Just another example of enshittification, or whatever you want to call it - capitalism placing growth and greed above the health and privacy of the individual.

It works because it's manipulative and most people don't have the context to understand. Some may think they now have to sign up or they'll lose something.

"Preying on the uninformed and less tech literate" works, sure, the same way basically every other scam works, by pressuring people to do things they normally wouldn't.
I don't really understand who this post is addressed to. The people that decide to do this just want more money. they won't stop because of some rant by a random stranger on the internet. The programmers who implement this have to do what their boss tells them to, or change jobs, and this isn't something worth changing jobs over. Everybody else already knows that it's a thing, knows why it happens and can't do anything about it.
I don't see a problem with new compounds/techniques/technology in general being forced to comprehensively prove it's utility and safety before being put out in the world.
OK, so what does that concretely mean as a policy? "Not judge", fine - does that mean no arrests, no involuntary holds, not touching them? We used to take the view that we could confine people for things that weren't their fault when there was an overwhelming public interest (e.g. people with infectious diseases).
> We’ll also ask whether the creator has consent from owners of the works that are used to produce the AI-generated portion of their project.

That's even dumber than I expected. So some trivial use of Resnet that starts with image-net weights wouldn't be allowed? And literally no generative AI? This is what happens when companies decide they need to push activist "morals" onto their users.
Inkscape has been a godsend
> I think it's more that the compile was unconstrained, so no floorplanning or handholding synthesis anything

i mean they don't say anything about how long they let it run for - constraints are to narrow the search space for human-time-scale benefit right? i'm sure if i let vivado run (i'm not an intel person) until heat death of the universe it would also give me some fantastic fmax numbers too.

> Too bad they don't seem to have released their code, though.

and they never will. i don't know what it is about this kind of research (or how you can even get away with this) but it's almost unheard of for the commercial groups to release their code/rtl/tcl scripts. i have emailed around before and i just continually get shined on - "oh we're planning to release but it has to go through legal". and this is from my capacity as a phd student ie not direct competitor. and it's funny to me because if you're selling these boards/part/fpgas aren't you strongly incenvitized to throw as much sample code over the fence as possible so that people buy your hardware in order to use your code?
Just to add clarification: 柔術 is the martial art, while 呪術 means sorcery.

The first kanji in 呪術 means curse, so while "sorcery" could be a cool name for a software project in English, a Japanese speaker would probably have apprehensions about using 呪術.

> If a drug user actually manages to get clean...

Ah, I was assuming the drug addict (or at least a signification portion) wouldn't be getting clean. A large part of Portugal's policy is focused on safe drug use (decriminalization, clean needles, drug dispensaries, etc.).

> "What you did not do is build an REST API"

The API here is HTML + HTTP. That's it. A website is, as far as the API is concerned, just the content.

> "I want to get the data and compute some statistics on it. For that I need to know the structure of the data in advance, need to know which URLs to retrieve, which operations to perform, which data structures to expect"

Not needing to know the structure to automate usage of the content is not something that was exactly "promised" by REST. REST/HATEOAS is only about having standardized formats to display the hypermedia, make it discoverable within constraints (a browser for HTTP/HTML, a database program for OData, etc).

Even with websites, I might need previous knowledge to know where to navigate to, which URLs to access. When I come to Hacker News, I always click on "threads" at the top to see if anyone replied me. This is often discovered thanks to hypermedia (in this case a link). But in my case someone had to point it out to me (this is analogous to documentation).

> "So what am I still not getting?"

My assumption, but since you asked: I think you're expecting the original REST paper and hypermedia to be something that it isn't, and to apply to things it isn't supposed to. You're trying to apply it to arbitrary APIs that are supposed to be consumed exclusively by custom software. This doesn't really match its model or intent.

HTTP/HTML content is consumed by browsers. OData content is consumed by Excel, Access etc. AtomPub content is consumed by publishing/blogging/etc software. GData is a fun one: it is (was?) used as a foundation of traditional API clients.

Another assumption, but perhaps you're expecting hypermedia to replace something else? You're mentioning "WSDL, OpenAPI and friends". Well, those are perfectly fine, and they're orthogonal to REST and hypermedia. GData is a good example: Google APIs used GData as a foundation, but actually needed extra documentation and extra code on top to drive users to the correct endpoints.

The "discoverable" advantage of hypermedia APIs does not mean that applications should be intelligent and discover how to use the API just by accessing it. This is possible, don't get me wrong, but there will be massive constraints: either you build HTML/CSS/JS to allow arbitrary apps, or you have a simple tables app that consumes ODAta. If you want a fancy iPhone app, you'll have to start hardcoding a lot of assumptions into the app.

The H of HATEOAS means hypermedia, a term created by Ted Nelson in the 60s. It's related to hypertext, which is the HT of HTML and HTTP. HATEOAS/REST is about creating hypermedia APIs, including HTML/HTTP. This means rich context, like Wikipedia, a database, or a Website.

Not everything matches this. The app I work on doesn't. And that's completely fine.
Might be too easy to disconnect compared to a regular power cable.

Ok, I agree that disruption for the sake of disruption is distinct from disruption as a tactic towards some actual goal.

But also, MLK was part of a movement with a huge number of people, almost none of whom had his style. But the people who marched or sat at lunch counters or got beat up on bridges were still contributing something valuable in doing so even if they didn't write great letters from Birmingham jail or whatever.
> Not PP, but the onus is always on the person or group making the affirmative claim.

But they're both making an affirmative claim. One says that legalization is better and all these addicts are an error in execution. The other says that criminalization is better and all this widespread disrespect for the law and erosion of civil liberties and mass incarceration and cartel murder squads are an error in execution.

In general the burden should be on the party who wants make something illegal.
In addition, the policy in Portugal was to radically increase funding for community health and other programs as well as decriminalize drugs. I’m not sure that has been replicated in Oregon or San Francisco.
There are correlated changes in the brain.

I used to commute in a red sports car at midnight, and my direct path to the freeway and home was regularly blocked by a checkpoint. The officer started to instruct me on being checked, and I whined that I was tired, and he waved me by. Town was notorious for interfering with traffic with their checkpoints and speed enforcement. Sometimes checkpoints were disclosed on radio. Looking back it’s amazing they didn’t cite me for my confessed exhaustion. Also this was a long time ago so YMMV.
If I had to guess: there's likely nothing that special about their Django site for connecting animals to foster parents, and the extra time and potential security risks of of making it open source compared to the benefit it'd provide the open source community doesn't make sense.

Volunteer-run tech and IT for non-profits aren't exactly well known for the highest of standards of engineering. The likelihood of someone accidentally leaking AWS creds or other PII seems reasonably possible without well established engineering practices.

Alternatively, it may involve proprietary code for a software vendor they work with that they don't have the rights to redistribute.

And Oregon’s drug problems have not improved. Last year, the state experienced one of the sharpest rises in overdose deaths in the nation and had one of the highest percentages of adults with a substance-use disorder.

Hardly shocking. I would be interested in seeing data -- if it's available -- on how much that uptick is due to people with addictions moving to the state in hopes of reducing the odds of ending up in jail over their uncontrollable compulsion to imbibe.

But three years later, with rising overdoses and delays in treatment funding, even some of the measure’s supporters now believe that the policy needs to be changed.

Three years is not a lot of time to give this a chance to work, especially with delays in funding. If you aren't even really providing the programs you said you would, then declaring it a failure is a joke. You never gave it a real chance.

The new approach emphasizes reducing overdoses, stopping the spread of infectious disease, and providing drug users with the resources they need—counseling, housing, transportation—to stabilize their lives and gain control over their drug use.

Not enough emphasis on identifying the actual root cause of the drug use which may be infection. They are probably worried about things like spreading HIV by needle sharing, not "So, does this person have an undiagnosed infection for which their drug of choice is medical treatment?"

Also: Are they building substantial amounts of new affordable housing with good access to transit and essentials like nearby grocery stores? Without that, trying to help homeless people get housing is a joke. If the housing they need simply does not exist, no amount of acting like homeless people are merely badly behaved and need to try harder fixes fuck all.
The number of people dying from jumping off the empire state building is orders of magnitude less than the ones you quoted... that doesn't mean you have good odds of surviving the jump or that it's a good idea to build a jumping ramp.
This is so stupid. They're just going to change it back in two months.
Amazon isn't necessarily competing better (though they often are--even if im okay getting a slower delivery, not-Amazon vendor sites will do shit like require signature confirmation without the purchaser requesting it, which makes the package all but undeliverable to certain apartments), but they win on the guarantee that buying a product through Amazon isn't going to sign me up for an endless stream of marketing email.

Granted, Amazon has much less need for that endless stream of marketing email because they're already the de facto first choice shop. It's a lose-lose game if you're a conscious consumer and both want to support a non-Amazon monoculture for internet retail but also don't want to have to yet another drip feed of marketing email.

Ideally there'd be competition among email service providers to recognize the modern landscape of CAN-SPAM compliant but entirely unsolicited and unwanted email and provide user tools that aggressively bin non-transactional email and penalize senders that send 10 "transactional" emails for a single interaction ("here's your confirmation! here's a shipping update! here's another shipping update! are you satisfied with your purchase? leave a review!) as shadow marketing.

Either they're knowingly doing this for brand reinforcement reasons or are honestly clueless and don't recognize that a single email that links to a continuously-updated order status page is preferable. I figure mostly the former, but either way there are limited mechanisms to encourage vendors to make judicious use of email.
Interesting - I looked into your code a bit. I found your window aggregation library [1]. You may be interested in looking into the Rust implementation of some of the research work I've been a part of [2].

In Flink, I believe the reason they need to implement their own backpressure system is that they multiplex TCP connections. That is, they have multiple logical streams flowing through a single TCP connection. If that's the case, you need to do some work to 1) detect which logical stream is the one that's blocking, and 2) don't block because other logical streams may be able to use the active TCP connection.

Thinking it through, I think what Flink's approach buys is not necessarily better performance, but better just a manageable number of connections. That is, imagine you have a process P1 with operators A, B and C. And then P2 has D, E, F. Now imagine that this is a shuffle, where A, B and C are fully connected to D, E and F. In my old system, you would have 9 TCP connections. In Flink, you will have 1.

Of course. What else could they have?

Saudis don't fund half of Silicon Valley. Aramco is worth 2 trillion, apple alone is worth 3 trillion.

You rant about short termism, but don't seem to like doing research yourself.
Bronze was extremely common in Mesoamerica for household goods like needles and fishhooks. Copper was also common, but mainly for ceremonial and ornamental objects like bells.

As for wooden wheels being too fragile, you can build a perfectly good wheel without metal bands. It's simply going to be heavy and annoying if you're trying to run a wagon to Oregon.

Hey! I’m AJ, a seasoned software engineering leader with a robust background in developing and managing high-performing engineering teams as well as delivering longterm solutions. Some key highlights include:
* Orchestrating a plan at a Series B startup to expand the engineering department from 25 to over 80 employees as the company size doubled and two more rounds were raised totaling $143 million
* Ensuring that 50% of my 11 direct reports achieved promotions, while maintaining 0% turnover for two years (2021-2023)
* Championing greenfield project launches, contributing to an additional $60 million in revenue
* Won a global hackathon put on by the US State Department to help deter the use of illegal animal products and unethical farming practices during online shopping
Although I’m looking for the right, longterm fit, I’m open to contract or consulting work. I can do anything from coming in to fix a bunch of legacy Angular code to helping guide your engineering team go through hyperscale so your culture scales with it.
of course not, if it wanted to go somewhere, it would have to take action ;-)

More and more often, Safari offers to fill in an anonymized email address for me when I fill out a form.

I use monorepo approach all the time in my work, it works great for me, the disadvantages is when it comes working with others, a lot of my peers get confused working with it, it also isn’t the best for say granular access compared if you have everything in separate repos.
Hopefully, the fact that the system would create its own loop, and would rely on the accuracy and usefulness of that loop. If it served inaccurate info to users, they might be tricked into opening something they wouldn't have, at which point they would lose trust in the tool upon seeing the thing it's meant to protect them from.
It's on my list for sure. The hard requirement of running on K8s makes me sad in advance, though.

That’s why. And also because sometimes it just works. I’ve done some packet-level work recently and wanted to decode text. The tools I’ve used were some online converters, not iconv or base64. Because experimenting with their modes adds mental overhead even if I more or less can use them without man. Choosing from-to and pasting text into a textbox takes no brain capacity.

25+ years ago, when internet wasn’t very accessible, there were multiple simple windows apps to do small things like this. Now they are online, but open source and new apps world in general never figured out that users still need it - simple, discoverable, easy to use tools. I’m not gonna scroll through pages of magick options and (in case it just works based on .ext, which I also should re-figure out from the lack of such option) try to remember if there’s -i and -o required for input and output.
