Lo and behold, the "Deactivate Account" button kicks off a perpetual loop that asks you to "Sign In Again To Delete Account" then dumps you on the same profile setting page, which prompts you again to log in... so you can't really delete your account, at least on web, without the help of support.

This question has come up many times (here's one thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30807759)

Like others have said, pick the tech you want to use first, then find a good one that uses that tech! I would look for reviews, a history of updates, and a founder who knows their stuff.

There's many directories listing them - probably the most comprehensive one is here: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates

Good luck!

I used to write blog posts but quickly learned no one cares what I think and write. I used to share code as well using self hosted git repositories that were read-only.

I gave up both the writing and code sharing. My site is now a "who is" with a basic summary of me and serves as SEO fodder for anyone that Google's my name.

The other reason the site exists is because I wanted a private server for encrypted backups, private git repos, etc. I don't think I will ever go back to writing or sharing code. There's enough crap in the (internet) world, it doesn't need mine.

> Recently I contacted Glassdoor for an account-related issue. This led to them sending me email that I had to respond to. Big mistake.

So he put in a support request, likely via his account; they sent him an e-mail about it, likely to his Glassdoor account's e-mail. He replied from that e-mail address with his full name in the From: field, as most people do, and now they could link his full name with his e-mail address, and update his profile.

My favorite thought about the Voyager (and Pioneer) probes is that someday, thousands of years from now, humans will launch a ship or drone that will past by it in only a few days (if we last that long, odds are way down).

Another far more hilarious thought is I am glad they chose the Voyager probe for the first Star Trek movie and not Pioneer (hint: the letters dropped in the "mystery name")

It was pitched as an alternative standard library with the same API on Frontend (Reason or Bucklescript) and Backend (OCaml). That was before ReScript and before Darklang.
Ease of transport.

I’ve got a few trucks in which I could transport tons and tons of and but I’d struggle to move more than a few hundred gallons of water at a time. I’d guess most transportation outfits are similar and costs in accordance. Point: sand.
I keep thinking about this response from a glassdoor employee, and what it implies about their decision making processes:

I stand behind the decision that your name has to be placed on your profile and it cannot be reverted or nullified/anonymized from the platform. I am sorry that we disagree on this issue. [...] This is my final determination. I, as well as multiple members of my team, have reviewed your request several times, and I am considering this matter closed.

Probably we will at some point. It is possible that it will turn out that our whole world is, say an ever growing finite system with a simple rule. Say someone identifies some laws ruling the digits of pi, that's a physics, then they look more, and they observe that the CMWB pattern on the sky is in the pi too, and voila, we live in pi confirmed (or at least it would make it very plausible). Then protons exist, and protons are the way they are, because some properties of the circle.

This is a really good question we've thought a lot about

You're right that this kind of escalation is inevitable

a. From a business POV, we don't onboard any types of use-cases that we think go against the spirit of a good free web. I've had people ask if they could use our product to create Reddit voting or spamming rings and we didn't entertain it

b. From an open source POV, we prefer technologies like these be open source so website owners and other businesses can know what can happen, and decide how to approach it. Tools like selenium have existed for a long time -- largely to the benefit of the world!
Starship re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Views through the plasma
Thank you. Yes, I figured that real life engines could not throttle enough for the maneuver as stated. I am familiar with the gravity turn, but I just don't see how energy can be added continuously, uniformly right up to a circular orbit. But I've not really put much effort into trying to understand that, I'll start looking more at real life pitch angles at various altitudes. Maybe I just need to start that gravity turn sooner - you mention that it already starts in the first few seconds. Thank you.
You should request your data from a company like axciom. You can ask them to delete it while you’re at it.

They already know more about you than you’d ever want them to know. The fact that they hadn’t automatically matched your name before was either incompetence or simply being blocked by some frayed little law somewhere.

A little off topic, but his is a classic example of the problem where the laws just haven’t kept up with the technology.

Data collection and public government databases weren’t a problem when you had to go into some big office building somewhere to make a request, or maybe wait a couple weeks to sort it out through the mail.

Today, however, it’s easier than ever to gather this data at scales people can’t even imagine and this level of aggregation has eroded privacy to a degree that I don’t think is reversible anymore.

Anyway, here is a link to axcioms portal, although the cynic in me thinks that by requesting your data be deleted, all you’re doing is confirming your identity.

Hey, I've been there! My friend had an ancestor from Palmanova so we paid a visit.

It's ... too quiet. The countryside is pretty and you can take a nice walk on the outside of the walls that gives you a good view of the fortifications, but there's not too much else to do. There's a small museum with bits and bobs from WWII. The town itself is mostly modern buildings.

On the days we were there, they had a feast for the local saint and there were some trailers with shooting games etc (shot a ping-pong ball off a fountain and won a dolphin plushie :). The day we were leaving it seemed like things would get more lively as the central square was ringed all around by maybe 100 benches of farmers selling cheese, cured meats and all sorts of other local produce. I suspect there would be more people coming in, in the evening.
That can't be the difference. It's literally impossible - the comment above me is blaming OnlyFans for not catching it.

Not noticing something that isn't yet true is not blameworthy by any standard.

I run it in my homelab, because gitlab is really reasource intensive by comparison, and I need it to work when the network is out. The annoying part is that means outside contributions that support enterprise-y features are probably not going to be accepted. Gitea does not appear to use a CLA, so they at least shouldn't be able to re-license existing OSS, but the base license is MIT, so no virality.
i did the same and was so, so infuriated by that.
I don't know mate. Maybe you're right, but I still doubt it.

Once you're a CEO with hundreds of thousands of very smart people under you, making the wrong decision is much, much harder. There's some skill to it, but so few people get into that position that simply not making completely dumb decisions can already lead to success. A good company has self-sufficient people that don't need to be micro-managed.

I've said it many times before: give someone billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of talented individuals and I'm pretty sure they'll manage just fine. But we can't know for sure, so... maybe you're right in that sense.

Going back to the original point though, had he pointed out his decisions and vision, that'd be completely different compared to attributing it to "suffering and pain". That's plain silly.

Brands have to maintain a consistent niche within their core market.

Japan and TW, which are Nintendo HQ's core market, and Nintendo of Korea (which is staffed by Japanese and some Zainichi) view the Switch as a child's toy and something that is supposed to be family friendly.

On the other hand, in North America the Switch is increasingly marketed based on Millenial/Gen X nostalgia for the SNES/N64/GameCube/Wii, so the purchasing base is much more adult.

For most Japanese companies, there isn't much value in making strategic changes to core corporate operations in order to accommodate western tastes as it can contradict with tastes in the Asian market, and this is why "Nintendo of America" and "Nintendo of Europe" is essentially a separate entity from core Nintendo that mostly works on marketing, localization, publishing, QA, and some backend infra work for Nintendo Online.

This is the same story with Sony, Nissan, Toyota, and other Japanese firms as well.
I think your conception of the sophistication of all this is a good deal too high. Fobs are extremely low power devices with truly terrible (undersized) antennas. Fabricating a digital repeater to produce a modest amplification is not difficult. The high frequencies involved are a benefit to the attacker because a high gain antenna remains reasonably portable. The active bits are low cost, widely available COTS digital transceivers and MMICs; the same stuff the fob and vehicle is made from.

A obvious countermeasure for such attacks would be to have the car measure the RTT between the car and fob, exchanging some cryptographic credential. If it takes too long the fob is too far away and/or an attackers repeater is adding delay.
If engineers are motivated by the success of the company, you get a Boeing situation, where company is doing well and planes are bad.

Societal service? All companies are doing it, in some way or another, otherwise they would not have any clients and would close.

It's possible, sure. There's a blurry line between ADHD and autism, and ADHD is often comorbid when diagnosed with autism.

I would say, though, that ADHD medication can help with rejection sensitivity disorder and help regulate some emotional stress on top of the more well-known ADHD symptoms. Practically speaking, it doesn't matter where it comes from if it can be treated.

A Few Thoughts on "The First AI Software Engineer"
He keeps suing people for defamation that say he's not Satoshi. Just another case of a guy who needs attention but can't get it in a more positive way.
He took prescription medication that was not prescribed to him and is now judging the people it is meant for based on his own interaction with the drug. A drug that quite famously has entirely different effects on the target population.

That is either extremely ignorant or bad faith. Either way it's below HN's standards.
Haha, thanks for the chuckle.
Exciting to see this on HN. I think very soon agents like Skyvern will account for the vast, vast majority of web traffic.

> Federal law provides that someone convicted of involuntary manslaughter may face up to eight years in federal prison, but the base sentence for the crime under federal sentencing guidelines is a prison sentence of 10-16 months.

For the Lacey Act:

> For an individual, the criminal penalties are not more than 1 year in prison and a fine of $100,000 or twice the gross gain or loss. For a corporation the criminal penalties are not more than 5 years of probation and fine of $200,000 or twice the gross gain or loss. Restitution and forfeitures may also be imposed.

> If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years,

So, I don't understand where either you or OP are coming from. The intention is to paint the government as the irrational Bogeyman who's going to lock you up and throw away the keys when you 'lie about some animals', the same as when you kill a person. This is not correct, unless if you take the maximum for violating the Lacey Act and the minimum for manslaughter, basically using the extremes and calling it normal. Like some sort of 'Appeal to Extremes' fallacy.

So, to recap, OP said:

> You lied about the type of sheep you're bringing in? 5 years by 2 counts.

Wrong. It's 'no more than 5 years'. You really need to be on the far end of the spectrum to get the maximum sentence for something like this, which is usually punished by a fine + probation.

> Kill a guy, that's 10 years.

Wrong again, the minimum bar for killing a person is involuntary manslaughter which has a minimum of 10-month imprisonment (so there's no probation in the guidelines, it's a minimum imprisonment sentence) and a maximum of 8 years. If we're talking about murder in the first degree, then it's either life in prison or capital punishment.
I don't want therapists to empathize and feel my emotions, I want them to sympathize and understand why I feel that way. You don't want doctors who have compromised their judgment by being in emotional states from self inflicted empathy when trying to treat people in a judgment free and rational way. Taking my feelings seriously as another input to the question of my mental state is different than feeling a personal empathetic connection with someone who is supposed to be their patient.
Global estimates of fishing gear lost to the ocean each year
Well, wait, we can define "optimal" as the "current best way to play game X".

I haven't used Nintendo Switch's Online emulation service, but my understanding was that the N64 emulator for it was initially very bad (though I've heard they fixed it?). On emulators for Windows, playing the same game, they would boost the resolution to 1080p [1] and bump the frame rate up to 60fps for a lot of games, while not giving any real negatives. For example, I think Conker's Bad Fur Day plays much better on Project64 than the original cartridge, so I'd define that as "optimal", and probably better than it would be if it were on the Nintendo Switch service.

EDIT:

[1] Actually I could be off on that number. I thought it was 1080p, but I think that doesn't jive with aspect ratios. Still, it's a higher resolution than what the original hardware gave us.

It's a bit of a complex interplay. If the FAA were finishing their investigations very quickly, SpaceX could be more aggressive with their testing. But on the other hand, as SpaceX gets a better read on how long the FAA might take, they time their readiness to when the FAA will be done.

For example, here they waited ~1 week between Starship being ready and done with a wet-dress rehearsal. If they knew that the FAA would be finishing earlier, they'd try to get through the WDR earlier. But since there's plenty of other development and testing to do on the ground, they just do that in the meantime.

The FAA delays were more of an issue around IFT-1 because they really couldn't proceed on much without knowing how all the big systems they built would perform, they would've been working blind (and considering how the launch infrastructure needed further strengthening, doing too much more without that data would've probably been a waste of money). That isn't really the case now, while they wait on the FAA they can focus on the payload bays, refining the control systems, building the second launch tower etc.
Sadly this is becoming more common everywhere. Companies (and individual people) just don’t care about long term prospects. This includes SWE industry: if people switch companies every two years on average, why care about things like tech debt?

> Except, you know, Herb Sutter in the article we're supposedly discussing

"Saying the quiet part out loud: CVEs are known to be an imprecise metric. We use it because it’s the metric we have, at least for security vulnerabilities, but we should use it with care. This may surprise you, as it did me, because we hear a lot about CVEs. But whenever I’ve suggested improvements for C++ and measuring “success” via a reduction in CVEs (including in this essay), security experts insist to me that CVEs aren’t a great metric to use… including the same experts who had previously quoted the 70% CVE number to me. "

-Herb Sutter

That's from the article we're discussing and you knew that because you also acknowledged that:

> The author concedes that CVEs are not a good metric to measure by, but implies that maybe C and C++ have too many CVEs that shouldn't actually be CVEs and that the C++ community should take more control of CVEs being filed. This is ominous, and makes me fear we might start to see fewer C and C++ CVEs because issues will be closed as "intended behaviour" or "won't fix", like the filesystem issue above.

So you know that Herb isn't arguing that CVEs are ideal. You instead took a wrong baseline assumption (that C++ didn't care about the FS issue) and turned it into some weird claim that the result will just be the C++ community refusing to fix or acknowledge CVEs in order to drive the count down.

You're arguing two conflicting ideas:

Point 1: C++ is bad because there's no one ensuring CVEs & blog posts are filed for issues

Point 2: C++ is bad because a central CVE would just let them hide the issues they're desperate to hide

Despite your only evidence for either of these being something you made up entirely, as you eventually reluctantly admitted.
