I don't think vast majority of Google users see it this way. The canceled products might be popular in HN, but have comparatively few actual users.

This seems to be consensus, yes.

This is a bad take. The author takes a tiny sliver of tech which is internet and within that picks cutting edge products (except for Google) and rants.

They should talk to more people outside of their bubble, especially in developing countries. Just about everything around tech has improved incomparably over last 15 or so years.

"Our business depends largely on sales of components for a single aircraft program, the B737 MAX"

-- Spirit Aerosystems 2022 10-K filing

They do 3 times as much business with Boeing than Airbus.

(Airbus may also wrap Spirit in their own Q/A process to mitigate the issues, which Boeing is certainly lacking)
I don't care for any airline, but while I see your disgust for United expressed often I haven't had any issues with them. Granted I only fly them a few times a year. Either they've improved a lot or I have been lucky!
This is the best series on YouTube far and away. Production quality rough at the beginning but do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing.
A few counterpoints:

* If going by the article, price has decreased from €130 to €95, a significant reduction even if not accounting for inflation.

* RAM has doubled from 2GB to 4GB.

* Per-core CPU performance has presumably increased considerably.
How did the airline know not to sit anybody in the seat right next to the door plug (who would have gotten sucked out and fallen to their death)? Like was it really just good luck nobody sat there?

I'm so surprised people aren't more terrified to fly. So many different things can go wrong. I know what the statistics say about driving versus flying but I feel like over time with all of these Boeing issues that statistic is slightly changing for the worse?

> According to the latest estimates, there are approximately 100,000 flights per day. This number includes all types of flights, including passenger, cargo, and military aircraft. Passenger flights alone account for over 90,000 flights per day, transporting millions of passengers to destinations all around the world.

I guess 365 days a year, 100k flights a day, 1 incident is really statistically low but... it's still terrifying to put yourself in a metal tube in the sky where the risk is non-zero you die!
Lesson learnt, removed 'baby' for the sake of brevity. Did not realize it has become such a pejorative (thought it was only in niche circle things). As a late Xer, I think I do not have my finger on cultural pulse.

Capcom have a history of doing dumb stuff with DRM. They also changed the DRM system with the Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter World, which created all sorts of issues, partly due to lazy CRC implementation. It lead to a whole cat and mouse situation of fixing their crap: https://old.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunterWorld/comments/ezpc49/....

And then there was Resident Evil 8 (Village), which performed checks every time you killed a monster, leading to horrible stutter that ended up being worse than the pirated version that ran better and forced the devs to get their stuff together: https://www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-8-drm-issues-unof....

They also issued free upgrades to Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7, but some of those upgrades had some performance regressions iirc, but the intentions were benign in this case.

All this to say that Capcom have done dumb DRM stuff for a while, but this particular case has had Capcom retroactively add DRM to older games across franchises, which, while new, also looks like the same old antics but applied more broadly. Or, in HN speak: incompetence at scale.

If it uses online services how long will they be maintained for and what functionality will be lost when they shut down?

If these promises are broken the user should get a full refund (or even more compensation).
I have 70 hours in this game (plus Sunbreak) on Deck, disappointed they broke it but it's really nothing new, as long as they fix it within a reasonable timeframe I am happy... plenty of other games for the meantime.

Especially if Dragons Dogma 2 is getting this same DRM, I would rather they break/fix existing titles and apply that work to DD2, versus launch it with zero support and I wind up unable to play! It's a process.

I mean, NASA’s Artemis program is basically demonstrating all the major logistical hardware needed for a Mars mission. If it goes well, we could be looking at a lunar landing in 3 to 5 years with a vehicle about 50 times larger than the Apollo LM (and for a cost of less than a NASA Mars robotic mission—like sample return—for the lander) and possibly a Mars landing 5 years after that. Optimistic, but not absurd odds.

It’s not a foregone conclusion that we won’t be on Mars in the next 60 years.

perhaps some people don’t see the value in getting a lot of use out of the devices, but that certainly doesn't mean it isn't possible!
Honestly, that's worse. If it were deliberate there would be some feet somewhere that could be held to the fire. In the case of incompetence, everyone just shrugs their shoulders and deals with it.

> You go home. So you shut things down.

Sorry for the rant, but this is usually wrong. The amount of people that just keeps their computer on is noticeable. And when I ask it's usually "just to avoid having to wait" or "I've always done that".

I personally always hibernate my computer. When I turn it off it takes more time, but I'm already on the other side of the building so I don't care. When I turn it on it takes basically the same amount of time, and it is exactly as I left it. People keep the computer on just because convenience...and I don't think it's a good thing.
You may be an outlier. nearly 20 years ago, my root canal was 2 sittings. In 2012, I had a mistranslation and the temporary work ended up lasting ten years. (I got it fixed up in 2022)

I think "engineer" isn't really the correct word to use for the artisans who build much of the tooling used by most companies.

An engineer either wears a striped hat and drives a train, or, went to a credentialed school and passed a bunch of test and is allowed to sign documents that state "this thing, if built this way, won't collapse and kill people."

It is expected that an engineer can predict with reasonable accuracy the expense and timeline of a project, and how to maintain the resulting thing, without resorting to voodoo like "scrum velocity." In large part that's because engineers stick to doing things that are well understood and predictable, and if there's risk they resolve the risk before undertaking the project. (Is there bedrock over here upon which to build a foundation? I don't know; let's find out first!). Sure, there are engineering disasters even today -- buildings that unexpectedly lean over and door/wall things that unexpectedly fly off the side of airplanes, but those are typically organizational / process problems not "engineering doesn't work" problems.

There's almost universal opinion on the mainstream, left and right that a cultural shift happened in the US between Eisenhower leaving office and Woodstock. It's not some narrative invented and pushed out.

The media does manufacture narratives. Youth in New York and San Francisco had a subculture in the 1950s which was framed as beatnik, and soon sitcoms were mocking beatnik. Small basement performance places would have patrons not clap to avoid noise complaints, so patrons would snap their fingers as applause. This was then presented as something unusual and pretentious, minus its original context. The same thing with San Francisco hippies - they arose organically, the mainstream culture took notice of them and presented them a certain way, and the cycle goes on.

Every social movement that arises is met with an attempt to coopt and to commodity by the corporate media and corporate America, this has happened for a long time.
In part yes, e.g. lots of people like SourceTree. Some of the complexity is inherent though, e.g. local vs remote branches and the various conflicts & errors as a result.
Git exists for 18 years, and yet the complexity problem wasn't solved yet. Other tools like SVN were never considered to be so hard to use / easy to screw up.

Out of curiosity, are there any VCSs that operate on AST instead of plaintext lines? (Or is something like this being developed or proven impossible?)

I guess it should be possible to cooperate on shared codebase without need for every contributor to check in and out text files following exactly the same formatting. Or even naming convention. Or even same language, provided all collaborators can transpile to and from some agreed-upon shared AST target.

I know it might seem unhinged at first, but think about it: your (parseable) code is representation of the tree anyways (with some unrelated "whitespace fluff" around). If you follow strict formatting rules that you can express programmatically, you can recostruct that "fluff" from bare AST. If you can store all your violations against your style near the code, you can even sin and break it. If you store data about what you need to see differently from the shared AST - local renames of variables, for example - then you should be able to use your own naming convention, formatting and even source language, without bothering collaborators with tabs/spaces, hungarian notation or the fact that you prefer some different dialect or metalanguage.
Compare with what existed when NCP (RFC 33) was in use.

An early FTP protocol (452, 454, 542) originally used a server listen port of 3 (and hence a server "return port" of 2*), but 542 allowed temporary use of port 21 as the protocol was changed. A different pair of ports (even or odd depending upon TX or RX end) were used for the data channel, and the port picked was related to the Telnet protocol port in use.

RFC 640 then seems to have fixed the use of port 21 instead of 3. Then when TCP came in to use RFC 765 seems to have simplified things somewhat, sticking to port 21.

Also see RFC 165 for the/a Telnet Initial Connection Protocol showing the use of the two even/odd ports for forming a bidirectional connection.

* Or 4, but I believe the return channel was one port below, not above.

I second this, Kagi is amazing.
The biggest risk I see to these Internet-hosted services is losing access to features (or, worse, 100% device functionality) when servers inevitably go away. That's why I won't use them. (Privacy is a concern to me too, but secondary. I wish the situation were good enough that I could worry about privacy.)

What boggles my mind is how the average person seems so accepting of this. I get this pervasive sense that because "it's computers" or "computer adjacent" it's a given that you'll have to accept loss of functionality as devices age.

I guess it needs to get a lot worse before it gets better.
The population decline is massive in many regions and also compounded by decades of the trend. You also have to account for that the decline in young people is larger than the total population decline, since old people live longer.

So if in the past a normal year would have a 20% population increase from births and 15% decline from deaths, totalling a 5% increase, today you'll maybe have a 10% increase from births and 10% decline from deaths, which looks like a standstill, but is actually a -50% decline.
Half is this is that they put roundabouts in places they make no sense.

Not really hidden if there's keyword indicating it's happening, no? I guess you could argue that "defer" isn't called "defer_and_allocate", but on the other hand, the docs make it clear that it allocates.

From what I understand, cars are a bit more complex now then garages. KeeLoq, from my understanding, is not 'breakable' like garage doors. It does have weaknesses, but more related to the raw cryptography/math. Since KeeLoq is a cryptographic function, it can be broken by brute force or by gaining access to the manufacture key.

For the amplification attacks, my understanding of them is that the key fob and car may be able to detect this kind of attack, but require more logic/software to do so. Also, most of these attacks use high frequency 'backhaul' wireless networks (key fob at 3-400Mhz, backhaul at 2.4-5 Ghz Wifi with lower latency) to prevent such timing/signal-noise from being detected. If I had to guess, most key fobs/cars are more focused on making sure the key fob works at range or in hard-to-detect environments and not focused on preventing such relay/amplification attacks.

Also, some similar attacks to what you linked could also be done against Bluetooth (I think Tesla had this issue in the past few years) with a simple Bluetooth range extender/relay setup.

(Note: without one of those devices, most of this is just guesses/what I've seen is possible/theoretical in terms of attacks)

I found that the problem happens mostly when companies

1. Don't ask developers how much something costs, engineers love optimisation, getting as much as possible out of a system for cheap is great fun.

2. Lock down the UI, so devs can't even find out how much things cost. That's my current situation. Why block the billing dashboard, then expose it through billing dashboard tools that are not really any better, and in many ways worse?

It's rhetorical really as I know why. Terrible architecture from "enterprise". Stick everything in a single account so it's hard to figure out how much is your spend. All 3000 databases, and make sure your k8s cluster is 5 8XL boxes so no one can scale down excess capacity.
