So 100M+ Threads accounts created with 50M+ active users still sticking around on Threads after the media hype and fanfare? Compare that to the rest of the other so-called 'alternatives' other than Twitter / X that is a much better result especially in less than a month and the closest to a proper alternative to Twitter / X.

This is even without launching in the EU, so as soon as Threads is available in the EU, they can get another 100M+ easily anyway.

This is what I call 'early days'. We'll see what happens in 6 months or a year whether if people want to continue using Threads rather than initial sign ups. Retention is what matters.
I think it's because you can get system default information that could be used to fingerprint the device. One example seems to be MDM data.
Corporate shill. He doesn't owe the company anything more than they are contractually obligated.
They have not, although I expect it is simply a matter of expanding their products over the years, technical debt and they probably have not generated enough revenue to grow the team.

They are now working on the most important feature in my opinion for the life of Affinity products. They are finally adding built in scripting support that will also enable development of 3rd part extensions. Hopefully this will bring new life and excitement to Affinity.

Definitely they are not. I couldn't find any other open source routing software that has support for following very popular features on enterprise level:
- MPLS
- VXLAN
- IS-IS

This is must have to be considered by any ISP/enterprise where networking is their core business.

vOS has all three. More or less buggy but they are here.

On the linked page, it’s telling me that “If I had invested $1000, I’d have $X” now. Maybe I’m missing something (on mobile)—but it might be beneficial to list when I hypothetically invested that 1k. Last month? Last year?

I recommended the Why Doctors Hate Their Computers to my GP doc. The next time I saw her and asked her about it, she was PISSED. She said she spends about as much time working on EMR info as she does seeing patients, and it really irritated her to know how many docs just don't pay any attention to what's in the EMR.

She's a great doc.
I'm not talking about "game engine speed". It's a chat program for orgs, so the absolute baseline is switching chats and loading messages and media fast - or at least not sluggishly slow.

At least for me, HN is not one of the "old communities" I used to follow; they all predate it.

Also, HN's custom forum software feels significantly different than phpbb and similar forums: no quote blocks, no different fonts and colors, no embedded images, etc.
I think in the trades, the intermediate level was called "journeyman".
Even when the market was good, I never got jobs by applying for them. It was always either recruiters cold-calling, or through my network. Maybe focus there instead of grinding out hundreds of applications.
If everything is cost-benefit right down to atoms and energy, damn any principles, then what's the point?

Ask HN: What network equipment to buy to avoid backdoors?
I want to buy network equipment for my home, but I don't want there to be existing backdoors or backdoors added later. I am concerned a company like Eero for example could be persuaded by some three letter agency to add a backdoor that can be used to snoop my network traffic. Are there good open source options?

I'm looking at https://teklager.se/ for routers. But I can't find any good options for wireless access points?

> 40 year old Unix software (K&R C,IPC/network sockets) would work on a modern linux with trivial or zero changes, and it doesn't look like it's gonna change soon.

Is that true? Will K&R C (that is, C with old-style function declarations, not prototypes) compile on a modern compiler? I thought that gcc, for instance, no longer supported that declaration style. (And if you just have to add a flag to the makefile, I will agree that it's a trivial change.)

On the sockets, I agree with you.
Hold on, Apple is restricting access to UserDefaults? Is there an app out there that DOESN'T use UserDefaults to save various app settings? Data saved there is already scoped to the app itself, not to other apps or system information
So a guy who just so happens to specialize in old games, and just happens to have an exhibition going on specifically about Tron, who happens to have a friend who owns an arcade and a network of people who know how to evaluate and restore arcade cabinets, just happens to be visiting people in a place (it sounds like) he doesn’t go on a daily basis, hears an offhand comment from his young niece who happened to be riding a bike a few blocks away, happens to find a perfect condition game cabinet that’s been sitting out in the weather for who knows how long, that was put there by a random old lady who was apparently able to drag the thing to the curb but doesn’t want to discuss anything about it.

Look, I’m willing to accept that rare things can happen, but this is pushing the bounds of belief. There are so many coincidences and this story needs to at least be viewed with some skepticism toward the details.

It’s not unreasonable to wonder if the goal here is to generate a viral story, which seems to be working at some level.

Occam’s razor would suggest that they obtained the game “somehow” and the provider just doesn’t want any publicity.

P.S. And if they decide to sell it, the decent thing to do would be to at least checkin with the old lady and offer some of the proceeds.

Not trying to be an arse, but the guy spent a lot more time talking about himself and other unrelated stuff than about how S3 works. And I don't mind a good article on RAMAC, but that seems... out of place in a discussion about peta-scale storage. I got the strong impression he doesn't really know the finer details of how S3 really works. And that's probably fine for what he's doing, there is plenty of room for application coding, firefighting, and problem management without having to get into the finer details of how it all works.

People who are generally ambivalent on TOR are the ones that we need to convert. I believe the message needs to be that anonymity is not only desirable but mandatory as well, especially because of the rise of platforms that literally track each and every possible metric about your daily life and habits. Besides, even if someone says that TOR is used for illegal purposes, we all need to remind them that legality is distinct from morality and is always defined by those currently in power.

I wonder what the unintended consequences of this would be. If congressmen make less from trading stocks, where will they instead make money, or what will they do instead of make money?

Full disclosure: I think that the idea of ‘insider trading’ is incoherent. In every trade, both parties believe that they are getting more than they are giving. In every stock trade the seller thinks that he is selling something for more than it is worth to him, and the buyer thinks that he is buying it for less than it is worth to him.

What do you mean by "It just bothers me that people get notified whenever I'd do anything on it"?

You don't have to notify anyone when you update anything, it's just a setting. Most people don't.

The "fake" ones are the people trying to become linkedin-fluencers, I agree I'd never want to do that. But setting up your profile is basically a copy paste of your resume, and leads to an in-flow of recruiters you can always go back to when it's the right time.

I can't really believe I'm preaching for linkedin because I barely spend any time on it, but it's a tool, and when I've decided to move companies, it's made life far easier than it would've been manually applying to companies. That's without making public posts or sharing public updates to my role

When I didn't have money CF was the "nice restaurant" I ate at once or twice a year. Even though I have money now people who criticize restaurants like CF always make me laugh.
Lack of long term retention of knowledge? What do you mean by that?
After reading this article, it kind of feels like CF is a modern version of Howard Johnson's. Big menu, lots of dessert, more of the food is cooked in house, safe place for picky eaters. It may suffer the same fate as Hojo too in that preparing for that many different entrees and making that much food in house ensures a high cost of waste, which is in part what I suspect did HoJo in over time.

What market are you in? Are you only going for remote?
You have very narrow definition of what software router/service router is. Firewall and two interfaces and VPN server is not the best scenario :)
All those systems (pfSense etc) are for private/soho use.
Big networks need stuff that is not avaiable on mentioned platforms like i.e BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detecion), MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching), VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN), IS-IS routing protocol or Segment Routing.

If anyone knows other Opensource routing software that support all of this - let me know. To my knowledge vOS is the only one.
> which is worse: not getting cash into the economy or having to try to claw back fraudulent dispersals

The latter by far. “Getting cash into the economy” is the solution to a demand shortfall recession. There wasn’t a demand shortfall. There was nothing to stimulate because everything was closed. We all saw the results in unprecedented inflation acceleration. Bad policy has real consequences.
> Why are small businesses like that running their own servers?

Because the more managed a service, the less of a commodity it tends to be and leaves you at the mercy of the service provider wrt price changes, future availability, general quality.
Arcade trash is amazing. One day driving around my neighborhood in a box truck I spotted a arcade cabinet at the curb. As I'm getting close I see the side and its Terminator 2! I stop the truck, see a guy in the back yard, flag him down and ask "Is this trash and does it work?" he says "Yeah it works but the guns don't vibrate anymore and I need the room in my garage" So into the back of the truck it went. I was lucky to A. find it and B. also happen to be driving a truck.

Guns were easily fixed. The vibrator is a solenoid with a rubber tipped plunger mounted to an L shaped bracket made from stamped sheet metal. The plunger strikes the short length of the L and the bend takes the stress. Over the years the constant slapping broke the plate at the bend. I welded the plates back on adding two gusset strips on each side to brace them and the guns were back to vibrating. Still have it but hasn't been powered on in ages.

It's good for Tesla customers because it means NACS charging infrastructure will be more widely available from more companies. Tesla will have reason (and economic motive) to add more Supercharger sites and make them larger than they'd otherwise be.

It's good for Tesla because it costs them a lot less to have everyone else shift to NACS than for them to redeploy ten thousand Supercharger stalls with CCS1.

Honestly the only losers in the continental shift to NACS are those with significant existing CCS1 investments, like Electrify America. And I don't see why they deserve any sympathy from the likes of Ford and GM. The poor reliability of many CCS1 networks has been an albatross around the neck of Tesla's competitors.

Are you a developer for a Fortune 100?

The only thing that matters in large + long-lived engineering organizations is organizational buy-in, and that's only remotely possible with LTS, because anything with shorter upgrade cycles takes too much time to get too many other people to buy in before a new version is released (and the old version is no longer supported).

There's a reason why you see a ton of stuff like VBA in the military, and it's not because VBA is usually the best tool for the job by any technical metric. It's because the people who chose it didn't need to align 100+ other stakeholders in order to pick a different tool; they were able to start implementing what they needed immediately.
Very cool! A real time machine.
lone star ticks and dog ticks are relatively easy to spot as they are "big" in the grand scheme of things, but they are still pretty tiny. deer ticks, the primary carrier of lyme disease, are notoriously small and very hard to spot. as I understand, the really tiny ones (often referred to as "seed ticks" because they are the size of tiny seeds) are very unlikely to actually carry lyme disease because they will not have attached to a carrier yet (they aren't born with lyme disease), but I don't have a reference handy for that and I don't want any tick attached to me, big or small, in any case.
"Tor is only used for illegal purposes" is as valid as saying "only criminals use cash so they can buy things without a digital trail." I pay cash -- and refuse to use affinity/shopper cards because I would rather pay for my privacy which is worth more to me than 4 cents/gallon off on gasoline.
I totally understand your sentiment and am not against your thoughts and approach. However, isn't this like Mark Zuckerberg replying to the question of tracking, “We want to show better and targeted ads.” (or something in that line).
I was hired at L5 at Meta in 2011, they’ve done a pretty good job at keeping the bar high but it’s mathematically impossible for it to stay at 2011 levels on multi order of magnitude growth.

Back when I was even bothering in Jan/Feb it was me and 20 other L8s interviewing for the same L6 opening. It’s a coin toss at that point.

Price discovery is not functioning at the moment, there are plenty of theories why.

But high-end tech hiring is a slot machine and will be until monetary policy lets the bond market stabilize a bit.

>Have you ever heard of someone refer to traffic stops as "girl problems"? This conversation is ridiculous. One verse in the song is about a traffic stop-- that specific lyric is a play on the line, not all the lyrics. Jay-Z got rich on sexism and now he's getting richer on anti-sexism.

>people think it's actually about a dog is one of the most impressive PR accomplishments in music. Bravo, Jay-Z's PR team in the #metoo era.

>Do you think he had millions of dollars of incentive to lie about this?

You asserted over and over that the song was about women, and that Jay-Z is now lying

You weren't saying whether it was or wasn't misogynistic or sexist. You were asserting that it was about women and Jay-Z is now lying and saying it wasn't about women as some sort of PR push related to #metoo. These are two different things. The lyrics of the song makes it crystal clear what is being talked about. Each verse is talking about a very specific thing and the entire verse is focused on that one thing. That isn't PR or gossip or media narrative. That is simple reading comprehension.

Generally we attribute a greater sense of civil government functionality to the people who actually fought to create it for us.
