The article states that current practices don't serve the company or the people. This is false. Good security is very expensive. The board knowingly bets that the damage will be far less than the cost. Meaning it's a non tangible effect to them. It's mostly noise in the form of drama.

If we want security we have to fix government. No other industry can just expose SSN's, credit cards, personal details, and get a slap on the wrist. Software must be treated like an engineering profession and have the responsibility to uphold standards. If not, they get big fines that go into paying the victims and research into security.

This will not happen in the U.S. because bribery is legal and tech corps are all in on using it to make the world worse for everyone except themselves.

You need a different country to have a properly functioning industry. The EU is doing very well at this.
I'm not sure. It's very tech-nerd (like me) and tech-bro oriented. The logo as well, I'm pretty sure it please the aestetics of tech bros, but at least some nerds/geek find it stupid, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't bring a lot of new female users.

Twitter was already one of the most male-dominated social media (especially outside the US), I think it would be interesting to see the evolution now that this became X. I'd bet a huge majority of new joiners are male (due yo the branding change), and a small majority of 'leaver' are female.

I played Cyberpunk 2077 after BG3, and though the production values and story are very strong it feels a bit like a walking simulator after the gameplay richness BG3 offered. The RPG elements feel more or less meaningless in comparison, as though I could make most any dialogue or leveling choice and it'd scarcely matter. As a result I feel very much like a passenger in a very long and mildly interactive movie.

It's an interesting experience, a situation where I can acutely detect the bar getting moved for what I expect a game to be. I hope recent progressions in AI will bring us more interactive stories a la BG3 in glossy and well-funded packages a la Cyberpunk 2077.
I did - see below!
In a certain sense, files everywhere is great, that's the promise of unix, or plan9 to a further extent.

However, unstructured files, or files that all have their own formats, is also equally hampering. Trying to even parse an nginx log file can be annoying with just awk or some such.

One of the big disadvantages is that large system rewrites and design changes cannot be executed in the linux userland.

All to say, I'd love a smarter shell, I love files, I have my awk book sitting next to me, but I think it's high time to get some serious improvements on parsing data.

In the same way programs are smart enough to know to render colored output or not, I'd love it if it could dump structured output (or not)

Right. Mandate that the software is delivered with CI pipeline running in the client's environment with 100% reproducible builds and verify checksums.

Yeah, this year is ridiculous for gaming - I think Polygon has a "top 50" games list this year and it STILL leaves out some of my favories.
I have been dealing with something like this, I think depression or burnout or overtraining but I don’t feel depressed or burnt out. I went from running 50 miles a week doing 10+ mile runs 3x a week to barely being able to run 3 miles to nothing and I feel exhausted and like my brain isn’t working. My smart watch is saying that I’m not recovering well. I’ve never had Covid as far as I know. I just had a physical and they didn’t find anything.

Kinda looks like it's the original launch version of Instagram but sharing only with friends (approved followers) instead of publicly. Combined with that app from like 13 years ago where you could have your photos printed into postcards and sent to people... dang what was that called? That's a throwback.
What about... what about... what about... Western Europe really tried after 1990 to integrate with Eastern Europe and it worked pretty well for most former socialist countries, but not with Russia and Belarus. And not for lack of trying on behalf of the Western European countries, if anything the West had been too naive for too long.
I think in the past 20 years or so fusion food has started to gain more respect.

Particularly as second and third generation immigrants gain adulthood, it's easier to recognize that Tex Mex, Cal Mex, UK Takeaway Indian, American-Chinese, LA Korean, etc. are their own categories of food worth celebrating. Yes Korean tacos from a truck aren't "authentic Korean" but they're not trying to be.

I usually just tack Country-X on food when we're talking about the fusion version. It's a little unwieldy but makes the point clear.
It baffles me that people don't realize just how bad it is in non democratic countries. Russia has FSB extorting shop owners for protection money, and even an occasional assassination is nothing particularly interesting there. Chinese companies have party cells in management. Venezuela or many African countries need to hire foreign contractors (sometimes Western :) ) so that their heads of state and other VIPs do not get killed by their coworkers. The Red Sea has actual pirates. Lebanon failed to remove kilotons of explosive ammonia nitrate for years, until it eventually blew up the capital. I could go on and on, but you can see how this compares to "train company bricked a train and it's a major scandal".
AWS for instance. You can't open a new account but the pre-existing ones are afaik still serviced. That may not last though.

Corporations are simultaneously sophisticated and idiots. Sometimes the output of sophisticated compliance pipeline is plainly idiotic.
I haven’t seen anyone outraged with tesla. If anything, we swedes are confounded that tesla can’t seem to understand how running a business works in sweden. It’s not that hard.

And just like tesla have the right to refuse signing, the people of sweden has the right to strike.
I find it entirely unsurprising that passengers take matters into their own hands. It can be a safety issue to be stuck on a train for a long time, and often there are no or very few updates from the driver while you are stuck.

In London, most times I get on the train, I’m expecting it to be a sub-10 minute trip. I may even be just wearing a t-shirt and shorts since I was heading to the gym. Others with health issues may not have brought the medication/food they need.

Similarly when this happens in summer, you can bet many people don’t have any water with them. I’ve personally been stuck on a broken down train during a 35c+ heatwave with no AC. Elderly passengers were showing signs of heatstroke and, with no communication, it does feel desperate.
> UB was all butthurt the other day when people found out a conference he was invited to had fake speakers in its lineup. But hey, I guess it takes one to defend one.

Firstly, what does this have to do with clean code?

Secondly, “butthurt” is not a word I feel correctly expresses his comments. From what I can tell, he advocated for a skeptical and cautious approach, and wanted due process to take its course instead of mob justice to run with the first impression, as it always does.

Yes. Once it's signed by somebody accredited to review it for safe train use.
So anti-piracy people should change their message. Calling people that pirate stuff thieves is rude; most of them opt for piracy because can't pay, doesn't care too much to pay or is averse of industry praxis such this Sony's clusterfuck.
Same issue as with tax fraud. Governments prefers dealing with mistakes and small frauds they are cheap fast success, simple to detect, no lawyer to fight back, but the opposite for large frauds.

This was explain to me by an accountant when I wondered why they wanted to have me fix what felt like I significant errors, mean while a big corporation was in the news for what was clearly tax fraud but the government was dragging they feet about it.

Even then, the vast majority only knows the _name_ of it and something about the cat being both living and dead. I doubt many people could even tell you it is an experiment, thought or otherwise.
Open source means just that - it doesn’t imply one sort of distribution mechanism over others.
Rust has GAT's which have the same expressivity as HKT's. But many Haskell patterns turn out to be unidiomatic in Rust due to extra overhead. (For instance Rust has multiple function-like traits that access their environment differently. There's no equivalent to this in Haskell of course; GC and default boxing choices for Haskell types obviate the issue, but this is not zero cost.)

The advantage, if the abstraction is wrong, of using the abstraction is that you can use tool automation too look up all the uses of the abstraction and replace them with a new one at need without needing to memorize the codebase.

Hodgepodge copy-template code that has minor context-sensitive structural differences is relatively difficult to find all instances of in a codebase without tracing execution paths unless you were the original author and you have the uses memorized. In contrast most IDEs have a find all references and even grep can find all the common names of something in a codebase.
Pizza meats are incredibly high in fat, the cheese is very high in fat and sugar, and the sauce is high in sugar. It's possible the bread is the least calorie dense part of the pizza per unit of satiety.

> You can make better meals, cheaper, at home, in less time than it takes to go out.

This is going to be highly dependent on your local restaurants and what you like to eat. I can't make better bbq or pizza than the restaurants near me. I can make either of those pretty well, but not faster. I can make a pretty good burger, competitive with almost all the restaurants near me, but I can't make French fries as good as a restaurant with a fryer.
In the times I've checked, their "server auction" things don't really seem any obviously better than their standard options.

and probably tens of other smaller excellent games.
London trains are mostly third rail powered rather than overhead line, right? You really don't want people walking on one of those. Like, you don't want people walking on any train line, but particularly not one with a third rail.

Show HN: Neosync – Open Source Data Replication and Anonymization
Hey HN, we're Evis and Nick, we're excited to be launching Neosync on HN!

Neosync is an open source data replication and anonymization project that helps developers create safe, anonymized test data and sync it across all environments for high-quality local, stage and CI testing.

This is how it works:

1. You select a job type. Today we support data sync jobs (these sync data between two databases and run on a schedule you define) and a data generation job (this generates synthetic data from scratch and sends it to a destination).

2. Next you define your source database and a destination(s) database (you can connect multiple destinations).

3. Next we pull in the schema from the source DB and then you can decide how to you to want transform your data. We ship with 40+ transformers (email, first name, address, random int64, random string, random float64, etc). You can create your own custom transformations as well. We've designed our transformers to be as flexible as possible so you can use them across almost any data type. You could also use Neosync in passthrough mode which means that none of the data will be transformed and you can use it for data replication.

4. Lastly, you can defined subsets. This is a way to filter the data that gets sent to the destination. You can provide a custom SQL query or filters to do this. For example, you can filter the data by an id, customerType, column, date, etc. This is very flexible.

And that's it! The job will run on the schedule you determine. We handle things like retries and backoffs and referential integrity between tables.

We also ship with APIs, a CLI and Github action so that you can use Neosync to hydrate a CI database in your CI pipeline. As a developer, you can use the CLI to hydrate a local database from S3 or another source. We're working on releasing a Terraform provider shortly.

Deployment is pretty straightforward. You can deploy Neosync using Docker Compose (we provide a script) or on Kubernetes using our helm chart.

So what's next? Here's a brief overview: Real time mode (hook up Neosync to Kafka/SQS and anonymize and send the data to destinations in real time) and more connections (MongoDB, Snowflake, CSV). On the ML side, supporting use-cases like consistent data generation (providing a seed value), statistically consistent data and more. You can check out our roadmap in our Github project.

Here's a brief loom demo: https://www.loom.com/share/66224a81074a464b92808ecdc82b7ddb?...

We'd love your feedback and contributions. We strongly believe that your data should be yours and it should stay on your infrastructure and open source is the best way to bring that vision to life.
I think this doesn't quite qualify if it only affects customers that are currently in Russia.
If a person was born in Russia, created their Hetzner account there, then emigrated, and they still get their account closed, that's "judging them for something in the past that they had no control over" - quite similar to racism in my book.
If they get a chance to show that they are not "based in Russia" and then their account is not closed, then I think it doesn't qualify, because in that case it's really an action against a country as a whole, not the people who happened to be born there.

[0] yes, not literally nobody. I know about the Windows 2.0 Excel or whatever, but the user base compared to WordPerfect or 1-2-3 was tiny up until MS was able to start driving them out by leveraging Windows in the early-mid 90s.

Yeah, after having covid in 2021 i was never the same. Feeling more tired, still exercising but not feeling "good" after it like before, my range of emotions has diminished...

Maybe its depression, maybe its me getting old, but something got messed up after having covid.

After seeing a bunch of doctors and getting some tests done, everything came back normal. So, I'm thinking it's just good old chronic fatigue from the viral infection

The city itself is often subsidizing the suburbs around them that bring all the congestion in. Car-oriented suburbs are hugely inefficient.
Increase for whom?

A uniform split of the change-in-rate across all tax brackets would result in a more regressive tax system.

That maybe your thing, that may not be.

To be clear, I'm not trying to get into another tech-person-pretends-they-really-get-economics-on-hn discussion (frankly, I don't get economics well enough). Instead, I'm attempting to highlight that even this simple idea, if compounded a few years in a row, may have wide-reaching knock-on effects.
I came to that realization this fall, as everyone started getting sick again. I played mine off as just a cold as well, but we all know it was COVID. It was always inevitable that this would become endemic. It just sucks being the generation that had to build the immunity.
That make sense.

I remember in microeco101 they talked about how Walmart’s low prices are effectively like a tax with the end result of benefits spread to the lowest income people who benefit the most by low prices on commodity goods.

If Amazon lowers prices due to profit, then, theoretically that gets passed on to consumers. So it’s like a super efficient tax where the tax would be distributed to poor people in food stamps or something. Of course, that’s assuming they reduce prices instead of just keeping profits.
oh god i havent thought of this in a long time
It's not about "not wanting to help". It's about placing logic bombs of "if vehicle is at this gps coordinates of a competitor, engage self-destruct". Hackers actually did extract such coordinates from train firmware.
That's referring to the Elizabeth line, which opened in 2022:

> "Trains stopped running between London Paddington and Heathrow Airport in the rush hour after damage to overhead cables, shutting down the £19billion Elizabeth Line and causing major disruption to National Rail and Heathrow Express services."

This point notwithstanding, it's not clear whether the 'cold and angry' passengers were those on the Elizabeth line - I doubt it, as the class 345 trains used on it have at least a 190Ah battery in each car that should stop the temperatures from getting too uncomfortable.
Right! Workers aren't working shit jobs, the business still operates, consumers get the "consumer excess" benefits, shareholders still make a return, but the economics are kept in check.

You want to optimize for all the good things above without enabling wild power imbalances via cashflows and wealth.

I don't think it was edited, still had a very early version of the comment open, but it's easy to misread.
Agree with nothing wrong about pivoting, mostly an anecdotal point wondering if there is going to be a trend of this for YC companies.

I do wonder if non-ai talent pivoting to AI is wise or defendable. Do you want to use a service where the creators don't really understand the tech and are not much more than a wrapper around an API? Is that really a defensible posture in a competitive market?

We will see. I'm sure some will hire talent and have the data to do something special.
One problem is not acknowledging just how bad ipv6 is being rolled out in the US.

Once promoted as a way to give every internet device you would like a reachable external IP … has instead been a new protocol locked behind giant corporations and telecoms. Now mobile providers and some ISP play gatekeeper … don’t allow you to keep any IPv6 devices (rotate assignments) so we end up with little benefit to the end consumer.

The idea that a home user ca setup a desktop and share anything I want via IPV6 another person without the need for a middle man “cloud” provider just didn’t happen. In fact requesting blocks of IPv6 is not easy … and at the end of the day for the average user who cares.

Great so Verizon can now assign my phone and IPv6 address… that I can literally do nothing with.

Corporate greed / government control have severely limited any usefulness of IPv6 at least here in the US
I so do too. Because apple does NOT have this, I'm wary when purchasing stuff on the app store. I was burned a while back buying a game that was a blatant lie, it was an idler and literally didn't have the gameplay elements it said it did, but I could not return it. I love the steam style return policy. Wish everyone adopted that.
