I don't recall having issues with that on the handful of occasions I used it.

It's not a particular hard format to parse. Basically it's just a list of stuff. Boggles the mind that you would use a different format for exporting a list of a urls that point to lists of stuff than for those actual lists of stuff. Either way, parsing a list of stuff is not rocket science. But you could just use RSS or Atom for this.
Relying on taxes instead of Proof of Work kind of goes against core premise of Bitcoin: not relying on centralized authority. To make sure that all miners pay taxes you need tax office to collect them. And of course some criminal miners would find a way to avoid those taxes, making it 90% cheaper for them to mount 51% attack.
Not sure, who handles .htaccess then? Some plug-ins heavily rely on it.
So to paraphrase, the problem is around context passing between threads, which makes sense.

Sounds like that could be solved by a language surfacing the context at thread boundaries like the `go` statement, possibly channels.

Thanks for the answer!

I think people are reacting to what seems like an attack: the implication that having hundreds of accounts and not studiously pruning them is ‘pathological’. But I think your point is actually a valid one - yes, you can over time accumulate vast numbers of logins, but do you really need to hoard the login details? The majority of the passwords I have in 1Password are in the ‘Never Used’ section. I am definitely not going to spend the time to delete these accounts with the provider, but some I probably could have avoided creating in the first place and it’d probably improve my quality of life if I just delete the entry in 1Password and rely on email recovery or a new account if I ever went back. But, I’m not going to do that, because it’s really not much hardship and to be honest I appreciate the breadcrumb trail of my life on the internet for the past 30 years.

As for the security implications, if you want to hack the account to some magazine I was subscribed to 10 years ago, supply new payment details and reactivate my subscription, go wild. If you’re losing sleep about that sort of thing then it really _is_ pathological.
Yeah, usually Jira hate is really convoluted company process hate. Of course the Jira software isn't perfect, but it's fine. Jira's strength and weakness is it's flexibility.
We have all of that neatly extracted into a Terraform module. Write it once and now EKS clusters are essentially disposable.

For big companies such as banks this cost comparison is not as straight forward. They have whole data centres just sitting there for disaster recovery. They periodically do switchovers to test DR. All of this expense goes away when they migrate to cloud.
Also much prefer GCP but gotta say their support is hot steaming **. I wasted so much time for absolutely nothing with them.

I was simply asking that we don't recycle the same metadiscussion yet again.
You will not be disappointed! I use a black Lamy cp1 as my "daily driver" for the last, I don't know, 35 years? I got it in school as a present and it is lying here, next to me right now. The varnish has rubbed off at the sharper edges and the metal shows. I changed the nib about 20 years ago, at the end of my academic career. Somewhere in the 2010s the small ring in the cap broke, so that it did not stay closed anymore and I had to replace it. I started out with black ink (uh edgy) but changed to blue later. I love Pelikan's 4001 Royal Blue, it is so smooth.

I also have a few other fountain pens, among them a Montblanc M146. It is crap for writing and I only bring it to put it on the table in certain meetings -- the same ones where I actually wear my Speedmaster ;)

A script, by its very nature, is synchronous. You run, you get a result. If you want a service, don't use a script.
Proton is perfectly fine and as secure as email gets. I would think there is some sort of a FUD campaign going on against them, if I didn’t believe that people are dumb enough to endlessly spout bullshit on topics they know nothing about without external motivation.
Haha very good catch. I prefer GCP but I will admit any day of the week that their support is bad. Makes sense that they would value good support highly.
Half the stuff is K8s related... Makes me very happy to use Cloud Run.
I don't think it was necessarily implied, actually. Depends how you parse that sentence. For example it goes on to say "and lots of things can go wrong". But that is very much about the birth, not the observation.

Either way, I am not sure that watching a couple of births qualifies anyone to say whether birth being "traumatic" is a question of cultural assumption :-)
I agree, this doesn't match my experience at all. I recently replaced a top loader that took about 30-45 minutes a load with a front loader of similar capacity. The front loader does all loads in about 30 to 35 minutes.
And, protip: the secret is bakers' percentages.

That is, to scale a recipe up or down, hold the relationships of ingredients proportionate to that of flour, by mass.

E.g., a typical starter is fed at a 100% ratio: 1 unit of flour to one unit of water. So, 100g, 1,000g, 200g, whatevs. Similarly for your dough, which is often described in terms of hydration. A very low hydration might be 50%, a typical novice dough about 60--65% (excellent for pizza crusts and rolls in my experience), 80% should start giving a very open crumb (with large voids and bubbles), and 100%+ used for high whole-grain flour, or very open-crumb breads. Higher hydration makes for more challenging handling, though with time most bakers develop a feel for this.

There are of course a myriad of other factors, and one of the joys (or frustrations) of sourdough baking is exploring those parameters. My experience is that even my disasters taste amazing, though visual appearances may be less impressive. Amongst those: temperature (hugely significant for both starter and sponge/dough/proofing), proofing time (warm and cold/retarded), types of flour, age of flour, oven temperatures, humidity, and probably a whole lot more. Again, even when things don't go to plan, the results are almost always rewarding. When you do happen to hit the magic balance, it's amazing. My bad batches are still amongst the best bread I've ever eaten.

Good baking books and online guides will discuss this.

They're not abandoning AI yet. They are however compromising it pretty heavily with overblown claims about how it's going to make people's lives better. They also have little to no profitability model around it and the development is operating at a heavy loss with the hope that they can break even with silicon advancements and user count down the line.

The thing is 99% of the people I know either played with their proposition and found it irritating or don't give a shit. They literally just want to be left alone and for people not to keep changing things. The machine is a means to an end and that end is well defined for them already. Only the tech and investment industries are gushing all over this and the latter are only riding the hype.

Tools of the Wild: Unveiling the Crafty Side of Nature
> my immediate reaction to the article was "just don't sign up for
things, have a small number of passwords for a small number of vital
things, no problem."

I recently interviewed a bunch of people in the age range of 30 to 70
on "personal cybersecurity". A surprisingly large number, no, in fact
the overwhelming majority though the same way as you... once you get
to the limits of your memory with passwords it's dangerous and
counterproductive to reach beyond that and it's time to cull and
prioritise according to "attic theory" :)

Unfortunately many online services don't make it easy to delete
accounts, nor do they time out after a sensible period like one year.

> Somewhere I have a page in a notebook with 20 or so passwords
written down (in the basic cipher I've used since I was 12)

Before anybody tells you that "using a basic cipher" is weird or
eccentric, maybe half of the over 50s I spoke to, all regular folks,
told me they use the same paper notebook kept in a safe place at home
plus some obfuscation. Also about "two dozen" (24) accounts seems the
average pool.

Any more than that and I think the system is working backwards,
placing an undue security onus onto the person and not the service.

Passkeys have their use (I keep some super important pass phrase
protected ssh keys somewhere physically safe). And some people need
to maintain a very large collection of access tokens, like if you're a
system administrator and that's your job.

But I think creating a tower of cards that enables people to maintain
over 300 accounts for casual, personal use, is a disservice and
actually encourages bad security practices.
Many people only have one or two devices. Even if someone owns many, they're only one abusive partner or house fire away from losing them all. Even if I were to instill robust self-custody practices in 90% of the populace (an impossibly high bar if mere password hygiene hasn't caught on in 30 years), the remainder is still millions of people who will be locked out their entire digital life permanently.

Wow, I was looking around for a cheap email provider lately for a secondary account and Skiff seemed to be the only one to offer everything I was looking for on their free plan. Almost seemed to good to be true - so I concluded it probably was and went with a more expensive but trusted option. Glad I did.

I'm at the stage where for anything important I will be very reluctant to choose software that hasn't been around and well known for a long time. I can't recall the name of that idea that the longer something has survived, the longer it can be expected to survive in the future but it's definitely applicable to software.
Thanks for sharing. Really interesting website

oculus always wanted the walled garden approach, but steamvr had so much more content that users were unhappy that their vr display device wouldn't play steamvr games even though it technically was possible (in fact people hacked it in before it was officially enabled).

Now that oculus has made the device cheaper so more non pc gamers are playing I'm sure they're selling more software themselves. Valve also hasn't launched a headset in a while and wasn't targeting low budget headsets at all.

Don't even pretend you think that's what I'm trying to say. Read my response again you need to.

> There are experts in technical fields who would find value in having an AI triage patients

I already said this. I'm not saying experts in technical fields cannot find value in AI; I'm saying that they have enough knowledge to be able to expose the fragility of the models. Triaging patients doesn't require expert knowledge, which is why AI can do it.

> or to cross reference court cases and check arguments for them

I seriously doubt that, actually. Are you, or is anyone else saying this, a lawyer? My position is that you have to be an expert to be able to evaluate the output of the models. It looking like it knows what it's talking about simply isn't enough.

When it talks about XSL stylesheets, which in theory you can use to have all your documents be XML and transformed into HTML, it’s worth noting that this is a part of browsers that’s been neglected for over a decade, with the minimum of maintenance to keep it still roughly working, and it shows. The failure modes are bad, and a lot of it is very difficult to debug. It’s like opening a portal to how you’d develop pages fifteen or more years ago.

The worst problem I know of is that loading an XML file with an XSL stylesheet into a new tab in Firefox just hangs. Has done for years, and I still haven’t searched for a bug report about it (surely someone’s already reported it). Try opening https://kmaasrud.com/blogroll.xml in a new tab (Ctrl+click or whatever), and observe the correct document title, but how the actual document area remains blank and the status bar says it’s still “Transferring data from kmaasrud.com…”. A quick Ctrl+R and it loads just fine the second time.
I don’t get what you’re about. The root comment clearly presents a structure of a separate type. The fact that it happens to contain a single string field is completely irrelevant (what type an actual username should be, a float?). “Stringly typed” is about stringifying non-string values to save typing work and is not applicable here in the slightest.
You’ve never found comfort in a show, movie, book or video game?

The setup of a mail server is not very hard. An intermediate to beginner admin can do it.

On of the hardest parts is spam filtering both for incoming and outgoing traffic. In particular outgoing, so, e.g., a compromised or malicious user, can have harsh repercussions by big providers like M$ (Outlook) and Google. You can find a myriad of stories just on HN about these platforms literally not even allowing you to apply for access after an incident happened.

And your users won't care that M$, Google or Yahoo behaves like this, they will only care about their emails not being delivered by/ to you.

I had an internship at $company that offers manages hosting for Email along with web shops. The technical setup is the easier part of the business.
> You don't have to go as far as Coq.

No, you do. Anywhere the type system is incomplete means that the consumer can do something the library didn't intend. Rust does not have a complete type system. There was no relevance to mentioning it. But I know it is time for Rust's regularly scheduled ad break. And while you are at it, enjoy a cool, refreshing Coca-Cola.

> Go's zero-values are the problem

"Sometimes it's nice to work with a type system where designers of libraries can actually prevent you from writing bugs." has nothing to do with zero-values. It doesn't even really have anything to do with Go specifically. My, the quality of advertising has really declined around here. Used to be the Rust ads at least tried to look like they fit in.
Requirments are a pain. On different distributions they are located in different packages. I should install top 20 most used distributions and try to build on that distributin. That would be quite a fun process.
The idea of Mobile WebOS wasn't bad on itself, but execution at Mozilla, both management direction and workload just wasn't up to the speed of Google Android or Apple iOS. They were targeting Smartphone of $35, thinking in the future most of the smartphone sold, the entry level phone will be at that price range. Falling into the same fallacy as Bill Gates, all hardware will eventually cost next to nothing, software is expensive. [Note] Bill said that in 00s and Mozilla thought of it in early 10s. So somewhat 20-30 years later Silicon Valley still has zero understanding of how Hardware and Supply Chains works.

Not only did that $35 dollars phone never happened, average selling price of iPhone was $700+ selling at hundreds of millions of unit every year. Mozilla later had to revise the target to $50 phone which was still wrong. It just shows software people simply dont get it.

And they had the vision of running the OS, preferably with Javascript only. Writing all modules in JS if possible. It was the early days before asm.js or WASM. And they spend a lot of time battling this. One engineers even wrote the culture was so JS-focused no one dare to ask why some of these aren't written in C++.

All that combine with rapid pace of development in Smartphone software. They lost out and it is now forked into KaiOS. Which is doing surprisingly well without Mozilla.

Mozilla kind of feels like Xerox in many ways. A lot of great "ideas" came out of it. But they never manage to capture much value.

[Note] It does seems counterintuitive, but 20 years later may be ChatGPT / LLM will make software cheaper faster than hardware getting cost reduction.

You seem to either not know the definition of the word "fair", or are simply engaging in bad faith. I'll presume cognitive limitations rather than malice for now.

In the context of this thread, this is a good summary of what is happening here:

> Apple's decision to alter the functionality of PWAs specifically in the EU could be interpreted as an attempt to navigate the regulatory landscape imposed by the DMA, but it may simply want to prevent users in Europe from using web apps with alternative browser engines. The company has not yet commented on its motivations.

Using PWA in a different browsing engine could be a viable way to bypass some limitations on the platform. Apple obviously doesn't want that, as it profits from those limitations.

Apple is abusing its power as the owner of the platform to both limit competition (everyone has to pay the rent for being in that platform) and limit user choice. It is inherently unfair.

If Microsoft did something similar on Windows, everyone would be up in arms about it, rightfully so. But when it is Apple there is a very tiresome parade of sycophants white-knighting for a manufacturer of luxury tech toys.

There's nothing else to be said on this matter. I'll not engage on this conversation any further. Feel free to have the last word.
