I also mentioned how in some cases I described it to the front desk and they had cleaning services check. A 5000 room hotel is no different than a 500 room hotel except for scale. You still have to do the same stuff, just more often. Having more rooms doesn’t make things go away…

We're not going to fix wealth inequality and climate change at the same time. Meanwhile, we're not going to fix climate change or wealth inequality by only taxing the emissions of the 1%.

Although having a carbon tax that's redistributed equally per capita (so you get a monthly check) is an interesting idea that ends up reducing emissions (because it disincentivises them) and is mostly progressive (because rich people consume and emit more).
a big jump but not unheard of. remember that the biggest store platforms take 30% already; Apple, Google, Sony, Valve, Microft, and Nintendo. In a vacuum it's not unthinkable to suggest that the engine you make your game on and leverage many features for (networking, porting, collaboration, etc) is at least half as valuable as the store you're hosting the game on.

Personally I think it's the store takeaways that are way too high. And in some cases overstep their boundaries in what they allow an app to do or how to sell it. But that's a big tangent.
You are right, that would certainly be a very big contribution and could have been listed as well. Relocating however is a very big step. While I actually don’t own a car myself and seldom needed one, I am hesitant to prescribe that to others as I know the situation outside the bigger cities gets unpleasant very fast when you are not mobile and relocating is a drastic step not available to everyone.

In the area of personal mobility, change away from cars could only result from collective action, e.g. drastic improvements to public transport and less from personal choice. (EVs however or hybrids are also a real option for many.)

In the beginning of my career, I did an internship at a very small company that had been selling a desktop app for 20+ years, among other stuff. Each customer got their own database.

The software was pretty stable and the team were part time consultants for that app, which mostly involved helping users perform complicated queries and creating stored procedures (they loved those). Subscription was allegedly quite expensive and had minimal churn over the years.

For that kind of hyper stable software where each customer get their own database, I can see it working. In your typical 2023 SaaS where you are serving 1000s of users through a complex API and a database, I'm not sure a db can give you the level of flexibility and quality of life an API gives you.
Forums can also be small. Regardless of size, one or a cadre of like-minded or easily manipulated folks can dominate a forum.

I think the major difference between forums and Discord/IRC is that the conversations are more likely to be seen on the forums because they’re more persistent and can be more easily referenced to see the entire picture.

That’s certainly not impossible in IRC but it’s more work and less accessible to the less technically inclined.

Ha, this reminds me of driver licences in Australia. So at this point almost everyones licence has been leaked multiple times (and just having the details used to be enough to open a bank account online, not sure if this is still the case).

I received an email from my state’s RTA, saying they were adding 2-factor authentication to licences. Great! I assumed this might be an oauth type scenario, or maybe even just email.

Nope. The “second” factor is a different number printed on the licence. Surely this communication had to go through multiple departments, get vetted for accuracy. Yet no one picked up that this isn’t multi factor authentication.

Its only purpose is to make it easier for them to issue a new licence _after_ you’ve been defrauded out of all your money, because most states refuse to issue people with new licence numbers. It does nothing more than fix an incompetence in their system/process. Yet it was marketed as some kind of security breakthrough, as if it would add protection to your licence.
They just changed your initial quote!

Neovim plus the Rust treesitter thing is really good. Intellij has work to do before they are worth paying for. Which is great! I love competition. Kotlin is probably my favorite language to program in, but I hate how it locks you in to a single IDE.
Here is one way, I use the Lindy effect as a mental model:

When picking a tech stack for a software investment and you want a reasonable expectation that it will still be actively maintained 10 years from now, you need to go back in time by 10 years. I’ve found this 10 years time horizon a useful one to work with, based on version histories of various bits of software I build upon. For example, for Python, this takes me back to version 3.4, before type decorators and many other things hit the scene that I disapprove of. So now, I test all my code with both version 3.4 and the newest version (3.11). I won’t use language features from 3.11 that weren’t already there in 3.4, and I won’t use code in 3.4 that breaks or throws deprecation warnings in 3.11. I also apply this test to dependencies, paying close attention to what happens if I try to get the newest version of some Python library running on version 3.4 of the interpreter or a 10-year-old version of the library on version 3.11 of the interpreter.

This means my code is engineered so that it could have been in continuous operation for the last 10 years while running continuous updates on what’s underneath it. And this gives me a reasonable expectation that my code will require only minimal code changes over the next 10 years to keep up with whatever might arise.

With the python interpreter itself, it’s remarkably easy to do that. I feel it doesn’t limit my coding in any meaningful way. With other bits of software, including many python libraries that one might depend on, it would be absolutely unworkable. In such a case, I take that as a clear signal not to use the dependency at all. This is a lot of work, but also a good forcing function that prevents me from becoming a dependency hog myself.
Given that they merged/aquired an adtech company accused of developing malware last year, I think Unity is having its cake here.
Then I guess we agree! My mantra is to just never click on any links. Even when I know they aren’t phishing I don’t click on them.

Of course that’s probably easier for a programmer than most other employees. I’m notoriously hard to reach unless it’s through a user story on our board that’s first been vetted by a PO. Something you probably can’t get away with if you’re not privileged enough by being in an in-demand role where they can’t just replace you by someone more compliant. I do try not to be an asshole about it, but we have soooooo many fake phishing mails and calls from our cyber awareness training that it’s just gotten to the point where it’s almost impossible to get trapped by one unless you ignore things until someone shows up in person. Luckily one of my privacy adding in FireFox prevented me from getting caught when I actually did click one of the training links on one of those famous Thursday afternoons. So I still don’t have the “you’ve clicked a phishing link” achievement… which I’m still not sure why is there, because I sort of want it now that it is, and eventually that urge is going to win.

Artificial Intelligence May Be Humanity’s Most Ingenious Invention–and Its Last?
I second this notion. I was really excited to try it out, only to have it fail to run most of our projects:

* can't use AWS SDK v3 because throws an error when parsing a response;

* can't use octokit (or anything that depends on jsonwebtoken, for that matter) because node:crypto is not fully implemented;

* can’t run our tests, because jest.resetAllMocks() is missing

* in another project, bun test failed to even run, complaining about invalid call to shared library
So for me the local workflow is “run it with bun, see if it fails, re-run with node if it does”. At least I can always replace npm with it, I guess? Can’t imagine running our services with it just yet. Really excited for the future of the project, because when it works - it really is amazing. But I wouldn’t call it 1.0 if the selling feature is Node compatibility.
This is amazing, and also the when and await next keywords would be really nice to have in a real language.
(Disclaimer: I have no idea how this actually works.) I would guess that running this on-device would be prohibitive and they probably get told accounts and whatnot that are known to have sent the messages, then go in their server logs and check who they reached out to.
There is a lot of actual conspiracies. Much more than conspiracy theories. The only known working process to uncover a conspiracy is to conduct an investigation and then prove the findings in a court.
You do it w/ a buy-in, e.g. permission from some of the maintainers - so they are aware. If you do not get permission, you do nothing. It's similar to penetration testing/

My AP Lit teacher in high school encouraged us to read the bible - not for any type of religious reason - but because it is so frequently referenced by western literature, especially in older texts. If you don't pick up on the biblical allegories when reading something like Shakespeare then you'll miss critical details.
What makes you think they aren’t super hackers?
Thanks for the feedback, I disagree.

> tone-deaf, needlessly aggressive, hostile, confrontational, and borderline malicious posts I wish I could cleanse the Internet of wholesale.

I have never said this before, but maybe you're a little too sensitive?

In any event, I feel your characterization of my comment borders on ad hominem and certainly it seems to violate the site guideline to interpret comments charitably.

Good day.
I definitely would stock the Bible, yes -- with the argument that Western societies and cultures are riddled with biblical metaphors and everyday customs, so it does make sense for the kids to be familiar with them.

Not sure about stocking e.g. Mein Kampf, though. This one I would probably pass, due to disgust towards what the Nazis did. From another angle, I might be "brainwashed" here -- by the cultural meme that this is a Dangerous Book. I don't really know. In the end, it is still just a book. Can a book be dangerous in itself? Not sure that possessing it would turn somebody into a Nazi; a youngster's appreciation of those ideas is surely more complicated a mechanism than just reading a book.

Tangentially related: in my (post-soviet) country, there has been discussion whether former Soviet military buildings are a part of cultural heritage, or should they all be demolished. As a regular person, I'm definitely siding with keeping some of those buildings -- the Soviet occupation was a sad, devastating part of our past, and younger generations should have physical examples of what it was like. Whether those buildings will be used as some kind of cult objects etc -- this is a matter of values education at school or at home.

So I fully agree with @j7ake's comment in this thread that reading (or -- my addition -- possessing) a book is not the same as agreeing with its premises. Hiding the past won't work, I think.

Great angle @kjellsbells, though. Interesting to think about. Thanks for bringing this up.
Yes... but why do this ? I don't regret the XHTML days and its feature stagnation, but this is just useless.
Construct 3 moved away to a subscription model (I was a huge fan of C2 back in the day) and annual fee. I'd recommend checking out GDevelop, an open source 2d visual game engine which also exports for HTML5/mobile, and is completely free.

Ask HN: What OS Design/Architecture Would piss Off NSO the Most?
I am really worried about how easy it is for companies like NSO to hack smartphones using their Pegasus product.

My question is what kind of Operating System Design should be employed to make it as difficult as possible for companies like NSO to find useful exploits in smartphone/computers?

- I hear about exo-kernels, microkernels, monolithic kernels, unikernels etc what approach is the best?

- What language should it be written in? Rust ( I don't know if the memory safety advantages of rust can bring something to the table in this case)

- What design considerations should one put in place to make sure the OS is as secure as possible from bugs found in applications running on it (a zero click zero day in WhatsApp should not allow someone to see, my recent calls, peek into my gallery etc)

- How can I make it as difficult as possible for malware to be installed?

- I want it to be such that writing a zero day exploit into the code, is as difficult as possible.

- I also want it such that if a zero day exploit does exist, it is found as easily and quickly as possible.
"really hope" is too weak. This has to be fixed before release. A stable release with this would be unacceptable and would be reason for me to abandon Mac OS. You don't deliver a product with this kind of regression if you want it to be used for any kind of serious business
NSO Group seems to know quite a bit about what code is running on it.
It's easy.

You are the host, you define the rule.
Casey is a seasoned dev in the scene, with a decent resume of games and an even more impressive resume on knowledge in engine tech. Most notably, he's working on a new programming language called Jai that is tailored for game development.

So he may not be the most appropriate person to ask for game engine advice (since he says in the article, he makes and rolls a lot of his own tech), but he will inevitably be asked for his thoughts and advice on the situation regardless.
What are the class markers in that sentence?
It's not a binary choice, it's a gradient and you decide to pick one of the extremes. Meat is a luxury, always has been for 'ordinary' people. One day per week if you were lucky until sixty to seventy years ago or so. The exception: farm owners and the wealthy.
This is one of the most common reasons I've seen people use to push back on Discord for support, and the article somewhat brings it up in points 3 and 4. It's not publicly scrapable or anonymously accessible, nor can you archive it and host the information elsewhere if it goes down. Even the forum channels they introduced aren't useful in those regards.
discord makes bank, but not my point.

microsoft has all the motivation to lock down developers. they already got most by the balls with vscode and copilot.
As I learned that 85% of its trainig data is English. Othere languanges composed of 15%.
By the quality of the book.
Also, Scala sort of recently became completely revamped and I have only had a not too positive experience with the new version - which does make sense that it won’t instantly be as feature-complete.
People forget that there is a fashion and demographic element in these choices that can overwhelm rational argumemts about functionality et al.

Discord had certain features that struck a chord with a generation of gaming communities, thats more or less all there is to it. Now people will pick it just to be trendy and in tune with the times.

Personally I find its manipulative, over-emojed UI distasteful and it is hopeless for knowledge management.
Sorry but if you think large-scale companies are going to use a platform designed for gaming as their main support channel - no.

We've had one "Enterprise" supplier move from Slack to Discord. Their community manager in this case did not understand my argument of why this is a bad thing and kept pushing it. For example when I said there is no SSO, they said there is (of course not realising WE have to pick up the bill to set that up - also puts the work on CISOs to investigate the tool for larger use).

Now they are on Discord and I will not share any NDA-related material there - nor would our Security and Data Privacy team like us to.

At least they agreed to keep the Slack Connect in this case.
Good that "Come and See" is relatively high.

We do know it’s somewhat expensive to target people.
> Playing devils advocate for a moment. How else do you test the robustness of the human process to prevent bad actors? Don’t you need someone to attempt to introduce a security hole to know that you are robust to this kind of attack?

How do you test that the White House perimeters are secure, or that the president is adequately protected by the Secret Service?
From my experience it happens just as much on forums. Hell, just take a look at Stack Overflow! If someone is wanting to reanswer a question for the nth time, I have no problem with that, and the helpers in my community don't either. As another poster said, as well, sometimes "repeat questions" age out after a certain point, where a newer method is actually more appropriate than an older one anyway.
This is everything sailing isn’t. If that makes any sense.
> In Europe? Don't you mean "in that specific hotel, on that specific day, with that specific employee"?

No I don't mean all of that. He wrote "In Europe this would literally be zero problem, hence my attempt." I'm curious, if you can get a hotel room key in Europe without ID, how does that work? Does the phone work as proof?

I think there is a culture shift. When I was young all events would be on Facebook. For better or worse that created a source of truth (worse being that obviously we were forcing guests onto a platform that we shouldn't be forcing them on) and a whole structure that kept track of things for you.

Now a days, I see events being a post across a few chat groups, with no source of truth for time and place (and those often left out!)

I have an impression that there is a whole new generation of people who _don't_ want to post on or interact with a forum/bulletin board style of interface, but want to be part of a "living" and instant group.

I'm not part of any chat group where this is really working, but every meetup I go to, people are asking "which chat group should I join?" or "why don't I create a whatsapp/discord for this meetup?"
I keep hearing about text classification but I can’t think of many specific use cases.

What’s the problem with Gradle? It is one of the few extensible, cross-language build systems that actually has most necessary features for the task, and is correct.

Android just has some absolutely mindblowingly insane dependency graph and long-running steps in their build process, making even gradle sweat buckets. Without a significant re-architecture, Bazel wouldn’t fair any better, while a significant re-architecture could just as well help Gradle.

Even if not on an island extinction is on the menu depending on how large the population was to begin with and the velocity of the crash. This is because the males in the population can't reproduce by themselves and the weakest are often the young. So when food runs out, even if it is temporarily, you may see one last generation of very fit males and possibly some cannibalism and after that it is game over. Calhoun did some pretty gruesome (and borderline unethical) experiments that are the closest thing we have to lab controlled overpopulation experiments. The results presented are pretty sobering.
