Yep, and I think that's why so many folks jumped from Bernie to Trump during/after the primaries. They couldn't be given a fair chance for peaceful change so they went for the other change option.
On one hand I like the work Bun is doing, on the other hand the Bun module is starting to look like a messy "utils" module, aka random junk drawer. All of them useful of course, just... incoherent.

My experience is mainly focused on human resources, administration and legal work ranging from contracts, advice on case, paperwork, recruiting, and any other administrative and HR task. In general one of the differences from the others that are doing the same thing is that I somewhat technical background due to being involved in few different projects during the years, so I can easily communicate with developers and also see when there is an actual issue in production or if someone is just delaying something or bluffing during interview. I also having managing experience, as I have been managing director of recruitment agency.

I am urgently looking for any role.
Carebit | https://www.carebit.co | Mid-Senior React Product Engineer (+- Ruby/Rails) | Remote | Full-Time

Carebit is a design-led healthcare technology company helping hundreds of private doctors across the UK run their practices more effectively and efficiently with our web platform, along with hundreds of thousands of their patients.

You’ll consider yourself to be a mid-senior level React developer with solid technical ability and good communication, but what really sets you apart is your interest in product engineering (https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-product-minded-engine...). You’re not so interested in pumping out leetcode, but instead you’re looking for a rewarding, creative environment in which to write, prototype, iterate and ship where your work has immediate real-world impact on doctors and patients.

We are a bootstrapped, profitable and fully-remote company with an engineering team of 4, and we intend to keep it that way. Having been remote from day 1, we believe in its benefits.

Requirements:

* Proven ability to take a brief idea from a customer to a designed, shipped and tested feature that wows

* Ability to see the big picture when building a feature (e.g. how it can be made modular or flexible to accommodate changes in future, or where else could it be deployed in the Carebit application)

* A keen eye for UI and UX, colour, simplicity and hierarchy in design

* 3+ years of React development

* Nice to have but not required - experience of React Native, backend experience (we use Rails 7)

Benefits:

* Salary in the range of £70-80k/$90-$100k + annual bonus depending on experience and velocity

* Async work (minimal meetings)

* Fully remote within 4 hours of UTC (if UK based, we usually meet up in London every 2-3 months)

* MacBook Pro, ergonomic chair and anything else you need to do your best work

Please reach out to hiring AT carebit DOT co and introduce yourself with examples of products you have worked on - shipped or not!
> On the other hand, I understand they are pissed that AWS is making money from their work and they get nothing back.

That's fundamentally the way the cookie crumbles, with opensource software. Some companies might be better making money from your code, or might be better at integrating it into a global solution. If you're afraid that might happen, then you shouldn't make your software opensource..

And anyway, didn't AWS contribute about 5% of the code?

RGB Puzzle for Designers
In JS, it's a good idea anyway to use some JSON parsing library instead of JSON.parse.

With Zod, you can use z.bigint() parser. If you take the "parse any JSON" snippet https://zod.dev/?id=json-type and change z.number() to z.bigint(), it should do what you are looking for.
I'm reminded of the last Narnia book, specifically the Dwarfs who could not see their surrounds.

"""They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out."""

Is it really so hard to believe they might be sincere? We've had tales of scientists — and before them alchemists and wizards — undone by their creations for a very long time now. It's a very convenient meme to latch on to; surely even if you do not share this caution, or find it silly for whatever reason, you can at least be aware of it existing in others?

The term "conservative" may be now affiliated with a specific political team more than the concept of being risk-adverse, but the idea is found even in the history of the ancient Romans and the tales from ancient Greece.

And I say this as one who personally found the idea of conservatism strange; who is an "all improvements are change" person; a person who took a long time to learn about the metaphor of Chesterton's Fence; and is a person who even now finds it hard to fully empathise with those who default to "treat all change as a potential regression until proven otherwise" even though I have to force myself into that attitude while writing unit tests.

I think the notion of that comment is Rust is the new "new C++".
> To say it has single handedly started a movement is a huge stretch.

As far as the alt-right goes, this is true, but they're definitely responsible for Pizzagate and QAnon. One might consider those the genesis of a "post alt-right" movement but it might also be too soon to tell.
I'd hardly call a $400 per year per seat contract top dollar.

There is software out there that is both much worse and costs in the tens to hundreds of thousands per seat per year.
This isn't wrong, but somewhat orthogonal. Yes, I "published" it on our package registry, but it wasn't public. Access was still scoped to the team developing the application I was speaking about.
This is Mick West’s story of games programming, ending with the Tony Hawk franchise, but covering a lot of Amiga and Atari ST game creation and some other playstation and genesis games as well.

I found it interesting how much it’s a story of getting good via repetition. Building a game a year, for years and building up certain skillsets. Previous games that look nothing like a skateboarding game to me have their fingerprints or even their code all over Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

Companies (and their lawyers) hate it because the AGPL (and also the GPL and LGPL) contain a lot of fluffy wording which can be interpreted in a lot of ways.

In contrast take for example the CDDL. It just says: This particular source file is CDDL licensed. If you modify and create a "result" (binary) from it which you distribute you have to share it if someone asks for it.

In contrast licenses like the LGPL for example talk about having to supply the means to rebuild it and such. What that means exactly and where it begins and ends? That's for a judge to decide.
Online or when texting on old phones that didn't have Arabic keyboards, people use numbers that look slightly similar to the letters in Arabic instead, like:

- 7 is ح

- 7' is خ (or 5)

- 2 is ء

- 3 is ع

- 3' is غ

- 9 is ص

- 9' is ض

- 6 is ط

- 6' is ظ

- 8 is ق
*severe mental illness

It's interesting though, I kind of wonder if this is a sort of paradoxical reaction as (relatively) mentally healthy people who I know tried it (e.g Atkins) had their moods significantly worsen.
> who could have been sucked out midair.

This really downplays how catastrophic this would have been at cruising altitude. And in that case the cause might have been way more obscured.
You should check out dgit[1] which pretty much does exactly what you're looking for. It's an excellent way (with a little bit of pbuilder scripting) to patch Debian packages in place with sensible version numbering.

I wish I’d gone around the Internet screen shotting comments from Reddit and Twitter from 2008 until 2016 so future historians could understand. A lot of this stuff got purged.

Some others I remember (paraphrasing):

“I can’t throw a Molotov cocktail into the White House but I can throw a Trump.”

“I hope Trump does as much damage as possible.”

“When Trump said he’d do something about outsourcing I decided I’d die for this man. I don’t care what else he does. He can eat a baby on live TV.” (This was a self described former union Democrat from Michigan.)

The left almost gets it. “A riot is the voice of the disenfranchised.” They just need to understand that for many, especially in 2016, Trump was a riot. They were electing him to do harm, explicitly.

In some ways America’s short memory is a strength. It keeps us from getting caught up in stupid ancient conflicts like the Middle East. America tends to at least mostly move on. But it also means we walk around in this perpetual fugue state not understanding why anything is happening.

If you don’t know US history from 2001 until 2008 you can’t understand what’s happened since.
That seems weird. Is it so that you don't invest directly and cause Angellist to lose income?

Seems to me like some line of communication between founder and investor should be enabled/encouraged.
I think you are underestimating the reach of TV before the internet.
The benchmarks are sometimes comparing an old build with bypassed denuvo with a newer build with optimizations and no DRM, and claiming that performance increase is only because of no drm and not because of optimizations.
Yeah I am more laughing that once encoded in JSON as { "p": 2256, "dp": 2 } you are using 2 floating point numbers. But JSON, and indeed JS wasn't designed.
I think most packagers that can pull from Git can also pull from Mercurial, SVN or whatever else.

Pulling from Git doesn't really require using GitHub other than connecting to their IP. You don't need an account or any tool other than Git to clone a public repo.

It seems to me that pulling directly from the primary source of truth is a good idea these days where possible.
Thanks for the link. This hasn't aged too well (for parts), PR has taken over most of the internet too, bloggers have become "influencers".
Not sure what percentage of the "vast majority of the users" it is but I will also make a similar assumption that it's large. They will use Redis through their cloud provider until the cloud provider provides a transparent upgrade path to a newer, shinier LF version that is protocol compatible, which they will do. Not for ideological reasons, or even concrete reasons, but just because their touch point is the cloud provider, not the mysterious company behind the actual code.

Probably we'll see Redis APM pretty soon to try to get back some revenue after people move on with their KV workloads in step with the cloud.
It’s also less of a grab-bag of random imported software than busybox, the tools are mostly written in a single style with some care taken to use the common library. (Making one utility smaller and making the whole multicall binary smaller are different goals.) The advantage is there’s much less redundant or disproportinately oversized stuff. The disadvantage is that most things need to be written anew, so there’s less stuff in general. (In particular, the author has spent a lot of time writing a shell and it’s still not ready).
Is there some implied proposal I missed?
Enterprises Are Building and Buying Generative AI
Reading HN's reactions to an OpenAI statement about open weights is about as satisfying / interesting as reading an r/conservatives thread about affirmative action. The opposition is built-in by now, to the point people aren't reacting to the article at all so much as reacting to the general idea of "OpenAI says bad things I don't like". I'd wager half of the people posting here didn't even skim the article, let alone read it.

That's a shame, because OpenAI's statement makes some very interesting observations, eg:

> For instance, strengthening resilience against AI-accelerated cyberattack risks might involve providing critical infrastructure providers early access to those same AI models, so they can be used to improve cyber-defense (as in the early projects we have funded as part of the OpenAI Cybersecurity Grant Program). Strengthening resilience against AI-accelerated biological threat creation risks may involve solutions totally unrelated to AI, such as improving nucleic acid synthesis screening mechanisms (as called for in Executive Order 14110), or improving public health systems’ ability to screen for and identify new pathogen outbreaks.

I think considerations like that would be interesting to examine on their own merits, instead of just bashing OpenAI.

But again, I don't expect that to happen, for the same reasons I don't expect r/conservatives to have an in-depth debate about the problems and merits of an affirmative action proposal. Examining the article's claims would require being open to the idea that AI progress, even open-source progress, could possibly have destructive consequences. Ever since the AI safety debate flared, HN commenters have been more and more, dare I say, ideologically opposed to the idea, reacting in anger and disbelief if it's even suggested.

Anyway, I thought the article was interesting. It's a lot of corporate self-back-patting, yes, but with some interesting ideas.

Thank you for the opportunity to exchange views on this. I’m currently trying to write up my professional experience. I’m finding it challenging, but your response and the dialogue helps me sharpen my own understanding and thinking.

Most of my career has been spent building mechanisms to pay the private actor as you suggest. It works well at one level. But the problem is that there isn’t enough government money in the world to pay off all private actors needed to get to sustainability. The other thing to recognize is that banks create money far more than governments do, and they create it to finance projects which likely destroy more wealth than they create: just not wealth in a strict financial sense. Is blaming banks ineffective? The blame probably lies with the system which allows banks to determine the future, and to make that determination on the basis of what creates narrow financial value to a small group of insiders to the exclusion of other values such as environmental, good relations between people etc.

I don’t have any beef with the bank mandate per se, their social utility is the allocation of resources to what society finds most useful. But that valuable mechanism breaks down if non-financial values are excluded from credit-scoring systems.
Then you should store the time as well, because the number of decimals in a currency can change (see ISK). Also, some systems disagree on the number of decimals, so be careful. And of course prices can have more decimals. And then you have cryptocurrencies, so make sure you use bigints
In this case, management set goals which were clearly unattainable with the resources, which management provided.

If executives face no risk for their decisions, then why do they get such high rewards?

I thought the deal was high-risk/high-reward.
I do Android dev and have contracted for 5 years. It's a different job than full time work.

Most of the clients you'll find are products whose core is mobile, but they don't have the budget for it. Some will be huge. They have maybe 4 or so mobile teams but they want to add a new feature.

Back in the heights of VC money, these were startups raising $300m or something, under pressure to use that money to grow. Those were great times to freelance. Now, it's probably a company that has laid off their entire team but now needs to make changes. Little money and no documentation.

Some would recommend spreading out into other mobile things (iOS/Flutter/RN), but I'd say that's doubling down on a market that may not exist.

I'd say do a different market like React which you can learn from. There's no good books on how to do Compose + Flow afaik, but there's plenty of great books on React. You can learn established methods. It's more of a low risk/medium returns approach, while you keep your experience on Android as a high risk/high returns skill.
Anyone know how to make a USB drive that is also a shirt?
Refcounting introduces zero latency into code that doesn't allocate / free.
Tracing can pause such code. Zero latency is better than non-zero.
>>I don’t understand. Stripe supports 3D Secure, so what is the issue here?

> Maybe this will help: Backblaze started using Stripe a long time ago (gosh, maybe 10 years ago?) and used a very specific set of original Stripe APIs. When some banking laws in some countries (specifically India at the time) changed a couple years ago, Backblaze looked into enabling 3D secure and SEPA and found out Backblaze was using the "1.0" version of the APIs that DID NOT support 3D secure and SEPA, and that to use 3D secure and some other features like SEPA then Backblaze had to "port" all of the Backblaze billing code to use the new "2.0" version of the APIs. So that project was kicked off, a programmer on the Backblaze billing team began working on that. But it probably should be finished by now. Or close.

That seems plausible given how archaic their administration system looks like.

Good thing these quizzes are not enforced. Sometimes I consult the book to remember some references, and I go back and forth to find what I'm looking for. Having to answer the quiz every time I want to go to the next or previous chapter would be a pita.
It generally requires more plant death to feed and then eat an animal than to just eat the plants directly. [1] Even if the "screaming" was indicative of pain, vegans who are motivated by reducing suffering would not be contradicting themselves by eating only plants.

Current version doesn't disable swap, that's in a separate optional file, but the next version will probably have it all in one file.

It can't be done in a one size fits all script unless you're launching chromium the same way, but do something like:
```
mkdir -p /dev/shm/kiosk-temp-config
mkdir -p /dev/shm/kiosk-temp-cache
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/dev/shm/kiosk-temp-config
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/dev/shm/kiosk-temp-cache
```

In your launch script and you should be able to stop the worst offender on kiosk systems.

Certain apps just love writing to disk, which is part of what keeps me from moving to Home Assistant for a lot of things.

I typically leave fake hwclock alone since it's only once an hour, but having a hardware RTC would really be ideal.
We don’t understand how AI works. I would not trust an AI to not hallucinate unsafely in this context.
What stands out to me is this particular justification:

> 2024-02-23: Jia Tan merges hidden backdoor binary code well hidden inside some binary test input files. The associated README claims “This directory contains bunch of files to test handling of .xz, .lzma (LZMA_Alone), and .lz (lzip) files in decoder implementations. Many of the files have been created by hand with a hex editor, thus there is no better "source code" than the files themselves.”

This is, perhaps, the real thing we should think about fixing here because the justification is on the surface reasonable and the need is quite reasonable - corrupted test files to test corruption handling.

But there has got to be some a way to express this which doesn't depend on, in essence, "trust me bro" since binary files don't appear in diffs (which is to say: I can think of a number of means of doing it, but there's definitely no conventions in the community I'm aware of).
Maybe not genetic, but plenty of our southern dishes, music and some village traditions can be found in some form on the other side of Mediterrean.
> As a reference point, Western sanctions have largely failed to prevent Russia and Iran from acquiring semiconductors for drones.

Drones don't need anything like the same quantity or performance of parts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Simpson_(blogger)

And the biggest limitation to the International Criminal Court is big players who refuse to cooperate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Pr...

And the biggest thing preventing China from invading Taiwan — often discussed as if it's more substantial than a potential intervention of US armed forces — is the potential for TSMC to be destroyed during the attempt.

Whether or not you draw a distinction, it seems plausible that the world as a whole would draw a distinction between sharing encrypted messages with the NSA and deliberately injecting malware into widely distributed software. Corporations can look at the former and think it is unlikely to affect them.

So regardless of how bad its prior behavior is, it makes sense that Microsoft has more of a reason to try to keep software distributed through GitHub as secure as it reasonably can.
