Why is a belief in the common carrier model ridiculous?
SSO. When your service has accounts where authentication goes through SSO, showing a password field too those users doesn't make any sense. So they just ask for a username/email address, then either redirect through SSO (if applicable) or ask for a password if it's not an SSO account.
There are a lot of professions were google or Kagi isn't really that helpful for knowledge extraction so yes you are techy biased and totally wrong.
The article is about the add-on no longer being necessary. It will provide some additional mask management features, but you can now also use Firefox Relay without it.
Firefox Relay is one of the projects I work on, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask here - or email me at sntclb2au@mozmail.com :)
For taxiing they use GPS just as Google Maps for driving, but it is mostly for pilot convenience to look at a screen and taxi than to look outside at the taxiway markings which in some poor visibility conditions are hard to spot and without the GPS they would I guess require a Follow Me car.

Regarding the runway incursion scenarios, you need to pay attention to the lights on the taxiways, because runway entries are highly illuminated and visible even in really low visibility conditions. You just don't enter an active runway by mistake.

"Paper charts" as you call them, are physical charts of airpots maps akin to a city map. And as a pilot you are required to know how to read and use those maps. Just as with SID/STAR charts. Pilots are expected to know how to fly using only basic instruments (airspeed, altitude, attitude, vertical speed, compass, banking), and even with some of those not operational.

Long story short, GPS jamming at an airport is an inconvenience rather than something critical.
And then the project manager fires everyone and hires a team that gives them the answers they want. Even though most of the time the answers were wrong, but by that time the project manager is already neck deep with dependencies around the new team.

That's why we can't have nice things. You depend on having nice project managers, which is rarely the case.
I have seen exactly that - no iterations. Mostly it was customer waiting for the finished product and that was the first time they've seen it.

As an improvement, sometimes the project management *forced* the customer to make some checkpoints along the way, but they were a far cry from real iterations.
The quotation is so true. There was a "Python WTFs" posted recently which was fun but the thing is you could work with Python successfully for years without ever running into them. Contrast that with other languages where you need to learn the WTFs before you can stop writing buggy code.
There needs to be a stable narrative to shareholders, anything within your control should be managed.

Moving all software development into some kind of skunkworks part of the business with 0 expected returns and only ever discussing roll outs may be one way to do it. (Shrug)

Its why i think innovation is maybe a bit easier at a privately held or government owned org. They can look at the value more directly rather than through share value impact.

This response is just about how big a deal the shareholder perspectove is, if you can fly under that radar then you stillneed to convince everyone else that you can be trusted to deliver eventually.
So I got in a discussion with someone why we need to test post-deployment. I was like because your environments are different you want to eliminate a failure point even if you've tested at build. You can make everything as closely similar to each other as possible but you want to eliminate the failures of a bad configuration, schema or integration. I once was at a place where someone deployed something and just let produce malformed data because a schema wasn't applied to the transformation process of the workers. You know what would have solved that? Pos deploy testing. How does is this in an automated pipeline, you automate the test.
Shame the dream of multicast died...
I mean, considering Intel has had one of the least performant SMT designs in history, easily being trounced by both SPARC and POWER, you'd probably still get 70% of the chips' total performance with them disabled.

Now, when they disable Zen SMT, then there might be a decent talking point.
Nine Familial Exterminations
To be fair programmers are probably by far the most heavy users of search engines, and the cohort with the most need for niche search features. I'd expect to see a disproportionate representation in the usage statistics.
Just because someone said something ridiculous doesn’t mean that it’s automatically credible just because allegedly “put their career in jeopardy”. Who is even saying a career is in jeopardy besides the supposed martyr?

In a public forum, under my own name, i can. I no longer keep quiet. Greta Thurnberg kidnapped the Lindbergh baby. I know it’s such wild accusation, But I have so much to lose, over such a statement. Exposing myself to so much legal jeopardy, the conclusion is inescapable. It must be true. 20 year old Greta Thurnberg kidnapped Charles Lindbergh’s baby in 1930.

This is literally the same logic
And also, you're not allowed to see for yourself. You must take on faith that KF is pure evil, if you want to look and see if they do anything that should possibly be protected speech, then you're one of them and must be banned too.
You’ve proposed sociology

But seriously there are some therapeutic interventions that are closer to what you describe. I worked in them early in my career. They tend to be (or are exclusively?) aimed at pediatric populations with a high level of need. But we would work in the home 2-3x a week with the child, parents, siblings, etc. we would do community outings to evaluate and work in that context, do school observations and teacher collab, etc. do parent training, relational work between parent/sibling/child, connect parents to therapy if necessary, case management and other services like snap, etc. The child was the “identified patient” but we were working with the entire family unit

As said it was generally unavailable unless you displayed exceptional need (eg your school was kicking you out because your behavior was so bad and your parents were putting you in respite care/considering residential treatment). It cost a lot. not nearly as much as residential but enough that no commercial insurance would pay for it. So if you got to that behavior level you had to go through the nightmare evaluation process of proving your child’s behavior was bad enough to qualify as functionally disabled to qualify for Medicaid entitlement because they’re the only ones that would pay. Even if you were under the income threshold for Medicaid and didn’t need the entitlement you still had to prove need for the service.

So I guess this is a long way of saying that there are alternative modalities to deliver therapy. There’s actually a ton of them. But in practice you’ll likely never see them because no one wants to fund them outside of the most extreme circumstances and even then it’s often hard to get new approaches off the ground. New approaches start in academia and this kind of stuff for adults doesn’t get grant funding afaik. Why bother, it’ll never happen outside of the research because there is very little public money for adult mental health services in most, if not all, states. Children get way more and still barely get enough.

So for adults you get the same old outpatient 45 or 60 minute psychotherapy, individual or group, where the only variance is the theoretical approach the clinician uses (which is increasingly “eclectic” aka “I don’t really do anything evidence based and just make it up as I go” but that’s a whole different issue). Or if your issues worsen you get inpatient for 3 days. If they worsen beyond that I hope you have continued access to insurance and social supports because then you’ll get a longer term residential placement. otherwise it’s often a shockingly quick road to homelessness or prison.
Ask HN: How do you ensure timely payment from clients?
Have you, as a consultant, ever faced a situation where you completed a project on time with good quality, but the client refused payment? How do you ensure timely payment from clients?

Let's say that you are in New York while your client is in Berlin or Beijing. How will you ensure that he pays on time.
Just Linux, but I have a Windows machine too at the moment, so I'll make sure it runs on that as well.

I will let you know. It's extra motivation to me too! Someone else is interested!
Surprising article. The conclusion that ear protrusion (yes, that's a thing) has no genetic basis is of course not impossible, but seems unlikely. It would require another data set to establish it.
Ask HN: Are there any reasons why services like UserVoice shouldn't be used?
Hi there!
I'm developing an iOS app and I'm currently looking for ways to effectively collect feedback from potential users. I stumbled upon Proton's customer feedback management solution (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/) and was quite intrigued. I love the idea of having a centralized platform where users can submit and even vote on feedback.

However, I've noticed not all SAAS companies use transparent feedback collection sites like this. Is there any specific reason why? The only downside I could think of is the potential diversion of traffic from social networks.

On that note, does anyone here have experience with similar services? UserVoice seems great, but it's too pricey for my budget. Any recommendations for alternatives?
I'd say KiwiFarms is about as "dedicated to torture" as say the tabloid industry (producers and consumers) is. Seems like a real stretch of language, really.
I hope it has a screen somewhere that says "DAS MASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN".
Sure, pretty much everyone except extreme libertarians agrees that there are limits to private property rights that can be overriden in certain circumstances. However, if we (rightly) force businesses not to discriminate on the grounds of race, then it seems logically consistent to also allow businesses to refuse to associate with racists. I am not sure how someone could be ok with government intervention to prevent "whites only" restaurants and yet not ok with the government merely refraining from interfering with businesses that voluntarily choose not to associate with racists.

I think Meta's goals are becoming clearer: they want to make VR unbeliavable. Judging by this and by SAM, they want an AI system than can understand the world around itself in real time.
The question remains, despite the actor. Knowing what you know, what are your thoughts on the subject?

I know nothing of Kiwifarms, except it seems an unsavory place with questionable actors, and a tiny bit about LowEndTalk.
Reminds me of Ace Combat 7.

Does the US Air Force have a union? They won't be happy being replaced by drones.
Oh, no, you're right. That's classic MacOS development. It calls you for each event, and you can't block. It sucked.
Maybe it is just Zuck trying to atone himself for the damage he brought to the world. Open source AI (as in various ML/AI models developed and inferring in people's own devices) is a game changer with ramifications that are still hard to discern. E.g., what does "user content" mean anymore when you can interpolate and extrapolate from any publicly available bit of information to create infinite "near replicas"?

Rationally, in such an uncertain future where the technical, legal and social boundaries and guardrails are not even sketched yet what makes sense is to keep near the ring but not in it (no need to receive random punches given you are already the designated punchbag) and above all: keep fit.

>Most of the binaries have been implemented in C++ and some of them are also statically linked. Due to this, it was challenging to reverse-engineer these binaries and due to time constraints, we were unable to fully comprehend all of them. Some work was done to identify statically linked library functions, using the binary diffing technique. It is also probable that these programs were implemented using the State Machine Design Pattern, which makes heavy use of features of Object Oriented Programming such as multiple inheritance, virtual methods and generic types. This made the reverse-engineering process even more difficult due to the complex structures that are produced by the compiler when using these features.

California already has an issue with peak solar happening before peak demand. There's a rush to spin up all the natural gas power plants during peak demand. More solar doesn't really help with that, and is part of the problem because you can only spin up power plants so fast.

> the US and EU invade to protect democracy and freedom

No, the EU does not invade for any reason. People in the EU want to live in peace. The USA managed to convince Blair to ally with them to invade Iraq but that's it. Both Blair and Bush should be held responsible for their crimes.
Yes, well, that's the beautiful thing about common law - we still have a pretty clear understanding of what constitutes free speech, and it's largely invariant to whether the means of communication is through the internet or a medium that was more-familiar to the founders.
What do you mean “do Nazi stuff”?

Germany treads very lightly when it comes to limiting speech, even for Nazi things.

They have plenty of far-right racist groups that model themselves after the Nazis.

As long as you don’t display the swastika gratuitously (there is no blanket ban), you’re quite free to organize a racist political party and takes seats in the government.

Hell, there are still SS alumni groups in Germany. They arent banned.
Ghidra was somehow usable, I got several crashes with Hopper. One question for more expert people than me: does Hopper employ any telemetry inside its demo version? Some issues I discovered were fixed in two days and I did not report them.
Poland needs to upgrade rail systems, there were plans years ago, but it was costly and postponed. Unfortunately, the radio-stop works well and it's reliable.

Now with around 80% of military equipment to Ukraine is transported through Poland, those vulnerabilities are going to be exploited.

Russia already run remotely groups though encrypted messages and crypto payments:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/18/ukraine-weap...

The aim is to do some diversion or disinformation. There were many instances of producing fake news or misrepresent about some events. Please do your part and refrain from sharing those news about Poland without double checking sources.

Unfortunately, some "news" were picked by mainstream media, even though they could not find any evidence behind that (e.g. turning back non-white people on Poland-Ukrainian border by Polish officials).

RUP really isn't waterfall anymore. It's not as linear. It's it's own thing, a sort of hybrid model. The nineties already knew the issue with expecting to get everything right the first time.

The problem with it is it's too complicated. Your management with the mental capacity of a five year old just wouldn't understand it.
Huh? I’ve never seen scrum fully implemented. It’s always been pick and choose.

The most common defence from Certified Scrum Masters TM © is that you haven’t implemented it correctly/fully.

People don't seem to get sarcasm anymore.
Silly question: why can't an AI be written which can read through all these piles of psychology papers, looking for various kinds of characteristics of fraudulent or sloppy scholarship, then summarizing its findings, assigning suggested reputation scores to various papers and authors?
The best results I have ever seen have been projects that people on the bottom did themselves, because they needed it without the people on the top ever knowing about it.

The worst results I have ever seen have been projects where the people on the bottom stopped caring because the people on the top tried to make them ignore the laws of nature.

I think the problem is that people think “a lack of political debate and extreme views” is a healthy sign of democracy.

It’s actually the opposite. Plenty of authoritarian regimes look awfully peaceful because the only acceptable views are the government approved ones.

Id take political strife any day over forced “political harmony”. Far better to “air the dirty laundry” than pretend it doesn’t exist.
No, it's me, sarcasm.
As someone who learn about those two in late 00's when they both still were and Rails was hot.

I believe it was because python prioritized terseness and at the same time readability, while ruby prioritized cleverness often it was harder to understand someone else's code or even your own after a while.

That was at least the reason I avoided ruby, it felt like a descendent of perl.

ECrew Development Program
Yup. Every single organisation I’ve worked at just paid lip service to the whole “you need to be involved in the process” observation.

Unfortunately in my career I’ve only ever seen execs recede further and further away, hiring more and more PMs to replace them in that task. The self aggrandisement is getting worse and worse. They go away for retreat camps, and strategy meet-ups etc and pat themselves on the back about doing Very Important Work for weeks after each event

Here it’s a class thing. They see themselves aligned with the capitalist owners more than the “factory workers” (the devs)
It's far from innocent. But they also talk about some things that others aggressively try scrubbing from the internet, which shouldn't be scrubbed from the internet. Cesspits suck, but if a cesspit is the last place you can talk about, say, the criminal indictments of a powerful influencer or moderator, then we have bigger problem than that the place stinks.
> Most of Google's problems in B2B reflect that the organization has little concept of customer service, in the sense of serving customers. It's not the technology.

This, exactly. Google is fantastic at research, great at development. It's terrible at product. Or, specifically, all the bits of product that aren't R&D. MapReduce, Tensorflow and Kubernetes are all examples of technical successes that Google has spawned. None is a product. You can't buy them, buy support, or, you know, actually talk to someone if something goes wrong.

That's why Google cloud has failed so far. It's not the tech; big G can go toe to toe with Amazon and MS on that. It's that enterprises want contracts and support and relationship managers and all that stuff. That just doesn't seem to be in Google's DNA. Unless they can adress that, they're not going to win with big org customers.

They might win the startups - where the customers are themselves techies who are OK with self supporting, looking up Stackoverflow, asking ChatGPT, etc. But unless they can address the people angle, I don't see Vertex gaining meaningful traction against Amazon or OpenAI/MS.

Get the work done, have excellent communication skills (planning, reliability, accountability), and finding good remote/TC work shouldn't be much of an issue (even in this climate).

The personal computer was a fad. The internet was a fad. Bitcoin was a fad. AI is a fad. Its going to take more than 6 months to materialize. Hang in there.
I hadn't really used it recently but I'm honestly surprised that they went that long without requiring authentication. If you know a bit about mitigation of various abuse patterns it's kinda crazy that they managed to not needing to require it until now.

Through I hope they have a way for registered people to invite someone to join a meeting without a login (through with a bunch of limitations, like them being responsible for the person joining).

For example so that in case of a remote job interview the company can give them to the interviewee.
This is obvious. So of course most people will never do it.
Would you call that "general purpose" still? If the code needs to be so special to leverage the benefits of that design?
HN is moderated, but I cannot imagine many opinions that really would be outright banned or suppressed. It has strong requirements to the form, but not necessarily the content of the message itself. That is in essence not the topic people complain about, otherwise they probably wouldn't post.

I am a free speech absolutist though, I tend to like the term too because I believe its intended derisiveness is mostly impotent. Overall I believe trying to enforce hate speech laws is fundamentally flawed. I think people should be free to express acceptance as they should be able to express rejections.
Is it blazingly fast, though?
