Also it seems Microsoft had code reviews to catch such shenanigans as "/♥", but somehow the AARD code went completely undetected.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code

> The AARD code was a segment of code in a beta release of Microsoft Windows 3.1 that would determine whether Windows was running on MS-DOS or PC DOS, rather than a competing workalike such as DR-DOS, and would result in a cryptic error message in the latter case. This XOR-encrypted, self-modifying, and deliberately obfuscated machine code used a variety of undocumented DOS structures and functions to perform its work.

> Internal memos released by Microsoft revealed that the specific focus of these tests was DR-DOS. At one point, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates sent a memo to a number of employees, reading "You never sent me a response on the question of what things an app would do that would make it run with MS-DOS and not run with DR-DOS. Is there [sic] feature they have that might get in our way?"

> Microsoft Senior Vice President Brad Silverberg later sent another memo, stating: "What the [user] is supposed to do is feel uncomfortable, and when he has bugs, suspect that the problem is DR-DOS and then go out to buy MS-DOS."

> Microsoft Co-President Jim Allchin stated in a memo, "If you're going to kill someone there isn't much reason to get all worked up about it and angry. Any discussions beforehand are a waste of time. We need to smile at Novell while we pull the trigger."
How I Use LLMs to Program
Funnily enough modern machines have ISA in form of LPC bus used for few of the common peripherals (TPM) that can be used in ISA-compatible mode, and you can get LPC to ISA adapters.

What's not relevant about Google not being the one that created that kind of extension standard? "slapping down their near monopoly" is nonsense when the other browsers also follow the same extension approach.

This has been my experience. We had someone set a secure instance following all the policies and such. Then they moved to another org in the company and I started getting email violations going to the VP every few weeks because they didn't do some sort of attestation. The problem was only the user could do it and the automation had no guidance on how resolve the issue or stop the alerts. This went on for months before it was resolved.

*Old problem, new $25B+ market*

Companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have shown that if a technology isn't core to your value proposition, you should offload it. Still, every engineering team builds and rebuilds one piece: authorization, how you control who has access to what in your app. We intend to change that.

We see a world where developers never roll their own authorization again, and instead say, "Just use Oso" – the same way you might say, "Oh, you should just use Postgres for that." In doing so, we're creating the $25B+ authorization market.

*Why Oso?*

We have the lead – in traction, capital, and team.

- Traction: Oso is used by thousands of companies from startups to the Fortune 500, like Wayfair, Arc, Intercom, Visa, Oxide, and Codecademy.

- Capital: We're the best-capitalized, with 4+ years of runway from the world’s best investors, including Sequoia, Felicis, and infrastructure entrepreneurs like Olivier Pomel (Founder, Datadog), Dev Ittycheria (CEO, MongoDB), Arman Dadgar (Founder, Hashicorp), Edith Harbaugh (Founder, LaunchDarkly), Guy Podjarny (Founder, Snyk), Paul Copplestone, (Founder, Supabase), Christina Cacioppo (Founder, Vanta), and Calvin French-Owen (Founder, Segment).

- Team: We've spent 3+ years going deep on the domain. We've met with thousands of engineering teams and know more about this problem than anyone. And we have two of the best developer go-to-market leaders on earth who have done it before at MongoDB at Snyk.

*Why now?*

We're at an inflection point. What it takes to get from where we are today to a world where developers say “Just use Oso” is going to be different. And we see that. The opportunity is for you to join at this inflection point, in a role that’s bigger and different than usual.

I have to say, I still just don't believe him. I think Nature's criticism is accurate. He's cherry-picking data that shows the rise in depression started in 1999 and only somewhat accelerated around 2010-11. And I think there is another obvious culprit and it's the rise of authoritarianism and particularly right-wing media. Something that has been a major trend since about 1999.

Not really, the meaning of debit and credit depends on the type of account

That's how most accountants think about it. But I think there's something more fundamental: a CR entry is an increase is what the company owes (to creditors or shareholders), and a DR is an increase in what the company owns.

EDIT: see this link for how this relates to the accounting equation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32501707
I’d say a lot of that is genetic and or cultural. At the very least there are many of us who do not possess that instinct. We have much lower karma scores but we don’t care.
Show HN: Laravel 11 with Servbay – Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Laravel 11 has been released, bringing many improvements.
It introduces a streamlined application structure, per-second rate limiting, health routing, and more.
In addition, Laravel Reverb, a first-party, scalable WebSocket server has been introduced to provide robust real-time capabilities to your applications.
In today's guide, I will setup an example laravel application, and install ServBay for local development on Mac.
NOTE: ServBay is your one-stop-shop for local PHP development on Mac. It bundles together everything you need like web servers, databases, programming languages, mail servers and queue services.
Create Example Application
Let's get started generating an example applicaiton using composer.
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
This will create an example-app directory, cd to it.
cd example-app
Now you can start the server:

php artisan serve
Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 and you'll see the default Laravel welcome page.

Install ServBay
We'll use ServBay to manage our local PHP development environment on Mac.
ServBay includes multiple versions of PHP/Node/MariaDB/PostgreSQL, and it can install Redis/Memcached for you.
These are the steps to install ServBay:
1. Go to Servbay's home page: https://www.servbay.com
2. Download the latest version
3. Open the installer and drag ServBay.app into the Applications folder

4. Open ServBay.app and follow the initialization steps

Add a New Host
After installing ServBay, you can add a new host for your example laravel application.
Go to the Hosts tab, click the plus button, and you'll see the Add Host form.
1. Set Name to "Laravel 11 Demo"
2. Set Domain to "lara.host",
3. Set Root Directory to the public folder of example-app
[图片]
Hit the "Add" button and you're ready to go.
Now visit lara.host and you will see the default welcome page from the example-app.

From now on, you can use ServBay for Laravel local development, happy coding!
To me this reads less like a social media issue and more like she's depressed and something about the way you're asking her is off.

I saw a couple of years of similar reactions from my sisters after they went through some difficult times without any of us knowing (since they were studying abroad and this was before easy internet calling). They'd get mad when asked seemingly innocuous questions, which turned out to be because the way the questions were phrased came off as insulting or dismissive of their problems in some way. We didn't even know about these problems since they never told us, but that didn't really matter for them.

It took years of slowly rebuilding trust for them to open up again.
It seems you are a good example of what they were talking about. Not understanding cause and effect such as using up medical resources that could otherwise be used for regular emergencies.
>> Go is still very new.

Well over a decade old.

>> If third party libraries are important to you, it's hard to recommend Go over PHP.

There are plenty of third party libraries for go. This is where most of Go departs from PHP/java/ruby. Php/ruby you might look to something like larval or rails. Java had spring/hybernate/struts/grails (there's a lot there). Is there A framework you're going to jump on in Go? No, Go isnt Rails, it isnt omakase. Go has a ton of parts that "just work" and work well together.

You can pick an ORM (gorm) or use code generation like SQLC (magic!). There is a clean validation implementation that covers 99 percent of your use cases and is easy to extend. If you hate that there are 3 solid alternatives. Do you want a custom router, there are lots of choices but the standard library is good enough. How about logging? Works fine out of the box but plenty of choices here too. Auth, Identity and Access control what do you need there is a middle ware for it already or you can build one in 10 minutes. Are you parsing massive JSON files? hey if the standard lib is too slow there's 4 other choices depending on your use case.

Want to recycle all your code for CLI tools or service workers ... go is a hell of a lot more elegant than ruby or PHP for this (better concurrency primitives).

> On another note, whether or not I can make a database in Go is irrelevant.

I have a little project: the web server, the DB the, images, everything. One simple binary, one config file. Im not installing web servers, run times, databases. It's clean simple and out the door. Im playing with a search engine in go that looks like it could be mixed into that same binary and be 75 or 80 percent of what a solr/open search server would be.

Would rails or larval be faster to launch. Sure. Are they going to keep getting features out ahead of go after 6 months or a year. No things are gonna be really even. And when ruby or PHP hits the wall (and they have a point where scaling them stops making sense) then what do you do? Port to java... or go? You could just pick go from the start and scale it all the way out. Binary blob monolith to scaled services you can just stick with go....
technical speaking what does 10 years of transactions look like when it's "cached" with one current year still being raw text lines? how are the two reconciled?
I'll go further: Knowing basic accounting and bookkeeping jargon is a super power when it comes to dealing with finance people. Your credibility builds tremendously when you can engage with them using the proper jargon correctly.
We actually don't know whether this gag is not as good - we couldn't see the painting. Because when the author is not a known name doesn't make his work bad. Although modern art being based so much on hype and/or stories, it's way too difficult to actually evaluate somebody's work.

Interesting comment, thanks!

Adding a couple of thoughts I had while reading it:

- If the criminals' jamming only needs to protect their identity when people look at footage in the future (as opposed to taking offline a large facility's entire network of cameras so that security can't tell where the criminals are in real time) then they could potentially carry the jammer with them, in which case it just needs to be strong enough to block any camera within sight rather than the full building

- In addition to scaling the power of a jammer to take out a big enough area, they could place multiple jammers around the location, either to combine to a larger area or to expand on your directional antenna idea to target individual networked items (cameras, routers, whatever). Even if having many of them means there isn't time to collect them all again when leaving, assuming the crime's pay-off is significant then it could easily still be cost-effective to consider them single use jammers (I'm assuming it wouldn't be hard for people smart enough to plan this sort of crime to make sure that the left-behind jammers can't be traced back to them as an easy solve for the police).
I wonder what could have been done to fix this bug. Does anyone with more experience with the game have any ideas?

Its addiction and FOMO, you form connections. Even if you never talk to folk, you have an instant connection if the topic is to arise in face.

However if you previously and stopped watching and the conversation comes up you don't have have the up to date information to connect in to the conversation.

So because your part of the community by whatever feed you feel part of the community. The fear of not being part, subconsciously is what drives you to keep up the habit.

Same goes for all, communities, fandoms, cults; toxic or not.

We really underestimate how negatively it's impacting our quality of life that we don't let ourselves get bored anymore.

You gained $20 worth of assets, so the counterpart of the $20 leaving your bank account is countered by your assets-account gaining $20

Now each year your book loses 1/5th of its value, due to wear and tear (4$ disappearing from your assets-account), this is countered by your depreciation-account (4$ tax write off, every year!)

After 5 years, it is worth $0 according to your books, but you manage to sell it again for $10: your bank account gets debited for $10, while your capital-gains-account gets credited for $10

Thanks for this logic. It makes sense to me.
Regulating a physical product being sold within the country, like a circular saw, is obviously materially different from enforcing age restrictions or other regulations to a website probably owned by a multinational company.

Personally, I don't have much of an opinion around circular saws, but I don't want my government to build a framework where they can choose to hide certain parts of the Internet. I also think the issue isn't social media, per se, but algorithms that promote negative content, personal data harvesting, etc. Banning tiktok et al isn't going to solve those problems. They'll still exist because other types of sites are implementing them.

Social media is a highlight reel of people’s lives. It’s the best part hand-picked out of our mostly mundane lives.

Yes, Transformers are probably close to the Pareto frontier in terms of efficiency if you want to train something that has a sequence as an input.

But they're not inherently *special*. There's a bunch of other model types around that pareto frontier. Transformers are just good at saturating memory bandwidth, which is the hardware frontier.

I've long held that software ages far better if you just eliminate the ability of people to provide it input.

This figure is old and I dont think $15 cuts it anymore. My guess would be $20 if not exceeds it.
I find it hard to believe they could meticulously plan the tactical aspects of this heist but not plan for how to launder the loot. Since US cash is accepted abroad (and has more buying power) my guess is exporting it is the plan.

Huntsville is a 2 and a half hour commute to my in person job, limiting me to only remote work(there’s not exactly a booming tech economy in Huntsville). I would have to commute 5 hours a day to live in Huntsville.

I had family members who bought in “mixed income” neighborhoods in Toronto where you’d have broken piping, excessive mold in the attic, and meth heads ringing your doorbell at 2am to see if anyone’s home so they could break in. That 2 bedroom bungalow is selling for around 850k.

On top of all this houses even in Huntsville regularly close for between 50-200k over asking depending on location and the insanity of the buyer

No offense but based on this conversation I get the impression that you don’t really have enough context to comment on at the very least cost of housing in Canada.
