in general, a lot of people get pretty worked up about anything having to do with the fruit company so I find it often helps to just substitute in "discord" and see if the argument sounds hyperbolic.

"discord is intentionally causing problems by blocking interoperability with third-party clients and using that to funnel sales via peer-pressure from his peer group"

why does discord have to allow third parties to run off their infrastructure and development spends? is discord a gatekeeper in this context? certainly it would hurt me socially to not be able to access the space where all my friends hang out, and they monetize that further by forcing me into shitty pay-by-month upgrades that are only possible via their gatekeeping (otherwise I'd trivially be able to add animated emojis back etc).

or how about slack?

email is another great example... if you figure out how to spoof some headers and trick gmail into thinking you are another gmail SMTP relay, do you have the right to build a commercial service on the ability to send email through gmail's infrastructure, and gmail is legally prohibited from closing the open relay ever again? And bear in mind that google is DEFINITELY a gatekeeper in all senses of the word - it is very hard to convince gmail and outlook to take your emails from a self-hosted server.

XMPP allowed interoperability, but it was never a legal requirement. And if you do create this legal requirement, you turn it into an email-like situation where there are certainly parties who would love to use that relay to worsen your customers' quality-of-life.
Then, don't overclock or buy overclockable parts, you're the only one talking about overclocking in this thread. I've found great success buying and selling on online fora like r/hardwareswap.
I've had options at 2 companies and RSUs at 1, and I have a similar story (bigger earnings on RSUs, bigger "losses" on options (I technically still hold exercised stock, although I don't anticipate ever being able to sell it)).

A huge part of this is that a company won't issue RSUs unless it's already reasonably successful and the shares are liquid or nearly liquid, whereas options are issued by early stage companies that are mostly likely going to fail and are far from a liquidity event.

As an employee, options just aren't good compensation since they have too high risk and you can't work at enough companies to form a portfolio. The VCs that invest in these companies expect to win on less than 1/20th of the companies with preferred shares, so it's quite likely you will never make money on options in your entire career.

People talk about taxes a lot, but the most important factor is whether you are going to make money at all. There is no point in optimizing taxes on your gains if you are making losses instead.
Can someone explain this in simple language?
We need something that goes one level beyond Tailscale. It should be built on a simple open OAuth2 protocol for establishing tunnels/VPNs so you can choose different providers. Then developers can implement tunneled networking directly into their apps.

Seems promising but I don’t think we will achieve production ready thinking AI with current state of LLMs.

We will need some form of Q-Learning and possibly or a world model to arrive at optimal outcomes otherwise random choices are made absent of at least one that would be suboptimal.

Consider that life is a giant game of Chess with a massive yet finite scenarios, a grounding agent must have knowledge of each potential scenario and its effects as well as the probability of winning from each subsequent move.

Otherwise the best we can get at is the emulation of reasoning which is a kind of pseudo reasoning that may indeed work in some cases like literal chess where the logic and knowledge can be sufficiently isolated, but not in a general sense.
These sorts of features shouldn’t be mandatory, if parents want to lock down their kids’ devices they can go find and buy the ones that support that sort of thing. Or install aftermarket software. This is already the way it works.

Also underage people could go to the store and lie about their age, so if we want this plan to be effective we’d need to ID everybody buying electronics, which would be annoying.

It also isn’t clear what it means for a device to be “for somebody,” if somebody buys a desktop and a kid lives in their house, it is at least possible that the kid will get access to it.
One call per path through the code, but potentially multiple calls lexically!
In my opinion the issue is cultural. Everything's in place to churn out a lot of ships, jets, missiles, night vision goggles, etc. Budgets are very high and schedules are realistic. Failure isn't scary enough. It's a problem that can only fixed from the top with sustained effort.
Rainmeter is quite pretty, but the displays (skins) seem to only work on the desktop.

The author of the article has iStart on the menu bar, so the performance indicators are visible even when application windows are covering the desktop. The GNOME extension system-monitor-next[1], as mentioned in the article, is also similar.

Does anyone have recommendations for something similar on Windows?

I’m having some trouble conceptualizing the notion where there’s a secondary market buyer of private company who’s obliged to transact at a given price, but might go higher.

Is the idea that a secondary market buyer struck a deal with Carta’s capital markets division that if Carta can locate shares of XYZ startup, then the buyer agrees to buy those shares at $x, but may pay the investor more if (for example) a higher price is a condition of the board’s approval of the transfer?
Agree. Obviously a few orders of magnitude in cost reduction would be required... but this seem like it could have interesting potential for energy generation in high-rise buildings, which currently have near-zero solar footprint. With that said, the lack of any mention regarding efficiency makes this part of the press release seem like a bit of smoke and, erm, mirrors.
I chose the 12-core because it's very close to the M3 Max in overall performance.

There are cheaper ways to build most things. A high-end Thinkpad is $3000-4000 and you can buy a terrible gaming laptop with the same components for $1000-1500. The Thinkpad is going to be more reliable and last longer than the gaming laptop because the build quality is much higher.

Apple uses good components that cost more, so comparing to bottom-of-the-barrel components isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.
> in which case either the device is placed in "child safe" mode, or printed instructions are directly provided giving instructions to do such

It's not hard to imagine a jailbreak showing up shortly to defeat it. Even Apple can't prevent jail breaking for their devices. I think it's unreasonable to expect other consumer devices manufacturers to win a game of cats and mouses like that.

Requiring legislations on this is even worse. It will serve as a regulatory capture for big corps that can afford to invest on security.
Yes, it is a very useful tool. Used to do very similar when I worked as a sysadmin in larger infrastructures that largely get managed over ssh. A surprisingly large number of infrastructures have keys setup for individual sysadmins across all hosts, through straight sshd user auth.

One problem this helps with is getting into older servers with an unknown password and can't be rebooted for business reasons. At some point, some person may have setup keys to that host, and the only way to find out which is to basically try all hosts and all users. So having something that snakes through an infrastructure like this would help get into that host.
Definitely a nice GPU, but considering airflow, power use, heat generated and the like it's more like a GPU with a PC attached, not so much a PC with a GPU attached.

Not very portable either.
Oh my god I love it.

This might be a dark hole for me, I'll end up with an office dressed up like an Soviet reactor control room.
Ask HN: Do you like online tech meetups?
Do you go to online meetups about technical topics? Do you enjoy them or find them useful?

If there is a presenter, do you prefer it when the presentation is pre-recorded?

Do you interact with others at the event at all? Do you turn on the microphone or enable video, or only use chat?

Compared to IRL tech events, do you find online meetups better for finding peers and building a personal network?
I went down this rabbit hole about 15 years ago, I ended up hand-rolling a transparent .gif which I think was 15 bytes? Small enough that we inlined it as cdata data urls. (Is that still a thing in HTML? It’s been so long…)

I'm curious why this tool wouldn't use all the settings in the ssh config to attempt to connect to hosts.. instead it only picks a subset of those settings. For example, of the config file specifies a port besides 22, it won't be able to connect to that host (or for example, if the config file sets `PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa` which is necessary, albeit insecure, if using an older private key file on a newer version of ssh which disables RSA key exchange)

I see no downside to just using the hostname from the config file instead of trying to apply a few select options from the config, and non-standard ports are extremely common
What's wrong with C? I'm teaching myself with Ritchie at the moment. Seems fine so far but I'm also more interested in embedded systems.
>Let’s assume that the idea of “philosophical zombies” is BS. A precise enough replica of the Archimedes’ brain will indeed generate the Archimedes’ mind, with all the existential bells & whistles.

>If the assumption is correct, then we can bring him back to life by reconstructing his brain, or by directly reconstructing his mind.

I believe we are shaped by what we experience and choose. Is a theoretical perfect recreation of Archimedes brain network guaranteed to work the same way? In LLM terms our experiences set our weights. Would not the brain randomly fire without a set of weights to assist it? It would likely act like a fresh neural network which has to train in painstaking detail before functioning in a way we would consider "useful".
It depends on the shareholder agreement, but many do. However, many of these secondary markets facilitate private market transactions via a forward contract which is sort of like long dated put option.
Blacklist-based parental controls are a major failure in a world where there's no enforcement against sites that fail to set the appropriate headers.

Even whitelist-based parental controls aren't great given what's accessible on major sites that accept user-generated content.

There absolutely is a real problem here - too-early exposure to sex is one of the biggest drivers of sex offenders.
The OP mentions that the reimport is the problem (in response to your tooling suggestion). If you comment out code while testing the imports are auto-removed. When you uncomment you need add the correct imports again.

My office monitor at my last workplace let out distinct whine, when a certain spreadsheet was open and expanded to beyond a certain portion of the monitor's real estate. It was maddening.

I feel like a lot of the comments here are said ironically but would actually be wonderful for much of society.

This is generally the case for common stock but not preferred shares (such as you'd get from being an angel), though it obviously depends company to company.

(background I implemented Algol68 as an MSc project in the early 80s)

So Wirth was a big part of the Algol68 working group but grew disillusioned by it's resulting complexity - he went off and invented Pascal, essentially taking the easy to implement parts of Algol68 and put them in a language.

Almost everything new (or newly borrowed) in Algol68 is common today, often reinvented many times over: structs, unions, pointers, a full type system, threads, a standard library, procedure pointers, a heap with garbage collection etc etc

The things we don't have from it are largely different fonts for reserved words and/or types (something largely forced on them by using cards with only upper case), and A68's standard which I guess is what happens when you let the maths guys go wild - they invented a language to describe the language and its semantics, a language that's largely incomprehensible to most mortals (and then reinvented it for the revised standard) .... it made the spec really hard to read.

All in all it was a great effort considering the times, people were still figuring out how to do stuff at the time, it's not surprising they made some mistakes. It was also a time when compilers and OSs were largely owned by hardware companies, it was much harder for a language to get traction outside of academia (you expected to pay tens of thousands for a compiler, a free one couldn't be any good right?)
Ah, interesting. I think this might answer a question I posted elsewhere in the thread.
Glossary of Unicode Terms
This means disabling any means of downloading custom software for the under 18, right? Forget coding if you are under 18, because all of that would be so simple to bypass unless you completely lock it all.

Games and everything need to be vetted when you are 17? Since if you allow them any kid could also download a custom browser as well to get past that, and if there is a way, this info will be shared amongst kids.
Yet another site falls victim to CSSWG’s absolutely asinine, entirely indefensible idea to make centered flexbox items in a too-small container clip and become completely inaccessible on the left side.

Anyone who says flexbox “solved” centering hasn’t been paying attention.

It blows my mind that this is the “best” (or at least most ubiquitous) layout engine in existence.

Edit: to be more constructive, can anyone offer the OP a concise, CSS-only, diff that would fix the mobile issue without changing the DOM structure or layout on larger screens? It might be possible with a min-width: fit-content, but I have no development setup available at the moment.
Release Cosmopolitan v3.2
> The problem is…

…multifaceted from my experience.

1. At the org-level…

- no standard doc tooling
- no easy-to-remember URLs
- no simple permalinks
- no easy-to-update “pages” (AKA markdown-based)
- they certainly don't train employees how to create good docs
- minimal if any doc standards

2. At the leadership-level…

- they don’t incentivize good documentation
- they don’t set the expectation that “everybody writes”
- they don’t document themselves!

It’s no wonder docs are scattered, out of date and untrustworthy!
That’s a pretty good idea. I’m all for age restrictions on even more things. I think you shouldn't be able to use social media or have a smart phone until you’re 18.
My point wasn't that this should be done, just that it's a more viable option if moral busybody legislators actually want to legally restrict children's access to adult content instead of finding creative ways of harassing Pornhub.

Obviously porn blocking should just be something parents should concern themselves with, and parents alone. Software and device vendors already provide all the necessary tools.
Couldn’t a proxy just bypass this filter?

Just as with the “you must be at least 18 to view this site, only click ok if you’re at least 18” popups, I’m pretty sure a smart 17 year old could figure out that notpornhub.com silently drops the special filter tag but is otherwise identical to pornhub.com

It’s not mentioned in the article, but I also think that learning how to debug and observe the behavior of C programs is useful given the limited ability to catch issues at compile time and high likelihood of code weaknesses and errors in C. Learning not just a traditional debugger like gdb or lldb, but also at least being introduced to tools like perf, strace, and ideally more powerful things like dtrace or bpftrace would be very helpful.

In my own Masters program we had a class on software systems which heavily featured both practical coverage of C and lots about debugging and observability. One of the most aggressively _useful_ classes I’ve taken.
A few good C books have come out in the time since this article was first published, 2016.

Reminds me of a Tweet circa 2021 where someone asked if they should stop using the word seminal because it might micro-harm people.
Except the mDL specifically accounted for this and allows anonymous age verification records and it’s a standard so there’s no real lock in (there’s some on the provider side in terms of the IT systems to do the signing but that’s self inflicted in many ways). And the lock in described in that section that alludes to the mDL seems mostly like FUD - there’s no requirement you use a Google/Apple wallet. Indeed most of the pilot programs are starting with apps released by the motor licensing agency itself. Now there may be more “lock in” enforced to close loopholes for the really technically minded, but honestly this feels like a fine middle ground starting point.

>The burden should be on them to ensure their child is not consuming porn

This argument is essentially that it's acceptable for websites to show porn to children if their parents don't care or are fine with it.

It's a horrible, dangerous thing regardless of if parents are involved are not, and therefore should not solely be the responsibility of the parents.
> Also, the parents do have quips/groaning about the requests of the kids from time to time which is does add to the authenticity.

I love the episode where the mom is trying to leave the house with the kids, and she just runs back into the bedroom to scream for a bit before coming out to talk.

Might misremember the details, but it immediately made me love the show.
I'd rather use Nostr and a client focussing on long posts :)

Yeah - just a simple contract stating exactly that.

Presumably the price they go in with is so low that it’s a no brainer and being contractually bound is functionally zero risk.

.Net and ASP.Net Core, Maui, and maybe Avalonia.
You’re thinking about AV as it’s been rolled out in the past few years in places. But the mDL / mobile passports don’t require that - it’s a signed record that a certain government agency signs. It can be something like signing what kind of vehicles you can operate but also can be just an anonymous age verification check. The standards body for this was explicitly thinking about privacy-preserving mechanisms to do AV (I know because I attended some meetings and observed the discussions they were having).
Companies typically use Carta to manage their cap table, shares, and overall ownership of the company.

This requires a high level of trust as there is a lot of financial information at stake.

Carta seems to be taking this confidential information and is potentially sharing it with other investors and soliciting investors to sell their shares.

This is a big no-no.
Why the implication that we measure industrialisation in number of people? People are almost categorically not a factor in industrialisation. It is all about processes, technologies, expertise, organisation and economics.

The English speaking world has been on a decades-long campaign to reign in industry. Energy availability has been reduced. Environmental protection has been given supremacy. Manufacturing outsourced to Asia. An impenetrable net of regulations put in place to force businesses to conform to the average. There is the pattern of bailing out incompetent managers so that the financial system doesn't have to reform. In that environment, number of people is a weak metric.

The US has people, educated people and otherwise great people. I don't think at any point anyone has accused this of being a people problem. The issue is that capable people are being prevented from improving the situation.
Maybe somebody in HR goofed up and didn't keep required documentation. They didn't want to admit their mistake so they couldn't squawk about you not doing it.
