Ever hear of The New Deal?

It was necessary because many, many US citizens hit hard by The Great Depression figured out in that time how to live without depending on regular (or any) work.

Tent cities; hunting; scavenging; farming; begging; stealing; mutual aid networks; etc.

It wasn't the best life, but for many it was found to be preferable to the factories or the docks.

To even consider returning to living a life dependent on a wage, Uncle Sam needed to offer them a new deal.

This one is interesting because it seems harmless, if not even helpful (Monitoring DNS errors). What am I missing here?

"I’m sure you get business proposals all the time, so I’ll get straight to the point. I hope what I’m proposing is a little different and might actually interest you. I like Hover Zoom+ as a great alternative to it’s bigger brother Hover Zoom that lost its glamour over the last couple of months.

We're conducting a DNS error research and we’re interested in small amounts of anonymous data that you might be able to provide via your Chrome extension. Our research has been going on for years and Google has never had the slightest problem with it.

- Compatible with Google’s strict policies

- No personal user data

- No ads, no malware

The data we’re interested in are basically just DNS errors:

- NXD – Non Existent Domain - the domain that a user entered that resulted in a DNS error.

- A time stamp – when it happened.

- GEO – where it happened (USA, UK, RU etc.).

- A unique randomly generated user ID (can be hashed, not traceable back to the user). Please, don’t confuse this with the user IP address.

And that’s all. You can either use our script or collect the data on your own and send it to us via an FTP server, API etc. There’s a lot of different ways we can do this. We pay on a monthly basis. The payments depend on user GEOs, but it would be in thousands of dollars per year.

Is this worth at least a brief discussion? Looking forward to hearing from you.

A while back I reached out to you regarding a DNS error research our company conducts. Hover Zoom+ would be an ideal medium for our research. In return, this could become a solid new revenue stream for you.

Our method has been going on for years and we’ve never had the slightest problem with Google. We pay regularly on a monthly basis. For you it would be in tens of thousands of dollars per year - the amount depends on your users base and data quality.

If you’re concerned about including third party scripts, there’s still a lot of ways we can make this work.

Please let me know if this is worth a brief discussion to you."

I do as well and I want BUT I dislike two key facts:

- the development and use of services useful at small scale is essentially ceased in the last decades, meaning it's harder to keep up. We still have emails (even if current antispam solutions makes hard to have personal mailserver able to communicate with anyone) but feeds are more and more useless since most sites or do not offer them or publish just titles and ads and so on;

- older services got abandoned and modern ones try to mimic the giants ones, being needlessly complex and heavy for personal use.

Let's talk clear:

- we do not have modern MUAs, comfy enough. Yes, we have notmuch-emacs, Mu4E, but a proper setup demands few hundred SLoC at least, not something as simple a state: this is the root dir to downloads all my messages, keep them on server or delete, few filters and auto-refile rules, remote credentials and stop;

- we do not have file sharing stuff the easy way, the least obscene is WebDAV that's supported by most OSes, but most people do not know it, so we just need web-apps to mimick a file manager Google Drive alike to makes others able to reach our files;

- we do lost most of the desktop computing model, with people on limited and limiting mobile devices, who happen to be integrated only with cloud crap;

- IPv6 is not that widespread in the form a a global per any device, and personal domains are not much used by most.

Technically ANYTHING needed is there, but since most people do not know it and some bi&powerful want anybody on their servers we essentially have very little margin of maneuvers.

Modern telephony is old classic VoIP, but most carriers do not offer few settings to connect any softphone or a personal PBX (Yate/Asterisk) to them, mails are still there, but for most mails means webmails, some big vendors have even buggy IMAP (GMail) or no IMAP/POP at all (TutaNota) or try to push their new favorite protocol (Proton Mail/JMAP). The value of having messages managed on personal iron, locally indexed, having a domain name with various subdomains and so on is unknown to most. Cars nowadays have wifi and mobile connections but nothing to be directly connected to their formal owner, anything goes through the OEM server, who happen to be the substantial owner.

In the 2030 "you'll own nothing" is a THREAT TO THE HUMANITY but most seems to like it and few like the profitable outcome of that. That's the real issue.

Inventors and their businesses would instead be incentivized to wrap their inventions up in trade secret and never disclose anything at all.

In the past there was perhaps more benefit from this exchange: manufacturers disclosed special knowledge of their products in patents and the world at large gained knowledge that would otherwise remain secret. But this theoretical exchange breaks down if the secret is easily reverse engineered or otherwise unlikely to remain secret. Reverse engineering all manner of products is much easier now than it was 100 years ago but the duration of patents has remained fixed at 20 years. I doubt that it would take more than a year to reverse engineer these patented Zelda features (or how to make a new small molecule drug, for that matter) in the absence of disclosure through patents.

There's still an argument for patents to incentivize investment in R&D. We still want people to invest the time and effort in developing and proving new small molecule drugs even though modern instrumentation and synthesis planning makes it easy to copy a drug. But the "disclosure is better than secrets" argument in favor of patents has been weakening every year as secret-keeping becomes harder.

Yeah there might be one person discussing this in social media that legitimately values privacy.

If you value privacy, you aren't using Windows. If you value privacy, you should realize that most people only care about it to the extent of it just working, and it only does so for most people running major Windows and macOS desktop operating systems If you value privacy, then you know how to read Microsoft's privacy policy to know what your data is going towards on Windows. And if you value privacy, you can respect why Intel is doing this and also read their privacy policy as to how they use the data.

People are fear-mongering that Intel is taking usage data as if Intel has some interest in using the data maliciously. None of these major companies increasing and gathering telemetry have used the data in a truly malicious manner, unless you twist the wording for specific situations where bad-actors got caught doing bad-actor activity and have to comply with legal requests for information.

This is only beneficial for the audience Intel is targeting.
> They still go over the various techniques used, their consequences, etc., so the processor chosen as an example is unimportant.

They also include various techniques not used anymore, without mentioning that’s the case. I did a search for “branch predictor static forward not taken site:.edu” and found many documents which discuss that particular BTFN technique. In modern CPUs the predictor works before fetch or decode.

> university courses don't cover that

Here’s a link to one: https://course.ece.cmu.edu/~ece740/f15/lib/exe/fetch.php?med... According to the first slide, the document was written in fall 2015. It has dedicated slides discussing particular implementations of branch predictors in Pentium Pro, Alpha 21264, Pentium M, and Pentium 4.

The processors being covered were released between 1995 and 2003. At the time that course was written, people were already programming Skylake and Excavator, and Zen 1 was just around the corner.

I’m not saying the professor failed to deliver. Quite the opposite, information about old CPUs is better than pure theory without any practically useful stuff. Still, I’m pretty sure they would be happy to included slides about contemporary CPUs, if only that information was public.
Sounds logical, as they keep filling homepage with videos that one has already watched. As a final touch, Youtube should add unremovable "Shorts" block on homepage.

> a big problem w/ static languages is that the developers of these languages are not willing to compromise type-safety for simplicity: there are very few 80/20 type systems out there that just say "Well, that's too hard to deal w/ you can bail out to unsafe code" when the implementation gets too crazy.

Very few? Many languages allow you to cast references to other types at will.

C# does one better with its ‘dynamic’ keyword, which makes it much clearer where you are using runtime method lookup. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/advanced-top...:

“The dynamic type is a static type, but an object of type dynamic bypasses static type checking. In most cases, it functions like it has type object. The compiler assumes a dynamic element supports any operation”

I think Swift copied that. https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-pr...:

“When you mark a member declaration with the dynamic modifier, access to that member is always dynamically dispatched using the Objective-C runtime.“

Google's "quick results" which are supposed to help searchers before we navigate away, have been plagued with misinformation and threat actors attempting to game the results. A lot of it was ganked from Wikipedia directly, fraught with peril in the usual ways.

If Google limits these answers to Gov-based bodies, then more searchers will navigate away to the pages they searched for. Even if these are low-quality results, at least the provenance of answers will be apparent.
I empathize deeply with this perspective. The individuals I most cherish interacting with are those who entertain unconventional topics, indulging in initial exploration before forming judgments. With them, I can freely brainstorm and bounce off "out there" ideas. They don't just echo my thoughts, but they also refrain from instantly dismissing concepts deemed controversial. Ideally, they'd subtly express their genuine beliefs, even if skeptical, without overt dismissal.

No I'm not into FE.
Some day we'll have a decent chat that doesn't give you problems you don't need. I have been building a Discord/Slack/Mumble alternative since 2020, which is something that I wanted to do since around ~2008 but I didn't have the skills back then. The problem is that I made a few mistakes as I started by writing the client in Go + GTK3, and at some point, it was very buggy (especially in Windows) and hard to debug.

Then I decided to rewrite it in Go + Sciter, but when it was becoming usable[1], as it had voice channels, custom avatars, custom themes[2], and layout modification, embedded images, custom user roles, file upload, and Markdown support, Sciter's creator decided to end support of its TIScript version, which was a JS alternative for controlling the UI. This made all the code that I wrote basically useless as it would have to be rewritten in JS to be compatible with the new version (really bad timing for me to write it in Sciter at that time).

After trying the JS version, it felt even buggier than the TIScript version, and at this time I got sick (stomach related) and had to stop developing it for about a year. During this time, while thinking about it, I realized that all the time that I tried to save by avoiding C++ made me waste even more time. I have tried many options: PyQt wasted too much memory and was too hard to deal with async stuff through QThreads. Rust felt like being married as all it does is whine and you can't get rid of it. Nim had no good GUI option. Go's Qt lib took way too long to do anything as my computer is slow. But now I'm doing what I should have done from the beginning.

A bit more than a month ago, I started to write it in C++ with Qt. Currently writing the media embed part[3]. I think by the end of the year, I should have the basics of a modern chat done, as customizing the UI takes way longer. There is no funding, just me and the dream of a native full-featured customizable (colors, size, space, position) bs-less chat.

Well, money's changing hands, and they're not specifying any clear intent of goodwill.

Therefore, there is likely some business interest at best, or anti-user behavior at worst.

It's not hard to write a script that ostensibly does one thing but very sneakily carries information about another thing. For example, write a bad 'hashing' function? Piece of cake.

Always follow the gradient of ATP.
They want to know what domains people are mistyping or are interested in so they can more efficiently scam them, I’d wager.
There's also a huge difference between a "live set" and a "DJ set". I'm surprised people here on HN don't realize this.

A "live set" typically involves the performer playing synths and programming the drums live. There are no record players, no pre-recorded tracks, everything is played live on the fly. Example: https://youtu.be/cVFzblT5VPE?t=4177 (a daytime one so you can see the gear)

With a "DJ set", the DJ is playing two or more tracks, beatmatching them and mixing them together, transitioning from one track to the next. This still takes a lot of skill. If you see two or more turntables or media players and a mixer in the middle, that's a DJ set. Often the DJ brings their tracks to the venue loaded on a USB stick and plugs it into the media player. Just because there's a USB stick present doesn't mean the DJ set was pre-recorded. Example: https://youtu.be/Ubyd98XV5C0?t=1018
Interesting that users must opt out every time, that seems like something a service could exploit. Imagine a service that has a rotating TOS that updates every week/month with some meaningless change and in each transactional and marketing email they include 'we've updated our TOS' as part of their duty to inform users. People would quickly become blind to that or think it didn't apply to them since it was also in the last email they got.

Our best feature is that the website will detect if you're on the same network as your machine and if so, offer "local" links instead of remotely proxied ones. That way non-technical users dont need anything fancy or to be aware of how NAT traversal works. On top of that, the "local" urls still get valid HTTPS certs for free, so non-technical users dont get any scary browser warnings.

I've had interviews with startups that will use a quick interview turn around time as a selling feature to close candidates.

I've also interviewed at Two Sigma where I was flown in onsite and by the last interview they had already reviewed most of my feedback and told me that they were going to extend an offer. I got the sense that if I wasn't using a 3rd party recruiter with rules they might have handed me an offer before I left offsite. But it was great having the chance to talk to my would-be manager knowing I would likely have the offer to discuss my role while I was still onsite.

i used mysql for almost 20 years, since 3.23 and in the last 4 years i am exclusively using postgres (because of the hype and i thought i am missing out), and its not my cup of tea.

i just love mysql's hackable storage engine (particularly the new lsmt engines), and i hate toast so much, not to mention the permission system which is so convoluted and it is so easy to shoot yourself in the foot. and of course it does not play nice with low iops ebs.

its too expensive to migrate from pg now, but i would avoid it in the future

i usually dont use super sophisticated sql, so mysql is actually pretty good for me considering i can tune the knobs on some tables pretty well.
