The point they they seem to omit is that TLS roughly doubles the cost to serve static content, assuming no hardware offloads are used. Roughly 40% of our CPU time on the Netflix CDN (on nodes w/o TLS offload NICs) is spent doing TLS crypto.

I'm not saying I'm against TLS, far from it. But it does carry costs, and I'm surprised somebody so passionately against TLS would omit this argument.
Gambit also hits another naming convention for Scheme implementations: that they be synonyms for "scheme" or related to it.

Scheme, Gambit, Racket, Guile, Larceny.

Gauche might be an antonym?

(IIRC, Racket got its name shortly before they were looking into promoting its use on Wall Street. I guess OCaml didn't have the problem of lighting up the regulatory compliance monitoring board every time someone mentioned "Racket" in email.)

I am curious about an inverse facet of facial recognition. i.e. watching the watchers. If I owned a grocery store would it be illegal for me to use facial recognition to identify undercover cops trying to bring in under-age people to buy cigarettes to bust the sales clerks for failing to properly check ID? If so what law would I be violating? Perhaps the use of a leaked government ID database?

Are there any open source projects that could be utilized for this purpose assuming I am using a legitimately acquired database? Could I use machine learning for this? e.g. this adult has driven into a police parking lot {x} days per year and now is in my store with a teen near them This would not be to evade the law but rather to heighten awareness of clerks so they do not end up with a life-long felony record for making one mistake when things get busy.

I concur with the other comments here that this is almost useless. It could be useful if you're interested in companies dumb enough to care about most of the stuff this article focuses on. I've conducted over 3,000 interviews, most of them via Karat (https://karat.com/), and I can say that, as a software engineer at least, you can safely ignore this kind of advice.
That sound terrible. Most jobs are for specialty positions, so you'd need 10,000's of different certifications tracks.

A written engineering competency test (basically, an industry-standard set of whiteboard questions) sounds good, but, having hired credentialed-but-incompetent engineers from other fields, I can definitely say it helps a lot less than you'd think.

Ah yes, “studies”, no doubt by “experts”. Think about how ridiculous this claim is in the context of a software engineering team. What mechanism is supposed to be at work?

Random tech and Linux musings :)
[OP here]

> Red Hat made linux mainstream.

1. In the English-speaking world, mainly meaning North America.

For instance, SUSE is just as old, and brought Linux to the mainstream in Mitteleuropa. Not just in "DACH" (the German speaking world: Deutschland, Austria, Confœderatio Helvetica), but also for instance it was the first Czech-language distro. I worked for SUSE in Prague for 4 years, and it is still big in that part of the world.

Conectiva brought it to LatAm. TurboLinux to Japan. Etc., etc.

2. FSVO "mainstream" -- Red Hat Linux (note, not RHEL) was not really very useful as a desktop OS. I ran it, I used it, but trying to install something as complex as a desktop using raw RPM with no dependency management was nightmarish. That's where Mandrake came from: Red Hat refused to bundle KDE because Qt wasn't 100% GPL, so Mandrake ported KDE to RHL and bundled them.

Caldera was even earlier, and OpenLinux 1.0 with KDE was the first desktop distro I tried that was polished enough to make my primary OS for a while.

RHL was mainly a server OS, and as such, not very mainstream for most people.

It is fascinating how some ancient techniques had remarkable properties even though they didn’t have the tools or science to explain it back then. I recently learnt that ancient concrete has self healing properties because of the reaction of air/water with lime and volcanic ash.

Right, RCM assumes a symmetric matrix.

Will that “non-profit” be ok with my site raving about Russia’s involvment in Ukraine? What about a fan website for the Iranian Ayatollah? Or a website describing in detail Taiwan’s vulnerable targets just as China is about to attack them?

Chances are that the answer to all those questions is “no, the Western-run Let’s Encrypt will not be ok with all that” and if it were for the push to come to the shove (or whatever the expression is) they’ll be more than glad to invalidate that certificate (or worse, to compromise it without letting you know).

Granted, the same thing will most probably happen with one’s DNS provider and with his/her ISP, but why have another dependency if one can avoid it?

Right, so your 90 seconds is actually closer to 10 minutes for most people. That's a lot of time to communicate "AI tends to render one banana as two bananas", which was OP's point.

Yes, there were pictures that communicated the same thing, but people naively thought that those 2348 words may actually hold some additional information, as otherwise ca 2300 of them would be completely superfluous. But they were wrong; again, OP's point. Not sure what's so mystifying by this.

I disagree. I think the mistake was bringing CentOS in house: legitimising a free version of their own cash cow.

It is virtually Rule No. 1 of business: don't compete with yourself. If you are selling something expensive, don't later start to offer an unrestricted free version too.
It is frustrating. At the end of the day uBlock can only block what it can see. If I'm an asshole web host I can still take your IP and every other bit of data that I can gobble up from the HTTP headers and sell those off to the highest bidder and uBlock can't do anything about that. So, nefarious actors still be nefarious actors.

Most of the places that just laid off are also mandating work from office, and are having a very hard time with attrition and hiring.

This is a perfect time to go to a company without those problems, since they'll be hiring much better than average these days, and, with any luck, their major corporation competitors are going to see their roadmaps implode.
Makie is almost 100% written in Julia and a pretty big library by now... So not so great ^^
But Julia 1.9 now supports caching binary and we also worked a lot on improving compile times, so after `precompiling` Makie (which, admittedly takes a while), time to first plot can be under a second:

julia> @time using GLMakie

4.954254 seconds (9.99 M allocations: 617.151 MiB, 7.81% gc time, 0.58% compilation time: 39% of which was recompilation)

julia> @time display(scatter(1:4))

0.780343 seconds (672.09 k allocations: 51.171 MiB, 2.08% gc time, 63.66% compilation time)

Since 2012 I have a one-track mind. I want a world with:

* hundreds of software products for any need (mostly check)

* that can all be easily modified by hundreds of thousands of people,

* creating tens of thousands of forks,

* publishing thousands of forks

* used by millions of people.

This is really cool for Linux! Hopefully as people figure out the SteamDeck is a PC running Arch and KDE, the Steamdeck will become some folks' computer.

It comes down to the course - a course that just teaches a cargo cult like set of steps is a bad course, one that involves a proper discussion of the fundamentals is a good one.

All I'm saying, the fact that a course uses a particular tool chain isn't the determinant factor to whether a course is good or not.

So the offices should speak the local language, or a common language. Chinese terms won't matter at all unless Chinese is chosen as the common language.

It's fortunate for a lot of English speakers that English is often chosen as a common language as a lot of people in tech from basically anywhere in the world learn it.

Ask HN: Is there an e-commerce platform that doesn't suck?
I run a small, niche retail business that has thousands of products. Especially products with multiple variants, some of which are regular stock and some of which are special order. I'm currently using Square for POS which is alright, but their online offering is terrible:

- Products can only be "in stock" or "out of stock". Out of stock products cannot be ordered. There's no option to place an order with a longer expected lead time.

- The web UI for managing inventory has weird eventual consistency bugs that cause it to lose data. I'll upload 50 pictures of different variants of products and the change will be rejected because of a concurrency issue.

- The actual website layout is extremely limited. I know Shopify has a templating language which can be used to completely rewrite the front-end. Square recently announced "scrolling text is here" as if that was a thing I wanted.

- Individual product pages don't seem to be indexed by Google. I can do a site:mysite.com search and they don't appear.

- No support for Google Shopping in Canada.

Does anyone have experience with something like BigCommerce or something besides Shopify + Square? How featureful are they and easy to host?
Of course, in the beginning, it could only offset base actions like pointless violence and aggressive, rude behaviour. But in the future, as we hope to simulate more advanced brains, we could offset for instance cognitive dissonance, double standards, and perhaps one day even vanity!

What @dcow said.

The GPL only says you must provide the source to your customers. Not to anyone else. It does not compel you to offer them the world, gratis, no, not if you don't want.
> Meta buys out at least one WhatsApp competitor (Discord? Telegram?).

I would be surprised if they would be allowed to. They never should have been permitted to buy Instagram, but I think regulators have woken up a bit since then.

Also, their whole ad-targetting business model, already damaged by iOS privacy settings, is increasingly looking like it might be illegal in the E.U.[0]. Oops.
