Thank you!

> Anyway, I don't know that saying "I'm team Sonos" or "I'm team Google" helps a discussion in the first place. I'd discuss the thing on merits

I agree! For the record, I didn't say either of those things :) Apologies, but I don't see team or identifying with either.
Sorry if I missed it.

> Sonos' patent claims as having been universally defended by people, that may have been seen from behind a certain filter or bubble

I'm guessing it was "universally" that inspired you: apologies, I definitely did not mean everyone, not even everyone on the internet, not even everyone on HN! Just a throwaway word in a flow of typing: brains are weird like that.

It means a lot to me that someone put in so much effort to make sure to understand there wasn't a false dichotomy here. You're, no exaggeration, a hero for standing up when people do this. Drives me nuts too.

FWIW, you didn't have to put in that much work, as short as "Universally?" would have sufficed. (apologies if I misunderstand: I'm not sure exactly what led to the strong, helpful, contribution, but I'm assuming that the root was 'universally')
you just have to refuse to accept input like 'I don't buy it', 'I tried something like that before and it was a failure', 'thats a code smell', 'I saw a blog post about how that is an anti pattern', and other unsubstantiated disses on an approach. if its so bad, you should really be able to put some real words behind that.
Yet only 5% of said units registered with the city as apartments so far. They'll have to crack sooner or later. It seems like a drop in the bucket for rentals in NYC, but this is a huge win for residents quality of life. Hopefully this is the beginning of people taking back more of what was stolen over the last decade through regulatory disregard by VC money.

When I got my riding lawn mower, they told me to make sure I varied my pattern.

I didn't, and after about a year and a half, I started to notice that I formed ruts in my lawn where I always followed the same path.

That mower looks very, very heavy. I would fear that always following the same pattern, or the same few patterns, would leave ruts and other visible patterns.
Or it makes development slower due to lack of documentation, support, and libraries for the chosen technology.
GraphQL basically a layer that hides data federation from the client.
That's an idiosyncratic usage of left/right leaning.
If it helps that CS app was rewritten about 10 years ago (when I worked there, but not on that app) in part due to the complaints you mention. It's totally true that most resources were spent on customer facing apps. Internal apps were definitely not of the same quality, because they didn't need to be.
Depends on the stage:

Seed stage. Focus on engineering and talking to customers. Ignore everything else. Do the sales and marketing work yourself till $1M in ARR at least. Many startups fail since they try to hire for these essential roles and its rare for non-founders to take it from 0 to 1.

A/B round stage. Build an in-house recruiting team early. I scaled to 150 people too fast over at Stream, next time i'd take more time with hiring. I'd also recommend doing final interviews with everyone yourself, don't let the company hire people without you interviewing them. Be on top of MQL definitions when you scale marketing, otherwise things will go wrong. Sales enablement is essential when you get beyond 3 AEs. Read Saastr :)

A bit disappointed that Lit SSR is still considered experimental.

Most frontend frameworks/libs are (understandbly) still in their boring client-side bubble but actual full stack solutions like Phoenix Liveviews or Laravel Livewire are so much more interesting IMO.

I would welcome a future where Proton is the target environment for game development.

I never thought about it that way, but I can see this as a possibility based on how you framed it. Have an upvote.
Hah, yeah, we have a number of microservices implemented with golang. As 'clunky' as the language can feel sometimes the tooling is first class.
Huh - the idea of training a model for conflict resolution is really interesting. For code, for instance, given the massive dataset that Github has of how merge conflicts were resolved in real codebases... I could see the possibility of a "non-interactive-by-default" type of developer tooling where your feature branch is getting live-updated in the background from the develop/main branch as you code, and where large refactors are no more difficult than working in two distinct parts of the codebase. Definitely food for thought!
What they did is that they filed a provisional application in 2006. This is not a patent, it is just a simple way of saying "I did this". This way, you can release your invention and apply for an actual patent later without the risk of having it rejected for prior art. A provisional application doesn't grant you exclusivity, only the right to file a patent later, where later normally means less than a year.

Then Sonos filed a patent in 2018 based on that provisional application, well after that reasonable 1 year delay. By the time, the industry has built something based on that 2006 non-patent.

Essentially, Sonos tried to patent the thing retroactively.
There's a wonderful group that meets every Saturday to practice and discuss: https://tasshin.com/metta-squad/

Yeah, I'm also heavily ranting. My nick is meant as a hint haha. In the end and after quite a few years we're almost at a point where we love to work with our stack, minus the occasional weird funky thing happening because of the ecosystem (which would never happen in something like Go for example!). Hexagonal + Kotlin + Gradle multi-modules is a beast!

> My pain point was usually related to the differences you need to do among Java, Groovy, Kotlin but otherwise it is awesome.

Yup, agreed! We got to run kotlin pretty nice and got to play it together nicely with gradle convention plugins.

Agreed on Python. Was my first properly learned language back in the days and my first backend lang. Absolutely annoying. I also love go, but it lacks something like gradle, especially multi-module support. I love it but don't see it on a scale as our Kotlin codebase.

> engineers are cheaper to hire

I think there's also the benefit of an exotic language. You might only get 10 CVs, but you could probably hire half of them because only passionate people bother to look into exotic things. With java you have a bigger bandwidth ... which causes a lot of work.
I'll preface with saying I'm not too familiar with the technology, but I don't really get web components, everything I've seen online says they're a bad API and abstraction. Does Lit fix those issues? Genuinely curious as I haven't used Lit or WC before, I've been mainly working with React.

Unsigned arithmetic is useful for wrapping clocks, like interrupt tick counters and whatnot. There is always some current value, "now". There is a range of it defined as the future. Everything outside of that range is considered past. Timers are never set farther into the future beyond the range, and are expired in a timely way so that unexpired timers never recede sufficiently far into the past that they appear to flip to the future. One way of doing it is to just cut the range in half: take the difference between two times t1 - t0 and cast it to the same-sized signed type. If the difference is positive, then t1 is in the future relative to t0. If negative, t1 is in the past relative to t0.

This is one of those niche uses of unsigned.

You probably want to hide it behind an API, where the domain is opaque and abstract and you have function such as a time_before(t1, t0) predicate.

I have never encountered a scenario where "boring" meant "popular".
It's an advantage because you as a botnet client have made the server side do extra work. You sent two packets, one to request a new connection, and a second to immediately cancel the request. The server on the other hand sees a connection request and does some work like allocating memory and fetching the resource you requested. Once the server starts sending the response back to the client via the reverse proxy, the reverse proxy notices the request is no longer current and just drops the response on the floor. As a result, you made the server do some amount of work and you don't have to worry about saturating your internet connection. They call this a magnification attack because for the cost of two requests you made the server do some multiple of work.

You could add some smarts to the server or reverse proxy that delays starting work in case a cancellation request quickly arrives. This is probably part of the mitigation work they refer to in the article.
Thanks for sharing Kill Sticky!

Piracy is depriving the content owner the value of their creation. I don't understand how people justify piracy vs just not watching the content. It is clear there is value derived by watching (or you wouldn't consume the content), and you are not paying the owner, you are in fact taking from the owner.
False flag? :)
I hate that I have to use this boated app for the sole purpose of changing my DPI. It's obnoxious.
My team wrote some of the Python libraries for internal services just so we could avoid that Java sidecar! It took 10 times longer to boot the sidecar than the Python app.
The difference here is between code that is intelligent, and the text version of autotune.

And again, I ask you to put your money where your mouth is. If you are willing to assume I wasn't able to harness its intelligence, please prove me wrong.

There is nothing I would really want more, than to have genuinely autonomous systems.

My point at the start, and now is that by using Human terms to examine this phenomenon leads people to assume things about what is going on.

Testing and Evidence are what reason is built on. Asking someone to follow the scientific method, I would hope does not construe boorishness on my part.
I'm not saying annotations are bad though, I'm saying Spring's over-reliance on them makes the code harder to follow. Some of those annotations are actually done at compile-time via Lombok, which makes it even harder to know what the hell is happening.

Decorators and annotations are essentialy higher-order functions and higher-order classes, but there is nothing about them that makes it intuitive. They actually become quite difficult to write and much harder to debug, OOP's shit version of a monad.

This is absurd. The Baltic is the most heavily monitored body of water on earth. It would be captured plain as day on satellite, radar, and acoustic data if this was done from the surface. The only possibility is submarine sabotage, of which Russia maintains the most advanced known capabilities in the world, and is the only such entity with a possible motive.

I think I shipped my first production GraphQL server around this time 8 years ago, but by all accounts it was in use at Facebook a couple of years before it was opened up. So overall ~10 years old sounds right, though the released spec is a little different to the internal version that predates it.

Well, a 3500 diesel is all of $100k today (if you're getting 4 door, dually). I personally wouldn't spend that kind of cash unless I needed such a thing (like, to pay my bills with, not pull an RV or something). And if I was paying my bills with it, I'd make sure I keep it one the road, one way or the other.
> "OpenGL is deprecated, learn Vulkan"

Unfortunately this is partially true unless we get more OpenGL updates. OpenGL doesn't support hardware ray tracing and some other newer features that are only supported in Vulkan\D3D12.
When you have something to offer to your prospective hire.

If you're offering valuable experience or actual pay then I don't see how it could be too early. On the other hand if you just want someone to clean up after you and restock the soap dispenser maybe you should be looking at outsourcing or hiring pwrmanent talent instead.

One thing about legal and financial is that there is more accreditation and industry guardrails around them - HR too to a lessor degree. I think this makes it easier to get to "this person can definitely do the work" than some other functions.

Yeah. The comment I'm replying to sounded like they're wanting to still use the AM4 platform. Maybe I misread it, or they've adjusted the post for clarity in the meantime. :)

My reading of the ruling[0] is that Sonos lied to the patent examiner, and claimed that all of the new material had been in the application since 2006 rather than having been just inserted.

> On Sonos’s representation that its amendment to the specification and figures contained no new matter, the patent examiner allowed the amendments to the
applications for the patents in suit

(They then proceeded to lie about this to the judge in the original trial as well.)

None of them are comparable. The density of Tokyo system is just 10x of anything else. You basically can get to any point in the city with a 30min trainride + 10 min walk, barely any waiting at all even with multiple connections.

I just lived in Tokyo for a year, and if good public transit was a main criteria for a place to live, Tokyo would be number 1 for me without a question.

> Valve has additional reason to care because they view Linux as insurance against anti-competitive behavior from Microsoft. Clearly they don't feel the same way about Macs (makes sense, because their Windows customers could more readily switch to Linux than Macs).

Agreed, and I think that's quite wise. When it comes to escaping tight-reigned dictators that can threaten your business, Apple is out of the frying pan an into the fire. Imagine if they invested heavily into macs and then Apple required all mac software to go through their store (with 30% cut of course) like they do on iOS? That would be disastrous
People don't want to pay for convenience and features. Look at how many people are screaming about the price of the services out there. Streaming services provide a ton of content and it is all pretty easy to use. The problem the studios have is that people are used to below market pricing for content as a side revenue but their side revenue ate away their main stream revenue.
If you're doing much of anything with RDF, I consider SKOS pretty much essential. The group of concepts it provides for defining relationships between things is useful in almost any context.
We're working on it. It's a bigger challenge for us because part of the reason people use Lit is for interoperable components, so our SSR solution can't be a silo: it needs to integrate with other framework's SSR systems.

That's why we're working on packages like @lit-labs/ssr-react and @lit-labs/nextjs. SSR is in Labs still because it's APIs may need to change to support those integrations.

The autonomous safety features are a bad idea. By trying to detect objects and stop, they introduce several problems:

1) The system has to successfully detect an object. If this system fails, it will still run over whatever was in the way.

2) The system has to successfully ignore detections which were false positives. When this system fails, the machine will just stop working, which may require a remediation which may cost more than the labor needed to pilot the vehicle.

3) The assumption that the vehicle is safe to operate autonomously because it has safety features will create a lack of concern for safety around the vehicle. This lowered level of concern will result in an increased number of incidents when the safety systems fail, as people will have been operating under the assumption that they won't fail.

4) In the worst case, if the safety systems fail often, they will be disabled (if possible), leading people to believe the system might still be somewhat safe, but unbeknownst to them it's completely unsafe.

It would actually be safer to have no safety systems at all. That way everyone has to assume that the vehicle is unsafe, and therefore they will need to implement their own safety procedures, such as closing off the field it's being used in and not allowing anyone nearby into the field. This conscious fear of the device, combined with a conscious attempt to secure the area, will keep people safer.
