I suspect you're underestimating the cost and complexity of such an operation.

Artificial islands exists, but need constant upkeep (adding more material as it's eroded/reclaimed by the sea). Those don't float, they're anchored to the sea bed. Things that do float need even more upkeep, because a larger part of their surface area comes in contact with saltwater, which is very good at ruining everything it touches. Ship maintenance is expensive. Floating city maintenance would be staggeringly expensive. I can imagine it being nearly as complex as building a city on the moon.
Dramatically, no. But then a couple of releases of deprecated and then hasta la vista is fine with me if it means progress.

Vintti: Accounting Outsourcing Talent from South America
If someone were to look for a web developer job these days, is Django the framework to focus on if you want a project that has a decent quality of life and is easy to get a job doing? I assume it's between that and Rails.

Alternatively, if I already have a ton of web framework experience and desperately want to move on to something different, what are some natural areas to extend into to stop working for agencies making crappy websites for small businesses? I guess this is off topic but it seems like people reading this may have input
Yes. Good points. Agreed with patchwork as sometimes IAM can take a backseat to different priorities such as application development or feature development.

There's a couple different models for IAM ownership. At some places, the application teams own IAM along with the application. Sometimes, it's owned by central teams (such as security).

And agreed, with companies growing and changing, ownership changes as well.

Those factors can all complicated IAM development and policy maintenance as it becomes more difficult to find the right fit for IAM to application. For that, it would require someone who knows exactly what the application needs access to and the IAM actions taken as well as how to configure IAM.
> but why should this research be done at university level?

Where else should it be done?

Supposedly academia is supposed to be the place that is free from economic incentives. Think about how we use the word "academically." As well as being a third party that is independent of the government. Even non-profits have to worry about economic value, just not about shareholders.[0]

I say supposedly because lots of academia is already captured by industry (or other entities). Computer science is a good example considering how common it is to work with industry partners. Sciences are mixed and there's good reason to work with industry that is highly rational and can provide huge benefits. But it does come with risk of capture. It should also be worrying if academic research becomes essentially an extension of a company's research arm because it does reduce innovation and exploration of ideas as research is pushed towards profit motivations but that's a very different kind of risk than the one discussed.

[0] In the last few decades we've adopted a mindset that everything should be a business model. This is true for academia. Maybe everything shouldn't be a business model. That doesn't mean things have to run at a loss but schools definitely are profit seeking in their current forms. The priority is not placed on education and research and thus presents an existential risk to these institutions. One could claim the death has already come but I'm not convinced.

This point is confusing to me because there are so many clients available. Not only in different projects (Misskey/Firefish/Sharkey, Akkoma/Pleroma, glitch-soc), but also from the various compatible clients in the web and mobile (Elk, Semaphore/Enafore/Pinafore, Ice Cubes, Fedilab). Many instances also tweak their frontend to make UX adjustments, which is a lot more difficult in closed source projects.

It would take some time to find a miniUSB patch right now, especially a good one. Sure, now I can find it. In 10 years?

EDIT: As an aside, an ex-director of the DGSE[1] (french CIA basically) complained that there tend to be a general misunderstanding between the communication modes of western countries and middle-east countries, the former prefers to proverbially "Speak softly and carry a big stick" while the latter prefer a good incendiary speech as a form of catharsis. As a result western audiences tend to take some speeches too literally, as if they were a plan of action while the discourse wasn't made with them in mind.

But they're not challenging them, are they? If they were challenging the opinions then there would need some sort of rebuttal. Instead they're essentially saying that OP worded it wrongly and therefore their points are invalid.
I started an FPGA hobby project a few years ago (Before Covid[tm]) that tied a PicoRV32 core to my custom hand-made 80s-style "video chip" VDP type + direct access to SRAM with the hopes of making something like a "Retro-V"; boot straight to a BASIC (or Lua or something) prompt, etc. I had it supporting text generation, and most of the stuff to do simple tiles/sprites, and booting into a little custom "kernel."

I stalled once I started trying to integrate with the SD Card on my dev board. It got un-fun and then I got distracted by the apocalypse.

But I still think it's a neat idea, to tie RISC-V to that kind of "instant on" hobbyist architecture.

EDIT: looks like this "IceStation" project ended up doing mostly what I was intending, and started not long after me, but actually shipped something. Mine was targeting a Xilinx Artix-7 board, tho.
The JWS/JWE compact and JSON encodings are text based formats, safe for various internet protocol use (such as embedding in a HTTP header, URL query parameter, or cookie)

The header is JSON and could have potentially used another encoding for space. The payload and signature are both binary, so they needed a way to be represented in the 66 or so safe characters across all of those uses. In that case, non-padded URL-safe Base64 encoding is the best option.

Unfortunately, nested JWTs (signed and encrypted) as well as embedded binary data (such as public keys and thumbprints) in a JSON format also need to be base64 encoded. So there's a bit of a penalty in size for including these in the message, and that puts a bit of a design motivation in applications using these to limit such binary data within the messages themselves.

There is COSE, which uses CBOR to be entirely binary, but CBOR is rather robust and library support isn't close to what we have for JSON support.

For JSON Web Proofs, the goal is to define the core primitives in terms of binary data, such that a CBOR encoding does not require reinvention.

reclamation is very different than floats. I'm not sure what you mean by superficially appealing, or probably more critically, to whom you think it appealing.

Most people with any familiarity with engineering or marine environments would find the concept of floating cities as a terribly impractical idea, at first look, do the cost and complexity. It would make far more sense to build a city in a desert and build a megaproject to bring it water from the ocean.

I would agree floating cities has some sci-fi fantasy appeal. cool setting for a book or cartoon, where one could ignore the real implications. Not unlike space stations or moon bases in that respect.
If we're not irreplaceable then ganging up on our employers is a way for us to reclaim some of the leverage

Let's say I have a company with an R&D budget of $1 billion. $100 million goes into robotics and AI, $900 million goes into core business interests. You form a union and demand all kinds of ridiculous accommodations that you could never have reasonably asked for on your own.

What will happen when budgeting for the next fiscal year? Replacing you is a core business interest now, and so is avoiding the need to hire your replacement. The R&D budget will be adjusted accordingly.

If you want "leverage," the best way to achieve that is to make yourself more valuable, not less.
His brothers Drew and Chris all similarly marginalised. I remember this horrible fact from school.
Around 2007, we had a site that was emailing ~500k/mo newsletters out for a half dozen clients. I could not convince my bosses that it had value and was worth investing in. It was merely an ancillary service to them, not worth promoting or monetizing.

my bosses were pissed I wouldn't let them mass mail to all users without the clients permission. (these were the clients' lists). That didn't help.

When the business broke, they didn't bother renewing the domain.

Couple years later one of them asked me, informally, if I knew of a better email service than the one they were using now; it was charging them "postal rates"... "Can't help ya, so sorry."
I worked at an insurance company where a giant COBOL mainframe squatted in the middle of their data systems like a toad*.

During the last major attempt to remove the system, they got close. A team of good engineers worked over two years painstakingly updating documentation, transferring and rebuilding systems, and got to the Go-No-Go meeting. They explained everything to the single SME in their 60's who knew best where the bodies were buried, and she seemed satisfied.

When they got to the end of the Go-No-Go, she asked, "Where did you put our payroll?"

COBOL literally sent everyone their paychecks. It was enough of a deathblow to find something that important had been overlooked, the project was abandoned.

*Oracle Toad was in there too, but it felt snappy instead of squatty compared to the COBOL.

Even looking past the political affiliation, there's nothing in the announcement that highlights their credentials to this role. The vision of the foundation is to "reclaim the internet". There has probably been no time in history when the claim to internet has been threatened by corporations as it is today. These people may be qualified in their fields, have they ever done anything to show they understand what the internet is about and the threat it faces today?
I'm talking literally just access logging though. Expecting even an individual, let alone a business, to run a publicly accessible web service without any form of access logging is just absurd IMO.

I'd expect privacy-inclined people to care vastly more about detecting and tracing indicators of compromise or similar over avoiding access logging on the open internet.

Edit: Use actual English.
"prestigious team of online disinformation experts"

Not being the devil's advocate here, but "online disinformation" is not a credentialed field. That's like calling yourself a "truth expert".

Also the prestigious part is bogus at best. If they are then they sure don't make the headlines often.
D's garbage collector is quite safe. Most non-trivial programs use a mix of stack allocation, RAII, malloc-style allocation, and GC. Each style has aspects they're best at.

GC is particularly well-suited when using compile time function evaluation, which executed D code at compile time (i.e. adanced constant folding, where functions can be called).
It's a little confused about it though.. It's not clear in the gpt version that "balsamic glaze" is what you are making by mixing the ingredients together, and makes it sound rather like some other ingredient you are mixing in. Granted, we have to decipher that a little bit in the first one too, but its not nearly as bad.
China is producing more CO2 in a week than many more countries in a year. Same with coal production.

Have you noticed something?

Everyone here is some kind of developer! And remember what developers are notoriosly bad at? That's right -- marketing and sales...which is exactly what I can help you with. Because no matter how good your product is if you don't know who your audience is and how to market it to them.

Remember what Gary Halbert said to his students if they were to compete with his hypothetical hot-dog stand, "I'll give you every advantage you ask for -- better hot-dogs, better prices, whatever...as long as I can get only one advantage. I want a starving crowd!"

Every week I stumble upon websites of software companies who are just as good as their more famous competitors (or even better), but their marketing sucks, and that's why they never reach the hockey-stick growth phase.

Want some help with that? Send me an email today.

On the 6800/6809: don't forget to look at the Fairlight CMI and the Qasar M8 developed by Tony Furse: the sampling synthesizer that was the sound of the 80s.

This past summer, Tony has been retrieving his 8-inch Motorola Exorciser floppies. He encouraged me to work on my Motorola Exorciser emulator- it now emulates a 6809 version of the Exorciser:

It's true that there are open-source models that one can run locally, but the problem is also how many people are going to do that. You can make the instructions inside a GitHub README as clear and straightforward as you want, but I think that for the majority of people, nothing will beat the convenience of whatever big corporation's web application. For many the very thing that a product is made by a famous company is a reason to trust it more.

> We should just tax income over $10 million at 90% for both people and corporations.

People - maybe. But why corporations? Isn’t that double taxation? The only way money leaves a corporation is through people which will be taxed eventually.

As for the healthcare system, it doesn’t need more money. It needs an extreme regulation and red tape shake up. We could have vastly better healthcare today for the same amount of money that’s already there if not for the bureaucratic mess and an army of administrators tending to it.

I disagree with this sentiment:

At some point our governing body, which exists to shape society
according to our collective wishes, needs to step in and hold

There is a list of things the government should to. "Shape society" is not one of them.

At the end of the day, companies can and will decide what's profitable for them to do. If a hosting service doesn't want to host your site, you should probably speak in some other way. The internet is not the only vehicle for public communication. You and I should be completely free to say whatever we want. Nobody owes me (or you) a platform for speech. Those two statements are not incompatible. As I write this, I'm aware of the irony that I'm doing so on a public online forum. But I acknowledge at the end of the day if Hacker News wants to delete this comment, they have a right to do so.

If I had the money to purchase a Mac growing up, probably that would have been my choice. Instead, I assembled my own computer from parts, and upgrading the computer incrementally by adding and replacing components.

For you, if you don't have money to buy a mac, you are no longer a human being worth of respect. That tells me all I need to know.
I just set up an S3 bucket - probably the most common use case for IAM policies. My policy file was invalid in a way that AWS never warned me about and looked good to my untrained eyes. After a few hours of debugging GPT-4 was able to explain I needed to break up my rules into bucket-level and key-level sections. Afterwards the 403 errors went away.

Just sharing my story. IAM sucks and GPT-4 is a good backup for configuring it.

Yeah no, part of code review is ensuring code quality is maintained. If you start letting badly written code fly because it passes tests, that’ll bite you. If something isn’t blocking I’ll make a note that it should be fixed if theres budget knowing sometimes you gotta let things go. But you can’t just ignore code quality and call it nitpicking.

I think it's funny that devs will go through all kinds of untold suffering when it comes to code reviews...stacked pull requests, waiting days (or more!) for a review, all kinds of nitpicky BS that is a lot of time and effort to rework by the time you have the code all written.

But suggest to people that they pair program and that it's a real-time review that obviates the need for formal async review and folks want to murder you.
Julia's window has probably passed. Pytorch, JAX, Numba etc are eating its lunch. Which is sad because they are all pretty hacky stuff compared to what Julia could be.
Well, clearly they're failing because the UK is in a period of extreme austerity with no signs of improving any time soon. This should be the absolute last thing on politicians minds. It's also quite clear that the person who drafted up this idea is woefully unequipped for their job.

Well, yeah, China is more than 52 times the population of many other countries, so that's hardly surprising.

> No, that is not an issue at all. No one made them choose “raven”, a name already in use by multiple projects. The solution to “this name already exists” isn’t “let’s replace a letter”.

This point was in agreement with you that their name was a poor choice. They should have chosen something else given this was already taken, for the exact same kind of thing no less. If you were less mad you might have realized that.
