I think this is just a case of the APIs here supporting client ids and secrets so that users can control who uses the API on their behalf… but it being up to the API user to decide how much they care about who they share that client secret with.

If Thunderbird shared their Netflix password in here, that wouldn’t say anything about the quality of Netflix’s security implementation or the security value of Netflix passwords in general - it tells you Thunderbird don’t care about how their Netflix account gets used.

And in terms of the structural difference - this is of course a hardcoded credential used to identify this client to a service - the case at hand is about a hardcoded credential authentication embedded in a service, used to authenticate clients. We can distinguish those cases regulatorily.
It's called a capitalist economy; not a laborist one. What I've never understood is how this is a surprise to anyone or why labor chooses to vote against their interests.

I think video games will also emerge as critical psychological support when we’re far away in cramped, boring, costly quarters.

It's not incorrect to call them distorted sprites. They are. But they are also texture-mapped quads, because the two concepts are functionally identical. Sega explicitly pointed out this relationship in the documentation they sent out to developers.

And if you are in a discussion about if VDP1 is 3D capable or just advanced 2D hardware that clever programmers tricked into doing 3D, then it doesn't really matter what terminology Sega used.

It's misleading terminology because if the person you are talking to doesn't understand the functional equivalence between distorted sprites and texture-mapped quads, as the "sprite" terminology might lead them to assume it's 2D-only hardware.
Can confirm the hardware vendor that I work for does the same. root password is given and customers are asked to change. No one wants to. Heck I would prefer if they disabled root login completely and used keys instead. But thats now it is. Some customers even enable login from web with those passwords. The stupidity is crazy.

Israel isn't committing genocide in the Gaza strip. Lets not go there.

In fact, lets not blame the victims. Israel is defending themselves from aggressors and so I don't go far at all to consider their hasty response to the situation.

Next, "what palestinian territory?"

The british through blood, death and gore took that land. They formed Israel who has kept the land through blood, death and gore.

Did the palestianians take the land by force? Were they given land? Nope and Nope.
That's really cool! There certainly were times in the past when I'd wished something like this to be existant.

How sad, maybe he was ahead of his time. Nowadays it seems like the institutions (mainly governments at all levels) are slowly but intently waking up to the idea of supporting new companies being valuable for society.

> Not true. Jews purchased many of the lands during British and Ottoman rule. When Israel was formed the Palestinians were given the majority of the territories.

"The Jewish State allocated to the Jews, who constituted a third of the population and owned about 7% of the land, was to receive 56% of Mandatory Palestine, a slightly larger area to accommodate the increasing numbers of Jews who would immigrate there."

Nope. The only red flag I can see here is with the interviewee thinking this might be a red flag.

That's not even remotely true, as evidenced by many other comments on this submission.

A lot of people seem to think that HN has a consensus on various subjects, but I'd say a defining feature of HN is argumentation and lack of consensus.

No.

Not a flag, red, green or otherwise.

I'm not accusing you of doing this, but some people that are well versed in the cultural hacker scene constantly play out an obnoxious variation of this in the form of:

"You've never heard of X? Really? C'mon, X, the inventor of Y?"

It does not endear them to their colleagues.

I'm happy to talk about figures in computing with anyone else who shares a similar interest, but I make zero correlation of their competencies whether they know of a certain figure or not.
Not getting it. I mean, if Mac OS lets you configure scroll bars (and I haven't noticed a problem with the defaults so far either) that's much much more than can be said about gnome isn't it? Where gnome theming has gone from black magic in v3 to ... anathema in v4.
I disagree for a study on replication, as people having different interpretations is totally fine then but not really related to replication as such. Many valid answers here to the questions. They studied comprehensiveness or something like that (edit: and to some extent craftsmanship of sorts) .

Imagine in chemistry they had asked to synthesize a compound given a range of inputs and then see a variety of yields based on different synthesis approaches.

> YC will proudly tell you that you are more likely to end up with a billion dollar business if you join them. That may be true. What they’re more reluctant to tell you is that only about 50 companies met that expectation out of the 4,000 or so that went through their program. That’s 1.25%. To be fair, that’s actually quite impressive, but let’s say you have the stamina and willpower to go through YC three times in your lifetime. You’d need approximately 26 lifetimes to hit the jackpot! Aha! See the problem now?

Is this more of an indictment of VC-style funding in general?

Sapolsky's book Behave reads like a kind of map of the human brain, and gives really clear articulations of the function of parts and the behaviour that results. I read that book and ever since I think about it when I'm having a hard time with a UI problem or a relationship problem. It's like an operating manual for your own human self. If there was visuals alongside, that would be wonderful.
This doesn't seem like quite the same issue as the reproducibility problems in psychology, for instance. Researchers were presented with some data, and they came up with different analyses for it. That doesn't seem especially surprising—for a complex phenomenon, where you don't have a ton of data, and maybe the thing you're studying isn't very strong—yeah, you're going to get different results.

It's like people arguing over which sports team is better—the facts of the game are the facts of the game, but there's plenty of room for disagreement over what stats are most important, who has an easier season—and even if the two teams were to play each other directly, it's not always that the "better" team wins.

But the reproducibility crisis in social sciences seemed much deeper—one team would say that some effect exists, and other teams would try to reproduce the results and come up with nothing.

I pay for a frankly stupid amount of sports streaming services though. I wish there was a way I could watch everything I want without paying for FuboTV, DAZN, TSN+, and probably others I'm forgetting.
But how does that really relate to replication? What they found out is more like: with interpretability come different results.

Those ones who do not understand the brain is not a dweeb someone.

I would rather say that the claim that new brain atlases will unlock the secrets of the human mind is just as pretentious as the claim that the James Webb Telescope will unlock the secrets of what happens beyond the observable universe. I don't believe the mind problem is unsolvable but also I don't believe we have some crucial data missing. I believe we have collected too much noise and new data makes the situation worse in some sense.
They were providing root either way, the only change I assume was switching from the same root on all machines to a per-machine root password.

I can understand how that would be a pain in the ass if your legacy architecture (e.g. administration and reporting tooling, etc…) is predicated upon a unified root, you probably don’t even have a way to report the information so that machines and passwords could be paired.

Assuming a good way to provision keys is provided, I’d make the insecure unified root password into a paid option (with lots of warnings) the price of which would increase every year. This way the existing workflow of the customer keeps working short-term, but you CY the hell out of your A in case of breach at the customer’s, and at one point the line item will get large enough that the customer allocates time & money to fix their shit.

Hey! We (my co-founder and I) haven’t decided but we’re experimenting and exploring. Right now it’s 5% plus payment processing (Stripe) fees but that will be reevaluated based on what we need to keep the lights on.

Bandcamp’s fees were one of the many motivations to do this and I have a lot to say about them. I think there’s probably an approach that’s better at controlling costs while also helps folks who sell keep more of their money.

You'd set up a server where people have accounts, but publishing pre-prints is anonymous by default, and identities can be revealed later.

In the current peer review system, people already have to produce papers with those identifiers removed. They can do exactly the same in the pre-print world, can't they?
Wishful thinking. "Don't say we can't travel the stars, maybe someone will come up with FTL, you never know until your try, look at the wright brothers", etc.

At some points you have to stop trying stupid things.

Going "actually!" on people and acting like a dictionary is making me wonder if you are arguing in good faith.

Yes we are forced to work. If I stop paying for stuff I'll starve, nevermind the fact that I'll have to live outside.

I loathe reading stuff like this. Money is so important until you have it, and then it becomes fashionable to talk how there are more important things.

Cyclists very much use segregated bike lanes. The problem with most cities, mine included, is that the “segregated” bikes lines are segregated by a strip of paint on the ground. And have cars darting in and out all the time. Or people park in them, or put out their trash, or have major potholes.

Or, if they are actually separated, they don’t go everywhere people would need to go.

The safest 3000lb piece of metal and glass is the one that doesn’t exist. Car companies need to stop advertising fairy tales to buyers to get them to buy bigger and bigger cars, and need to start advertising (lobby) to cities to have them start banning cars out of. Ore and more of the city.

As long as our cities stay designed with the primacy of cars in mind, we’ll at best be duct tapping solutions for everyone else.

And finally, “in an addressable way by auto makers, when it’s the buyers demanding larger and larger vehicles”.

A) this is not inevitable, it is North America that’s dominated by a want of giant cars. And why? Because the roads and culture are designed specifically to accommodate them.

B) the car manufacturers are still responsible for making them, and it’s not like they’re sitting around saying “darn, well it looks like people want big cars, guess we will have to make some bigger cars”. No, they are actively pushing and advertising bigger cars.

Too bad ROM was expensive those days. If a language with a nice balance between expressiveness and performance (say Lisp, Forth, Pascal, maybe Lua or even Java) had been embedded in the machine's ROM, then many programs could contain just their core functionality. While having all the machine's capabilities easily accessible (and maybe some standard library of often-used functions).

As opposed to containing implementations of various interpreters, VMs etc, as described here (and functions that 100s of other programs implemented as well).

Or even better: a selection of languages, letting programmers pick or even mix & match for various parts of the program.

Even today "big ROM, small RAM" is common (eg. in uC's). With flash offering extra flexibility for the 'ROM' part.

But the limitations of the day made many (system) ROMs little more than a glorified boatloader + some low level I/O code. If you were lucky, with an easy to learn but slow language like (interpreted!) BASIC.
Each competition authority has their own criteria.

But in this case, it will meaningfully reduce competition. For some reason UK's CMA only considered cloud gaming, which is a weird fixation. Maybe because it's an emerging market?

If all Activison Blizzard games become Xbox exclusive will reduce competition and screw consumers, yet that was dropped as a concern for who knows what reason.

What I'm trying to say is that this approach prevents developers from effectively working with the tools their projects rely on to function.

I.e. be it Ant, Maven or Cradle, in order to carry out project-related tasks they will rely on files. They feed files to various tools, create new ones, delete or move old files, and then the deployed project needs to discover those files somewhere and so on.

When a programmer doesn't understand how what they are presented with in their editor maps to whatever any of those tools do you get questions like: "Where is my Java home?" or "I want to debug in the testing environment, can you tell me where is it?" or "I think I've built my program, and I want to patch the existing deployment with the program I've built -- how do I find the program I've built and where is it deployed?". Not to mention more trivial stuff like developers arguing about having / not having access to eg. Protobuf files in their project because someone's editor not having a plugin to open them and they simply don't know how to find their project directory on their computer... or trying to run poorly written Maven build which has some relative paths in it, from a wrong directory.
It's not just that it "requires maintenance". The maintenance itself is duplicated effort, which is often not done well.

So you spend countless hours converting a perfectly acceptable language (code), into "plain english". The result is often so poor, and no better than the code, that nobody uses it (for good reason). Then what's the point of keeping the doc? so you just have these old relics, ancient books that provide no insight whatsoever, but nobody wants to delete.

IME a lot of older engineers are still stuck on this fantasy that we're going to eventually do all engineering "in plain english". Some of these ideas have thankfully died off, but 10-20 years ago, lot of these people were running amok making crazy demands that everything read like a book. Do technical work without doing it, basically.

This is a pipedream that's existed as long as software. Maybe we'll get there someday, but it seems like some things are moving more technical and less "intuitive". For instance, many of the same older engineers seemed to assume we'd stop using the command line.

It seems that most of us have abandoned this, but I've encountered a few that assumed we'd just be passed this by now. I can't completely fault them for this instinct.

He shouldn't be wasting time learning from professors who have never done anything real and have lived in an academic insulated bubble for decades.
