the filesystem. It has an rtsp stream, a fairly ok remote control API with some community libraries in github, and even has Python (2.7, at least until I take the time to figure out how to cross-compile a more recent version, but still).

Just this week I was playing with building a script to hook up the rtsp stream to my PC so I could use an AI model to do bird classification and set it up next to my bird feeder.

It's not advertised as being hacker friendly and I imagine this openness is more due to a lack of the zealousness and resources that more expensive products seem to insist on dedicating to locking everything down, but it's been really fun and I'd definitely get a couple more cheap ones, given the opportunity. No idea what the situation is on their other products though, and it does suck that non-technical users are stuck with an app with ads.

Those giant cars are pretty expensive themselves though, both to buy and to fuel. If you have a huge truck or SUV but can't afford housing... well, you probably could afford more housing without the huge car. This isn't "avocado toast" style criticism, cars are a significant expense - typically your second largest expense after housing.
One comment:

> It is very wrong for the extension to change ownership without warning the user about it. I trusted the original developer of this extension, but i do not trust Avast.

I don't see the logic here. Unless Avast had threatened him, I wouldn't trust neither of the parties. How do you trust someone that sells their extension to someone you don't trust and still trust them?
That stuck out to me also. Reading it again, though, the pilot is talking to NorCal, not the local ATC, at this point. I think the NorCal person is being sarcastic rather than stating a policy:

"That’s great. Apparently, aircraft on the ground have priority over aircraft in the air."

(basically taking a swipe at the priorities of the local ATC, who both of them seem pretty pissed at)
I do think believing that you are a deity is a sufficiently far fetched falsehood to justify calling you a lunatic. For the sake of argument I suppose I'm willing to accept "profoundly confused individual" as a fourth alternative. But I don't think it helps the rhetorical point against painting arguments for "lord lunatic or liar" as an unjustified demand for absolute beliefs.

And no, you're not a lunatic for believing someone else's bullshit.
Cool project. There are some free offerings out there, such as Adjust, and then more robust offerings such as Branch. Given that, I think $17/year is a pretty tough sell.
Impressive work!

> International travel.

Probably less harmful; the per-year CO2 emissions are similar (depending how long your commute is and how much travel you do), and travel has fewer of the other negative externalities (taking up road space and city space, killing people directly).

> People need to get to work, nobody needs to backpack through Europe

Perhaps, but I don't see how putting out an extra n tonnes of CO2 by driving an unnecessary giant car to work is any better than putting out an extra n tonnes of CO2 on things that are more directly self-indulgent. (If anything I'm more sympathetic to wasteful consumption if the consumer is at least enjoying themselves)
Burnout due to different sources needs different fixes.

I get the impression that you are struggling with isolation. Not speaking the language is a huge barrier to everyday interactions. Although you work onsite, your team is remote, which in effect is the same as you still working remote too.

Maybe this suggestion comes too late, but you could have taken a holiday back home. Reconnecting with what is familiar can ease hidden anxieties. Another factor might be that you are still having withdrawal effects from having stopped drinking.

Maybe a thorough medical check-up is needed to confirm that you haven't got some sort of underlying cause for your condition. Diet and exercise are other things to consider as well.
> I can't blame someone for not wanting to mess with all of the GPGPU drivers and non-sense.

Thanks for the downvote and for proving my point for me. That was literally exactly what I said. :)

Sometimes, people develop relationships of all different kinds with the people they work with. Terminating someone's access at 4am instead so they don't get a chance to say goodbye to those people and those attachments is, well, I wouldn't say inhumane, but it's disrespectful to those connections that have been formed.

Giving people the chance to say goodbye and commit their in-progress work and save their personalized shell scripts to their personal devices, not to mention personal effects at their desk; little niceties like that, were lacking in layoffs elsewhere.

Sorry, I was talking about software used by FAANG employees (sorry Meta, I hate your new name, not sorry really).

Now, thinking about that case, I guess that Apple could make it easy for people to depend on AGPL software that they download on their own, and that Apple only provides some sort of index or crawlers for it. No need for Apple to have AGPL software on their end.
There are still inexpensive purely mechanical scales. I wouldn't expect much accuracy from a spring-based scale, but it should be consistent barring significant temperature variation.
Yes. If I had done some research I probably could have learned how terrible iTunes was in advance. I guess it was really my fault all along.

please note that my comment said:

> the lifetime of a named object

in this case "new T" does not create a named object.

the lifetime of an unnamed object is determined explicitly by the programmer (i.e. "delete p" in this case), or implicitly if the object is being pointed to by something like a smart pointer, or is undefined (if you didn't assign the result of calling "new" to anything).
When developers add an official modding interface, then it usually works the way you've suggested. They get access to much of the internal API and a sandboxed environment.

Many mods though, work by just subverting the game by replacing components with custom-made ones. This allows substantially more customization.

In Minecraft, both types exist. The first type are called "data packs" or "resource packs" and would not be subject to this attack. The latter type involves swapping in new .jar files and running them directly, which is unsupported by the developer and gives basically unrestricted access.
Well, there goes the world.

This was a Pyrrhic victory for the parent law firm. They'll likely languish a few months but they're the walking dead b/c they were a toxic work environment (and now they've broadcast the fact). Ditto for the spin-off. No winners here, only losers. Surprising how self-destructive assholes are. Here the law firm accumulated a "critical mass" of assholes and then blew up - call it "critical ass", maybe?

Sadly, now anything you say now in private is public. We need to stop this. To do so I want all information (including linkages and identifiers) whatsoever captured by the 3-letter agencies, the phone company and all social media companies for a 3-year period to be released to the public in an easily-researched web site. All of it - from the President down. The release of this data will have at least two benefits:

- everyone will be insanely busy analyzing it,

- everyone will see the truth for that period,

- we will come out with a clearer notion of who and what we are, what privacy means, how our use of information affects us and how people and politics really works.
I really like this, nicely done. I'm often just in the mood to read some good, interesting writing. I can browse HN, no doubt, but sometimes I wish there were just a "best reads on the web" or something along those lines. The Verge and others have this, but just something they do occasionally, like once a year. Plus, this is better because it's timeless, not the best writing from 2023 or whatever. Bookmarked.

Is it harder by an amount that exceeds the amount by which the readily addressable market has expanded for most things?
Certainly, yes.

However, there is a space of potential solutions to this problem, many of which don't involve giving Apple money.

Somehow Apple chose a solution which would involve developers giving Apple what is for many people and open source projects a significant sum of money.

Then, Apple decided to not directly tell Apple users that the thing standing between them and the software they downloaded is that Apple believes the developer needs to give Apple money.

What a fascinating turn of events.
