Of course it's because security is not mandated. In the past, and in the present, there are many companies who are willing to kill people for the sake of profits, if they can get away with it legally.

Ask HN: Are developer tools startups fighting a losing battle?
I’m asking this in light of Weaveworks closing up shop and the little investment into developer tools startups.

I’m trying to understand this area since I don’t see developers paying for the tools they use (They use OSS software most of the time) and don’t like closed source software either.

So it doesn’t seem to make sense to build a closed source dev tool for developers which will in a few years an open source competitor will copy all their features.

Even if your strategy shifts to open source, I find it difficult that anyone would pay for ‘locked’ features.

In any case I don’t see a moat nor a TAM in this sector and I am most likely going to see more developer tools startups folding up, getting acquired or just becoming stagnant and not growing.

For any developer startup tool there will always be an open source competitor and usually open source wins in the long run.

And it seems like trying selling tools to developers is like selling ice to eskimos.

Is this all a losing battle in this space?

Well, the report says "During the build process, one quality notification (QN NW0002407062) was noted indicating the seal flushness was out of tolerance by 0.01 inches.

So I'd say they've had about 2,407,062 quality issues :)
Don't they? Surely they make some interest on the money if it is parked for any length of time? Plus transaction fees and such? And individuals probably get bonuses etc. based on volume in some way? (IANAB(anker), just wild guesses here.)
Hybrid cloud with mainframe in-house colo is actually quite a safe play. You are reducing your reliance on providers like AWS, which may start increasing prices in the near future.

Exactly. Some properties of the medium are inherent. No amount of "bad actor" excuses change that, and possibly even affect the usage.
That white paper was written when? 2008, give or take a couple years? "Speed," as we refer to it, is relative to the age. In 2008, the threshold for terms like "fast" was much lower than it is today.

Why bother using a mainframe LPAR for Linux at all? In most cases, it makes much more sense to run it as a guest under z/VM.
In most cases `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: ` is actually a decent policy. It importantly blocks cross-site credentials. So as long as your API has any* authentication it should prevent it.

The real mistake is mirroring the Origin header from the request in the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header which allows credentials (unless you add other headers)

Of course this all relies on you not accepting form posts without auth.
Several years ago the team I was on worked on a custom app for Splunk. We were on a customer call where they were receiving HTTP 402 Payment Required in their error logs and thought it was coming from our app. We explained we never implemented that error code (although I got paranoid and did triple check our code) so the conclusion was that Splunk must be returning it. Even searching the web today, it appears they never documented that but there are several Splunk community forum threads asking about HTTP 402. If you do use it, it's probably best to clearly document exactly what you want your users to pay for, and how!

NVIDIA are really keen you understand their hardware, to the extent they will give you insanely detailed tutorials on things like avoiding shared memory bank conflicts. It's rare to find so much detail from CPU vendors in my experience. Perhaps because CPUs, with their out of order execution and branch prediction, are just much much harder to predict and understand than the comparatively simple in order GPU cores.

The first Luddites were artisans and cloth workers in England who, at the onset of the Industrial Revolution, protested the way factory owners used machinery to undercut their status and wages. Contrary to popular belief, they did not dislike technology; most were skilled technicians.
Why? I don't want a bunch of small operators independently moderating, or hope for a bug free implementation of a smart contract. The whole point is regulatory instead of technical protection. I don't want code to supercede the laws that exist to protect us.

I especially don't want my finances under the care of the kinds of companies and opportunistic individuals normally drawn to crypto. One mistake and everything is gone. That's only a plus if you're a cyber libertarian. I would much sooner trust a reputable brand or government.
Apache Tika is time-tested and, by some, considered a legacy toolkit. With Tika running as a container and the use of Python bindings, it's possible to get a text extraction experience that is as easy to build with as newer frameworks like Unstructured, but also matches the extraction capability of dedicated extraction models like Nougat. Kind of surprising!

Furthermore, using a backing object store (i.e. MinIO) to hold the source documents is very useful (whether the extracted text is being used for RAG or an LLM training dataset).

If you have done all that and all you have to say is "police are scum", you've learned the wrong lessons. Police are here to stay. I don't like how they can skirt the laws but calling them scum isn't fixing the issue. Negativity is unattractive. Moderates will be put off by your hate.

Don't bring up nazis online, it's such a tired argument that people straight up ignore it.

You appear to be an activist but you have no recommendations of what changes in policy ought to happen. There are so many protesters in my city like that. They're disruptive and offer no solutions. That's not progress, it's laziness.

> when people are getting rich, they prefer to have less kids.

People are also having less kids because they are too poor. It's hard to pair off in an economy where 4 typical incomes are needed to make basic bills.

I know young people who aren't dating because there's presently no point. They aren't in the minority who earn enough to pay for half a household - nevertheless afford children.
The problem with web payments isn't the lack of a standard API, it's everything that happens under the hood. As a developer it makes no difference to me whether the browser natively supports a payments interface or I add it in via one line of JavaScript. Now tell me how to deal with credit card fees, sales tax, direct debit, crypto transfer and a million other jurisdiction-dependent payment mechanisms and rules. Does the standard account for the fact that in India every online credit card payment requires a one-time code sent via SMS? Or that every bank has its own online payments interface? Or that UPI is now a thing? The folks publishing the Web Monetization spec sure aren't thinking about any of this.

I did all that. It wasn't enough. They kept getting another family member to send them a new invite and then manage to somehow create a new account in the web UI each time. I guess that workflow worked for them so they didn't want to change it.

Critical Questions about Patient Care in Cryonics and Biostasis
Why not focus on reengineering our political and economic systems and their inefficient built in contradictions, like optimizing for consumption?

Things used to be built to last. Planned obsolescence coupled with a human drive to consume needlessly are completely unnecessary to happiness, but decades of propaganda have convinced us otherwise. People don't need to keep driving to their fake jobs, etc.

That is difficult to answer without knowing a lot more about what is wrong, why you took the job in the first place, what your other options are, how much saving you have, your personal goals, living/family situation, etc. Not to mention the most basic of questions - if you could fix any problems with your work, would you want to do so and stay?

I will say that people tend to either leave too soon without giving a reasonable attempt to resolve concerns, as well as do the opposite and stay too long when there is no way the concerns can be fixed. A healthy middle ground can be difficult to navigate.

Try to look at facts, not emotions. That is sometimes easy, but other times negative emotions are the problem. In those cases, try to re-structure them into objective statements, like: "This work environment includes {behavior A}, which makes me feel {emotion B}, resulting in {negative impact C}". Going through such an exercise may seem contrived (and it is), but it still is likely to bring you a more clear answer of whether or not to stay, and maybe even a better understanding of why you are even asking the questions, and some actions you could take to improve the situation.
One of the major reasons why I don't use or recommend NextDNS is because they force you to use their DNS resolver when a DNS resolver like Quad9 has vastly superior threat intelligence.
Here in Norway, cannabis use is pretty much equated with being a junkie. It gets hammered down from high-school, and police will treat users like career criminals. It is completely out of proportion.

As Bill Murray put it more succinctly: "I find it quite ironic that the most dangerous thing about weed is getting caught with it." which is most definitely the case here.
The lack of escape demonstrations are likely, at least in partv due to a fairly low availability of those systems to the security researchers.

I do not want to make it see that LPAR isolation is just waiting to be compromised, but security-by-unavailability also plays a part :)
Seventy years ago, when AGW climate change was recognised internationally at the UN in 1970s, during an oil crisis, the largest per capita users of fossil feuls and emmitters of CO2 were the North Americans.

They were open to change in behaviour at the time, it's a matter of public record that Koch Industries started to heavily fund a number of think tanks devoted to changing American perceptions; individual freedom is expressed by wanton consumption, bigger gas guzzlers are better, public transport is bad.

They, and their partners in the petro businesses, sank very nearly every grassroots movement for small, midle, and large city public transport launching, expansion, or improvement. They backed every move for more and more freeways.

What could have been a time that saw greater emphasis on resource efficiency and less fossil fuel consumption was not. What could have been a signal to all the then developing economies about the direction a world leader was taking remained so - and the message was consume, and consume more.

Developing better renewable energy sources was (and still is) only part of a bigger picture of changing behaviour.
A key point I read somewhere in the accusations is that non-Boeing contractors (e.g. Spirit) by policy cannot have access to CMES.

Consequently, you have a system of record that a major party to work doesn't have access to.

As we've all seen, this leads to "actual coordination" being instead done in a system all involved parties do have access to (SAT).

Which inevitably leads to a desync between CMES (SOR by fiat) and SAT (SOR in practice).
Yes, with the caveat that the same people who won't pay a cent for local dev tools will pay $100/month on SaaS. So every dev tool startup will probably migrate to SaaS if possible.

But that's not inherent due to gpus completely revolutionizing their aproach every generation, is it?

The main difference is that with cpu, the translation unit is hidden inside the cpu itself.
With gpus, the translation is moved from the device to the driver.

Old openGL code also will run in card that is newer then code itself.

The only difference is that with the cpus, it's open standard what is the instruction set, while on gpus, instruction sets are defined by third parties (DX12,Vulkan,OpenGL) while it falls to nvidia to implement them.
What's interesting to me is that the 60s and 70s had some very interesting (and now quite sought after) parts that were discontinued.

Minifigs really were the main demark where it went from "plastic building blocks" to "modeling toy/dollhouse for boys".
It is in fact a Swedish (and not a Swiss) company.
JetBrains seem to be doing pretty well.

There are numerous areas where I think all the options are bad (pgdmin4, DataGrip, and similar products by Oracle and Microsoft) and I can picture paying for something better.
I recall as a kid a sense of scarcity with my lego, even though I had quite a bit because it was one of the few reliable presents for me.

We couldn't afford the expensive sets, so I was always doing a little bit of the calculus about what interesting parts I could see on the box, whether they were in a color that I favored (if you want to build something mono- or dichromatic you have to have a lot of pieces in one or two colors), the state of disrepair of my minifigs (the helmet chinstraps back then were always breaking) etc.

It wasn't the first choice usually, but often once I'd narrowed it down to a couple in my price range, it mattered.

As an adult I happened upon a lego expo a couple times in a community center, and one that stuck out to me relates to your story. For a while there were sets with very long, spindly, curved pieces that always annoyed me, but the centerpiece of this exposition was a suspension bridge of Lego about ten feet long. The trusses that held the road bed were made almost entirely by chaining together those curved, spindly bits. God knows where he got that many of them and all the same color. And how much that cost.

The Fediverse “is complicated” only because it has been designated as such by countless bullshit media online posts, when Mastodon started to boom after the Twitter/Musk episode.

At some point, if people/users are able to understand the concept of emails, emails accounts and emails providers, they are able to understand the Fediverse that’s all.

> _I think this is the most important factor that Fediverse (and Mastodon) got wrong._
The Fediverse got nothing wrong or did nothing wrong, it was just portrayed as complicated, by some fing community manager of I don’t know which fing bulls*t company that must have been pissed/worried that all his job had to be redone on another service.
...and get none of the benefits of it.

This is like saying "for the price of car, you could buy 20,000 bicycles". While that's true, I'm not going to ride my bike from Texas to Disneyland.
> core 2 duos are 18 year old at this point

I recall that Microsoft periodically drops support for versions of Windows 10 AND drops support for hardware with newer versions. It looks like Windows 10, version 1909, which fell out of support in 2021, only supports Nehalem (2008) or newer CPUs. I didn't dig further back to see when support for Core 2 Duos was dropped but this makes me wonder what version of Windows 10 these folks are running.

Are they running 22H2 on unsupported hardware, or 1909 which just isn't supported. If it's the later case and old versions like 1909 aren't supported, shouldn't they just be excluded from these Windows Store releases entirely?

Is this just a matter of someone not specifying the correct OS version to target in the Store deployment?
It is routinely called Mastodon. Your response is a fantastic example of why nerd communities suck.
I took it to mean that someone forgot but the mistake would have been caught if the removal was documented in the authoritative record system, since that kicks off an automatic workflow where QA is notified and must sign off.

I'm working on something under a different use case that could fit for this, but maybe not at the scale people on this forum are looking for without additional support

I wont blab about myself here, but I do feel I have relevant background and a couple solid connections to implement something that works.

Cryptocurrency has failings for my use-case, based on what I've tried for designing around it so far. For strictly donating money in one direction towards a website, those failings may not be relevant though.

Sadly this project is not my day job, though, but it is something I plan to use for myself with or without more widespread adoption so it's moving forward regardless. I'm honestly only working on it because I wanted to do a different project that would work way nicer if tiny transactions with users are possible.
I feel like I keep reading the same comment from your profile every time except the order of words changes slightly. So much for expecting a meaningful response.

(please, please read the documentation first before making confident assertions, like in this case, and at least google discussed topics to actualize the knowledge on the points in favour of which you're arguing)
> Also, I think a lot of middle and upper level management needs to lose their jobs over this.

Given that if a worker doing the work raised this problem or took initiative to resolve it, they'ld probably be punished; I completely agree.

Reminds me so much of how, once-upon-a-time, there seemed to be actual engineering management in a cooperatively adversarial relationship with business managers but not anymore. Now any sort of engineering in business seems to be completely business managed and business minded. I'm sure it's great for profits while it lasts but I haven't observed engineering becoming better and I suspect business is suffering by overextending itself too, I just don't have any solid observations.

(Well, maybe one, my brother does warehouse / logistics management and says, despite there being every reason in the world, he has never seen the accounting software and the inventory software successfully and productively linked. So, big opportunity there for a serious player but maybe not the profitable compared to the issue?)
In Australia, "most" rural firefighters are volunteers, but have equipment and training providing by their local Government run rural fireservice (that has fulltime paid administrators).

The population density between Australia and the US is radically different though which changes the dynamic (deserts and marginal land exist in both, but Australia is particularly water challenged with no high mountains, so no major rivers).
