I build a Mastodon client with Dioxus last year [1] and it was in general a good experience, but it was also clear that lots of things were still missing (I mean, it was also at version 0.2 when I started working on it).

With these 0.5 changes the Dioxus authors remove almost all the complexities that I ran into when working on Ebou. I haven't played around with it yet, but the removal of lifetimes and constant cloning will make it a much more pleasant experience. I'm looking forward to trying it out, congratulations to the team for such an awesome release!

The US credit card system is build around manually copying down credit information and mailing it in once a month to a processing center.

Other countries have strongly leveraged the ability for instant communication to do many more things.
The model I'm noticing becoming more popular is a highly skilled US based team lead and exclusively Latam seniors and mids.

The reason to have some US devs is that the Latam hires are technically contractors and they need US engineers to hedge against the risk a change in Argentina tax law forces employees to quit.

Im sure it's very difficult to be a US based junior or mid right now.
Streisand effect. The original review said the tomato sauce was full of sugar. Which it probably is. Indefensible and now the whole world knows about that.
Housing affordability has little to do with an oligarchic economy and everything to do with policy decisions we made to make housing expensive.
As someone that also has to wear DevOps hat, I really would like that Rust had matured first.

At least newer CNCF projects aren't going into Go as much as they previously did.
Are you willing to relocate to Central Virginia or to Salt Lake city Utah? We can't seem to find good backend SWE candidates, especially senior ones.

My email is in my bio if you want to apply, also, I could give you some actionable feedback on your resume based on what I'm seeing a lot lately.
Way below what you’d make at FAANG is absolutely correct. Salaries are not competitive with top-tier tech companies. Not everyone wants to work at FAANG though. Depending on what you value though the lower salary can be offset by some of the other benefits. Work life balance tends to be really good - rarely do I ever go over 40 hours a week but if I do I get paid overtime even though I’m salaried. You can also usually arrange to work a flexible schedule like 4/10’s (10 hrs a day M-Th and every Friday off) or 9/80’s (9 hours a day, 8 on the working Friday and every other Friday off). 401K and medical benefits are also very good. Job security for engineers tends to be high - especially compared to FAANG with their recent series of layoffs. Even if FAANG is your ultimate goal, working for a few years at a defense contractor will not hurt your chances of future employment there.

Having to make ad hoc domain specific languages embedded in your comments that are then processed and expanded by entirely separate compilers, essentially reinventing the C macro preprocessor, is in my opinion the mark of a terminally underpowered language that even the people regularly using it realize is underpowered even if they don't admit it to themselves.
Maybe a telescope has to rise above the harsh and damaging lunar dust. After construction of anything on the moon, I'm concerned about the 20 micron, glass-like, dust. Lunar dust is not weathered, like Earth dust. Once you are out of the lunar "atmosphere", the dust remains in low orbit for a long time.

Just put the telescope in space. It's a lot easier, despite the difficulty.
How broad is your knowledge about "these countries?"
Jeffrey Epstein's Island Visitors Exposed by Data Broker
It's unfortunate that the development of the web has had an adversarial nature. There's been a war between those individuals who prize privacy, and organizations that want functionality.

The law requires certain things. If your protocol doesn't account for those things, then your protocol will be broken to bend to the law's will. It would often be much better to have some small compromise in privacy, rather than lose it all. "All or nothing" has some extreme outcomes.

Yes, some people do want privacy at all costs. But what about the rest of us? We send postal mail in envelopes and leave them sitting in boxes open to the street. Our phone calls traverse networks unencrypted and are overhead nearby. Our credit cards and secret PINs can be input at public facilities that enable stealing. Our laptops sit at home or work and can be broken into and memory dumped for encryption keys. In practice, 99% of us are completely fine with an acceptable risk of a possible loss of privacy. We help bolster this with laws and punishments should someone violate our privacy. But what we don't do is engineer our lives as if we're all spies hiding from an execution.

There are practical changes that could be made to allow for better functionality, whilst not having absolute privacy at every conceivable technical level, but still more than enough privacy that what we care about most is still reasonably private. Then there might be enough mild privacy lost to enable organizations the functionality they need, and we would lose less to the "all or nothing" consequences.

The thing is, there is an extremely small number of people who have the privilege and power to change things, because they're in the room and we're not. Like the generals carving up Africa because they happen to be in the right room. Personally, I think these decisions have fallen to a few people in a room for far too long. I think we should have public, wide ranging discussions about the nature of how we build the underpinnings of our world. If we don't, the consequences could be more "all-or-nothing" that ends up harming more than otherwise.
I love the write-up. Very entertaining.

We've all secretly been benefiting from the dreaded "trickle down economics" which has shifted as interest rates have increased. What percent of HN users salaries are actually paid by the revenue from the customers of their business rather than burning down investment funding?

Most of us have had high paid jobs funded by some billionaire VC burning their wealth on unprofitable ventures, because they were willing to lose 10 bets to win 1.

Today, investors (whether VC, private equity, public markets) want to own businesses that are profitable or can reasonably be expected to be soon. Correspondingly, far fewer jobs paying six figure salaries while the company loses millions of dollars for their investors/owners.
I'm a fairly ignorant outside observer, but it seems that government disarray and massive internal dissension within Israeli society caused by Netanyahu's increasingly extreme political moves must have contributed to Israel's defense failure on October 7. Netanyahu had so split Israeli society that millions were out protesting every weekend for months leading up to 10/7 and reservists were even refusing duty in protest.

Perhaps if he were more focused on governing or stepping aside rather than keeping himself out of jail by any means necessary, there would have been fewer distractions at the national level. I'm not saying it's his fault but the chaos he caused can't have helped.
My list of challenging software projects some programmers should try
The biggest difference I'm aware of is TLS 1.3 encrypts the initial handshake[0] in a way to prevent eavesdropping the hostname of the destination. Prior to that, you could get the hostname via network monitoring if you wanted. Encrypting the TLS handshake didn't maker sense to prioritize though as DNS requests were sent in the clear.

However with DNS increasingly being encrypted with DoH and DoT, the TLS handshake was one of the only places you could eavesdrop on the destination hostname, until it was removed in 1.3.

Of course network monitoring will still give you the destination IP, but those are increasingly overwhelmingly destined for a major cloud or CDN provider which doesn't provide much context about the actual destination.

If you'll forgive the shameless self-promo, I covered a decent amount of this in my Blackhat talk about encrypted DNS a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCnE2o2pfxs

These kinds of threads are entertaining to me, to see how various strands of libertarian/techno-capitalist are confronted with explaining how apparently-immutable-and-eternal property rights originate. The ones where they basically admit it comes down to "who has the most guns" are the best.
It appears to me that this is a culturally dependent sort of thing, which is why I said it isn't "universally common" rather than it isn't common.

For instance, I'm a graybeard and in my entire life, I've only seen people do that a couple of times. And even then, the people being shown the media were putting up with it out of politeness. What people in my part of the US tend to do is tell the stories of the trip rather than show pictures. People here usually don't want to see pictures or video, they want to hear the stories.

How the SAT Changed My Life
Except that road maintenance is a bit more expensive than you'd think.

From memory, a politician claimed a few years ago that 40 km of highway was about as much as 1 JSF (~$110mln). Let's pretend that that is a rough proxy for what maintenance of NYC's streets & public parking would cost.

How often do you have to fillerup before you've spent about $100mln in fuel taxes?
Valgrind has client requests, which you can use to teach it about custom mempools. This should make it possible to avoid the problems this author was having.

Wow! That's insane to me. I feel bad for parents these days. A dude I work with who has a teenage son told me his son has a full on nervous breakdown every time he takes the phone away for a period of time, like temper tantrum style. I can safely say when I was in high school, if I was allowed to make "good choices for myself", I'd have been a full time donut eating, irc'ing recluse who never socialized and didn't know what exercise is. As it was I was already half of that despite the best efforts of my mother, who at the time I hated, and in retrospect I'm very grateful for. Wasn't easy for my mom with the internet becoming a thing in the 90s and me being an internet addict, but she did her best... I cannot imagine what it's like for parents today, I do genuinely feel for them. Good luck to you, seems like you're looking out for your kid, so kudos.
Does this mean when I use a "rewards card" outside the US (that has no additional currency fiddling fee) that the bank is eating the 1.8% difference? Or do they get me on the currency exchange rate?

I suspect I know the answer, even thought their rate is almost always the best available to me.
The risk profiles of building a company and taking a trip in your car are definitely different.

Building and running a company is more akin to driving your car through the Amazon rainforest.

I'd argue that if the OP is worried about getting a job after failing, they're not ready to start.
I have no remorse for hiring managers. The length of time it takes to make it through the hiring process they have fomented makes the shotgun approach absolutely necessary if you want to get hired (at all) in a timely manner.

> Inspecting network traffic is not a self invented regulation.

I work for a telecom company registered in NJ. What law says web-developers employee traffic should be intercepted?
Sure, but what is the alternative? Government subsidies keep the whole thing afloat, there is no removing them. And obviously that is by design.

There is a marginal utility to increasing funding, but that isn't the point, the point is that the subsidies guarantee that the receiver is dependent on the sender.
As someone (thankfully) not in the loop with these enterprise tools, what exactly is the issue? How did it work before (and what have changed)?

Can't enterprises just MITM the traffic and sign it with a CA the clients trust? What's the benefit of the previous solutions?
I never called anything a waste. I merely doubt the net gain in the rate of acceleration of energy demand for AI purposes.

You make a fair point. To the extent these AI tools enable better, more efficient production systems in the real world there is a case to be made it could be a net gain for society. Arguably it could also increase the carbon intensity of the economy in the short term. While renewable sources are gaining ground, most of the bulk and marginal energy demand is met by carbon heavy sources now and in the foreseeable future, and deployment of renewables also requires a lot of energy and by extension, for now, carbon emissions.
It could be wise to favour the candidates with poorer interview skills, as they're less likely to be able to leave.
It's not toooo bad :)

I do not wonder about the double productivity increase compared between Rust and C++. But what really makes me wonder is the comparable productivity of Rust vs. Go. I thought Go is much easier than Rust and that people could write applications much faster in Rust. I would expect that Rust takes at least 2-3 times more time to write an application, compared to Go, but then I would also expect it to run at least 2-3 times faster than the Go version, hence it is a fair trade-off.
I was laid off in January and have been regularly applying every week as a requirement for unemployment. So far zero responses, which is hard because it sounds like more experienced devs are on the market and will land jobs before me.

I did see my former employer was looking for someone in India or Eastern Europe to fill a dev position requiring my exact stack. I do wonder if taking whatever pay cut down to the lower salary they’re presumably offering would have been worth it for both sides.

As it stands, I’m in a mild panic about my future career despite knowing I’m capable. I may end up using my CPA to switch back into accounting for the time being. Or perhaps start up my own thing. Hopefully things get better after a short amount of time.
Fact is that the position isn't "unknown", it is in both positions at once. The double-slit experiment is strong evidence for this, we can see that the particle went through both slits at once by measuring a lot of particles and seeing where they end up.

If you block one slit and then shoot particles, then block the other slit and shoot particles, you end up with a completely different pattern than if you have both open at once.

This isn't difficult to understand, the only difficult part is people not wanting to believe it is true and trying to come up with classical explanations for quantum mechanics, even though we have hard proof that classical physics can't explain this.

The difficult part is that even though the particle went through both slits, it only ever ends up in a single spot at the end, that is the "wave function collapse", it was a wave that went through both slits, and then it collapses to a single point when we measure it at the end. That is still not well understood by anyone today.

This is one of those headlines where I was absolutely sure that there was some hidden context between the two headline sentences that would explain why this is happening, but amazingly there is not. She discussed the product on Facebook and then was arrested. Wild! This kind of shit makes me grateful for the speech protections we have in the USA, even though we always seem to be one case + supreme court ruling away from losing those protections.
Sounds reasonable.

In an org where the customers are internal teams it makes more sense to sit down together and define a schema first. Then the consumer and provider teams just go away and write the code concurrently without having to waste time talking to each other.

Oh come on. Yes, Intel has huge revenues, because it produces physical goods that have high R&D and unit costs.

And yes, of course they returned money to investors in the last 35 years, they were a very successful company. You'd hope they try to remind people that they have a history of success! They've not done any buybacks since Q1 2021.
Sure but humans do a lot more with vision than just convolutions. So maybe we need to wait for AI to invent new techniques equally revolutionary and equally impactful to convolutions to the point where it's believable that AI models can handle the range of exceptions humans handle. Humans are very good at learning from small data where AI tends to be pretty terrible at one-shot learning by comparison. That's going to continue being hugely relevant for edge cases. We've seen many examples now where a self-driving car crashes due to too much sunlight distorting its perception of where objects are. We can either bury our heads in the sand and pretend AI models work like humans and need the exact same inputs humans do or we can admit there are limitations to the technology and act accordingly.

I also think dumb sensors is unfair, there are Neural Network solutions for processing LIDAR data so we are talking about a similar level of intelligence applied over both sensors.
Is this considered helpful for their reputation? I am really perplexed at the number of companies that take a sledgehammer to relatively meaningless online activity.

It is just fascinating that this keeps happening. Does this happen far more often and not lead to a Streisand effect that it is on average worth doing?
>- the Moon is extremely large; if you mined the entire Moon and covered the Earth's surface with the material, including oceans, it would form a layer about thirty miles thick

I'm aware of how large the moon is.

>- most of the Moon is made up of the same stuff as the Earth's crust (silica, alumina, etc) and has very little value, compared to the energy needed to get it off the Moon

CURRENTLY has very little value. Just like CURRENTLY there's very little value to water in most of the world. In 500 years, without some fairly significant changes to the way we're treating the earth, that will be a VERY different story.

>- if humans remove material from the Moon, the rest of it doesn't "float off into the universe", it just stays in orbit unless it is actively pushed, which would take an insane amount of energy

That's the point... what exactly do you think is going to happen to earth in that scenario?

>something like the entire world's electricity consumption for a billion years

What was the entire world's electricity consumption 500 years ago?

Okay, but "rich" isn't, if you've accepted people can own things.

Not killing people is a socialised concept. I don't think this banale-fact-dressed-up-as-criticism of "is a social construct" is worth much. And if it is, it's also a social construct, as are the words used to communicate it. So should we then ignore it?
> it makes drivers pay for the externalities they produce (including pollution, congestion, noise)

you can make a point that charging drivers will impact the poor a lot more then others.

and another point you can make is that if anyone was actually interested in pollution then wouldn’t it have been better to restrict usage directly?
I don't need it either.

But thats not the point of it anyway?

Its about writing code faster and potentially better. Cloud GPUs can also generate unit tests etc.

I primarily use it for languages i don't use often enough, nonetheless its only a question of time until it doesn't make sense anymore to write code yourself.
> The slightly heinous thing about this case though is that no tradeoff at all seemed to be involved for this book, no cost of preservation was cited

The tradeoff is that we have two potential futures here:

Option A: Someone's skin non-consensually remains used as the cover of a book.

Option B: Someone's skin is returned to their family or buried, and the book is re-covered.

What is the benefit of Option A?

These statements might be logically true, but I feel the logic ignores the overall strategic factors involved in buying back stock and that management needs to consider whether the stock is over or under valued, whether earnings are strong enough for this to make logical sense and the supply and demand among investors for dividend stocks and the ultimate value of a single lump sum distributed to investors vs the value of increased future earnings to the investor from the anti-dilutive impact of buying back stock.

Discussing only the tax strategy as is happening in this thread is really stepping over some really important strategic operational factors.
