Yeah i built a house pricing web service in Rust under the Axum framework. It is seriously fast, but in my opinion it a very difficult choice for web if speed is not the essential requirement.

I feel -- at least at my level of Rust competence -- working with the borrow checker becomes a combinatorial puzzle where you're mostly trying to just make the errors go away. Even for my simple service the method signatures get quite rediculous, and the amount of indirection involved required to satisfy the borrow checker is not something I feel would scale well.
There are 100 ways we could solve this. And 100 groups, one to veto each way. So nothing will be done, it's the bystander effect.

The same basic thing prevents action on climate change.
All of the FAANGs are various levels of unethical, or a net negative for society in my estimation. No more interviewing there for me.
Seems uncool to share this. You should take it down.
Shit I might work the pumps for $100 an hour, if part time. Full face respirator for the fumes and I'm golden.
mpg is directly correlated to size and weight.

I don't know the details but apparently some concession was made to big auto on mpg that meant there was a loophole and bigger heavier trucks didn't count against your mpg targets as much. That, not a focus on mpg, is the cause.
I think the OP was referring to how governments tend to be conciliatory to actors just responding to market forces in one side of the debate and not the other. Jon Stewart had a good interview with Larry Summers on this (although I realize he’s no longer in the government). Stewart’s point was that the govt/central bank tends to make excuses for letting corporations benefit from “market forces” but do more to actively thwart workers for using those same forces to their own benefit.
We're almost identical, which is one reason why the gas thing is so weird: these seemingly identical people have an entire set of unknown customs around an everyday activity. I wouldn't call it magical. I would call it uncomfortable. Glad to see the end of it.
I love the expression "you stop being biology and briefly become physics".
Ask HN: What do you use for an authenication/authorization solution
I’m working at an early pre seed startup and building out the product. Every time I visit implementing Identity, I struggle with a good solution. Building it in house is costly and fraught with potential errors, but platforms like Auth0 charge an exorbitant amount per user that’s difficult to do at an early stage of a company. I’m curious to what other people are using in their products.
Two Kinds of Job for Data Teams
In my city, monitored alarms aren't worthwhile for non-commercial properties. For the police to respond, your alarm has to be registered, and registration requires authorized first responders with keys to confirm that an alarm is false or valid before police are called/dispatched.
from back in 2008 "the Petroleum Equipment Institute, a trade group, found that there were at least 170 static electricity fires at gas stations from 1992 to 2006. Considering that the American Petroleum Institute estimates that there are 11 billion refuelings in the United States a year, the problem probably isn’t a big one." from https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/automobiles/27STATIC.html

I'll note that in the state I live (MN) it's technically illegal to get back in your car while pumping (you have to be " in close attendance to the dispenser nozzle").
“The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt.”

If you are interviewing for a senior-ish position in some specific domain, and it has a take-home, and it recommends a time limit, and you blow past that time limit because you aren't familiar with the domain, then either:

- You aren't familiar with the domain and its working as intended, you're just bad at time management.

- You're not even familiar enough with the domain to know you're doing a bad job.

- You learned the whole domain and it was a good use of time.

In any case, slogging through a take-home you're not qualified for should warrant an introspection on your part. It should still warrant a response from the company if you submit it, and it sounds like certain companies have a ghosting problem. But it's not surprising that people who spend 10 hours on something that should take 2 hours are perhaps not coming up with good solutions and not qualified for the job they're interviewing for.
> To have record-breaking profits means that are markets are record-breakingly inefficient

You took that a step too far and started mixing up what inefficiency means. Apple, for instance, has record breaking profits. In general, profits increase year over year such that every year is a record breaker.
> job of Central bank is to increase interest rates until unemployment rate increases

This is incorrect. The job of the Fed is to maximise price stability (which it defines as 2% inflation) and minimise unemployment (which it defines as the natural unemployment rate, to which we are close). There has basically never been a time when the Fed wanted unemployment to go up. (Keep in mind: unemployment != wage increases, though the two are related as are prices.)
I have enough trouble typing things I mean to say without trying to transcribe line noise. That sounds like a terrible job.
In Laplace's 1795 essay introducing what is now known as Bayesian probabilities, one of the first example given was of a kind of simple language model, potentially making the first word used in such models, "Constantinople".

"This principle gives the reason why we attribute
regular events to a particular cause. Some philosophers
have thought that these events are less possible than
others and that at the play of heads and tails, for
example, the combination in which heads occurs twenty
successive times is less easy in its nature than those
where heads and tails are mixed in an irregular manner.
But this opinion supposes that past events have an
influence on the possibility of future events, which is
not at all admissible. The regular combinations occur
more rarely only because they are less numerous. If
we seek a cause wherever we perceive symmetry, it is
not that we regard a symmetrical event as less possible
than the others, but, since this event ought to be the
effect of a regular cause or that of chance, the first of
these suppositions is more probable than the second.
On a table we see letters arranged in this order,
C o n s t a n t i n o p l e, and we judge that this
arrangement is not the result of chance, not because it is
less possible than the others, for if this word were not
employed in any language we should not suspect it
came from any particular cause, but this word being in
use among us, it is incomparably more probable that
some person has thus arranged the aforesaid letters
than that this arrangement is due to chance."
As both a web dev and a parks lover... have you tried to use the agencies' own sites much? Even for a flagship park like Yosemite (https://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm), it's hard to figure out how the different permits work. They're way down the page, requires going through several similar-sounding pages, all to no obvious next step. Even something as basic as having clear calls-to-action aren't there.

And figuring out where to go in the park... what's the difference between Plan Your Visit and Things to Do and Places to See? Why is it so hard to get a cohesive map that shows not just where to sleep but also the best places to visit and the recommended driving/hiking routes? What's the difference between a standard map, a brochure map, a simple map, a park map, and a valley map? Why aren't road closures and other alerts reflected on the maps?

Why doesn't the Fees page talk about permit or camping fees at all?

Which areas of the park are reservation-only, which are permitted, which are first-come-first serve?

These are just basic examples I pulled off one site. Most NP sites are like that. And remember this is for Yosemite, one of the country's (if not the world's) most visited tourist destinations, and they couldn't even do basic UX well. This isn't for a lack of knowledge (the on-the-ground rangers are awesome! talk to one next time before you venture forth!), but digital isn't a priority to them. It's not even an afterthought. It's more often than not "oh, I don't know how that works or who works on it or who pays for it".

Before Recreation.gov and ReserveAmerica before it, digital efforts WERE often done in-house, to disastrous effect. Even now, you will usually find better visitor's guides and resources outside of official NPS sites, like on Alltrails or random blogs or "best of" lists.

There is no magic sauce in web development, but it does take a particular type of agency to be able to make good pages with a focus on the end-user. Maybe to you and I such a site is relatively simple to set up. But that is NOT the NPS's strong suit at all, and it would be a forever uphill battle to convince their administrators and the Department of Interior and Congress to focus on usability. I doubt many of them have ever tried to book their own reservation.

Many of their parks don't even run their own restaurants and lodging[1] (which any tourist destination usually would), but you expect them to do well running a multi-agency, multi-site, multi-rule booking system? It's just not practical given the current staffing and skillset.

[1] If you think outsourcing to Booz is bad, yeesh, the hospitality concessionaires like Aramark are even worse. Talk about overpriced and poor quality =/
Thanks, did not think to check the System Menu.
If you take advantage of the GPL clause that allows you to redistribute the code that built the binaries that Red Hat provided you (which, according to the GPL, you're allowed to do), Red Hat is under no obligation to provide you with new binaries - and therefore no requirement to provide you updates to that code.

IANAL, but that doesn't break the GPL as far as I can tell.
Plenty of assumptions there, and a somewhat defensive tone, might want to look into that.

I'm telling you, something's off; most women don't even want what they're looking for when they get it.

It's quite possibly a similar story for men, but I don't have the experience to judge.
Amazon. There are even strips. Now can we trust the manufacturer of the tests themselves given amazons sometimes shitty vendor quality? Who knows.
(@dang doesn't work - I only saw this by accident)

For the same reason that e.g. a supreme court decision doesn't get read at a concert.

People sometimes argue that a story is so important it ought to be on HN, but that's a non sequitur. HN isn't about the most important things in the world. Many things are far more important than everything on the front page right now. HN is a site for intellectual curiosity, and that's always going to involve a certain amount of trivia - like living in spherical homes, or pumping your own gas in Oregon.
You would be correct.

To have a true capitalistic marketplace ala Adam Smith, you need government regulation to specifically break up oligopolies: companies which get so large they can collude and price-fix. We call these laws anti-trust laws.

In the US particularly, anti-trust laws are recklessly unenforced, leading to exactly this situation.
alexa likes to reach out to my emergency contact when i tell her to turn down the volume. it can be infuriating
I know for certain I've discharged static electricity by touching metal of my car after getting in/out, or cleaning out trash, etc while the pump runs.

Would that little spark be enough to ignite the vapors? I have no earthly idea.
Hahaha. Man wants to be fit, swears on his diet routine, sees a chocolate bar on the kitchen table literally 3 seconds later and reverses his decision. Is he under the control of his rational mind? Will? Does an alcoholic choose to continue to drink alcohol after he is an addict?

There is will, and there is will.

Pretending that this doesn't apply to whole societies and that today's secular societies are not driven mostly by a deterministic mechanism consisting of human nature combined with the environment (technology + physical world) is a fool's act, and the ubiqiotus internet commenter attitude. Man yelling at the clouds, clouds of human nature and environment.
I prefer to use process substitution (not in POSIX):

OP and founder of interviewing.io here. We spent hundreds of hours interviewing current & former FAANG interviewers to write this piece. We really wanted to peel back the curtain on what happens during these interviews, what actually matters to them, how these companies train their interviewers (if at all), make hiring decisions, and so on.

I'll be around to answer questions, and I'll tag in Kevin, the author, as well (I just edited it).
the argument seems to be that redhat is/was playing fairly and then Oracle/AWS/Google/etc (which for legal reasons obviously cannot be named explicitly) came and started freeloading on redhat's work instead of "working together". bit of a tragedy of the commons/adverse selection issue within "capitalism" than a "capitalism vs community" thing.

maybe they should just grandfather RHEL (only support current releases for the 10 year period, no new LTS) and if clients want a security patched newer version of Linux, offer consultancy to help them switch to Oracle Linux. and then Larry will have to actually do the work lol.

maybe at a later point they can offer support for a bug-for-bug compatible rebuild of Oracle Linux :-)
People randomly crossing the street? Yeah you have to stop to the best of your ability because murder is against the law, but if they are jaywalking across a busy street and get hit? I highly doubt any state would prosecute you if you were going the speed limit and hit your brakes but still hit them.
Hang on, the F-150 and Silverado started ballooning in the late 90s. The Hummer came, Nissan introduced their Titan truck in 2004, the Toyota Tundra got massive. All years before 2008.

Regulations may have well prevented reversal, but the buying public was clearly already making its preferences loud and clear.
HFT isn't even that harmful. What's harmful is brokerages that hold large portions of financial instruments who take advantage of customers' live buying and selling with delayed swaps, intentional front running, etc. This is how the stock market was bullied before HFT, options markets, trading bots, etc enabled 'everyone' to do skeezy arbitrage and not just market makers.

The only meaningful way to limit the efficacy of these modern trading styles would be purposeful market friction through minimum holding times, circuit breakers, etc. You can't just legislate that people mustnt have low ping.. it's impossible to enforce. And those market friction mechanisms can create scary market conditions like backlogs, etc and guess what, enable market making brokerages to do internal swaps etc. in spite of the friction and essentially be the only ones able to bypass restrictions.
It's not really the entire world: See Spain [1]:
Until the financial crisis in 2007, the country liberalized building, often quite dense as opposed to plain sprawl. See, for instance, the growth in the towns surrounding Madrid around train stations. The crisis slowed it down massively though, in part because a lot of builders lost their shirts, as the building became massive overbuilding. But when demand goes up enough, it's still possible to build, and build high. In my home town in Spain, people can still afford homes. If there's an issue, it's still just jobs instead.

So yes, this is all something that is politically solvable in the west. We just need a unified legislative recipe, and strong advocacy. Other lobbying groups manage to get through very unpopular legislation. Why not for something that would actually help?

As far as my opinion goes, I lump game software in with other software. There is definitely a more artistic element to games than there is to most productivity software, but I think that people still really don't think about the person behind it like that would with a novel.

EDIT: Ah, but here's an interesting example. How about text adventure games? Interactive fiction? I really enjoyed the Infocom text adventure games, and came to appreciate the writers behind them -- Steve Meretzky, Dave Lebling, Marc Blank, etc. But as much as I enjoyed those games, for what came after Infocom's demise, I never got much into anyone else's interactive fiction. Very likely it was superior software, but I was accustomed to those particular writers, and just wasn't (and haven't been for decades) in the mood much to pick up another author's text adventure game.
Just a heads up to anybody super starry-eyed about fang, I worked 10+ years non-fang, and tried fang, and it was absolutely miserable, one of my least favorite jobs of my career. Yes I made a lot, but I also worked and stressed proportionally more. YMMV.
I think we should shoot for house prices increasing at exactly the inflation level (after a correction for current high prices of course). To me, this would be good enough to be considered a 'good investment', and wouldn't be unfair to future generations.
Definitely agree with unethical, although net negative seems a lot harder to quantify. Amazon has a lot of bad practices I disagree with, but are they net negative? I find it difficult to assess. And even if they aren't net negative now, is the 10 year trajectory clearly downward?

Soloing out Netflix, is there anything particularly wrong with them? I have significant gripes with all the others but no specifics about Netflix.
I would gladly take a $350K/yr paycheck for a decade, then retire and do social work for free.
Cash, and transit. That's about it.

They're accidentally leaking their internal marketing texts in the blog post.
The West has moved to a Vetocracy. It prevents things from becoming significantly worse, but also things from becoming much better.
>But increasingly, we fixed it by normalizing hostility to men

What evidence do you have of this? All my friends who want healthy views of women consider me a valid human being, deserving of respect and care, even though I have a penis. Sure, lots of young men are glomming onto this absurd train of hatred, that women or "femoids" actually naturally enjoy rape and other horseshit, but they are being told this stuff by adult men, who clearly and overtly do not consider women to be equals, or deserving of anything but nonconsensual sex.

How the hell do you blame the toxic masculinity problem, caused by assholes like Jordan Peterson, Andrew tate, Nick Fuentes, "Fresh and fit podcast" etc, on women asking to be treated like people. It is not women driving the hatred against women, it is morally bankrupt individuals quite literally profiting off boys who were never told that they shouldn't be trying to pressure their girlfriend into sex, or kids who have no idea how to treat women being told "here's a simple mental model" that surely explains all their problems, they just have to be fit enough or attractive enough and then they will get the sex they "deserve".

Meanwhile, all these "Manosphere" influencers seem to be really against anyone being gay, or anyone being trans, and also for some reason are great friends with actual neo-nazis, and I don't remember those people being very pro-women's rights.
How open is the toolchain/SDK for Renesas parts?
I.e. can they be used with gcc/gdb/(c)make with reasonably low effort (like esp32, stm32, rp2040) or is the only realistic option using their IDE?
In recent Firefox on Android, I can now highlight text and there is a Translate option along with Copy Paste etc. I have the Google Translate app installed, I assume that's doing it.
I don't know why everyone is talking about mastodon. I'm not taking about mastodon. I've never used it nor do I like twitter as a space for conversation.

I'm talking about the fediverse in general (activity pub protocol) and the paradigm of "basically following a block list" which, after seeing how mono narrative and US centric some online spaces tend to be, I don't find appealing.

In particular my qualms were comparing it to the likes of reddit, which is usually heavily moderated.

I appreciate the suggestion of co-op. Don't think it will solve the "as an individual I don't want to be bound by the majority's Blocklist when people are so prone to behave like mobs" but I do understand the appeal. It works as a small wrbbof trust. För very small communities, it can work. But not much chance to grow and be an interesting compendium of ideas and shared content.
>>Consider the fact that most engineers can explain the cause of ..., and the space shuttle Challenger disaster (where Morton Thiokol was told to take off their engineer hats and put on their manager hats when considering O-ring temperature certification).

The money phrase:
>>take off their engineer hats and put on their manager hats

This is what kills people.

To boil it down to one short course in engineering ethics:

Whenever anyone tells you to do act like a manager instead of an engineer when making a technical decision, tell them, in no uncertain terms, and as politely or impolitely as needed to make the point: to fuck off; physics is physics, and neither knows about, cares about, nor yields to human concerns.

(Unless, of course, you are OK with living decades of your remaining life after the accident knowing you accepted a blood-money paycheck to do bad engineering.)

Is your current job, or your company's immediate future worth possibly killing people?
People still do that in Oregon and New Jersey.
ASTM, sovereign wealth funds, etc. Toll roads can be a pretty good investment.
Enterprise apps, then?
Do you have any examples? I’ve only seen something vaguely like that with Reddit.
I use plenty of good government sites. I think pubmed is an example of how powerful a site can be when its designed purely for function versus advertising. You can do all sorts of interesting operations both in search and with an accompanying command line utility that directly interfaces with the database. There's probably a higher percentage of "bad" private sites than bad government sites imo.
Many online sellers post a photo of their factories and workers as a way to demonstrate quality - ie. "look, we make out products with big expensive modern machines, not children doing it by hand". Some aliexpress sellers even post 20-30 pictures of different parts of the production process.

Posting a stock photo is trying to defraud buyers who expect to see the factory it is made in.
