So if you choose not to do the thing that is designed to make the process simple then the process is exactly the same as it is for me on just about any other site/system when I log in on an untrusted device. I don't really see it as unnecessarily convoluted, but even if it was, you inflicted that on yourself did you not?

I care a lot about privacy and for me personally, logging in to discord on my own phone in order to log in on seamlessly on an untrusted device seems less bad than logging in to some arbitrary system using my actual creds. The latter combines any threat from discord with threats from password sniffing either while I'm getting creds to the device or on the device itself.
Ask HN: Command-Line Completion and Discoverability?
Is there a utility that if I just type in

lin

That it will show

link -s <TARGET> <SYMLINK>

and potential 5 other commands that are close to it (newlined)?

So like, it'll show the common use of that command (or perhaps the synopsis of the man pages but that already seems overkill).
Digital notes are not for me, they seem to put up a mental barrier and have tradeoffs that I am not thrilled about. The epaper/e-ink ones have the best battery life, best feeling when writing but the delay when the display changes just halts my thinkin. When changing documents to reference especially. Also the process of changing implements (e.g. from pen to highlighter) in tablets in general just annoys me.

They are awesome for pdf annotation though, If they ever get to be a bit more affordable I would enjoy having one of these just for that purpose (maybe even in color! probably in about 10 yrs).
Urgency isn’t a always just a ploy.

My background is consulting and earlier-stage startups in the UK which may mean we’re in a different environment to what you’re used to, but the teams are often lean, and sometimes strained by the time we’re out to hire.

Sourcing and screening often starts a few weeks/months before but generally we move quite quickly through technical to offer stages - I think its healthy and fair for both parties to keep expect these final stages around 1-2 weeks.

Interviewing takes quite a bit of time and energy from the tech team and can impact team health, delivery, and ultimately bottom line - where our salaries come from.

If we’re in the fortunate position to have a final candidate (or two - three), theres going to be an exploding offer because we need to get back to work, and we need to let other candidates know to move on.

As a candidate its very fair to line up your interviews with a few companies and tell them you would like to make a decision by a particular date. If they cant accommodate you or extend an offer with a deadline prior to that, its on them. In my last job hunt no company turned down this request and two adjusted their processes to accommodate it.

> It makes me sad that we don't appreciate the 10+ years that Hashicorp put into open-source.

I do appreciate it, in the sense that I am saddened they are throwing away that value and their good-will.

There are almost certainly enough commercial interests in terraform to join together on a community fork. The nature of terraform providers in particular means that the community fork would almost certainly then become a primary target for providers.

I suspect nowadays many people using the project don't even realize that the Jenkins CI system was actually a fork of another popular system at the time named Hudson. It was forked due to claims being made by Oracle legal, and even after they straightened things out and made Hudson an open project (with assignments to Eclipse foundation) the damage was done and Hudson died off.
Could be perhaps generation difference. Many things today considered to be sexism used to be normal fun a few decades ago and perhaps older people can slip into the old behavior if not careful.

I'm personally not worried about working in a mixed team, no matter how small the office is. I just keep things professional ... and that's it.

Having said that, conditions in a submarine might be different, and office experience might not be applicable.
"they've been working on the new Dragon Age game for something like eight years at this point"

Also bad management. We also learn that usually teams aren't actually working for such periods as they get dragged around. Cyberpunk was only actively developed for a few years it turned out, despite the claim being they had been working on it that entire time.
One day, I hope we look at this period in history and marvel at the fact that our knowledge of current affairs was largely left to chance (or worse yet, algorithms that are designed not to inform but to sell) -- whatever happens to catch our eye as we scroll through our various timelines. With all the data, technology and query capabilities we have at hand, I'm surprised I can't set up preferences like this:

drop sports
drop celebrity news unless death or court case
drop crime unless within state
prioritise presidential election
prioritise rocket launches
prioritise aviation accidents

Yes. Even 15-20 years ago, parts of Iran / Pakistan ( Baluchistan) were very tricky, and while on the road I met people who got kidnapped and eventually ransomed. Afghanistan was of course not a recommended path either.

I think in the 70s people went through Afghanistan, the Khyber pass and then Pakistan/Peshawar, which is a very bad idea these days.

Maybe I’ll see Khyber pass one day, I don’t know. The Hunza valley in northern Pakistan was incredible enough. Stay safe first !

Edit : this assumes you’re an obvious tourist. If you’re a local I guess things are very different
That has two legs connected to a body. Theirs has the two legs connected to each other and doesn’t have a body.

It’s a bit nitpicky to call that really different, though. The axle connecting the two legs can be considered a very much shrunken body.

I also suspect that, just like this one, that ancient toy has only one actuator.

Kind of tangential, but who are these people who are so comfortable with disassembling a high level language binary, reading assembly, and then making statements about branch prediction and other such low level esoterica? I've only ever meet people like that maybe two or thee times in my career, and yet it seems like every other blog post I read in certain language circles everyone is some kind of ASM and Reverse Engineering expert.

That was beautifully put. Thank you for that story.

I have also used analog sketchbooks and notebooks for a long time. Recent years it has been mostly text in Apple Notes. But I think my mental health requires me to start using paper notebooks and doodle more again.

I also love the tactile and aesthetic experience of paper and pen/pencil.

I read The Artist’s Way a long time ago that suggests you should start each day with writing two pages in flow (morning pages). I have some friends who are very hooked on this and I’m about to try that as well. It is really something with expressing thoughts regularly into words in physical space.
At the time, I actually used and liked DESQview better. I wonder what things would have been like had Quaterdeck sold itself to M/S ? I remember M/S trying to buy the company, but they refused to be sold. I think they folded when Windows 3 (or 95) came out, forgot which version finally killed them.

At home, I had moved on to Coherent somewhat before Windows 3, then eventually Linux.
Ooh, the video of a cow doing circles around a chicken until puking? Those really were the golden ages of the internet.

I wouldn't equate it with a person pirating a DVD to watch in his own home. It's more like someone pirating a DVD, burning a bunch of copies of it and selling those. Big difference.
32-bit NaN is encoded:
s111 1111 1xxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

Where both the sign (s) and the x bits can be anything and it will still be treated as a NaN.

There are lots of ways to encode colour, but there would be too much red with RGBA, and ARGB could be almost any opaque colour, but the red channel has to be at least 0x80, which is still too much red.

So NaNs are too red to encode nvidia green.
While many people have the impression the Rust type system slows them down while prototyping, I think it is a huge time saver when working on existing code, so I'm not sure why you think Rust isn't as maintainable.
There are innumerable bad ways to try to make money. I suspect this license change will turn out to be one of them.

I really want more Bluetooth support in flashlights. Not only would you always know where they were, and their state of charge, but if you leave your bag in a corner somewhere at a location, it could ping you if it gets moved or opened but isn't within a few feet.

BLE mesh means you could link them in groups for lighting large areas that don't have power yet.

You'd never have a mode you didn't like, just turn of the dang flash mode or map it to a long press. The dim mode could be as dim as you wanted it, down to sub milliamp for when you're working in a dark theater and need to read your notes.

You could set it to turn on when unplugged for an emergency light, glow all the time faintly to find it....

I wonder if there's a market for boutique handmade one off lights... Making a few a year might be fun but I sure wouldn't want to start my own production scale anything.

Although these would really be at their best if they were mass produced and cheap enough to have several.
This was exactly what I thought when I first started hearing about this, and is even more what I think now after hearing statements from China.

China's statements are sleazy in my opinion. The way they word things makes it sound like Japan is irresponsibly doing whatever they like without oversight, and the world should be doing something about it.
Vaultwarden does not implement the secrets manager. It does implement the password manager.

> this can be avoided with ext4 by doing frequent backups

lol. Nothing is stopping you from doing manual backups using ZFS. One should never rely on just one backup anyways, if the data is critical. For me, snapshots are a great way to protect from "oh, I accidentally deleted this folder", which ext4 doesn't have. Yes, you can use replication to sync these snapshots somewhere else, but nothing is stopping you from continuing to do manual backups on a file level. It's just a file system, after all. So it doesn't really make sense as a justification as to why you are hesitant to use ZFS. In fact, it's one of the reasons I liked it so much: While you can do all these cool things with it, you don't have to. It doesn't pressure you to use these features. If you're ready, they're there, but until then, it's just a file system, and a very robust one at that.
In the case of a universe of finite size, this analogy explains how there can be such a thing as a finite space without there being boundaries provided the space is (slightly) curved.

So this has less to do with an infinitely sized universe and more with the question of “What exists beyond the edge of the universe if it would be finite in size?”
The ad-based business model on the Internet is dying – and it's getting worse
Time is relative. Events near heavy objects appear slower to observers not near heavy objects. An observer in a similar gravitational field as the event (which is implied if the observer and event are in the same place) will see the events at "normal" speed.

The separation of event and observer can be mostly in space when observing a relatively close object falling into a black hole, but can also be in both space and time when looking far into the universe (and thus back in time).
As far as I can tell computers are still cheaper than they were in the 90s. And that's in absolute numbers, not even accounting for inflation.

Took me a while to realize that this was not only a game which you interacted with by typing commands, but also a game which you actually had to type in. I was aware of the type-in programs published in 80s computer magazines, I actually typed a few of them into my Atari 800 back in the day, but didn't know there were also books containing type-in programs.
Interesting, from the screen shots it seems windows 1.0 had what looks like a burger menu on the top left, and a task at (or status bar) on the bottom. Went full circle 30+ years later.
It's interesting that just today The Guardian is running a story praising a new women only living space in London[1], a city where 81% of homeless, rough sleepers are men[2].

This chimes with the view that gender segregation is only seen as a bad thing when it's male only spaces.

So why not dump this very safe water on Japanese soil? There's lakes and reservoirs a short drive away. A few tankers a day over 30 years to clear up 1.25 million tons is cheap to losing 600M of fish exports per year to PRC and barely impact local enviroment on time scales involved. Maybe inspire some new Godzilla movies. Oh wait, it's because Japanese domestic politics wouldn't allow it. So gov would rather internationalize the issue.

Japanese domestic politics at it's worst.

That's a completely mental way of interperting this post and this world. I meant the physicist are doing it for funsies not the Lord almighty.

The demo pictures have this sort of "uncanny valley" effect for me. I wonder if it happens when I don't know that the pictures are AI-generated.
> Windows applications had to run within the first 640K of RAM. In reality, around that time most corporate machines were 80286 machines and as I recall a high specced machine usually had 2MB RAM.

There was a protected mode version of Windows 2.0 that would run on 386s and allow larger memory access. I believe it also ran on 286s, but protected mode was crippled quite a bit on those chips.
If I understood you correctly, then we’re exactly on the same page. That is, web components being a standalone thing that you render “as is” on the server. Their point is to extend interaction on the client and not to be a templating language on the server.

The author mentioned Lit not having a stable SSR story (a small, fast library to leverage web components).

My suspicion here is that some do too much within their components that they want to render on the server.

There’s two possible solutions already:

1. Don’t generate all your html inside the component (in js), but instead use the component to enclose markup that you render on the server.

2. Decouple html rendering (lit-html) from your component. If your component calls a function that spits out html, so can your server (if it runs JS).
Tesla's value plunged nearly $200B since mid-July
I don't think I'd call "branch prediction" as "low level esoterica". It is a basic fact about how CPUs are implemented since many decades now. I learnt these things in my university coursework. Any module on CPU or computer system architecture is going to teach you all this stuff. But I'm sure you could learn these things from books on this topic too.
This is pretty insane! I mentally run the universe backwards in time to relate to current very early JWST discoveries and it's so easy to think "similar to now but earlier in terms of star evolution etc", but this hammers in how we're truly looking back at something very alien and weird when we see its recent early age photos. JWST even peers farther back than 1.5 billion years since Big Bang.
>Both are a travesty fwiw, but habitat destruction is easily 10x worse when it comes to endangering species.

So you're saying that if we care about the animals, we should reduce our impact on the environment? For example, pick a diet that causes less greenhouse gas emissions? Ideally one that also results in significantly less harm to water, land and biodiversity? Makes sense.
Last 50+ years of history especially, but pretty much as much history as you can find for the region.
The fact of un-readability isn’t necessarily implied by the statement being replied to. `map` and `filter` are names for common operations on lists, not less performant alternatives other things. If there’s a more performant alternative to either operation, give it a name and express it in a function. That’s what functions are for, no?
There's also the number actually in use - the UK has four nuclear submarines, one of which is always at sea, so can only ever really launch 1/4 of it's armament. The rest will be sitting somewhere when the big day comes, never to be used.
I still miss the Windows Classic theme. It was simplistic enough while being streamlined enough for most workflows, now I have to hover icons to find specific windows in an application group or deal with the internet-connected Search/Run box.

It wasn't perfect, but it worked better for me, at the very least.
Question for the masses - is “Clean Code” still something worth reading nowadays? I have so far only heard good things about it (but that might also just be survivorship bias, I would assume books that aren’t good wouldn’t really be talked about as much), but have yet to grab a copy
Its also possible that the entire night sky lights up one day as the light from many big bangs and their universes beyond the edge of our “universe” finally reaches us

so we just don’t know. we have no evidence of that but all theories would simply change with the new information and that would become standard physics.
"Just" -- well, this is the proposition: "Hi, you barely know me, but can I doxxx you to this website you don't know and then show you my ID so you're on the hook for a Federal verification thing?"

It requires a modicum of trust on the part of the person I'm asking. Yes, I could slip $5 to a bum at the train station to do it, if I felt like giving him my phone. Perhaps I'm not creative enough to think of people. But yes, I really know that few people who are physically nearby. Basically, all of my friends and family are remote. I have an active social life but it's all online.

I asked a Notary and they flat said no. Likewise with the offices I visit; I mean, that's just not their job, and it's a liability problem. My employer refused to provide a person to do this. It's the employer's obligation to get this done. They're absolutely passing the buck here, and way too far. Of course they won't be the one to get in trouble if this fails, they'll just fire us all.
They are not similar at all. Tesla P/E is 67, Nvidia's P/E is 244.
This feels semi-normal to me... just have the curiosity to ask "why?" and the bias-to-action to move to "I'm going to find out".

You encounter far far more dead-ends than anyone ever says, and every unsolved mystery is a mild nerd snipe, an open case, that years from now you'll see someone else explain something you realise it answers that question from years prior.

For me, the hard bit is not over-indexing on this... you learn things, but biasing too much for them is a sure fire way to over-engineer or increase complexity to the point where something is now worse for you knowing something. But once in a while that tiny thing you learned years before is a 20% savings across the board with associated performance increase and everyone wondering how on Earth you could possibly have made those jumps.

Also related... incidents. "Why" and "I'm going to find out" is the best way these things don't recur in future. A high degree of observation and understanding is a happy engineer life as it can improve what can often be the most stressful parts of the work (on-call, etc).

That XKCD comic about everyone learning something for the first time factors too... there is stuff you know that others do not, share it.
Hey, thanks! I will add this to my list of book to read seems interesting.
Wizardry 8 (2001) probably had the last remnant of a type-in interface for the communication with NPCs - you could type your lines directly and they reacted to keywords. You could ask for things you've heard somewhere and learn something new.

The idea isn't dead though - since GPT-2 appeared, people have been trying to use chatbots for role-playing games again. With GPT-4 it's almost possible as it can mostly keep track of the inventory and more or less stick to the rules.
I've had this half-baked thought for a while that the state of our world is based off of facts, values, and the various arguments/conclusions that emanate from them... and therefore the most newsworthy events are the events that have the "loudest" impact by propagating furthest through those argument graphs...
I believe GP is using it in the literal etymologically correct way in the vein of Rich Hickey: https://youtu.be/LKtk3HCgTa8?feature=shared

Pedantically, Common Lisp being a Lisp-2 vs a Lisp-1 arguably makes it a duplex vs a simplex…
The phrase "just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang time, time ran five times slower than it does today, 13.8 billion years later" seems to make about three self-referential loops around itself. What does 1.5 billion years mean if time ran slower? Is it slow years or fast years, and from what frame of reference would you even tell the difference? What does "slow" even mean, isn't speed measured in relation to time passing?

If you're comparing two physically separated frames of reference it makes sense to talk about "this many seconds here corresponds to that many seconds over there". But when you're talking about the speed of time for the entire universe, how do you form such a ratio?
Look at you up there on that high horse, good for you!
