I remember back in the 1980s when people who liked assault rifles... liked assault rifles. Today the companies that sell 'em will go bankrupt if the Republicans get elected because then the people who buy 'em won't be afraid of getting them taken away anymore.
I think it’s many factors.

1. They do to some extent.

2. Which researchers are you going to hire? Lemon market, whoever wants to be hired is more likely a lemon.

3. Freelancing grayhat stuff is very rock n roll.

4. I bet some they try to hire and then the square and inflexible large corpo hiring process is just absolutely unfit for hiring such a person.
Poach them to do what? There’s not much use to Apple or Google to have an implant developer around, and just having them do nothing is likely to be frustrating if the corporate lifestyle wasn’t enough already.
Oh you!

Apple is not a monopoly, and the court agreed with that.

Maybe you should more carefully examine what exact market you're talking about.
How can you do an upfront pricing for emergency situations?
Yeah I've done it. Not for Git but for SSH. I'll call the admin out-of-band and read him part of the fingerprint, and ask him to read another part back. Only done it a few times when I'm setting up a new machine and don't have an already-authenticated one to check against.

If I've got suspicions about the network connection I'm on, I'll first ask him some questions about our adventures years ago, that nobody else would likely know about.

And one time when the host key changed, and I wasn't expecting it, he said my call was how he knew he replaced the right box. Tongue-in-cheek, but only barely.

The only time I immediately dismiss the key-changed message is when I'm cycling yet another raspberry pi image into the same IP as an old one or whatever, and I'm on the local network so I know exactly what's going on.
You'll still have the structured concurrency calls but that's much better than pure callback hell.

I didn't realize that Apple forbade anyone from doing repairs? If I want to replace the battery in my iPhone, there are a multitude of 3rd party vendors I can buy from. It'll tell me it can't verify the battery is authentic... but you can still use the battery. Same with screen, camera, etc.

If Apple wanted to actually forbid repairs, they wouldn't let you turn on the device if the battery wasn't authenticated, or the display wasn't authenticated, etc.
Google absolutely “poach” promising startup devs tbh.
For the "I just need to emit and visualize a DAG" problem, at one point I wrote a python script that would filter for the relevant data, emit line-by-line mermaidJS-flavored markdown, and then shove that into an HTML file that imported the MermaidJS library.

The MermaidJS solves for the DAG and visualizes it, and your browser has enough context to let you CTRL-F for any interesting phrases you put in the label.
The original author is also diving in to help with the problem he saw, which is an ideal outcome for a bug report from a new user.
I think the future is about to have a fork: dumb content and smart content. dumb content will be all the ai created articles, websites, music etc. and the actual creative people will move to creating much more intelligent works.
Fishbowl is pretty neat, are there any technical bowls you’d recommend?
VIM but particularly Emacs can get painfully slow on semi-large files (and forget about it if you have very long lines) and you have to tweak or disable lots of features if you want them to be reactive and not peg your CPU.

So I think it's more down to the implementation than the language it's written in. V8 is really efficient at running JS, what slows it down is the 25 levels of abstraction and indirection that is usually added on top of it. OP claims to try to reduce that, so maybe give it a chance?
If you like this kind of pattern you might want to read up on Haskell’s GADTs. Generalized algebraic data-types.

This is where you can index the different constructors (enum variants) with an additional type variables and even specialize them when needed. A pretty powerful tool to encode at the type level that similar things are slightly different.

After several decades in the business, I have learned not to underestimate the massive power of trendiness.

A lot of the argument against it is: SQL is stodgy and uncool, and I want to use Cool Language XYZ. And honestly, I don't entirely blame people for that. If you want to work in this industry you need to do things the "cool" way or you'll never even be considered for roles. Gotta keep that resume looking good.

People also don't appreciate how performant it can be. Depending on what you're doing it can be orders of magnitude more performant to do things in-database versus shuffling things back and forth. (It can also be less performant...)

There are definitely cons to that approach.

One is scalability. It's easier to scale your app layer horizontally than it is to scale your database server vertically. This isn't necessarily an issue: a modern beefy server CPU with 64-128 cores and a TB or two of RAM is more than 99.9% of companies need, is really not that expensive, and is probably a lot cheaper than more complicated setups and extra devops headcount. But that's not cool either.

Two is the language/skills mismatch. You've got an app layer in one language, a frontend in another, and now potentially a data storage layer written in a third. This is a valid concern, but also nobody seems to use it as an argument against Javascript frontends, so apparently sometimes it's cool and sometimes it isn't.

Debugging stored procedures sort of sucks. That's fair. (But also, nobody is saying to rewrite your entire app, or even most of it, in the DB layer)

Common migration tools often don't really have explicit support for stored procs and things like that, but AFAIK they do let you run arbitrary SQL DDL stuff, so I don't think this is a hard barrier.
Scraping hundreds of site seems mostly unethical.

My sites are periodically on the wrong end of scrapers, greedy by design or in error, occasionally needing to be manually blocked or even legals threatened.

Just because something can be done, done't mean it should. It also doesn't mean that you should make it easier. Any more than offering 'better' SPAM engines...
Depends on the nature of the service - for dns, vpn and so on - thing you only really need one of - once chosen it makes sense - nextdns is 1$/month, backblaze 10 and i feel fine for subscribing. And not locked in in any way. I don't really need second one of any of those.

It doesn't make sense when your consumption is spread between many vendors - like news sites or streaming services or substacks. There should be option - done one time to someone on substack. There are authors I would like to send some money, but they just don't create enough value.

search engines and gpt chat bots are something in the middle - you usually have 1 + 1/2 backup. Goodle, then bing (google filter way too much some stuff), then yandex (since there torrents are not nuked). In this spot subscribing for each is too much money, but just limiting for one has real quality of life costs. Kagi seems to be somewhere here. I wish them luck - search space begs for disruption, but my hunch is that 10$/month is on the high side. On the other hand having those kind of people is valuable. A search engine for the rich will have easier time pitching value adding service.
> Why does Washington DC look the way it does? Why are there pillars and obelisks and domes and white marble everywhere? Why is there Latin on the money? Why does every US courthouse look like a Roman temple, and why is there a Roman goddess on it?

This is all true for much or most of Europe, the West, and Western-affiliated countries. (Also, the marble in Rome, and Greece from whom the Romans took much of these styles) was generally painted, so not quite the austere white of DC.)
So having a small room at home dedicated for work is bad? I don't really get it. How is office different, cooling/heating isn't needed there?

We can be skeptical of a truck mechanic's opinions on quantum physics, and we can be skeptical of a physicist's opinions as well. But certainly the physicist deserves less skepticism, because they have expert knowledge on the subject (whether or not we trust them to tell us the truth).

> "Driven by" is not the opposite of "innocent"

I agree, that's why I didn't say driven until proven innocent. I'm just pointing out that the concept of innocent until proven guilty does not apply, as we have no moral imperative to treat corporations fairly. We're not claiming that any person at Google did something immoral, but that the structure of the corporation resulted in an immoral act. An 'unjust conviction' (so to speak) would not result in a person being imprisoned without cause, so we are free to make the most reasonable decision without the burden of "beyond a shadow of a doubt".

For the record, I'm still not claiming that it was 100% done intentionally, I'm just explaining why I'm inclined to believe something based on circumstantial evidence. Courtroom procedure is designed to protect people (in a perfect world), so I'll only adhere to it if there's someone to protect. I don't think Google is deserving of my, or anyone's, protection.
It took me some time to convince myself (and a visit to Wikipedia) to tread Kioxia as a proper brand.
I feel like this isn't a new phenomenon, it's just been democratized.

As with Jeff Kramer and other business talking heads who will gladly tell you how you can make money by just following their advice, if somebody really had the secrets to "get rich quick" they wouldn't go around selling that to you.

In the age of "web3" (and now AI) hype, there's no longer one Jeff Kramer - there are thousands, millions of them, inserting themselves in peoples' feeds instead of into their TVs. Now countless grifters are out there, selling themselves as arcane wizards who can lead the gullible masses to financial success.

Unlike Kramer (who is bound by a legal framework that at least tries to protect public from outright grifts in traditional media), though, this new generation is basically free to outright lie with complete impunity.
What kind of websites? You mean like social media sites that are obfuscated to prevent scraping? I suppose, it would have to be quite reliable.

I don't know how relevant this is, but I was thinking that you could probably use some sort of AI to enhance OCR and convert written documents into some sort of semantic form like HTML or Latex. That would allow you to use books to scrape information, and written books still have a lot of untapped knowledge.

It seems like the demand for web scraping and such is to create datasets for ML training. And now you are using AI for scraping. So it is sort of a self-improving cycle

Was it an intentional genocide? Or was it repetitions of human/neanderthal clashes that resulted in us wiping out male neanderthals and breeding with the females until their genetic contribution got reduced to current levels (~2% on the high end). I guess technically we are still slowly killing them off every time someone with a high % procreates with someone who has none.
I think the attack in all cases would require pointing DNS of gitprovider.net to their own server. This means they control DNS on that network, which means they're running it.

What am I doing on a network I don't trust with a machine I've never used? The example given is that I've started a new job. Well okay, their machine, their network, and I guess their corporate gitprovider.net account they're getting me to use, so to heck with it.

If we're talking about using _my_ gitprovider.net account however, that's a different story. I simply wouldn't use my own account on a laptop that's not mine.
who's to say they're not doing this? there are a lot of security companies and researchers in the world though

> Workers should have a strong say in how they spend their 40+ hours a week, but we have a society where petty tyrants get to control their workers' lives.

To be fair, this is especially egregious in the United States, where urban design is incredibly hostile and workers have long commutes because of distortionary policies to boost car sales and maximize returns on real estate speculation. Likewise, workers have so few protections and paid leave relative to other developed countries.

I probably wouldn’t care about going into the office in a nice, walkable European city, where I didn’t live in constant fear of being fired, be unable to take sick days, or be constantly forced to work over 40 hours, rarely take vacations, etc. But if you’re going to design society around maximizing my misery to make as much money as possible for someone else, I’m sure as hell not going to want to go into work if I can do my job from my couch with my dog beside me.

Is it really that strange that people think about the Roman empire when things related to it are all around us? Even the white house is built to look Roman. Not to mention all the documentaries and games that touches on Roman stuff.

Great time for disabled people to die because they won’t be able to get care. Disabled people can’t pay for psychotic medical bills as it is and this will just result in medical providers denying care without upfront pay.
Lazy take. Node.js is fast, mature, and gives you an in-built editor scripting language for free.

...I mean it's not my favourite, but acting like that's some kind of massive barrier to users of a CLI editor is an overreaction.
How about the insurers and providers working together on reasonable billing and not make patients pay random charges over which they had no control and information about cost?
Keyword: “abandonment.”
And just regular companies. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/30/business/economy/hiring-a...
In many cases the patient has insurance with set co-pays so providers collect only the co-pay at time of service based on a good faith assumption that the insurer will pay the rest of the claim at an agreed rate. But if the insurer doesn't pay by a certain deadline then the provider might bill the patient for the balance. Then the patient has to argue with their insurer over the claim.

This is a screwed up system that leaves patients caught in the middle of commercial disputes. But providers do deserve be paid for services rendered and it would be unfair to just stiff them.

> Greece was ahead of its time in philosophy and science

And some would say that, philosophically, while we have the potential benefit of hindsight and therefore the opportunity to exceed the Greeks (you just need to crack open the right books), our typical modern, academic philosophy, is in many ways, inferior to it.
Totally possible I misunderstood the legal details but the method I described is what people do to bring guns into the country. Just sharing anec-data. I appreciate the legal background knowledge though!
Using Matrix would mean:

* You get best practice audited (in the near future) end-to-end encryption

* You get decentralisation if your users want to host the stack themselves

* You get bridges to other systems (although not many FOSS voip bridges for Matrix exist today, admittedly)

* Similarly, you get an open standard API on which you and others can write bots/apps and other extensions to add new functionality, and benefit from the wider ecosystem

* You get some preexisting clients like Element Call to build on.
I believe, e.g. ZIO 2.next is doing something like this, dynamically deciding whether running something async or just doing the blocking thing depending on the availability of VThreads... but of course that's Scala, so YMMV.

Without a way to trampoline computation (or transform code appropriately) it's probably impractical to do anything like that.

(And of course, still many caveats as the sibling post points out.)
Odd. I have no issues with the client and it's miles better than any other client out there.
Interesting to see Google is still up to their old nonsense. I bought every Nexus phone but the Nexus 5 failed me really badly in my first overseas trip. Battery was constantly draining doing nothing, terrible bugs with the GPS module and right before I left I updated my non rooted stock OS to the latest version only to discover the hard way that they introduced a bug that completely broke video recording. I only discovered when I came back home and all my videos were filled with muddled audio. Ruined multiple priceless moments.

I had a friend on that trip have a perfectly working iPhone 5 throughout the trip and it finally got me to bite the bullet and try an iPhone. That led to me trying out a Mac and now I am completely in the Apple ecosystem after 15+ years of switching back and forth between Windows and Linux and probably never looking back. So thanks Google, you got me to abandon not only Android but also Windows/Linux. Hell after the LG Nexus 5 mess, I also avoid LG from now on.

I feel for your ex, I have three (3) in office visits covered by my insurance that are overdue as of August. I’ve had to go back and forth on the phone in a Kafka-hell to get my insurance to cover a covered visit because of some opaque clerical error (and I write medical insurance review software and I’m still confused as to who is to blame…). Insurance issued a payment last month finally, but the doctor has yet to recognize it so I still get reminders on being “late” for a bill I don’t ultimately owe.

I cannot imagine how infuriated I would be if I were being punished on my credit for someone else’s clerical error.
The Exercise Paradox [pdf]
British pet massacre
I think this project is a fantastic idea! I've toyed with the idea of writing a browser for years, but when I consider the amount of human-years that have gone into Firefox, Chrome, etc., I get scared and back off of it.

I wanted to give it a try, but it looks like main isn't building right now, so I'll check back periodically. Hopefully I will even find some time to contribute, as a Rust-based web browser sounds like a project I'd be interested in working on. One thing I'm a little bummed about is the license: I've gone back and forth on this topic a lot in the past couple decades, and more recently I have actually been releasing stuff under more permissive licenses like MIT. But if I were to work on a browser, I'd want to GPL that. For a work of that magnitude, someone forking it and making proprietary changes would be intolerable to me.

Regardless, I think there is absolutely room in the world for more than just ~2.5 dominant browser engines (Gecko, and Blink/WebKit, which I guess aren't the same any more, but have the same provenance, hence the extra 0.5). Sure, contributing to something that already exists would be "more efficient", but since when was efficiency a requirement for doing something that you believe matters?
I would be skeptical too if it was just a one time thing, but it wasn't. Around the same time as that HN comment, YouTube rolled out a redesign of their frontend that used the Polymer framework. At the time, Polymer depended on a deprecated web standard that was implemented in Blink and WebKit and used a polyfill elsewhere. This completely killed performance on Firefox and Edge. That isn't unsourced or anonymous information like the invisible div. You can search back and find people complaining on multiple forums that YouTube started running at a crawl out of nowhere and ID'ing Polymer as the culprit [1, 2, 3].

But I don't like tabs and don't understand dependencies so I'm going to invent an ad-hoc DSL full of footguns where everything's driven by magical, opaque 'plugins', call it "modern", and tell everyone to use that, instead.

/s

(I'm all for replacing Make with a tool that's more cross-platform, less dependent on the shell, and has nicer syntax for writing functions, etc, but somehow every 'Make replacement' that crashes through here seems to completely completely miss the point of Make, and instead just provides, at best, a badly-defined scripting language with language-specific package management. There's a reason Make keeps going.)
> Certainly, [free food] isn't for everyone, but for those in need. Why would we not extend similar policy to healthcare in a more efficient manner?

But we do have a similar system for healthcare! If you're poor enough you qualify for Medicaid [1], and if you don't qualify for Medicaid but your income is too low to afford the full price plans the ACA provides pro-rated subsidies.

It's not that different from SNAP, and both are a mix of working well and poorly.
