The sheer volume of legacy software prevents this from being realistic. Microsoft's commitment to backwards compatibility has reaped rewards for them. Any restrictions would have a user-controllable toggle.

If APIs prevent programmers from stupid shit the devs would encourage the end users to blame Windows and, more than likely, turn off the restrictions. (Case in point: User Account Control and making users non-Administrator by default. I've dealt with so much shitty software that opens its install instructions up w/ "Disable UAC and make sure the user has admin rights.")

There has to be a point you draw the line and say "Dev, grow up and learn about the platform you're using." An app that required users to be root on a Linux machine wouldn't survive community outrage. Windows doesn't have that kind of community. (Try arguing with a vendor about idiot practices in their app and watch their sales gerbil attempt to end-run you to your manager...)

This would seem to imply you do believe there exists only one intrinsic goal. So I'm not really sure what you're trying to say.

Is it possible to have an intrinsic goal other than selfishness, or isn't it?

But from 23andMe's end, they didn't see these login attempts originating from a single system because it was from several locations, with different user-agents, fingerprints, etc.

How do you propose they were to identify these various computers to be part of the same botnet?

If you have a reliable way to do so, many people would pay you large amounts of dollars for that service.

Where does this connection come from? I've never heard of this linking of industrialized farming to obesity. I've definitely heard of the linking of processed food to obesity, but farming techniques is one that I'm definitely going to need to see some supporting evidence for this claim.
It does to a certain extent but it may be a negligible compromise depending on what you use as your second factor.

I don’t think there are a lot of companies doing it anymore. I am starting to see companies screen via online code platforms (ex. Coderpad) more than take home projects. Which I don’t mind because the problems are 30mins-1hr. It’s the 5-8hr projects with no callback that is not worth it. If I successfully complete a project you better interview me, otherwise your company will be receiving a negative review.
Yeah: I think it's 18 minutes from the plane touching down the other plane, not the plane standing still... But still: it's very, very, very long.

With 3 safe exits (out of 8 apparently), and 367 passengers+crew, that's 123 passenger per exit. 18 minutes means 7 passenger per minute per exit.

How the heck do you need ten seconds per passenger to hop on the slide? Even the videos from this crash show a much higher throughput.

PWA install experience is nice and easy on desktop, you're right.

But to be clear, the author is saying that on mobile, especially on iOS, PWA capabilities are crippled.

I say this with some authority, having worked on Microsoft's PWABuilder[0] including its iOS platform. There are a number of significant things not possible on iOS due to Apple's restrictions for web apps.

Things are getting better on mobile, albeit slowly thanks to Apple's feet-dragging mentioned in the author's post.

This is LK-99 derived? Now I'm even less interested. Because if you believe this one, you need to believe that despite LK-99 being bogus, that somehow, trying to make a new LK-99 variant was lucky enough to find the one compound out of countless attempts that winds up working - as opposed to coming out of a completely different, still viable, line of research. Stranger things have happened in the history of science & technology... but not that many.
Tim Cook is also a brilliant strategist at using Apple's strength with suppliers. For example, Apple has first dibs on TSMC's cutting edge process. But even gambles he lost, like making huge sapphire crystals for screens and maybe even phone bodies, are daring and innovative.
Replying to myself as I can't edit:

There's multiple issues here that apparently others aren't seeing.

The key one: it's a build or buy decision for a non-key part.

SpaceX's USP (as far as I'm aware, not a rocket nerd) was reusable rockets. If they can successfully demonstrate that, then they've won. They don't want to run out of money before then but chasing down every inefficiency in the existing system seems more like OCD than good business sense.

Subsidiary issues:

Sending the guy who "had never built anything" to negotiate hardware orders.

Getting the guy who "had never built anything" to build a vital part when off the shelf alternatives were available.

Celebrating this as business genius not unnecessary risk.
There has to be a line somewhere though, right?

Like if the turn signals were hidden on the main touchscreen, under options->settings->turn signals left/right, we would conclude that this is an absolutely idiotic design that shouldn't be allowed on the road, not just say "weird, maybe they should just teach that if it's so hard"?

The problem here is that you might have to use the turn signal mid-turn, and if the buttons are on the wheel it can be really confusing if not downright I possible to operate them when turning. Tesla isn't the first to do this - some Lambos/Ferraris also do this, good luck finding a single owner who doesn't hate it.

Then you’ll end up with the building equivalent of the titanic which had a lot of luxurious amenities and decor, but skimped on the more boring stuff like structural integrity. You can see this in effect in parts of Asia. The closest example we have in the US is the Millennium Tower. There were regulations, (someone could correct me) but they decided to “bribe” their way out of it.

Ironically, I still share your opinion about over regulation, but we can’t ignore the other argument.

It is not free
I'm really fascinated by this.

Attention is all you need. But not the way we here at HN expect.

If you investigate police statistics, you'll see that the "story" about the statistics is often dictated by the availability of the statistics. Go to a "safe" city and review the statistics on the police department website. The availability of those statistics is all over the place, and one city will claim they can't publish the information from past years because of COVID-19, and the next city will say that they can only publish information from the past because of COVID-19. One city will claim impossible to verify outcomes. And, another city will publish information which will be used to prove political points by failing newspapers.

This feels like it could really shift attention to processing information and bringing attention to when that information isn't available.
Mostly because good transit implementation is so expensive only like a half dozen cities in the US are financially capable of building new rail transit or hiring a lot more bus operators. Also the fact bike lane projects in this country are seemingly done like a half mile at a time to the lowest standards, rather than a one shot whole network wide rollout of lanes that would make suburbanites feel safe to bike to errands. A robust bike network seems difficult only if you forget its just a matter of how you put paint on a road thats probably already regularly budgeted in routine road surfacing work, over having to spend real money and actually expand budgets. This all goes to show how timid politicians have become in recent years towards stepping off into the unknown and actually diverging from the status quo.
This specific case doesn't since there already has been permissively licenses alternatives to GNU core utils for years.

I don't use OpenGL. I probably should, and this year I'm planning on getting into Blender and 3D (but through Godot) but everything I do in SDL is 2d and sprite based, and SDL handles pushing the triangles/quads on its own.

Also, Godot games are also written in its native scripting language (GDScript) and it supports other languages, although I don't know how well, or how up to date anything is.

You’re being a tad pedantic and more annoyingly also wrong.

Big-o notation can also describe space complexity which is a property of the data structure itself and not the algorithmic operations. What I said was a catch all.

As for trivia, it 100% is when literally ever good data structure documentation says the big-o of that operation (+ a lot more details that can sometimes be more relevant). It’s trivia worth knowing for arrays and hash tables but not worth remembering for the various trees because there’s so many of them and they’re used so infrequently (+ implementation decisions can matter which is why reading docs is more important).

I don’t know what problem domains you are working with but algorithmic complexity is not the most common slow code reason I’ve seen new devs run across because the sane generic defaults tend to be relied on for that exact reason (+ code review by someone with experience will catch obvious problems)
> I've been without a car for 4 years now, and it is becoming a burden. For the first 2 years it wasn't so bad because of lock down. Now, even with my e-bike (which I love and would continue to use if I had a car) there are certain things I just cannot do. Inclimate weather is a big one, and in my location, June-September is inclimate weather of 100°+ weather. Carrying things home from the hardware store is not conducive activity with my e-bike. Large item purchases, blah blah blah. If I were to rent a car suitable each time, I could just pay the monthly car payment

You haven't specified where you live, but from the details you've written, we can narrow it down far enough to safely conclude that you're not living in a place that's designed to support a car-free lifestyle.

I have lived for over fifteen years without a car. Not only do I not miss it, but I'd pay to be able to live like this. I can rent a car whenever I need it (something like once or twice a year) and the total annual cost is a fraction of what a monthly car payment would be almost anywhere in the country: gas, financing, repairs, fees, other expenses, etc. all add up to way more than people realize[0].

When you're living in a place that's designed with cars in mind, it's hard to imagine living comfortably without it, but when you're living in a place that's designed for other means of transportation, it's hard to imagine ever going back to cars.

I owe a debt of gratitude to him and the Pascal programming language. Sincerest condolences to those he left behind.
> Fair enough; perhaps it'd be worthwhile to throw a compiler error if both reflection and trimming were attempted.

In language/platform with dynamic loading, it's hard for the compiler to "perfectly" predict which piece of code will ending up being executed at compile time. I think would result in a lot of false positives.
Yes great idea!

Coincidentally I'm also building a live ISS tracker which embeds NASA's live camera stream [0]. Sometimes I have Ambiphone and the ISS tracker running at the same time and it's nice when the ISS chatter pops up, so I think the Apollo recordings would work really well.

Not true, at least not for most people anyway. People need cars to get to where they need to go. When the developer of an apartment complex has to provide parking for its residents everyone has a place to put the cars they need. When those developers don't have to provide parking space anymore, people will still need cars, but will now have no place to put them at night. This will drive up the price of apartment complexes that provide parking, pricing many people out, while doing nothing to eliminate the need for their cars.

You can't solve the problem of "I need a car" just by taking away the places people put them at night.

The problem we have is built into the design of our cities from the ground up and it impacts every aspect of how they are structured and used. Eliminating parking spaces while the absolute need for cars continues to exist doesn't solve the problem at all.

This is the kind of move that should be done selectively, and only after alternative options are created, if it's done at all.

Depending where, but you'll also be expected to host people from the nearby towns for events, host town parties, weddings, etc, all at no cost or far below cost.

Or, you can not do that and be a social pariah and have the local government thumb their nose at you when you need something like permits.
The joke used to go "Scientists in Alaska discover the first room-temperature superconductor" but that works as well
Effective public transit isn't something you can bolt onto a city after the roads are all built. Cities like Austin that were designed for cars from the outset are hopeless lost causes.

Old world cities can have great public transit because they were dense long before cars existed and have hundreds of years worth of civil projects designed to get people from A to B.
Agreed on the accidental reimplementation of something trivial. The distinction of what is trivial will be harder to clarify in the future, however the language models in the future can also help identify the provenance of substantial parts of the code and eventually it will be easier for GNU, if they care, to have a strong argument. I suspect GNU will not care until somebody plays foul, so GNU can wait for a long time until that happens and until the tools are substantially better. I just find it a little sad that the effort is bifurcated into competing camps. Maybe eventually gnu binutils will also start a rust clone for parts of their binutils and make this effort obsolete at the technical level.
So for a certain class of games, I have found the secret to be — after having developed the muscle memory and the instinct — completely “zoning out” and playing solely by reflex. You simply can’t mentally process and intentionally respond in the timespan required to beat these games at higher levels, it has to be fully subconscious and automatic to win.

The only issue is that I haven’t figured out how to intentionally disconnect. It’s almost like falling asleep: you can be jarred back to reality and realize you were “zoned out” and can sometimes feel yourself on the edge of zoning back out, but the very act of “cognizantly deciding” to relinquish mental control is at fundamental odds with actually doing so. So you just have to “let it happen” so much as I can tell.

> So how did 23andme fail so hard here? Literally nothing you've suggested would have prevented this.

They made MFA mandatory after getting popped, at the same time they changed their Terms of Service to attempt to evade liability. Why did they wait to get popped? Either negligence or an active decision was made to avoid support costs and engineering time for mandatory MFA was made. Also, a magic link I suggested would've solved for this, unless attackers were going to get into everyone's inbox with leaked creds to get the link to login and get that session token. Definitely more effort than credential spraying 23andme login endpoints.

My parents live in a residential, SFH neighborhood that's basically designated overflow parking for revelers. Especially during Pride Week, motorists will fill every street parking spot, only to stroll into the drunken debauchery, and then stagger back and attempt to locate their vehicles.

They've also seen ZipCar type services where short-term rental vehicles are just abandoned. Once, I woke up to find a luxury Alfa Romeo sedan that had taken a joy-ride across the border and was abandoned in front of our place.

The main street there dead-ends, and so the highest traffic is from lost motorists vainly attempting to hook up to the freeway.

My parents jealously guard their prime parking spots, I mean insanely: they love to walk but if they need to tote cargo more than 1 yard out of the way, we never hear the end of their moaning, and I live hundreds of miles away. They participate in Neighborhood Watch and won't hesitate to get cars tagged, inspected and towed if someone tries to mess with their "public street parking" spots. (Recently renovated "garage" is full of junk.)

As a holder of a driver's license who hasn't owned a car since 1997, I also never hear the end of their moaning about rude cyclists, oblivious pedestrians, City-sponsored transit lanes, or repainted roads to encourage sharing with pedestrians and multi-modal transport.

Around here, most of the moaning and screaming is directed at light rail, without considering for a moment how it takes drunks and inept drivers off the road and completely out of their way.
Here in Switzerland I've seen the opposite - the amount of parking requested by the developer (true, this was for local bank growth and not condos) was slashed significantly by municipality, as in 'don't bring your cars to your work', effectively removing 1 underground level of parking and some more, right under the bank.

There are very few countries out there that would see such behavior flying, when facing a wealthy developer (it used to be the biggest company in this village/small town) who gives a lot of local work, for just parking spots that are anyway completely hidden under the building.
