Cloudflare (CF) is a large Conglomerate. - Archive.Today (AT) is perhaps a single person. - Hence David vs Goliath.

CF could easily pass on the EDNS subnet information to allow AT to load-balance using its own CDN.

CF has made what appears to be a specious claim that they do not pass on the information to protect an end-users security.

In my honest opinion, Both CF and AT are acting in an infantile manner with no attempt to mitigate this issue for the end-user.

Which ever way you look at this problem, the average end-user is hurt/damaged,

perhaps it is past time for regulatory body(s), Legislators to cast an eye on anti-competitive stifling of competition.

I've read this a few times and I unfortunately can't understand how you meant this since it can be read a few different ways. Those links are for government data requests, but what's being requested in a privacy report for apps on the platform. Assuming you're asking if Apple should make a site like that but for non-government bad actors, I think the answer is "yes". That's the sort of transparency report being asked for, but broken down by the app or organization asking for that data. Ideally that would lead to the market pressuring such apps or organizations to only request the data they actually need.

Interested to know what can be done with the up/down votes, some kind of RLHF for image generation?

Unfortunately it seems some "tiled images" must have made it into the dataset as half the time it generates an array of tiny images instead of a single emoji. Out of about 5 or 6 tries I got one good one that wasn't centered correctly.
The idea of switching jobs every year and going through the usually grueling tech hiring process is exhausting to me. However, it’s mostly juniors in Silicon Valley doing this. I would also be wary of hiring anyone jumping ship every year unless they’re not senior.
Yeah, it seems like the hope here is that the "good ones" will bail, forcing employers to re-evaluate their RTO plans and conclude that they have to offer WFH if they hope to retain their best and brightest. The fallacy in that line of reasoning is that they've never been able to really figure out who their best and brightest were to begin with (even assuming that those are the ones who are insisting on WFH). The only thing they actually measure is what they can easily count like number of commits, meeting deadlines, and hours physically spent in their line of sight. Eventually the protesters will have to pay rent and buy groceries, so they'll get in line and return to office for another employer - after salaries have dropped significantly.

It was a valiant effort, but probably for nought.

This seems like it went under the radar a bit.

I cannot comprehend the impact if someone like VISA went down like this for the same amount of time. I feel like you might be getting what you are paying for with those merchant fees. They seem like extortion until you get a chance to take a tour through the fully-staffed command center and get to see just how much pain & suffering that real, live humans go through 24/7/365 to ensure the payment network is stable.

During my time working for Pulse (now part of Discover), I was expected to respond to a network outage within 60 seconds. Like, on the phone having a conversation with the bank's IT team. Anything going beyond 5 minutes would be escalated to a multi-party bridge call that doesn't end until everything is green again. The notion that the entire payment network could be down for more than a few hours is unimaginable at the scale of an organization like Visa, Amex or Discover.

Crowdsourcing contests: Understanding what brings rewards and lowers risks
I got my first Amiga in early 1992 and the Amigas stayed as my main computer systems up until as late as 2000 or 2001. For most of my years with the Amiga I was part of what's called the "demoscene", mainly as a coder but also doing a bit of music now and then, and for a couple of years I also ran a scene focused (non-warez) public BBS. I also spent a few years in the warez scene as a "trader", slinging warez between BBSes.

For me, LZX was the dominant archive format during the latter half of my Amiga days, whether it was scene productions, warez, or stuff sourced from magazine CDs etc. Most things archived with LHA that I came upon were things that originated from the early part of the 90s and before.

I've noticed that middle management and up don't really see humans or even differentiate between them except during compensation assessment (and even then, barely). It's all just a numbers/headcount game to them. Every human is equivalent in their given role when it comes to planning/org structure.

In bigger companies, this management layer is more concerned about creating domains of influence or "kingdoms" then they are in actually delivering value for the company. Not sure if this is just normal human organizational behavior, or something has gone off the rails in corporate culture - but it is what it is.

It's happening at my company as well, and particularly in my own org. I'm one of the people leaving for better opportunities away from politics and silly RTO mandates lacking any semblance of data grounding.
Each of those indicators can also be seen as signs of trouble.

Stock buybacks -- indication that investing in business is seen as having lower, maybe even zero or negative, ROI

Acquisitions -- again, natural growth of company less favorable than consolidation. Which could mean that market isn't growing.

Regulators -- I don't know that this claim is well-supported across the board. Would seem to need to be quantified in a very case-by-case basis. There certainly are industries that are examples of the opposite.

New tech on the horizon doesn't generate income today and no one knows for sure exactly which tech to invest in now

Consumers are already cutting spending and about to hit a debt wall later this year; COVID stimulus is pretty much all spent

P/E ratios is a sign, perhaps, that people don't have other places to put there money

Not saying my interpretations are correct, just that there are other sides to your indicators.

It's honestly not that hard. Given that both parties are serious about working together, even considering rescinding a signed offer is ridiculous. There aren't many reasons why a company could legitimately back out of an employment contract, and those can be added to the fine print. If the company want to be protected against potential criminality or an injury that would cause you to be unable to perform the duties of the job you can write that into the contract.

Everything is negotiable, you just have to ask.
So how can you tell who is apathetic and underskilled, but management cannot?
Warning: anecdote to follow. Data set: n=1. Not a peer-reviewed study. Just a completely irrelevant observation by a completely irrelevant HN poster.

Last year, at the tail end of the pandemic-induced lull in traffic, my flowers would attract groups of over 20 bees, easily, every day.

This year, with similar weather, pretty much the same flowers, and definitely the same location, it's a good day if I see 4 individual bees.

So, the answer 'air pollution' to the question 'what changed' seems at least likely?
> In general people who want remote work care less about work and often are average or below average workers and are no stranger to looking for new jobs.

That is a fairly big assumption without actual data.

It's funny how many of the RTO companies (like Amazon) boast their data-driven approach, but when it comes to backing up their RTO mandate with actual data they're completely silent and even shun/mute employees that ask for this data.

Contrast this with their 'data-driven' claims of increased productivity due to remote work during covid.
You can't corral a bunch of interns -- of potentially unknown skills levels, even with our hindsight of where they wound up -- and expect them to wing their way through a "greenfield" project to launch in 10-or-so weeks. Especially not when you're filming them also.

Imagine them arguing endlessly about how many points to give to the VNC extensions they needed? And at a time when most businesses had maybe heard of agile, but never used it.

Functional specs are super-duper common still. I do (often fixed-cost) bespoke software for clients: can you imagine a non-tech client and me handwaving our way through a complex project one sprint at a time? No, thank you.

Having said all that, Joel's a talented guy, and he probably had a really good idea of what he'd have to do to build the whole thing. When people like that write the functional spec, you're going to wind up with a high-quality document.
> From what Ive heard on the grapevine PR flacks hate the Register. That kind of says it all.

Everyone with good judgment hates The Register and recognizes that it's unmitigated hot garbage. This does not logically imply that the PR flacks you're referring to necessarily have good judgment and I don't mean to imply that.

Nothing personal, everyone has their lapses. Look at music in the late nineties...

> They dont just republish press releases like Reuters or write neoliberal op eds like the Economist.

Okee dokee.
I'd say it usually comes from the difficulty in hiring. Extremely difficult to convince someone to leave FAANG / quant firms to work in a no name startup with very high chance of failures, and therefore usually you need a good GTM strategy first (which often requires you have acquired customers / revenue). Often in startups, the priority is figuring GTM strategy > acquiring customers > ... > hiring.

Is hiding subpar performance that much easier at home than in an open plan office?
Older people, because the denominator has gone way up. Women, you know, it's complicated.
Bingo.

In my experience, anti RTO folks are stacked to 1 actually good employe to about 5 slackers.

I work with a few remote folks today. They are always out of to loop, late to deliver and somehow always have a reason to not be at meetings.

The worst of them before the pandemic were the ones that showed up at 11:30 ate free lunch and was out by 1:30.

While there are genuinely good employees who don’t want RTO, it’s the ones who yell about it the most who are poor performers.
Not for nothing, but after the first big contribution from a person, aren’t successive contributions from that person more likely to be big and successful?
“Inherently safer than kerosene and synfuels” - No way. Or at least: I don’t think we truly know yet, until they’ve flown for a few years.

I used to think hydrogen was extremely safe. It’s super light right, so it should quickly vent away if there’s a leak? Then a hydrogen gas station nearby exploded. Didn’t look like it was very airtight to me, but somehow enough gas collected for a big explosion.

It’s extremely hard to prevent hydrogen leaks. The cause of the explosion was a fitting that wasn’t tightened to just perfectly the right torque. Supposedly the procedure to fix this is to have every fitting double checked by a second person. Doesn’t sound inherently safe to me.

There’s no warning if there’s a hydrogen leak. There’s no smell or visible gas.

The right mixture of hydrogen and air will practically self ignite. There was no source of fire at the gas station. The tiniest invisible spark can set it off.

I was also surprised by how loud the explosion was. The explosion is fast. It will rip things apart. On the positive side, it’s over very quickly. You’re not going to have a lingering fire from fuel that has sprayed everywhere like with Kerosene.

I think hydrogen CAN become perfectly safe with the right engineering. I think the solution will be that every single piece of tube or valve that has hydrogen flowing through it needs a double tubing around it with active ventilation, and sensors where it vents out to check that it has the expected air flow and no hydrogen gas is detected.

But inherently safe? No way
"ChiComs", seriously? This isn't infowars
Agreed! And a skilled teacher would start by teaching Smoke on the Water with dyads (two-note chords) and then use that as a starting point for two discussions. First, one about barre chords and second, one about the same chords in their open format.

If the student is into classic rock, it's easy to expand this lesson into Cat Scratch Fever, Rock You Like a Hurricane, and Iron Man which are all similar to Smoke on the Water.
In many cases they don't have agency because of economical reasons, in some of them because of other reasons (religion, culture). But most of it is because of no economical power, making it relevant. The biggest (by population number) example was China, where they have agency.

> You can't scale an application that relies on a database heavily to this level because your fundamental constraint IS the database.

I pool ~10.000 connections down to under 500. I can't do application level pooling because the application is just thousands of individual processes, you often see this with Python, PHP or NodeJS applications.

500 open connections is way less overhead than 10.000 on the Postgres server. I'm very happy to "pass the buck" of connection pooling to separate machines with pgBouncer.
From my experience, most people who leave do so after finding another position. Those who leave without it, usually feel confident enough they can find another job.

Those that lack that confidence, wait. No point in skipping paychecks and giving up on possible severance when you feel you’re bad.

But believe what you want of course.
Yeah and the timing is also easily explainable.

The board could have already had doubts, and when he lost a Shopify contract to Amazon, when arguably Shopify sells itself as the anti-Amazon, that only served to underscore he wasn’t the right person to lead the company.
Disagreeing on being good enough. The problem is that many of these devices regularly poll their mothership for commands and updates. We are one (feasibly, already done but unknown) server compromise away from millions of light bulbs or outlets or whatever turning into a botnet.

If Bun is able to run and bundle a TypeScript React app out-of-the-box, what are the benefits of using Vite.js on top of it?

I'm confused cause this guide on the official site showcases how to use Bun + Vite.js to build a TypeScript React app. [1]

There is also this issue on their Github. [2]

Can Vite.js be used to handle more complicated scenarios / advanced use cases that Bun doesn't handle? My use of Vite.js is pretty basic (start & build with the default TS+React config) so maybe I'm missing something here.

Sure, the asker can be a "demanding idiot". But a guesser can also expect everyone to be able to read their mind -- which is being just as much of a "demanding idiot".

You seem to actually be insisting that one cultural pattern is better than the other, when there's simply no objective basis for that assertion whatsoever.

You're concluding that the article/analysis is written from one bias, but I think it's actually revealing your own personal bias here. The article seems entirely objective and neutral to both viewpoints, whereas your reactions are clearly not.

The Amico was always dead as far as anybody with more than two brain cells is concerned.

IIRC there was a bit of scandal involving the AA mods censoring criticism of the Amico. Not sure if there was an actual conflict of interest or just fanboys getting drunk on hype, but it was only a couple years ago and to see them getting into bed with yet another company trying to capitalize on a retro gaming brand is bound to draw comparisons.
>I wonder what it will take for people to finally get fed up with creepy advertising companies.

As long as they continue to make shiny new i devices - nothing.
The configuration is a problem here.

You can do exactly what you propose, right now, with stuff like ESPhome. You pre-bake what device does and which WiFi network it uses into image, burn it in, and you're done.

But that's for "us"

Normal user needs a way to get the box to configure to his needs, and do it easily. So suddenly you can "log" onto device and edit its config, and you need to find a way to make sure only legit user does it etc.

And now it is a big blob of code and you DONT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE want to have big blob of code that's hard to update in the wild.

All speculation:

* I imagine massive amounts of legal compliance work are required, varying from state to state (internationally).

* Support requests from customers, requiring varying levels of developer time

* working on the matching algorithm

* tempting getting former users back in

* maintaining data analytics pipelines so the CEO has something to ignore in favour of gut feeling.

* and the remaining 170 staff are agile coaches.
I've just found that to be the opposite. When someone is out of office their work is really easy to see. You can just look at their contributions. In fact, it's kind of on them to go out of their way to show the work because a lot of the natural "ah yeah I just got that done, that was tough" conversations won't happen.

The people in the office have a farrrr easier time relying on non-work to look good. They can have conversations, build relationships, etc very naturally. They look like they're working so it's just easier for them not to. I can sit at my desk all day reading HN and I look like I'm working, people will assume I must be. If I'm sitting at home all day reading HN, not so much, I'd better have something to show that I got something done.
50% of any large tech company are not engineers but people working support processes. Think lawyers, HR, controlling, compliance,...

Now assume a third of the tech half is required to keep stuff running (sys admins, SRE, devops), one third doing the actual developmemt and one third make sure the app is actually aligned with user interests (testing, ui/ux, security)

Split the app teams by platform and you end up with roughly 15 iOS/Android Devs.
