So in that case, the news organizations should just not allow Google to index their sites. Who do you think that’s going to hurt more - Google or the news orgs?

We already know the answer from other countries where Google was forced to share ad revenue or not index the papers.

Seems likely. Your chip underperforms? Just block people from using benchmarking apps, and also tell the press you never cared about speed. Problem solved.
Note the owner of a SRV record is a service name not a host name.

There are a few reasons for this oddity: partly so it matches with DANE for MX records, partly to support large scale virtual hosting without reissuing certificates.

You should be able get a cert with subject names covering the server host name(s) and the service name(s).
Leaks aren't too common and water content isn't a problem unless you're doing extended braking (e.g. going down a long and steep mountain ). The water content only really matters if you heat the brake fluid up enough to boil the water in it.
Ticketmaster also owns a lot of venues through Live Nation and also owns a lot of the venues labor through Crew Nation. Fortunately for the latter they have not been wildly successful at busting the IATSE union in union venues.
It's fatty. Check.

Not every developer.

I'm not trying to be snarky. I think there's an unhelpful compunction to want to know everything about everything among STEM types like programmers (of which I am one). Specialization is fundamental to the success, not just of whole economies, but of the individuals in them. It can feel like a paintful sacrifice to admit that you'll never (have time to) learn, say, the entire Python language specification, or how type inference works, or any number of other things someone might tell you is critical knowledge. But it's often liberating, and more often than that, mandatory.

(Maybe I was trying to be a little snarky initially, but I'm not any more.)
If you disarm everyone, you effectively give every criminal a 30 min window to do everything they want and leave, including extortion. Or, have a police state with a 1 police station for every house.

Extortion is the fertilizer of organized crime.

When taking this into consideration, Jon's argument is equivalent to flatulence.

If the police are the regulars, the citizens are the Minutemen. A scalable, ubiquituous force ready to act at a minute's notice.
30-40+/-% of refined oil is gasoline. So if you need to refine oil for jet fuel, heating oil, plastics, pavement and/or the 100s of other products we use everyday, then you are stuck with gasoline. Need to solve the 100s of other equally significant challenges as well.
> younger people are enculturated to believe that the foundations that they are standing on represent some sort of inviolate physics and not just some technical decision someone made 20 years ago.

This is simply not my experience of young people or of being young. There's a reason why radical movements are led and populated largely by the young—to the extent they err, it's on the side of "let's tear it all down and start over".
You are the dangerous one, because you want to gatekeep this technology.
All of them? Maybe its just me but I don't want political propaganda from an entity I don't control. It's just as bad as if george soros was paying for the ads. There is elections next year for the ceremonial EP, and i bet that most voters don't even know the names of EP parties. Because it doesn't matter.

The EP and the EC don't need an advertising budget, just like how national governments don't need it (and the data shows they don't spend on it) - because they are judged by their outcome.
Well, in that case the newspapers should be able to offer something of enough value to get people to pay for it.
Oh, yes. I’m not saying there’s a clearcut winner here, only that you have to carefully compare each offering.
Yeah, I wanted to pay a contractor in cash. The amount was under $1,000. The bank would not allow me to take that much out without calling them a day or two in advance.

Why is it so easy to find people in this industry who don't care that users can't trust their own computers (or, by extension, anything they own with a computer in it, which is quickly becoming everything)?

If I select some text and press Ctrl+C, it should copy the text I selected. The user intent is obvious. There's no excuse for the ability to hijack the clipboard to exist in the first place.

Web pages shouldn't be able to modify my selection. Why is there even an API for this?

The web ecosystem (including browsers) turned straight up malicious like 15 years ago, and users became nothing more than a product for everyone involved. That cancer has even metastasized and spread to the OS or even products that people pay thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for. I don't know how people who think that way can live with themselves.

The takeaway is that any analysis that suggests gas cars are better, at the very least, assumes that gasoline exists in pools just under gas stations. But gas is mined, just like lithium, and gas cars require 100s of tonnes, instead of 100s of pounds.

>micro-optimized to extract more profit out of customers at their expense

Why would that be a bad thing? Cases where corporation win, customers lose, are newsworthy because they're so much rarer than the mundane and taken for granted state of affairs where corporations make money by helping customers. Are your best examples of times that technological progress hurt us TV and the internet? They clearly helped a great deal, on net.
> Ignoring everything else

This is the problem with these kind of discussions. You cannot ignore everything else because everything else depends on 2 versus 4 days as well. Something that's done in 2 days can be exponentially worse than something done in 4 days such that in 6 months you can look back and rationally determine it was better to do it in 4 days.
Ask HN: What do you think of this GA4 Extention
I got the idea of a single platform with features around GA4 and I am very curious what you think about those and if it would be valuable enough to get 100 paying clients.

The goal is to make a platform that has the data of GA4 central, meaning that it drives the business. Goal setting, notifying you when you're on or off track, sharing issues and insights on what's working and what's not working.

Features would be:
- automatic ga4 audit
- GDS dashboards
- Anomality alerts to Slack
- Add issues or improvements to Asana
- Automatic data analysis that tells you how to improve conversion rate, what campaigns work or what segments does not
- Predictive analysis that shows a forecast of the results
- Competitive benchmarks
- Goal tracking
- GDPR compliance
- ChatGPT 4 prompts

All you really need is the brake fluid, a standard sized syringe, and a rag. I was concerned about this when putting together my first hydraulic brakes, but it turned out not to be any more complicated than cables. It's annoying but definitely worth it for the power of hydraulics.
For those also curious as I was, some numbers: 4k is ~8 megapixels. 8k is ~35MP. 12k is ~80MP. 18k is ~170MP. Except for Big Sky the resolution is not 2:1 aspect ratio like DCI or other formats, it's 1:1 18k, so that's 340MP.

Big Sky is shooting 120FPS at 10-bit (or 60FPS at 12 bit). That's 408Gbps/51GBps.

A RX 7700 XT has 432Gbps memory bandwidth and a 4070 504Gbps... maybe that could render this? Unless you need to both write to memory and then read from it to render, and now you are up to a flagship RX7900 XTX or 4090 (960/1008Gbps). Which with their 24GB memory can fit a whopping 0.47s of video in memory.

Now consider the NVMe storage array you ll need to get video at 408Gbps. PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives can supposedly hit 14GBps, so "only" 4 drives going full tilt should be adequate to let you play this back at realtime speeds.
Suppose someone is a relatively well versed professional but they have a hole in their understanding…They don’t know X - where X is HTTP verbs or linear algebra or Assembly or the difference between Java and JavaScript or how to write vanilla JavaScript in general…

All of computing is layering abstractions and no one - no one - understands all of them. The author cherry-picks their own favorite layers as being “what kids these days don’t understand” while ignoring their own ignorance of other layers.

I'm rather biased because I am a Roblox dev who's also contributed to Luau and its tooling environment.

I would generally recommend Luau over Lua in most cases. If you don't need the simplicity that Lua provides (C is a lot easier to compile than C++), there's no contest to me, especially for game development.

LuaJIT is great, but if you plan to ship to mobile or console, you can't use JIT. You could use its FFI library, but that's the only real advantage.

Luau, however, has a bunch. Its interpreter as often as fast as LuaJIT's interpreter (without JIT), it's improved weekly with a variety of optimizations, and you have a killer feature: native vectors. For game development or heavy math code, that's a really big deal because it means vectors live directly on the stack and aren't garbage collected, making them very fast. Luau also has some very nice QOL and of course type checking.

There's some disadvantages, mind you. The most notable one is that as far as I'm aware all tooling for Luau comes from Roblox users. The Luau LSP extension someone linked earlier, as an example, is developed by a Roblox user. Luau also doesn't implement tailcalls, which might matter to you. I forget the reasoning but it was mostly a UX thing.

There's also no native integers and there probably won't ever be. LuaJIT and Lua 5.3+ have support for 64-bit integers but Luau doesn't, since they have complicated semantics if you want them to be first class citizens and a lot of Luau users are children.

At the very least, the entertainment industry was familiar. They were already into the music scene for ~20 years, and had been cutting television content deals for about 15. It's not unreasonable to say that they knew some people they trusted whom they could hire to make it happen.

It kind-of does matter. Buying something new always has a net negative impact. It's not because the old thing is not used, it's because you are incentivizing production of new things.

I picked out burglary rates because that’s the type of property crime that impacts businesses.

Speculating on effectiveness of the DA and how much crime goes unreported would have to benchmark other cities to be meaningful. We can’t just assume that crime is more frequently reported and prosecuted elsewhere based on a joke headline.

Ironically, SF’s property crime problem is likely heavily impacted by the high demand to live there in the first place and the resulting high cost of housing. SF can alleviate crime by building housing, but I’m not sure how Peoria, IL, Steubenville, OH, or Bridgeport, CT solve their crime and drug issues long term. At least SF has a clear path out.
Agree. CF wont have the inside scoop and they use another company's statement to bolster own thoughts. I wonder about the BeyondTrust statement too. This just doesn't sound right....and, so far, although it could happen this week, there have been no SEC filings by Okta - which would have to happen if this was a bad situation for them.
The future looks especially bleak because LLMs, for many who I work with, are doing with logic what Google did with memory. 'Just ask chatgpt' will be a thing ; maybe not chatgpt, probably indeed just google but with a their chatbot which can do 'logic' and abstractions built in.

Google -> you don't need a longterm memory, just Google it.

So with good LLMs (and the latest iteration of chatgpt is really good at a lot of things you don't want bore yourself with), you don't need to process logic and abstraction as it will do it for you.

This is not yet there for everyone but I think it will work the same. Lazy the mind and have less and less rigor where the abstractions get more abstract and also more shallow.

> Uninsured driver protection is not socialized, everyone is just forced to pay for it, the state doesn’t pay it.

Being forced to pay for something to share the cost across a set of people is the definition of socialized. The implementation detail is that it’s shared by all purchasers of insurance as opposed to the population as a whole.

> The point stands: you can have strong insurance markets with multiple private options in a well regulated environment without being tied to your employer or just a public option.

There is no such market for flood insurance.

I don’t think it’s possible to fix the US medical insurance system without banning corporate health plans. It’s the only way to unify the risk pools. Not just removing the tax incentive for corporate plans, I mean banning the concept so that the pools are unified.

No, it’s not an alternative. It’s a runtime for doing PWA’s using Go for WASM targets. Not even the same thing. But, if you’re doing go on the back, and now go on the front, there’s very little glue required for a full-stack standalone go app with a beautifully complex HTML UI.

So yeah, it’s not an electron alternative, but another arrow in the quiver to get Golang to be taken seriously outside of microservice/system-land. It deserves more. It’s not Rust, but it should be easier to build apps with Go for distribution.

This package though can help some folks bridge the gap between WebGL/WebGPU in Go WASM and their HTMX UI. I could be entirely mistaken having not used the package before but from what I’ve seen on their docs it should be possible to do full client wasm.

This might be too specific to my own life, but I'm curious whether children do/should count towards socializing time.

I'm officially an elementary school teacher as of this fall, so I spend most of my work day "socializing" with other people—they just aren't adults. And they certainly aren't my "friends", although I do genuinely care about them.

I also don't have my own children (yet), which I imagine would be very different.

Disc brakes are preferred if you have carbon wheels. You need special pads for braking on a carbon surface and carbon fiber is much less resistant to abrasion from the braking pads. The net result is that you need to replace your expensive carbon fiber wheels much more quickly and your braking performance is much worse because brake pads for carbon fiber don't let you stop as quickly as regular brake pads. Much better to have the wear and tear from braking occur on a $20 rotor that you can easily replace.
I'll admit I don't have any deep first-person familiarity with major political events. It's possible they're right about those things. Maybe my point doesn't generalize.

But I do have deep familiarity with other topics that are of similar impact and complexity, and the gaping holes in the writers' understanding of the topics in the articles on these topics are so gigantic you could drive trucks through them. I'm not talking about nuanced issues. These are big-picture mistakes.

It's certainly possible that they're only wrong about the topics I understand. Maybe they really are right about everything else.

It just seems extremely unlikely.

I would really love to know where you put imba.io in your tools evaluation.

It's the only one I can grok that allows me to work at high levels and just plain js when I need to. I hate that it has any external dependency, but I'm just blazingly fast building with it that I justify the 50kb extra.
So it's surplus and we have a problem if we don't use it now? That can't be a serious argument. They'd have to start paying us to use this annoying byproduct of throwaway materials? Something sounds fishy with that argument.

That is a pretty popular development, I have encountered banks where cash withdrawals are ATM-only for nearly a decade. What sucks, however, is if the bank imposes a fee after X number of ATM transactions (sometimes as little as two withdrawals). Then, with a maximum ATM withdrawal of 300€ or so, withdrawing a couple of thousand is going to incur a larger amount of fees than with the old cash from the teller system. Of course, with the world moving away from cash, fewer and fewer people will be affected by this.
Thank you for this! That's exactly the effect! I just didn't know anybody had associated it with a famous name!
Refactoring for no reason is not useful. But what happens in practice is you have a new requirement and you realize your hacked together “battle tested” system can’t possibly support it without breaking everything. So then you need to refactor first.

And if you are actively developing then refactoring along the way is generally better than if you wait until the very end.
