I think this is the email i got that led me to believe extensions were dead:

Now: You can no longer create new paid extensions or in-app items. This began as a temporary restriction in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 situation. This change is now made permanent.
December 1, 2020: Free trials are disabled. The "Try Now" button in CWS will no longer be visible, and in-app free trial requests will result in an error.
February 1, 2021: Your existing items and in-app purchases can no longer charge money with Chrome Web Store payments. You can still query license information for previously paid purchases and subscriptions. (The licensing API will accurately reflect the status of active subscriptions, but these subscriptions won’t auto-renew.)
At some future time: The licensing API will no longer allow you to determine license status for your users.

>Though I struggle not to be equally suspect than this is also just hopeful thinking.

I think we all do. Certainly, I struggle with that as well. I think this is an inherent property of undecidable questions (contrary to most well-formed scientific theories, which are valuable precisely because they can distinguish themselves from hopeful thinking).

Here's something to consider: some kind of hopeful thinking may be a fundamental psychological need. When I saw the title of this HN post, I had thought that perhaps this was the question that ketamine researchers were considering, but alas not.

"Cows are mammals" means: Array($mammals).includes($cows).

It does not mean $cows === $mammals.

"A is a B" Or "A's are B's" means that A is included in B.

$a === $b ("A is B") implies that $b === $a (B is A), in all cases that I know of.

I could almost agree, but for at least one aspect: 90% or more of today's SPA web apps are just glorified information pages, that do not need any React, Vue, Angular or Svelte. That is where the hype train shows. They could just as well be way simpler in design, and avoid having to reimplement (through a dependency or not) the back button. Many cases for actually multi page apps, that are needlessly implemented as SPA with additional router BS and tons of dependencies and a heavy framework, rather than simply going for server side rendered template and being done with it. This comes mostly pushed by frontend developers, who want their shiny framework of choice to be relevant everywhere. A job guarantee.

I earn 1/3 of that per year; My gross pay is less than $40,000/yr. If a "typical home" is too expensive for you to afford, the easiest, most commonsense answer is to move to LCOL with "atypical homes". Housing prices will fall in densely populated areas accordingly.

I'm in my 20s. I own my home and car. I make enough to pay my bills, live comfortably, and still have money being put towards savings and investments. I couldn’t support a family on my salary, but I can support myself just fine, with money left over.

Yes, you will take a pay cut. Yes, the work may be different. But you have work/life balance, housing is affordable and a realistic goal for young people, and every time you drive past a stranger on a gravel country road, they always wave at you. The people are literally golden-retriever-level friendly and very wholesome.

And the food? Oh my god, don’t get me started on the food! Forget having lots of restaurant options, because you won’t need ‘em. We’ve got little old Baptist ladies, and they want their food to send you straight to heaven. I once mentioned offhandedly that I’ve been craving chicken and dumplings, and the next day, a little old lady at work brought in an empty 1-gallon ice cream container of fresh chicken and dumplings. You can’t beat southern hospitality!

I realize uprooting your life and moving from the city to a rural area isn’t a realistic thing for many, if not most, people, but I promise you that if you can, your life will be better because of it.
While it may be the same abrahamic god, there is a distinction. In Christianity, god/deus/yahweh is a proper name. In Islam, Allah is from al-Ilah - The God. It’s a label rather than a name, and the linguistic distinction affects the available worldviews.
This is not completely correct. Allah is a name as much as it is a "type". One of the things Arabs will point out is that Allah is "special" because it cannot be pluralized and hence is a better name for the monotheistic God than English God or Persian Khuda (which can be).

I'm a non-arabic speaking Muslim who prefers in non-liturgical context to use Khuda and have occasionally been "corrected" by well meaning folk.

Yes, because the current set of of homeowners includes people from many different years and therefore hole buying difficulties. It’s not very relevant to compare it to a figure for how currently difficult it is to buy a home.
I don't doubt that you've had "a pretty long career," but I wish you had spent a moment Googling before posting this take.

You might be from another country, but in the US there are very generous tax credits (better than deductions) for people with children. It doesn't make children free or profitable, but it's unfair to say "society doesn't care".
If it helps, the tendency is to shift software development to other countries. It’s reached a stage like manufacturing in many aspects - including worker rights, status and job satisfaction and is about to be decimated in a similar fashion. Probably better than looking for a SE job in the west at the moment. In case you haven't noticed there are job cuts, people barely afford housing, crime is on the rise, and so on.

> A notable incident of controversial photo manipulation occurred over a photograph that was altered to fit the vertical orientation of a 1982 National Geographic magazine cover. The altered image made two Egyptian pyramids appear closer together than they actually were in the original photograph.[30] The incident triggered a debate about the appropriateness of falsifying an image,[31] and raised questions regarding the magazine's credibility. Shortly after the incident, Tom Kennedy, director of photography for National Geographic stated, "We no longer use that technology to manipulate elements in a photo simply to achieve a more compelling graphic effect. We regarded that afterward as a mistake, and we wouldn't repeat that mistake today."[31]

I use telegram mostly for chats to public groups that anyone can join anyway. So the end to end point is kinda moot. Same with IRC for example. This is why nobody complains about it not having that.
I stayed in IT, so it was not a massive career change, but I went from being a Unix systems administrator to being an Android programmer.

Advice? It took longer to get a job as an SWE than I had anticipated. I kind of stumbled into being a Unix sysadmin way back when and didn't give much thought into getting my first SWE job paying a real salary.

In hindsight I would have paid more attention to college internships (although I don't know what companies make of someone 30+ on an internship). I was enthusiastic about Android when it came out, and at this point I'm happy I focused on it, but if I had been studying Javascript and React instead of Java and Android I might have gotten a job sooner. Also, I was doing my own projects and did not think to work for some small company for low pay, but eventually I did - I made a little money, got a little experience and had something to put on my resume and talk about in interviews - and I was upfront with them that I was not planning to stay for many years (I wound up staying about a year and eight months, longer than I had anticipated).

So my advice would be to think about how you're going to get that first job on the career path, beyond the idea that you'll go to college (or training) and study hard. I went to college and studied hard, and even was doing a lot of my own projects as well, but in retrospect it took longer to get that first job with a decent salary than I had anticipated.

"It worked once" is a very results oriented approach.

If you look only at people who won the lottery, you'd have to be an idiot not to spend all your money on lottery tickets. How many times has someone done this and lost all their money, screwed over thousands of people, and never been heard of again? We don't know, because they aren't famous, but my suspicion is it's a much more common outcome.
Can't believe we are still dealing with this in 2023.
That was the original reason. Back in my day we had interactive Flash ads that could run basically any code they wanted while flashing bright lights and scantily clad women at you. One of the major reasons we had ad blockers was because it was so easy to get a virus from a malicious ad.
I make open source code for myself. I've done several minor "contributions" to different open source projects.

Three examples:

- Linux mint start menu isnt able to perform basic numerical computations. I made some simple changes to be as ble to do that, and made a PR.

- A Mint desklet showing pics didn't show the file location, I added that functionality. Pr done as well

- A Mint tray icon Applet for crypto was missing some functionality I wanted (dont remember what). I added it and made a PR.

The first two PRs were rejected for whatever reasons. The last one was accepted and merged.

I couldn't care less about the first two, I made the code for me and it works for me. I just put it there in case the owners found it useful. If not, I dont care.

Nobody is getting paid to do open source, there may be people who like the "fame", but myself? I just want to solve my problems.
From Census.gov:

> Renter-occupied housing units increased at over twice the rate of owner-occupied housing units.

> Between 2010 and 2020, renter-occupied units grew from 40.7 million units to 46.8 million units, a growth rate of 14.8 percent. Over the same period, owner-occupied units increased 5.4 percent, from 76.0 million owner-occupied units to 80.1 million units.

> Renter-occupied housing units also increased at a faster rate than owner-occupied units between 2000 and 2010,when the nation experienced a 14.2 percent increase in rental units and an 8.8 percent increase in owner-occupied units.

> Since 2000, renter-occupied units increased 31.1 percent, while owner-occupied units increased 14.7 percent.

> The 2020 homeownership rate [63.1%] was the lowest it has been since 1970.

Very much this! Additionally when discussing ketmaine it's method of action (NMDA receptor antagonist) specifically could be disrupted by the effects of another anesthetic compound.
I worked as a freelance translator from age 28 to 48, when I was offered a faculty position at a university. There would be a big drop in income and I was hesitant about cutting contacts with several clients I had worked for for years, but the offer came at just the right time in my life: the kids were nearly out of school, the house was almost paid off, and translation, while still paying well, had gradually become less interesting to me. The university job was only for a fixed term at first, but I took it because it seemed more stimulating. I also figured that, if my contract wasn't renewed, I could always return to freelancing and build a new set of clients.

The university job worked out in the end. I got tenure after a few years, and I had many more opportunities to learn and to interact with interesting people than if I had continued as a freelancer. I retired from the university earlier this year at the age of 65.

Looking back, I am glad I made that change when I did. But I still remember how nervous I was the day in September 2005 when I emailed my long-term translation clients and told them I couldn't accept work from them anymore.
Ah I see. So the answer really is just VC/FAANG funding then. Indeed, GitHub stars is effective in that case.

The whole idea of foundation models is such an obvious ploy to either get citations by reputable labs or as the foundation (no pun) for a legal framework that lets big companies and no one else license their models.
arXiv is a great resource. At least in my field (Programming Languages, but I imagine it applies to most if not all of Computer Science) it seems like most papers are on arXiv.

I see no reason to not make papers free. Most things cost money because either they're material themselves, or cost money/material to produce which needs to be somehow recouped. But papers cost almost $0 to distribute and are created with grants which get funded by the results and discoveries themselves.

At least two ex-Convoy employees have posted in this thread saying they are "extremely unsurprised" that this happened, and could see it coming.

Handwaving away things like you have doesn't add value - many of us have worked at startups, and the warning signs are common and repeated. A handwaving dismissal along the lines of "plenty of companies have turned things around at the last moment, running on fumes, so it would have been irresponsible for Convoy to do anything but run it to zero!" is disingenuous, fatuous or both.

My gf last year had a Tumblr account that was banned for unknown reasons. I finally got hold of someone in the C-Suite to look at it and they said they couldn't do anything because when you get banned they delete all the data that caused the ban, so there was nothing to review?

They make the tax code complicated so they can leverage it.

This is why they can't get Trump on tax issues. Trump pays the best tax people to cover him. If they nailed Trump on anything they'd have to nail a lot of other people too, who are otherwise untouchable.

A flat tax would work just fine, except for all the people in the tax industry that is. You just level the flat tax until you get the equivalent revenue from the current scheme.

I believe it's mainly because of the requirements for

(1) integration with a single GC (the one in the browser), and

(2) zero-copy inter-op with JavaScript strings.

If you take them as axioms, those pretty much force you to put strings as a native type in WASM. They can't really be done as libraries.

Not sure if it helps, but I wrote about my experience writing a GC here, and the "reality sandwich" metaphor:

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/01/garbage-collector.html

https://lobste.rs/s/v5ferx/scheme_browser_hoot_tale#c_n87bzw

https://lobste.rs/s/v5ferx/scheme_browser_hoot_tale#c_mw6tfx

The sandwich has:

(1) the mutator's view on one side

(2) the single bit representation of data types in the middle

(3) the GC's view on the other side

Basically a bunch of people thought that you could just have one half of the sandwich -- you could just have the GC, and use whatever data types you want.

Implementing a GC will disabuse you of that notion (ESPECIALLY a GC that runs remote, untrusted code, but it's true for any GC.)

The core data types and the GC are tightly coupled, and the GC already lives in the browser.

So WASM necessarily gives you the WHOLE sandwich -- both data types and the GC. Fundamentally, it can't do anything else.

But that means that the data types are a huge design compromise -- there are winners and losers. Now you have a MAPPING problem from every language to WASM types.

---

As a concrete example, I mentioned that Go has slices, which are reference types, and they have pointers to anywhere in a string.

This means the GC has to be able to find the head of a string from an interior pointer, which is hard in general.

So, without being very close to WASM GC, I suspect Go will be a loser in this respect (it will perform less well), simply because JS GC's don't have to deal with interior pointers.

Every design decision involves winners and losers -- "universal VM" is a bit of a fallacy.

---

Strings are another area where there are winners and losers -- UTF-16 means JS/Java perform better, but UTF-8 means other languages perform better.

Although this stringref proposal is interesting because it tries not to be biased -- it tries to develop an API that can be implemented with both UTF-8 or UTF-16 representations. Still, it's very hard problem and involves deep compromises.
I was 29 when I got my first job writing code. Before that I was a wildland firefighter and then a carpenter. I taught myself to code at night over the course of 2 years. Got an MS in Data Science a few years after that. Now I’m doing software engineering, data engineering, and data science in a domain I’m super interested in. So it worked out really well. I’m pretty much right where I wanted to be when I wrote my first line of JavaScript at 27. My advice is to totally immerse yourself as much as possible in whatever field you’re trying to get into and start to think of yourself as someone who is already a part of that community.
State employees get pension. The pay raises are guaranteed every year. No risk of layoffs. If you started early, you can retire by early 50s. The pensions are worth a ton and stability is guaranteed for retirement. I read a recent article, Govt employee, about 120Kish in income, can retire at 52 years with really good pension, the equivalent of having 6 million in the bank.

So they delete everything they have under your name and the lab retains a copy of your sample and the sample results?

On paper, this is sufficient because a sample + results is no more useful to someone nefarious then a piece of hair found on the ground...

It only becomes a problem if they fail to delete any identifying information that could connect it to you...
