Further cementing this broken idea of "identity" as something that can be stolen is most certainly not what we need! Rather we need AG's to start going after companies that attempt to collect negligently verified and other fake debts for the outright brazen fraud that it is, and a law that allow victims to procedurally recover triple damages for time/money spent defending against these companies and helping the companies clean up their own messes. Separately, we need a law like the GDPR that lets individuals audit, control, and opt out of the surveillance records being kept on us.
If we scale the rock up to earth, the ontological boundary would be similar, so maybe the earth is conscious?
Seems like a wealthy person's toy/puzzle to me. Maybe it came with a set of wooden balls to fit into the holes.
It's an annoyingly OOP model with mutations and side-effects, but if you look past that, it's pretty nice. The core idea is you create an instance of a CDK "App" object. You create new instances of "Stack" objects that take an "App" instance as a context parameter. From there, resources are grouped into logical chunks called "Constructs" which take either a stack or another construct as their parent context param. The only things you should ever inherit from are the base Constructs for Stack, Stage, and Construct. Don't use inheritance anywhere else and you'll be okay.

The code then looks something like this (writing this straight in the comment box, probably has errors):

// Entrypoint of CDK project like bin/app.ts or whatever
import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib'
import { MyStack } from '../lib/my-stack.ts'
const app = new cdk.App()
const stack = new MyStack(app, 'StackNameHere', someProps)

// lib/my-stack.ts
// Imports go here
export class MyStack extends cdk.Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props: MyStackProps) {
super(scope, id, props)
const bucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'MyBucket', {
bucketName: 'example-bucket',
})
const lambda = new NodejsFunction(this, 'MyLambdaFn', {
functionName: 'My-Lambda-Fn',
entryFile: 'my-handler.ts',
memorySize: 1024,
runtime: Runtime.NodeJS_20X
})
bucket.grantRead(lambda),
tracing: Tracing.Active
})
}

The best part is the way CI/CD is managed. CDK supports self-mutating pipelines where the pipeline itself is a stack in your CDK app. After the pipeline is created, it will update itself as part of the pipeline before promoting other changes to the rest of your environments.

The equivalent CloudFormation for the above example would be ridiculously long. And that's putting aside all the complexity it would take for you to add on asset bundling for code deployed to things like Lambda.

TL;DR: Infrastructure-as-code-as-code

The migration strategy for ipv4->ipv6 was just so horribly conceived that we'll be running both in parallel for decades.

TBH I think it would have been better if ipv6 was named something else entirely. Running TCP and UDP in parallel doesn't raise any flags, but running two versions of the same protocol in parallel is strange.
Exactly my thoughts. The Bialetti wouldn‘t have been the success it is if you had to make a science out of it.

I love seeing all of the nerdy (and wrong) explanations of it, when in reality somebody’s grandma took a look at it and said “oh that’s for sewing gloves”.

The Furby came out in 1998. Less than 50% of US homes even owned a computer at the time, let alone had Internet access (and that was usually dialup if they did). Cellular networks were largely voice-only and quite expensive. In short: even if Furbies had some way to record data (which they didn't), there would have been no practical way for them to exfiltrate it.
Very relevant skit

The airline that stands to lose the most with the downfall of Boeing is actually Southwest - whose fleet is entirely composed of 737s. Not MAX's yet, but that was at least the plan before more of these problems were exposed. I can't imagine how nervous the C-suite at Southwest is feeling.

Also - I wonder if Boeing even has the capability to build a new commercial airliner from scratch. The 787 was insanely expensive and had its own problems (remember the burning batteries?).
I will definitely use this! Also eager to see if it's fast enough to just run every time I save a bigger project.
The assumptions you have to make to arrive at the conclusion that Samsung doesn't put SD card slots in their phones so that people buy cloud storage from Microsoft seem a little excessive.
Why would you do that? Your firefox config should be kept in .mozilla/firefox (or is it .config/mozilla now?) and simply picked up by the new firefox binary. The only time this doesn't work is when you install an older version whose configuration "format" is not compatible with the newer version's one.

Edit: a sibling commenter just made me aware of the config for the "snappy" version actually resides in another directory. That said you can manually copy the files to the standard place
>> The competition for that space is seaplanes, including both floatplanes and flying boats

Airplanes operate in a hostel environment where the penalty for failure is severe. The translates into a lot of (good) regulation which makes planes expensive to make, and expensive to maintain.

Ground effect vehicles are more in the car/boat space when it comes to mechanical failure. Sure I'm not saying it can be made of some wire and duct tape, but the necessary mechanical standard is a -lot- lower (ie cheaper.)

>> . If you want to minimize environmental harm

Sure. Or stay home. There's always something better. But that wasn't the hypothesis. The statement was that its better than planes or (motor) boats.

Frankly, if an electric craft is charged from solar or wind, its already as good as a sailboat.
> Bloomberg says the 2028 car will offer limited autonomy features in line with what is offered by other electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla. The Apple car will require drivers pay attention and be ready to take over, as the car drives itself on roads and highways, similar to the current Tesla Autopilot system. This will represent a Level 2+ system; originally Project Titan was aiming for Level 4.

I much prefer this cautious approach, especially given the relatively long timeline they have to pull it off.

Curious to see what their design team comes up with!

So the funny thing is .. they didn't. They really didn't.

The original numbering plan for IP was that each network number became a /8. Which is how we miraculously ended up with 10/8, because network 10 was ARPANET itself, so 'flag day' left 10/8 vacant.

But back to the point at hand. IP itself is RFC 791, September 1981, nice and famous. The addition of classful networking because 255 network numbers wasn't going to last long, was RFC 790.

The first workaround for IP exhaustion was published before IP. It's been a Known Issue since day negative-one.
That would have to be a federal law passed by congress and signed by some president. Maybe some NYC law, but I can't imagine any other city in the US agreeing to that just because of some form of honor. If it turns out this is a thing, I will be thoroughly disgusted that we've spent effort on that vs something actual useful to the people.
Whatever we use @ work, I don't code on personal time
Sure, but frankly it's historically very hard to build a business around a specialized database, especially if you have competitors that are even 80% as good but free.

The cases where I've seen this work are when the DB offers something way ahead of what their competitors offer. For example, KDB+ was historically unrivaled when it came to ultra high performance time series storage and Aerospike is very hard to beat for extremely high performance multi-node K/V.

Otherwise there's little to stop a larger company from offering the OSS competitor to your DB as a service for a lower cost and invest eng resources to close the gap.
I suck at plenty of things and when there is software (or another tool) to help me, I am happy to use it. Software that helps with communication, at least on this level, is a new frontier and therefore, as always, people feel a lot of uncertainty.

As someone who seriously utilizes this particular tool, what do you think of those issues? For example, do you feel like the result has your own voice? Your own specific, precise thoughts? Does it help or hurt growth in communication skill? How do those things play out in real application of the technology and what is the best way to use it?

Incidentally, communication is a strong point for me and therefore ChatGPT doesn't benefit me much in that respect. I hate to think that my skill has lost most of its value, but working in technology, I can hardly complain when it happens to me: Are communication skills even needed now, or how has that need changed?
"It depends".

On one hand, if I were to have the goal to make a bunch of money, and software just happens to be the means to an end, making a gated software portal where I control everything would suit me very well. You get nothing until I get the money, and I only maintain what I want to maintain. (pretty much the model every SaaS has)

On the other hand, if I know I have a very small customer base, and everyone is making a lot of money or because of my program, and I don't really care that much about the money above a certain number, I might as well distribute it as a static/stale build. You get a binary, or a virtual machine or something like that, and it just does everything. Maybe if piracy were a concern I would add some sort of hardware dongle, but I would also be aware that it's going to get cracked anyway and the only people that are annoyed/limited by it would be my actual paying customers.

On the other more different hand (third hand?): if my program has requirements about robustness, locality or longevity, I would make sure it depends on as few things as possible, make sure that it's documented well enough for future users and administrators to run it on future environments, and perhaps not sell the software in itself as much as I'd sell support. The risk and downside is that specialised and unique software tends to be quite annoying and costly to create while there isn't a lot of telemetry or feedback to figure out what's working well and what isn't, so that would drive up the price significantly. I'd say you're looking at two orders of magnitude vs. a SaaS thing.
Thank you for your explanation. I thought homebrew would be possible if you have a legit game, have homebrew then just use the cert to play it and make the game console think it's a game. I think if it like a GameShark, you load it with a cert then you switch the game.
The simplest thing require full name, address, birthdate, age, yes age, mobile phone, fiscal number, last four digits of the credit card, expiration date of credit card, yomama’s maiden name, the middle 8 digits of your credit, your last used password, your pet’s name, the name of the high school you attended, favorite football team, a front and side pictures no smile no hats no glasses, hi resolution scan of government issued ID, and lastly the first four digits.

Romans used oil lamps for lighting generally, they had dipped tallow candles but the only uses we've seen of them in the imperial era are ritual use at altars, and dip candle use was generally later than the period the dodecahedra come from. The use of tallow dip candles that look something like a modern candle for illumination was adopted later than these artifacts, and those candles weren't well quality controlled, you can find images of them from the 500s, there's no apparent standardization on size.

Many of Alexander's "design patterns" were terrible for actual living on a reasonable budget. Like what are you supposed to do with that space when the children get older? I read the book and was not impressed.
Indeed I know all of this. But in terms of "what this code does," the information that a method is passed a block that calls another method is not particularly interesting. The major problem I have with this sort of DSL is it encourages people to infer what it does based on what the ad hoc method names make it sound like this is intended to do. So many of these custom DSLs are documented by example rather than by any decent specification. The attitude that these clever little grammars make it so you can "just read it and it's obvious" is, in my opinion, sloppiness in code comprehension taken to an extreme.

I want this too, there isn’t a great FOSS way to currently do this besides supabase or roll your own unfortunately. For PWA local save/write, try network update, refresh local upon success is the gold standard for data integrity. And for network reading fallback to local cache upon offline is great for UX. I haven’t found good tooling for this yet and i’ve been looking.

I prefer JSON to YAML as well. The lack of comments is a problem though. But I feel like this is a false dichotomy. Both kind of suck for this need, but I can accept that JSON is at least reasonable to work with if you need language agnostic config.
That’s honestly not very surprising when any company that does this has to suffer the consequences of… crickets?

No consequences at all. It’s no surprise that patching the holes costs them more.

It’s also that all these massive companies are absolutely allergic to any change. Unless legal gets wind of it everything can stay exposed if it means the status quo is maintained.
Pulumi may be declarative, but you use imperative languages to define your end state. The language you're actually writing your Pulumi in is what's most relevant to the point I'm making about maintainability. HCL isn't turing comlete, but even if it was, the point is that doing the types of things you can do in Python or other "real" languages is a major pain in HCL which effectively discourages you from doing that. I'm arguing that is actually a good thing for maintainability.

I have the DIY FW13 Intel 11th Gen with Fedora. I've had an overall positive experience and have enjoyed tinkering with it.

My only negative with it has been the issue specific to 11th gens where the CMOS drains and eventually dies if the laptop is left unplugged for days-to-weeks at a time.

On the whole Framework handled the issue well, there was no permanent fix without soldering or replacing the board. The company was upfront, provided support, a replacement battery, and even published a how-to on modifying the mainboard after the fact. With a start-up I was expecting some bugs. This one was irritating but not a deal breaker. I think how they handled the problem and how they've proven their commitment to upgradeability through the 12th, 13th, and Ryzen boards speaks well of the company.

While I am extremely keen on the AMD versions that have rolled out recently, I can't justify the purchase when my current FW13 still works well enough.

The FW16 probably isn't for me but I hope it's successful. I really want to see the docking station that can double as an eGPU using the FW16 discrete GPU module. There was a prototype mentioned in passing about a year ago but it's been radio silence since then. I hope the success of Framework laptops and the growing market for gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck makes the modular eGPU concept a little more reasonable. It's still incredibly niche but one can dream.

> Could that be because for these machines, the pedestrian deaths are usually members of the tractor drivers' family

I have a different guess after seeing tractors in use as a kid: Driving tractors is a high precision affair. You're moving around expensive equipment that you don't want to bump. You're plowing next to all sorts of hazards you don't want to fall into. You have to park within an inch of attachments before hooking them on.

Good sight lines help with all this.
I think companies should be punished by the free market. Actions should have consequences. Yes, thousands of flights and millions of people travel on Boeing aircraft without problems, but that doesn't mean you should continue to support companies who are careless when there's an equally viable option available (given that Airbus is a competitor to Boeing, Airbus has an alternative for every type of plane in Boeing's fleet)
I did use older keyboards like the one on the x220 as well and while the feeling was a little bit better, I just can't use a keyboard without a numpad (reason I am not using 14 or 13 inch laptops) and I also think the keycaps on the newer model are superior

Ask HN: Is it possible that all of this Boeing news is sabotage?
Like most of you, I've been watching all of this Boeing news come out recently but some of it seems...too convenient?

Loose screws? A wheel coming off of a plane on the runway?

People come out of the woodwork to criticize Boeing. The most recent on the front page today from United's CEO.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39106480

United, however, has been dealing with another story recently as well...

https://apnews.com/article/ntsb-investigation-united-airlines-flight-hawaii-7744614cd1202c938b550ea2cea4bafb

And it seems like the CEO jumping in is probably more of an attention shift than anything else.

Am I the only person seeing all of this Boeing news and thinking that it's unrealistic for a company this big, with this many highly trained people who's been making planes for this long...to suddenly turn into a stumbling buffoon of a company?

It just doesn't seem plausible.
>Why do people operate on the principle „if it is bad it had to be because of maximizing profits“?

HackerNews seems to hate companies maximizing profits, but loves when people like Elon run roughshod over shareholders. I don't get it, either.

It's galaxy-brain stuff to believe that Boeing's biggest holders decided to make a few extra bucks in one year, and sink the 100+ year-old company the next. Versus, say, your theory that it's a multitude of issues relating to corporate rot.
I see this may be a good replacement for general autofill features as well. Seemingly simple autofill tasks like filling e-mail, address, name, country etc... fields never "just works" for almost all sites since this relies on correctness of the target page implementation and devs usually never care of it. Large language models should be better on this task.
That is exactly what they were. You don't understand what a 'disinfo campaign' is then.
