Full Stack Engineer specializing in Javascript with more than 7 years of experience.
I've worked in digital agencies creating products and MVPs from scratch primarily for US-based startups and big companies in LATAM.
Since buildings products and solving problems is what I love, for the next step in my career I am looking to join a startup and be part of that journey. Let's talk!
Wow, I feel old. I implemented Pegasus mail way back in 1993 or 1994, had forgotten about it since.
Yeah, each OS version is much better a year after release than at release. If they had a two year release cycle, you could spend most of your time on a stable version of the OS as long as you weren't installing the new major version right away. With a one year cycle, you're upgrading to the new buggy thing shortly after the previous one got to a decent state.

Unfortunately as an iOS developer just not upgrading isn't an option - Xcode drops support for the previous version of macOS a few months after the release, and submitting to the app store requires using recent versions of Xcode. You can lag at most about a year behind.
It shouldn't be illegal to bypass the security of your own property. On the other hand, it shouldn't be illegal either for manufacturers to make security features that are impossible to bypass.
Pretty sure refusing to work when given the option is itself not considered "good behavior." It's one of the ways they coerce inmates into working those $0.12/h jobs.
It's these subtle things that don't get a lot of attention because markets are typically efficient and fill the short comings until they don't. But we now have a global crisis occurring because of the War against Ukraine and the Russian desire to prevent the export of grains to poorer countries across the world causing near starvation in certain countries. If you take into account any other issues like crop failures etc, it could definitely spell disaster and famine across a large portion of the world.

Perhaps those in power got their hands on those sunglasses that fringe church was distributing and put them on!
Sometimes the mods remove the automatic "flamewar" penalty. Sometimes the add manual penalties.

My guess is that they are triying to keep in the front page only the last 1 or 2 articles that has an important update and enought discusion.

You can send them an email asking for clarification.

(I don't expect they have hard rules about this, only some general principles and hopefuly good judgement calls.)
You seem to have read the article, so it’s odd you didn’t do a search:

“Simmons signed on. Later, Crystal Lake Farms and Tyson Foods Inc. did, too.”

Isaac Newton was also involved in "fighting counterfeiters."

Although the post was intended to be a sinecure, Newton took it seriously. By the time of his appointment the currency had been seriously weakened by an increase in clipping and counterfeiting during the Nine Years' War to the extent that it had been decided to recall and replace all hammered silver coinage in circulation. The exercise came close to disaster due to fraud and mismanagement, but was salvaged by Newton's personal intervention. Newton's chemical and mathematical knowledge proved of great use in carrying out this Great Recoinage of 1696, a process that was completed in about two years. Newton was subsequently given the post of Master of the Mint in 1699, a post worth between £1,200 and £1,500 per annum.

The LXD project had over 300 contributors over the years which while not up to par with insanely large projects like Kubernetes or Linux is still pretty respectable.

So achieving similar level of contributions to a fork would already be pretty nice. It's hard to predict the community reception of the fork though and whether that will lead to more contributions than has been seen in the past when the project was backed by Canonical or if there being two active codebases will result in a reduced set of contributors to both.
I'm a big proponent of having sanity checks that values are populated properly, because all it takes is some misalignment between the backend and frontend on the API definition to break some parameters (name mismatch, added in one not the other, etc.). When I work with latitude and longitude, I typically add a test location/customer/etc. at Null Island so that I (and QA) have a very easy time debugging this particular issue. It's come in handy a few separate times!
Great I think you made a good choice by interfacing directly to PRs. I'd like to see if I'm able to get my code coverage to 100% with this bot.
That's variance, not intentional.
Sure, though that highlights why someone would be interested in unlocking it (even without updates going forward). Personally I think I'd want mission-critical sw to be as current as possible, I can see someone arguing they should be able to run what's already sitting there on the computer in their car.
In the opposite, Tesla sounds more like the type of company that would sue you if you claim autopilot brought you into a crash.

Since they are technically right, as autopilot disengages before.

I like this a lot and it’s well worth reading over.

For a lot of programming tasks, it’s best to consider these kind of lists not as falsehoods but as edge cases or assumptions that should be made explicit.

Handling every “falsehood” gracefully yields a combinatoric explosion in the complexity of your data model. Sometimes it’s the right or ethical thing to do it anyway, but other times it’s by far easiest to document the assumption and move on.
Yes that’s true. I’m not making the argument that “wages have no bottom”. As another poster has noted, the wage paid in this case is above the local minimum. But as the US participates in global trade, solutions that are extremely uncompetitive like those that rely on relatively higher costs of US unskilled labor, are bound to not be chosen. Forcing the decision makers to use sub-optimal higher cost solutions ultimately makes them uncompetitive and increases the risk of failure. I haven’t seen any logic to justify that.
But from the paper, it sounds like this happens only during training. Some trick about constantly re-injecting the system prompt during chat conversations.

But during inference, there's no trick. The system message remains once at the top.
It's necessary for sure, but we want to let junior devs choose to do the more interesting work.

Even if you could, the problem would come when you wanted to establish a data connection with the remote end. Assuming "except for DNS traffic" actually means "except for packets on the well-known port for DNS" then you are going to be restricted to sending packets with destination port 53. This means that for comms to work, the remote end is going to have to be able to receive packets on port 53. Some kinds of network setups may allow this -- all of this stuff ends up being hideously dependent on the detail -- but many won't.
It remains to be seen whether that’s a benefit. This tool replaces experience junior engineers have needed to become better developers. Its future value is dependent strongly on the assumption that AI tools like this will evolve quickly enough to make using them more valuable than other experience.

After all, if it doesn’t keep pace, the two-tier system I mentioned in my other comment will definitively be such that shops using these tools will not be as good as shops with a more traditional engineer skill development path.
Awesome! Enjoyed the post. Keep up the good work as long as it makes you happy. :)
I wanted to say thank you for using actual Open Source licenses. It's gotten to where I treat any recent "Launch HN" or "Show HN" containing "open source" in the title as "well, I wonder which crazy license this project is using"
Fastmail has an easy and fast tool to transfer your mail from Gmail to Fastmail. Happy customer here.

No reports of Fastmail-sent emails getting dropped like I heard one time about Proton-sent emails (I think I saw that in a comment in HN, and only one anecdotal report, so who knows if it's true or not).

Fastmail also does contacts/calendars/file-hosting (which includes the ability to do simple photo sharing and websites).

I've used their support when I got confused about something, and they were very helpful.
You're not serious, right? How about sandwich artists? Custodial artists? Con artists?

Ah, right, storage performance bound.

The Etherium blockchain is roughly 1122.97 GB. Cool, how long would it take me to write all that data with an RPI4? Let's pick the ~20th fastest SSD listed, just so we ensure we don't have a ringer in the data: https://pibenchmarks.com/benchmark/53760/

Awesome, let's do some division. Let's pick the DD speed:
1122.97GB/174 MB/s = 1.79273627 hours. Hm, that can't be it.

The RPI4 could write the entire Eth blockchain in under 2 hours. Hmm. Well, maybe there's lots of data being added in a torrent at the end? That could be a real problem?

https://ycharts.com/indicators/ethereum_chain_full_sync_data...

Looks like it's adding about 3GB a day. A rip roaring rate of 34.7222222 kBps.

Ok with the data in hand, this looks like a pathetic system and it doesn't look like a technical achievement. It looks like an embarrassment to me. Could you check my numbers?

It is used for Crostini. Specifically, ChromeOS uses corssvm to run a virtual machine in which it runs LXD and then creates containers inside of that VM through it.

Google has sent the occasional bugfix, usually for pretty complex issues (hard to hit race and the like) but weren't involved in project maintenance or even very actively talking to us. We'd usually bump into the Crostini folks at conferences once or twice a year and just talk over dinner.
If you don't have a rental agreement in place, then the costs for travel is largely from flight travel. And many places locally are easy to fly for just several hundred $. If you have more of a budget, you can travel overseas in relatively cheap economic countries. It can be done if you plan accordingly within a budget.

Also helps if you are solo, and can cook. And I also think it's a great energy recharger and helped me when I was burnt out.

About 100% of the livestock land where I come from is capable of crops except for some edge cases. Not sure where you're getting the 'land used for animal meat is "utterly unusable for crops"' talking point. Could you provide some sources on that?

Every third or fourth plot is growing crops already. It seems to be a matter of choice and usually livestock farms here are based in heritage.
It's like you're utterly unaware of the massive corruption.

US telecom companies have been getting a lot of US taxpayer money for (literally?) nothing in return, which was of course an absolute accident by whoever set this whole deal up. Absolutely an accident by whoever made this happen.

I adore that you believe that arguments matter at all.
>that's got to be really bad news for someone in vehicle security at Tesla.

It says in the article: "Generally, these exploits are shared with Tesla, and it helps the automaker secure its systems."

So it's only a matter of time till Tesla patches it.
Under the Law on Personal Names, first names are picked from a list of approved names (18,000 female names and 15,000 male names as of 1 January 2016). One can also apply to Ankestyrelsen for approval of new names, e.g. common first names from other countries. Names cannot have surname character, and must follow Danish orthography (e.g. Cammmilla with three m's is not allowed).
Except history hasn't really played out that way. Less serious but Grand Theft Auto had a sex game added to one of their titles that wasn't supposed to be accessible by gamers. People figured out how to unlock it using a modified save file. This ended up in all sorts of legal liability to the company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame)
We’re not talking about enterprise software here. I think people can understand the concept of paying for a seat heater and the like without a team of lawyers.
So.... people stopped farming and moved to cities and you're excited they are not starving, even claiming they're not starving because they moved to city.

Who's left doing the farming?

Farming life is better than city life.
Finally! My VP of engineering keeps saying I'm not making enough github commits, this is the solution I've been waiting for!

This is sarcasm, but I did have a VP who tracked commit frequency for a while. And people heard about it if they weren't commiting enough.
Cheaper to manufacture, yes, but the cost of the hardware is still included in what you pay for the software-locked car. You've paid for the hardware and you own it, even if it's software-locked. At that point, you're just being asked to fork over $1k or whatever the additional charge is for what essentially amounts to an "on/off" switch.

Edit: Hell, to make it sound even more stupid, you're being asked to fork over $1k or whatever the additional charge is in order to change a bit from 0 to 1.
I would also add that those sorts of subscriptions shouldn't have a lock-in period, at least not more than a month.

And auto-renew should require explicit opt-in. For most subscriptions I have, automatic renewal is desirable, but invariably I forget to cancel trials or one month subs of things I just wanted to test.
Using Workflows as Actors to implement a customer loyalty program
>Some people don't want to pay for heated seats. Turns out the manufacturer found it cheaper to just include the hardware anyway rather than differentiate on the production line.

If it's that cheap then it should just always be included, period. Otherwise it's just transparent greed. Why charge your customers extra for something that costs you literally nothing extra? Why not do the same for everything? The radio volume knob is software-locked and it's either at 100% or off, unless you pay extra to unlock it. The entertainment system will play ads continuously while the car is running unless you pay extra for the no-ads version. When you unlock the doors they will stay locked for five more minutes unless you pay extra for the Instant Unlock feature.
Oh, that’s cool, I assumed I’d have to uninstall the profile in that case so I never gave it a try.

Thanks again!
The world wouldn't go down without Google. They clearly have an advantage in many areas, but there are plenty of options for business app hosting, email, and even search that are roughly equivalent to "without an iPhone I'd just use Android". If you didn't have Google, you'd still have Apple's services, and you'd just use Office365 and Bing or Fastmail or, hell, Zoho. Do you want to? Maybe not. Could you? Sure you could. The world would continue spinning.

The world won't go down without AWS and Azure. There are any number of hosting services that can provide similar services, even if it would require relearning, and in a worst case, people would just go back to racking servers and hiring bare-metal admins. A totally functional cloud Internet could certainly exist with Linode and Akamai, with a little Hetzner in the mix.

No businesses would go under without Meta. The world would be a better place without Meta. Like, what's the worst case scenario here? People can't log into Facebook, or use their Oculus? Oh no! What are we going to do?!

There would probably be some serious weirdness if Microsoft went under. Likely more so than Apple. But, they're at a 2.5T market cap. Perhaps they're just undervalued - it's just not cool to defend Microsoft - rather than this being a situation with Apple being overvalued.
While I agree with that image problem (I couldn't come up with any that didn't have it, and at least this one is descriptive)... I feel pretty confident claiming that "hackers" carries clearer and more consistent negative connotations to the general public (definitely not HN though).
They're pointing out that while danish law can determine what names are applicable to some specific purposes, they aren't actually an authority on what names are valid. If you weren't being a dick about it this would actually make your original point stronger, as now your business domain logic is the intersection of danish law with actual names, a more complex case than either alone and requiring judgement and tradeoffs.
It certainty depends on how the network is doing the packet scanning and the other measures in place. If the security measures include a allow list of DNS servers, then there's little that can be done to bypass it.
> What I’m vehemently opposed to is ongoing fees for things that don’t have ongoing costs.

IMO, the real issue is the price. There is pretty broad and well established equivalency between OPex and CAPex. The problem is that car companies are trying to charge OPex as if there was a 1 year depreciation schedule, when cars typically last for decades.

I think that if BMW charged 1/240th[1] the cost to buy the option in order to rent it per month, very few people would complain. Especially if that price were locked in for the life of the car.

The road worthiness of your modded car is a question between you and the DMV, though. Once you start adding a fifth wheel to your Lada, it's not the manufacturer's responsibility.

(Tesla's software killing people is also not their responsibility, because you're 'supposed' to use it in a way that nobody actually uses it.)

I feel for you. You might enjoy a book from a small farmer called "Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal" by Joel Salatin. He talks about the absurdity of ag regulatory capture and it's effects on small farmers. It's an inspiring call to arms.
I want to add agreement to this, but to be more precise: people should own the things they buy and artificial (software ) means of locking people out of features shouldn't be allowed.
Which is exactly the sort of thing people who have no sense of accountability say. It’s not that I’m Friedrich Frankenstein or John Hammond, it’s that you troglodytes wouldn’t know a good idea if it bit you. You’re just jealous.

I was there when the foundations for the enshitification of the internet were laid. And there were a bunch of people complaining about the people complaining about taking a beat to decide how this will play out. Well, we were so eager to get to the future and here we are.

Lots of naive and goal obsessed people who thought if you build it, they will come. If you chop the last two minutes off of that movie, it is a very dark and different story. Only the miracle at the end saves it.
Interesting, that change would take some time to materialize. In the meantime it might be best to adopt both? I don't see it as a complete substitute.

Right now you could have some junior devs picking up work that Sweep can't handle in order to grow and learn, and eventually still become senior devs. Having a small team also helps with mentorship (more focused attention).
Yes - you haven't seen the full scope until you confront unit system conversions as alluded to in my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36988497).

There should also be conversions to/from SI|CGS and "natural units" (particle physics) and "gravitational units" (general relativity - G=c=1).

The "input/output" can be a bit more subtle, too - since you may need to tell the converter the abstract physical kind/"meta type" of the thing like "energy" or "momentum" or "charge" to fully define what might happen (and in some ideal world get back an expression with powers of G's and c's in there symbolically rather than only numerically). Some of this shows up in an unresolved issue on that Nim library I mentioned[1]: https://github.com/SciNim/Unchained/issues/8

EDIT: { One reason to preserve a symbolic capability is that some constants have resisted precise measurement for centuries - G is still only known to about 5 decimals [2] - and you don't want round-trip unit conversion to add such errors to the calculation. }

It depends on what assets you were expecting to buy. If you already owned land, did not need daycare, locked into low property taxes by law, did not need to spend for higher education/certifications/etc, yes.

If you were expecting to buy a home with certain qualities in a certain location, then you might have experienced a loss (in terms of material expectations of quality of life) worth tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars during the last few years.
I trust local communities more than state officials any day, yes. Nothing is perfect but if you legitimately think the government is functioning well at this point, I don't expect to convince you so yeah. To each his own.

So if you're using unlocked a version of FSD that has been recalled and don't get an OTA update then any and all faults that may be traced back to FSD even if it was clear that this is a bug in the software (e.g. the reason for the recall) the vehicle owner has full liability?

No, my mattress is foam. My guess for you is the pillow isolates noise around the phone so it's easier to hear and the added RF attenuation by bed/mattress material makes it send at higher txpower.
