To clarify, I am only talking about direct financial benefit (capitalist ownership). But it has to be backdated to the owners at the time range when wrongdoing occurred. That way you can go after people who sold (for profit) their stock before the wrongdoing was discovered.

Financially punish the capitalists who benefit from crimes and the executives that are currently getting away with crimes won't continue to get away with anything. (Laws and regulations will change rapidly when money is on the line)

Punishing only the people responsible for the crimes is a losing strategy. You have to eliminate the demand for that behavior. Because there an endless supply of morally corruptible people to take the fall so that capitalists can gain.

September 22 - September 23, 2021: puppetromium - "World's simplest browser" - a single file, "remote browser", using MJPEG streamed viewport, CSS breakpoint sizing hack, image-button form control to capture click coordinates to server, and NO client-side JavaScript.^0

I wanted to see if I could make a JavaScript-less "remote browser" that essentially worked. Mainly because there was so much JavaScript in the client for my actual, working, remote browser.

I found out: it is possible. But it ain't pretty! Hahaha. Some pretty cool hacks in there tho. I'm especially proud of the CSS code for probing the viewport size, and how is synthesizes a bunch of cool, slightly fringe / retro web platform techniques like: <input type=image>, Motion JPEG, pinging a sizing URL based on CSS @media query.

I also wanted to use puppeteer, as I didn't even use it 1 bit for my actual remote browser, and puppeteer was such a big thing, I wanted to use it! Haha :)

I used to have a raspberry pi that was running on a schedule to play rain noise while I was sleeping. When I moved I took it down and didn't put it back up, but never liked how excessive it felt.

So I built a simpler version that doesn't have a schedule but runs on an RP2040 and generates brown noise:

Will eventually add some key switches to it so I can start/stop it more easily (currently just plug it into USB when I want sound) adjust volume, low-pass filter params, etc.

The bsnes emulator has a similar problem.
The official "website" is the Github repository at https://github.com/bsnes-emu/bsnes/ but some unknown entity has snagged bsnes.org and is now also publicly linking to SNES ROMs they host on Github (Github doesn't care, you can report those repositories as much as you want. If you're not a rights holder they won't do anything).
Not that impressive but I personally liked it. Since Telegram isn't accessible without VPN or Proxy in my country, i made a flutter app that connects to an API. The API itself uses Telegram API to get and send messages. So i made a Telegram that doesn't need VPN. But it was so simple (Only for one group and only text messages). Anyway I enjoyed the progress and the result.
Oh and a question if you can help me. I used streaming FastAPI for the API and used dart:io in flutter to listen for the new messages and put them in the app. Do you suggest any better way to fetch new messages? Like WebSocket or idk anything.

If the annotation is basically just a copy of the function body why have any annotation at all?

It might not be clear to you, but if you want to allow any annotation with the same semantics as the body of the function you will run into this.

I agree with you, and am excited for TSMC fabs in the US.

I think the split is rather in people's communication skills, where remote amplifies the weaknesses. It's further complicated by the prevalence of async communication - e.g. it's more difficult to prevent/clarify a misunderstanding in async.

Communication skills, like everything else, can be learned. But still, some people will be disadvantaged.

Fediverse is split along cultural lines so you might want to check out the other half (freespechextremist, poast, etc.) if the "official" instances are not to your liking. Of course being split means that BOTH sides are more extreme than the average user would be on a shared platform.
Chip demand is cyclical, and idle capacity is extremely costly, so chip fabs are built around the bottom of the demand curve to always run at full capacity. If you want to avoid another chip shortage, especially for national security reasons, financial incentives are the only way to do it.
Yeah, if I had my own seat in small office with my teammates like pre-COVID, I would probably visit the office at least 3 days a week. But what we have instead is a massive open office full of flex desks. There is absolutely nothing attractive about the whole place, not even fancy coffee machines. I would just waste 30 mins of my life getting there.
a controller isn’t part of the security verification chain, and again, it’s disingenuous to compare the two because they happen at a significantly different frequency level.

The more salient comparison for “why” is look at PC games. Even if you buy a physical copy, most require you to authenticate them online.

Sony chose instead to do a one time drive authentication so you don’t need to authenticate every game online instead.

It can also... not deliver malware. The point at which it would be of interest to Safe Browsing would be the point at which it starts delivering malware, and reporting it before then is only going to create false positives that could make it harder to report if/when it did start distributing malware.

The Safe Browsing project is not about judgement calls on whether a website is a good citizen or not. The whole point is to have a global database of obviously bad stuff that is not about any sort of editorial control, curation, etc. That way it's a clear win for browsers to implement, and there's little criticism that can be levelled against it for preferential treatment etc.

So tired of this apologetics,

Sorry, I didn't mean it as an apology, it's more that I understand the historical context (at least that's what several Germans have told me).

I strongly prefer the system where I live, where I can pretty much arrange everything government-related from behind a keyboard and a universal authenticator (DigiD).
And how would that be different from the shovel blogs or sites that scrape and repost stuff from SO/Github issues already?

I mean I understand how it’s different but what I’m trying to say is Google often returns trash as-is. Even their quick answers/answer box thing is wrong from time to time.
They already use LLMs to generate the questions other “people” are asking — and blatantly lie that the source of these is from real people.

They (google) also claim to be the source of the MC Hammer song “U Can’t touch this” (amongst countless other falsehoods)

Google has slipped from “slightly worse than it used to be” into a nosedive toward being AOL.

I mean doing it on a different server would just be useless, that’s what the original site already does. I’m also not really sure how this would work do to all of the cache invalidation issues that would occur as comments are added.I don’t really have the financial backing to run a real time in memory cache of all HN for free, which in effect is what HNs API already does. I recommend actually reading the docs on how their API works and it’s quirks. Besides the point, this wouldn’t be able to be hacked into 1 HTML file which I wanted to do for the challenge

Also, if my site is “wasting electricity” that means every other HN reader is too because that’s how their API works! This is by far the silliest comment I have received!

The whole point of this project is also that there is NOT a server, and the site I created functions as a mobile/tablet/desktop app too
I made HNRelevant, a web extension for HN (https://github.com/imdj/HNRelevant).

It shows related discussions for each submission page. Many times, I found myself intrigued by interesting discussions which left me hungry for more and I'd go down a rabbit hole, or maybe it was promising but didn't get enough attention and I'd need to check if there were any related discussions in the past about the same subject.

I found that even though HN is a news aggregator, many discussions on HN are timeless (just like this here).

I'm proud of it and find the experience and flow to be very enjoyable. It also helps me find great stories that I might not have stumbled across.
Compared to a similar 6yo [1] and 3yo[2] (by zutty maker) comparisons, VTE terminals still (at least pre-46) bad in latency front. (They're as high as VS Code based beuke article.) Xterm still rules it. (Pointed in [2], this is due to direct rendering via Xlib which comes with the downside of having poor throughput.) Alacritty significantly improved, Konsole got worse. About Alacritty, it's pointed in [2], there were various opened tickets related to its poor performance and wasn't an easy to solve problem. So kudos to Alacritty devs for succeeding and GNOME devs for improving in the new version.

Alacritty, Kitty, Zutty, GNOME, others, quite a rejuvenation in terminal development.

Like all automation, having a database of your population greatly increases your efficiency, without regard to whether this power is used to do good or to do evil.

There are many still alive who remember the evils done by the Stasi, when I was a child, there were many who remembered the evils done by the Gestapo; when those are your core examples of a citizen database, such thing naturally seems "big brother".

The irony is the mirror image: America seems almost* totally willing to have private databases while disliking government ones, Europe seems almost* totally willing to have government databases while disliking private ones.

* to anyone about to reply "not I": don't be blind to the "almost", I know many here will be exceptions
So the site is clearly parasitic, doesn't add anything and detracts from security. The term "malicious" does imply a little more to me though, like it's actually serving me altered software.

I guess the question is whether doing this (injecting yourself into the download flow for an open source piece of software and profiting via ads while doing so) is "malicious". I can see an argument that it is, as at the very least the site very much looks like it's the official site unless you read the small print.

I don't get the ads on that site at the moment. I assume they are the fake download button type of ad?

In any case, we can fight this particular site, but as you point out if this is generated content then I don't see how we're going to manually fight the coming onslaught of similar endeavours, so if the search engines can't keep generated content off their results (and so far they haven't been able to), it's going to be an interesting few years.

Last year, my wife and I were planning a 12 day trip and I was struggling with Google Docs moving days around while we planned our final route.

Told her to give me 2 days and ended up making a small app to help us plan our trip; the first version was built over New Years weekend:

https://turas.app

Kept working on it and it was good enough to share to Reddit 6 days later [0]. Got a good number of users and still keep it maintained/updated. Also have some videos showing the progress and major features over the last year [1]. It's been fun; my go-to project to tinker on when I feel bored.

Tried to monetize it, but didn't really find a market so just keep it free for the users that are on the platform :) The folks that come back to it tend to be obsessive planners (like my spouse).

Uh, yeah, this is all horrible. Even when founding a company makes sense, it's sometimes difficult to justify - e.g. when we were buying a house I was looking at bigger buildings with multiple units, so having a estate holding company would have made sense: We're already taxed over 30% and rents could have pushed us into the highest bracket, while most of the money (rents) in the holding would have gone into financing and maintaining the building anyway.

Don't get me started on founding a company and then getting necessary loans (all while the loan market changes and suitable houses might vanish from the market). Some proper investor is probably now renting out a multi unit house we would have bought, making nice profits while we would have aimed at boosting our pension in a few decades.

But well: That's the way it's meant to be, else the rules would be different, or would they?

(We got an old SFH instead, and slashed energy consumption by ~80-90%. That's not even accounting for PV. It's nice to profit from that now and later in life, but I still believe that we, as a society, would have benefited more from improving a MFH and sharing the lower energy consumption with some tennants)
