I’ve been developing professionally for 25+ years and by the time I graduated college in 1996, I had been a hobbyist assembly language developer on four architectures - 65C02, 68K, PPC and x86.

I spent my first 12 years doing at least some C on mainframes, x86 PCs and later maintaining a proprietary development stack written in C for Windows CE devices.

I think in my entire career, the only algorithmic complex things I had to do were some recursive programming and the “Shunting Yard” algorithm.

I did some real hairy C and assembly language optimizations back in the day that I haven’t needed in over a decade. But nothing that was taught in algorithms classes.

I would venture to say that a great majority of your developers doing enterprise CRUD development - which most are - would need to know any algorithms to get their job done.

It doesn’t show as flagged for me. Time heals all wounds, if your comment is not objectionable it will usually be vouched for eventually. Which is one of the reasons it’s a rule here that you don’t complain about voting. Such comments also rarely age like wine :)
Show HN: Test Cloudformation Templates Locally
I have recently had my first external contributor and he has developed the rest of the features needed to bring Cloud-Radar to feature parity with AWS Cloudformation. You can now test everything that Cloudformation does when it creates a Cloudformation Stack but do it locally with no AWS credentials. After 3 years, its nice to see my little side project complete.

Thanks HN <3
What does democracy have to do with being poisoned by another entity without knowledge of the risks? Buying laws is the antithesis of democracy. I could see that argument regarding capitalism (though I probably wouldn’t agree).
So much rationalization. Anytime someone has to rationalize to this great of an extent... I know they have an agenda.

It's extremely simple.

The wright brothers discovered/ invented flight.

Ben Franklin discovered/ invented electricity.

Marconi: radio waves

Flemming: antibiotics

This is settled history agreed upon worldwide, this is not controversial or complicated.

why do you have to rationalize so much!?
Darn. I created a document, setup the info for three sigs, added the recipients emails and then it was unclear how to push it out. I guessed at "Submit it yourself," which required me to add my email so I used the first recipient's and then it opens the doc for me to fill out. It asks for full name and then when I submit, "next" just keeps spinning. FWIW, I am running FireFox with UBO, etc.

This is really important to me, so I'd be glad to work with you to troubleshoot and provide detailed user feedback.
The UK keeps trying to throw their weight around only to find out they aren’t that big. The CMA with Xbox and now this. They aren’t large enough for Apple and Microsoft to make massive changes just to accommodate a relatively small market.
It's kinda the point of WhatsApp tho, phone features using your phone number and phone book but over the internet.
> We lose this when everything is recorded forever.

I'd argue the opposite, we've amplified this affect. Off-hand statements from the past recorded forever get re-examined through a new lens in the present. What previously might have been totally innocuous become a scandal later. Whenever someone rockets into being main character for the day on the internet, their entire history is pulled up and re-assessed.

So like many things, it's amplified by the internet, but largely for the negative.

Not to dismiss your point but sometimes finding in rats do not apply to humans.
The way I put it, is Apple's business is selling high added value products (i.e. luxury, overpriced whatever you want), while most of the other big tech companies have you and your data as their main product. I'm fine paying for the luxury and privacy that comes with it
I always refer to this as "Load-bearing wallpaper" - in so much that folks who see it, wouldn't think twice about tearing it down - it's wallpaper, right? Well, turns out it was load-bearing wallpaper and the house came down as a result.
This isn't a problem with hate crimes this is a problem with the level of immunity cops are given. If hate crimes had never been "made up" (whatever that means) they would have just found another way to make it illegal to piss off cops.
> But often enough when I find a root cause of a bug, or some sort of programmed limitation, the client wants removed. I always refuse until I can find out why that code exists. Nobody puts code in there for no reason, so I need to know why we have a timer, or an override in the first place.

Isn't that just the regular Chesterton's Fence argument though?

The one the article is specifically written to point out is not enough by itself, because you need to know what else has been built with the assumption that that code is there?
yes, but I think they're making fun of me by being sarcastic

We're probably not very far away from an AI being able to email and make calls and do those interviews. Or create a Zoom avatar for itself.

Is it going to produce Pulutzwr-winning articles right off the bat? Probably not. But I could easily see it replacing the more mundane everyday articles, especially when it's just regurgitating some press release or new study or product launch.
All of these are their own accord. That's even what OP's article is about - if Apple is legally required to break their encryption in the EU, then they will discontinue their product.

Let's not pretend this is a privacy-motivated decision. Where Apple doesn't have negotiating power (eg. China) they have been forced to compromise user safety and privacy[0]. We live in a post XKeyscore world, pretending like this doesn't also happen in America or the UK is a bedtime story for helpless capitalists.

Have you ever actually tried to convince a non-technical friend or family member to use a different platform for communicating? Now try that with 10 people at the same time. The only reason Discord ever became successful is the huge vacuum of good UX that existed before it. A fragmentation of Skype, Steam, XFire, Teamspeak, Vent and Mumble. Jabber if you were playing certain MMOs. Signal and Keybase aren't even close either. Matrix is a little better, but still far off, and they have the Mastodon problem where explaining federation turns off normal peoples brains.

And aside from that, a lot of software communities are on Discord now. People are gating download links behind it, use their threading feature for support and put their knowledge base in channels. And not just small communities and developers. ASUS has made their main communication channel Discord too.
So, yeah, unless Notion becomes Free Software and actually secure soon, there's the Notion killer.
> They're wannabe military tough-guys with laughably worse training and culture

Every time they shoot someone after serving a warrant when the subject of the warrant isn't there, it just blows my mind. Do they really just get warrant signed, then roll up and break in? No surveillance?

Who the hell wants to go into a closed room if you could just wait for them to walk outside and swoop in on them when they are in view.

But I guess if you have the gear, you must use it.
> Read assault laws. Most people think that assault is battery. It isn't.

That's why you often hear"assault & battery." "Assault" is causing someone to (reasonably) feel in danger; while "battery" is the actual act.

Here we go. CBDCs are next, and also national Digital IDs. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uwRSzNTp2ko

Real ID + needing it to browse anything on the Internet: https://community.qbix.com/t/the-coming-war-on-end-to-end-en...

From what I see people on HN writing, by and large they downplay the risks of these as well as AI. Or alternately seem to suggest that CBDCs and national IDs are not coming, and that it’s a conspiracy theory. However, the “enshittification of Big Tech platforms” is already a fact, so they simply complain about it, but anytime solutions involving open source, decentralization, and utility tokens are introduced, they are violently voted down. So — since no solutions are welcomed, I guess many denizens of HN support hurtling toward extreme centralized control. After all, we’ll be able to complain about it once it’s in place, and that’s enough!

Edit: literally 5 seconds after I posted it, I received downvotes. Not fast enough for a human to read the message let alone explore the links. I wonder if it’s even automated by keyword now.

Is this some appeal to being exactly equalized and homogenous proletariat?

Double down? Repeatedly? I posted a link to an article with its headline, and only later, when rebutting a comment that implied the article was about something "completely different", I mention that the article is about the Oskvold study and its finding of duplication in 25% of papers. The paper did in fact establish that number (unless you want to quibble about 24% vs. 25%).

Yes, the ArsTechnica headline is poorly written, and not supported by the content of the article, because not all instances of duplication are fraud, but we can clarify that issue by quoting the article itself: "... the fact that it's closer to one in eight should still be troubling."
this looks super cool and great ux (love the keyboard shortcuts, dark mode, notion-like experience). congrats on launching it!

do you have any plans to automate data entry? i currently use airtable and have tried folk, attio, etc. but my biggest frustration is it takes so much time and energy to manually add information about people and companies. would immediately pay $20/mo or more for a product that can automatically enrich any person/company data for me and sync with my calendar, email, twitter, linkedin, etc. to add people/companies.

Getting access to A100s seems to be a general problem for everyone, not limited to you or GCP.

The denial is probably because they don't have any to rent you. Many clouds facing this issue.

When submitting a GCP quota increase, be wordy and explain the details of your need for the new quota. Also, only ask for what you actually need and make sure they have them for the zone. Not all GPUs are in all zones.

Did you ask for more than one? Are you spending actual money on GCP or just using credits?

Also, just a heads up, even with quota, you can still get a no GPU available error if they are all rented at the time
It's a fine idea. But what I'm taking away from this post is the link to the Google/Chromium web DRM prototype and summary ... yikes. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environ...

>- The web page executing in a user's web browser

>- A third party that can “attest” to the device a web browser is executing on, referred to as the attester

>- The web developers server which can remotely verify attestation responses and act on this
information.

Chome only for now but I imagine after it's pushed to Chromium and all the browser based on that Mozilla will implement it too (just like all the other DRM FF has now).
Seems that the UK market is not big enough. In China Apple had no problems with ceding control of their local servers to the Chinese government [1]. Not to mention of using forced labor (mostly Uyghurs, against which China is committing acts of genocide [2]). So, Apple and human rights my ass!

Spot on. More simply, no matter the technical underpinnings, the case will be made in court that because your service provider (and probably the carriers it's connected to) have infrastructure across state lines at all, your traffic could have crossed state lines, and the court will be asked to assume it did. And they probably will.
It's bad enough that banks have virtually unlimited insight into my spending habits that we need to give the Feds the same access. I should have the right to buy a big mac without some government server getting pinged.

This sounds more like the original Chesterton’s fence than what the article is describing. The article is about understanding something’s actual current purpose, rather than just the intended purpose.

What the article is describing reminds me of the XKCD comic workflow: https://xkcd.com/1172/

A system exists external to the creators original purpose, and can take on purposes that were never intended but naturally evolve. It isn’t enough to say “well that is not in the spec”, because that doesn’t change reality.
The former. People have been over-charged for destroying the property of others, in the example given. But my point was comparative.

Also, to clarify, it should be difficult or impossible to charge someone for assault simply for destroying property. But according to how I understand assault laws, and leaving room for jurisdictional interpretation, if you do it while doing something else that can be read as intimidation then you could be vulnerable to an assault charge.

Whether or not the other person is actually intimidated won't ever be considered. Cop or civilian. The intention is what will be charged.

Yeah he smoked a tobacco pipe, as grandpas do, but didn't drink alot was in relatively great physical health for his age before that. He was 70. This was in 2000.

He lived about a year after his diagnosis, which occurred when he was jaundice. His health / quality of life was ok after, some weeks were good, some were bad, but yeah it was stage 4 when they caught it, and there is / was only so much you can do, especially 23 years ago.

Fun Fact: He worked on the Univac! Spent his career with Unisys afterward.
You're new here, aren't you?
i've heard him say the exact words I wrote out in a calm environment of a podcast that doesn't invoke media-gaslighting-urgency, or clip out any of what you say in bad faith

television forces the worst out of people, especially with the constant interruptions made by professional interrupters aka newcasters who's job it is to make people look bad whenever necessary.

i simply don't believe what you have to say because i know the nature of the media business, they're against him so they'll do anything they can to throw him off kilter in a conversation, change the topic, or interrupt him to make it look like he's saying something different. he talks on really complicated topics that can't be compressed through interruptions, the media has only shown itself incapable of hosting such conversations.
I mean for one thing there aren't any laws anywhere protecting anyone else from micro-aggression. I work in a context where this stuff is taken very seriously and I've never seen anyone lose a job over it. I've never been asked to attest to something at all, to say nothing of some mandatory idea.

Look, what you reactionaries call "woke" and are so afraid of is the mere pointing out of structural racist shit. There is literally no legal force behind any woke policies. Governments everywhere are more conservative than ever and the supreme court is absolutely locked tight against these policies.

"going against the kinds of values we've collectively upheld for over 200 years." This is one of the most positively blinkered ass sentences. We had literal chattel slavery for nearly 100 years of that history and in that time displaced by force huge parts of the native population. Half the country didn't want to end slavery so badly that they went to war over it and after they lost they did almost everything they could get away with to continue to enforce racial segregation and hierarchy.

Look, I'm find if you want to hold the absurd belief that there isn't ant structural racism contemporaneously, although this is obviously wrong, but to suggest that the US has "always held" anything remotely like contemporary racial egalitarian ideals is absolutely wrong.
> And if someone has a right not to be harassed, when doing their job in an office, why doesn't a cop, when doing their job on the street?

Is it not dangerous enough to give officers pretty much unlimited authority, and expect the people around them to forfeit their first amendment right?

Police officers, being enforcers of the law, cannot reasonably be protected from people exercising their rights.
Not only the past, but all thoughts of the future, all interpretations about present events, all religions, all expressions in any language, even the seemingly separate self "you" take yourself to be... the very center of the narrative, are all only stories.

They are only conceptual representations made of thought.
We're mostly reliant on legacy fuel sources for industry, and there has been no organized effort to mass convert since Americans have turned the very existence of climate change into a political hot potato.

The markets are basically the collective id. they have to be bullish on oil because vast wealth is still being made from it. But I think most investors and traders know we have to move beyond fossil fuels for humanity to be an ongoing concern on earth. But in the vaccuum of lack of unified leadership, we're just a society of chicken littles yelling our heads off.

> the whole industry collapses in on itself, taking opinion pieces with it.

That's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Opinion pieces will be the last to go, after everything of value has been destroyed.

And honestly, not all opinion pieces are bad. Most are crap partisan hackery and outrage-bait, but some are very valuable (e.g. those unconnected with ideological bickering, those struggling to explain a point of view to hostile audiences, those "swimming against the tide," etc.).
I understand! It's just that I never had to download Discord for anything.

I agree it's difficult. I've had success showing keybase to people because of how barebones simple it is - but it's not a solution for everything of course.

On the other hand, we know that governments do this sort of thing all the time.
