>A Google spokesperson has confirmed that they're looking into the matter, and pointed to Chrome's Extensions Security FAQ that does not consider access to password fields a security problem as long as the relevant permissions are properly obtained.

This definitely feels like the wrong approach. I think they should be moving towards deprecation of this permission, and replacing it with what the extension actually needs.
This article is interesting in itself but I found a lot more by clicking the links in the left sidebar. The blog reminds me of the old web in the best possible ways, kudos to the author.
I have fond memories of 2MF 3.0 by Ciriaco García de Celis which I used to store an UC2 archive of a maximum of 2 megabyte on a single HD floppy. Booting a minimal DOS, the AUTOEXEC.BAT created a fast RAM disk D: where I extracted the UC2 contents in, a minimal windows 3.1 in d:\win - the last command was starting windows from the ram drive in the 8M machine.
I had to boot with this floppy on the library index computer as all the other text processing wordperfect 5.1 computers were taken by other students.
Windows write.exe was excellent as a wysywig wordprocessor.

The seriousness of this "drama" is hard to judge, really. On an "unserious" side all of this could be easily explained that adult nerds are compensating for their lack of drama in high school, because they were socially excluded and skipped this developmental part. OR, a more serious explanation would be they are going through growing pains of a new decentralized governance model and all of this "drama" is a process of ironing out communication issues, which is actually quite awesome for us, as a society. But the reality is somewhere in between or a mix of both.
Ah the good ol’ “I don’t have a response so I’m going to just throw mud into the conversational waters.” This has nothing to do with “is my country better than yours.” Someone asked a specific question about a specific dimension of comparison and I gave a specific example as to why they’re treated differently. It’s clear as day.

> I think we all should rather hang our heads in shame about where we managed to get the world to slip, forgetting the hard learned history lessons

If you think the world has “slipped” to some local minima exemplified by modern US behavior, you haven’t been paying attention to history at all.
I’ve haven’t tried the glove80 but suspect I won’t like it because it doesn’t do QWERTY and the columnar layout may not work for me.

However over the years I’ve purchased many ergo kbs: ergo dox, kinesis and variants, and I just could not get into any of those.

Until I got the UHK (Ultimate Hacking Keyboard) , and I absolutely love it. It retains the QWERTY + regular (staggered?) layout, has split/angled halves, and thumb clusters, all of which can be programmed with an excellent software.
Theory that David Tolnay added precompiled serde macros to start a RFC process to add precompiled macros to cargo. Originally the conspiracy was to move Rust towards Bazel/Buck.

Part of this theory was that he sabotaged thePHD dev's talk in order to force community to rely on his crates `syn`, `quote`, etc. Rather than using Rust to maintain guarantees.

I mean who doesn't like working (mostly) unpaid for open source community in order to maintain Clout™?
> What does "Deploy on Kubernetes" mean?

Kubernetes is an orchestrator that you control via an API, there is no file system to put things on and you don't run anything directly. You tell Kubernetes where to get your software from (as a container image) and how it should run it, and Kubernetes will then make sure the specified number of instances of your software is running with the settings you specify, on a suitable machine, with any storage volumes and other resources you request, or tell you it can't.

> But how do I deploy "on Kubernetes"?

Depends on the way it's set up. With vanilla Kubernetes you put container images in a registry that Kubernetes can access, write a manifest YAML and send that to the Kubernetes API (e.g. using the kubectl utility).

> Where do I get a button "Rent a Kubernetes"?

GCP, AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, ... though they're labelled slightly differently.
Very interesting, thank you! Do have more resources on that topic (not just the genx aesthetic but more in general)?
To summarize the post, people quickly latched onto the idea that David was trying to sabbotage introspection to protect his empire of Rust packages which are critical to the use of macros (syn, proc-macro2) and heavy users (serde).

Significant stock ownership is pretty public through 8k forms. The SEC doesn't require reporting every trade of a few million dollars because it generally doesn't make a difference anyway. And you CAN access time and sales data in most brokerage platforms to see the size of many of those trades. The big exception there being those done on dark pools.

And while perhaps you could argue against dark pools, most would agree that illiquidity is a bad thing in markets. Dark pools do a good job of addressing this allowing for large positions to be massaged into a market they'd otherwise disrupt fairly heavily.

Drama is unavoidable. People are imperfect. They have different opinions and priorities. Miscommunication happens. People unintentionally cause grave offenses. Sometimes they fail to convey the intended tone over text messages. Sometimes a single malicious person throws a huge wrench into a delicate mechanism.

There's really no way around it, any big project is going to have some amount of drama. Good projects find a way to manage it and make corrections to keep the project on track, but conflict and dysfunction can't be entirely avoided.
Too many people in the hospital, sounds like a very serious crisis that needs urgently beuig adressed.

Re marriage: Until 2006 people in France could marry aged 16, in Germany you still can if courts agree (so, pratically you propably cannot), and could as a woman with the ok of the parents until the 1970s. Just to pick two examples. Now, obviously most people do not marry that young anymore. If people want, for whatever reason, and it is legal, sure, let them do it. They follow applicable law, and are thus, as much as I may find it weird, pretty much integrated.

Integration goes both ways: One side adapts to existing rules and norms, and the other side accepts weirdness as long as it is legal. Changing laws to make said weirdness illegal would be a poster case example of xenophobic laws. E.g. passing a law making it illegal to have more than X people visiting a patient, whem knowing full well who will be the only group affected by it. Making accomodations for larger family visits so, that would be a good example or actively working towards integration.

Reminder: Integration =|= Assimilation
Ego, or not, this a by the book example of how not to deal with guests, or people in general for that matter.

Additionally, as side effect from this drama, ThePHD is now back working on WG14 and WG21, and his employer dropped all Rust related efforts.
You answered your own question at "it costs them money".

They cannot afford it, they are an eternal growth company. They will optimize their revenue until they attain total enshittification.
I'm assuming it is unserious, the use of the word "fiasco" is a tell. The fact that it's unserious but still made into a big fuss is an even bigger warning sign in my eyes to steer clear.
This is really hard to follow. Especially because of all those "some individuals", "someone", "two people". Why won't people put names on other people? Accusations are easy when done anonymously. Own your words!

Which is meaningless, like a $20,000 - $100,000 salary range.
We're in this spot after 9 years, most of which was spent trying to be an "agency".

The pandemic cost us most of our employees and the final one left for personal reasons later that year. Trying to be as non-exploitative as possible (within the constraints of the system) left us without sufficient resources to weather a nearly year-long struggle and the fixed nature of wages meant we ended up sinking money into people effectively just sitting on their hands (to no fault of their own).

We talked about possibly moving to an "associate" or "collective" model before the pandemic hit and it was very clear that people who look for employment aren't necessarily also people willing to run a company or give up the labor protections for a stake in their place of work, especially when they were already with a "good employer" which we tried to be.
That does not line up with the known facts at all. It sounds like people were excited by the idea of the speaker themself and different people had different thoughts on the topic and there were communication break downs around that.

Is it? I thought that char-pointers-into-char-arrays are specifically allowed to alias with whatever type.

But yeah, it's a shame we don't have an official "launder" function a-la C++: the malloc/calloc/realloc get to launder the pointers they return simply because the standard declares those functions special.

Agreed. Very much ego issues on both sides indeed.

Next to that I feel some people love any negativity about Rust to make them feel better. Just like there are fans on the other end of the spectrum. Yet to me this just seems to be a typical human issue and that you see play out in pretty much any org and country… not sure why rust as a group of communities would be different then that. If you solve this you’re well on your way to have hope on world peace, no?

Most of us are pragmatic I would hope and realise that Rust has grown into an alternative for some projects where it suits for. Is it for everything? Is it perfect? Is it the best?

No, no, and shrug. But still, glad it exists :) let’s enjoy it. Continue to improve tech and ourselves and enjoy life a bit?

PJ has a new show in a very similar vein called “Search Engine”. Great stuff.
What's "better" depends on whether you 'just' want to download a file, or if you want to build an larger workflow.

For me, I usually want to download files and I'm usually not doing any more processing, so I tend to type in *wget" first.

I found his written work (which is how he built his following) _much_ more useful, but part of that's just about how I process information. Certainly it's valuable to be able to see how certain things are done, and it's hard for cooks to describe techniques sometimes.

Ask HN: Thoughts on Gnu Taler?
I was curious to hear if anyone knowledgeable at HN has thoughts on Gnu Taler[1].

On the recent podcast 'The China Show' [1], all evidence so far points to their 5G chips that were manufactured and imported from Taiwan just before they underwent sanctions. The chip itself performs like a 2-3 year old chip. It is likely a similar story for the SMIC chip - they 100% do not yet have a 7nm process in mainland China.

I think recently China released an "Intel competitor" that turned out to be an old i3 that was de-lidded and had a Chinese name thrown on it, with the firmware reporting rewritten.

> It is unclear how many units of the new device Huawei intends to produce.

> They also suggested that Huawei may be powering some Mate 60s with chips from TSMC, which it had stockpiled before the US cut off such purchases.

You could probably estimate it based on the number of chips they were able to procure prior to sanctions. The other option they have (at incredible cost) is to buy new devices, reverse engineer them, then buy tonnes of them and recover the chips.

Put simply, the title is false. This shows that sanctions are working incredibly well.

Well, you could think about "deploying on Debian" as a combination of these things (but it's not limited to these things):

* Comply with general Linux rules for creating applications, i.e. either provide a file containing ELF executable with the appropriate metadata s.a. execution bit set etc. or similarly, a script file with a properly formatted shebang line.

* Comply with Debian package manager rules, i.e. create a properly formatted DEB file that can, in principle, be installed by "deb" package manager (i.e. doesn't create dependency problems, pre/post-install scripts execute etc.)

It's similar for Kubernetes deployment: except on top of creating a DEB package, you now also need to provide a "chart", that is a document (or a collection of documents) that describe in a formal way how the application is to be installed.

In a way very similar to how you can side-step creation of DEB package by, say, writing a Makefile and using that to install, you could also side-step creating a chart by, eg. writing a script that creates all the necessary Kubernetes entities. It's also not necessary that you create a chart in addition to DEB: it's possible that you use a Makefile-like approach for the part that would be better managed by DEB package, but still provide a chart for Kubernetes (it also has a package manager, however poorly designed and implemented: Helm).

---

In a way similar to how you could rent a bare-metal box or a VM, you can rent a Kubernetes cluster. Prices very a lot, and similar to the VM prices will greatly depend on the components you choose to put in your cluster.

This being said, running applications on Kubernetes is anything but cheap: Kubernetes adds a significant management layer overhead, but that pails on comparison to the typical way to deploy applications where there's rarely any form of cohesion between components (i.e. Linux container images that support individual components rarely have much of an overlap that can be automatically deduplicated, which means the application deployment ends up having tens or hundreds of copies of the same popular libraries, like libc or pthreads etc.) But it doesn't end there: Etcd, the Kuberenetes' database backend is hugely overloaded by all kinds of traffic sent to it. Most of that traffic is of no interest to the operator. So, your network also takes a noticeable performance hit from running Kubernetes in it (a typical solution is to dedicate an entirely separate physical network for Kubernetes' "control plane").

Of course, it's possible to come up with an equally bad if not worse solution in-house, if you want the same features provided by Kubernetes, but it's also possible and relatively easy to come up with a solution that will be less resource-hungry, while performing the same function.

Bottom line: claims about 80% cheaper are pulled out of... well, we'll not discuss where they pulled them out of.
> The man said that many BEV owners (be them individuals or families) get rid of their EVs before achieving such mileage. That includes those who sell them and people who must total them after a crash.

Conflating a) totalled cars (which even then can be recycled) and b) cars entering the second hand market, where they will go on to provide years of low polluting service to lower income families.

Does this Harvard student simply not know what happens to cars over 3 years old as they just disappear out of his frame of reference?
> Years later it dawned on me that it would also be a good source of random data if it at a suitable frequency was fed through an ADC.

To be pedantic, I think you mean good source of entropy, rather than random data. The raw ADC data is likely to have statistic (Gaussian) bias, which would mean trouble if randomness in the crypto sense were the objective. Ie. you would need to whiten the bitstream (using some kind of hash) to make it useful in a (P)RNG.

But nevertheless, a great idea to start with: cheap and relatively reliable.
What I often miss is "the basics". After reading a recipe or following a video, I perhaps know how to make exactly that dish. But that's like a bootcamp programmer learning a single framework. I want to learn the concepts, how to apply them, how and when to break the rules, how to modify it and experiment with what I got. When I follow a recipe, and the result isn't pristine, how do I fix it? Should I add more salt? Should I get better at picking my tomatoes?

I don't want to follow a cooking video to make the same recipe. What I want is to learn these things. I tried MasterClass, but felt it was just more of the same. Well produced, but in the end still recipe-follow-along. Which I enjoy watching, but in the same way watching Veritasium or Numberphile it is mostly entertainment, and doesn't make me a mathematician.
If you want to find out which higher education system is the best—as opposed to the most popular—, asking people who haven't even studied there is a terrible idea.

The education space is full of scams using perceived reputation to prey on students who don't know better. The US even set up a fake university without classes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Farmington and people still signed up because they couldn't tell the difference.

If you want to evaluate education quality, look at people who've gone through the system and how they're doing afterwards.
The biggest shock my indian colleagues percieved when coming for few weeks into Europe - wow, you guys dont have home slaves err maids that you pay like half a dollar a day and abuse err 'employ' to no end? You actually clean your home, do the dirty parts of raising kids, do errands? Why are you living so poor? Their star-struck eyes about Switzerland very quickly sobered up, life aint a Bollywood movie.

I've spent 6 months backpacking all over india, seeing all the dirty underbelly some decade and half ago, interacting mostly with poor and poorer. Life-changing, extremely intense, beautiful and harsh experience. Those indians getting to the west are mostly from those top layers like brahmins, not your usual poor hard working common indians - 'american dream' is hard to achieve anywhere, but is nigh impossible there, regardless of talents and hard work put in. Everybody knows it, and profit from it as much as they can. Young brahmin couple telling me its fine that 5 year old kids work in fireworks factories instead of going to school, at least they bring some money home. Small kids with various medical situations begging on streets. Some sights and their utter unfairness still haunt me to this day.

I know damn well how extremely, ridiculously unfair indian society is, to the core, for millenias. Upper castes dont give a nanofraction of a fuck about poorer people, their suffering. Yes, you can live there like a king on IT salary, maybe not in central Bangalore or Pune, but India is bigger than Europe in more than 1 way.

Yet once you stop being poor, money is of little concern. Things like clean air, water and nature, safety, not having 50 C during summer, free good healthcare if not in US, free good education or social services are things we often take for granted, so do the immigrants over time. Life with some poor immitation of that is not that great, and it doesnt matter how high are the walls you build around yourself to shield yourself from the crap behind them, it simply ain't a great life.

So, comparing how much one earns, or saves is largely meaningless in longer scale. You decide which system overall you want to live in and often raise your kids, the rest are details.
OctaMED was mind blowing. So many hours of joy spent on that.
My take on US democracy is that the level of representation needs to get back to the levels seen in the 18th century.

35000 people per representative. That would mean we would need a larger capitol building - but at least it would be harder to gerrymander and to bribe/lobby all of these people.

In this day of technology we could manage a large congress quite well.
