I feel like Swift enjoys much more actual good will and positive attention than C#. HN and other communities seem to be hell-bent on repeating the statements that weren't true even back in 2016 when it had its first FOSS version.

For example, this submission currently has 136 upvotes and 60 generally positive comments. The last .NET submission that reached frontpage had 158 upvotes and 255 comments, many of which would repeat personal experiences from 2007, complaining about products and languages that are not related to .NET but to something adjacent at best, or criticizing imagined spec and implementation issues that do not correspond to how the runtime and language actually work.

If anything, it seems like Swift can succeed if Apple puts more effort into it and community sentiment will be headwinds, not the other way around as is the case with .NET.
I think he missed the Mr vs Mrs
I'm still shocked that they went with HFS+ for so long, for all its shortcomings.

Early Mac OS X did support UFS (not sure which variant, probably an early BSD?) but never fully and eventually removed it. HFS support for backwards compatibility was necessary, but making it the boot FS for so many years did hold the platform back.

There was talk about ZFS at one point, but it never happened - maybe due to licensing. A large variety of FSes is definitely something Linux has over BSD and permissive licensed software. Even ZFS isn't fully permissive which only leaves HAMMER(2) as the FS with next-gen features and a BSD license.
I might not be explaining what I mean clearly. I'm talking about the Framework 16. The keyboard on the Framework 16 seems more cramped than my 13" laptop.
> Having a cheap laser able to cut metal at home / small shops would be so useful (And sneakily dangerous as lasers are).

So, please do not come around these lasers with remaining eye unprotected.

I think one should work with these things only using some cameras and never directly.
Not sure if this was added or edited later, but the linked article clarifies:

ROCK 5 ITX Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Here we can see that the PoE module is not soldered in and connects using 8 pins which is quite nice. If you choose to power the ROCK 5 ITX via a PoE switch (the ROCK 5 ITX doesn’t provide PoE power to another device) you can expect to get 25W of power budget for the system itself and any peripherals/devices you plan to power from the boards connectors.

(my summary of that quoted section:)
So, you can power the board with PoE, which will give the board and any connected devices 25W of power budget. Without looking at the specs of the CPU/GPU, that's probably enough to run at least one m.2 drive and a couple USB peripherals?
I'm pretty sure this was just trolling, but, I'm 100% ok with nurses buying "half million dollar homes". That's just what a house costs in most places a nurse would live.

MDs may be overpaid and there are a lot of problems with how residency works in the US (both in terms of too-few residents and abusive treatment of the few who get in) but nurses are absolutely not overpaid for the work they do.
That sounds pretty good. Passwordless sudo and disabling SELinux are the first things I do on new Fedora installs.

If somebody can compromise my user account, compromising root is pointless and trivial. More so on Qubes OS, where only breaking out of the VM really matters.

SELinux isn't usable in a strict mode because it's config is so ungainly that devs rarely create profiles. So only the opt-in mode is common and that's pretty pointless. Especially compared to using containers.
They don't, that's why I suggest someone else should take over.
> Here, you've defined "technical leadership" as basically just "being a software engineer"

I really don't think that's true. Software engineers can spend their whole career just checking off Jira cards, having no overarching ideas about the company's technical direction. And that's great. But leadership is specifically about leading others. That can mean establishing new processes, making global architectural decisions, mentoring juniors, and owning and driving an internal technical product roadmap. It also means having a general attitude of "how can I help the rest of the team succeed". If you learn something slightly obscure from a colleague, or a helpful language feature, document it on your internal knowledge base or make a post in Teams/Slack before moving on.
Remarkable to me that ctrl-f, "Sourceforge" had 3 hits on this page. Would have expected a dozen.
I bet you would argue almost any kind of result makes sense from an evolutionary point of view.
I mean, the man we are talking about have come to dominate two notoriously difficult industries by revolutionising both.

Wouldn’t Elon Musk be the definition of “smart CEO”? Considering his track record?
Couldn't T-Mobile send their own SMS's to their employees pretending to increase the payout to $600, then fire any employee that replies?

Or maybe change the terms of use for the employee line discount to allow monitoring SMS content or metadata for security threats to the companies users?
Parent already said he was fired when they found out he working at another 2 places, which is different from the new story that they saw "low productivity".

If someone is seems smart and skilled enough to have high output, but actually has low output, most companies/managers will spend a lot of effort and time trying to improve the situation. Obviously the guy is smart, so perhaps we just haven't onboarded him properly, or $POTENTIAL_REASONS.

It might take 2-4 months before you're sure enough it's never going to work out. You hope things will improve.

But if, during that 2-4 months, you find out the guy has another job, that hope disappears instantly.

This is my most charitable read of what happened, and I've heard of cases just like this.
What's the solution here? Can we practically expect employees at retail stores to not be permitted to change a person's phone over? What if the person who needs the swap has said their phone is lost/stolen?

I think ideally there would be some kind of verification that the customer was indeed present and that their ID had been verified, but I don't see how you can do that in the US as there aren't ID cards or similar forms of universally available ID. I also think you should be able to get a phone number without ID at all, which would preclude verification in those cases.

The issue is that people's phones are essentially the roots of trust for our digital lives. Passkeys being built into the OS are good because they push that problem away from carriers, but the fundamental issue still remains. Bootstrapping trust is hard.
Good point. I misread the OP and thought q was the key, but really it just corresponded to the key length (eg. 521 for p521)
> If you imagine that y'all's kids are exclusively products of your immigrant family's "deep culture," then your wife and her family would doubtless like a word.

The super-majority of every group still marries within their group, so our case is unusual. (My wife still has 7/8 British ancestry.) Our kids are a negotiated mix: Bangladeshi dad morality and career expectations, Oregonian mom austerity and disciplinary techniques. Regardless, my point is that they’re far from Oregonian. Folks in Eugene, OR probably wouldn’t want my daughter running the town.

> In a democracy, those cultural differences will be reflected in the government and society of the new country.
That's how evolution works — variation, plus selection for that which works, especially through mixing of genetic- and cultural traits via sexual reproduction. (It's part of the Great Project of building a universe.)

I would characterize what’s happening to America as more like entropy. Or maybe “worse is better.” Regardless, I view society as democratic project, not a free market or evolutionary one. People get to design the kind of society they want to live in. And they should realize that who they invite to join that society has a big effect on that.
“Inside job” SIM swap attacks are not necessarily new; a close friend’s T-Mobile phone got hit this way in March 2020.

The news here is the intersection of a data breach with SIM swapping: criminals are using the employee phone numbers from a recent T-Mobile breach data dump to text tons of employees at once, offering $300 per swap.

Previously, criminals would develop the inside agent either through personal connections or by applying and getting hired themselves. With the breached data, they can automate and scale.
The problem is taxes. Different items can be taxed differently. Itemized receipts are a must from the get-go unless you want to explain to the government that you underpaid them because you charge within a 10% error-margin.
Well, pay attention to what is anxiety, scientifically speaking. I myself made the common mistake to mix up stress with anxiety and, as I wasn’t really stressed, I thought I wasn’t anxious.

Anxiety is very, very sneaky and it’s common to have it without noticing it. Stress is about something : there’s a danger, a fear, a deadline, whatever.

Anxiety is more about inconscient thoughts, it’s more distant, barely observable, it’s about how you feel about yourself, your history and moreover your future.

In the case of procrastination they have basically opposite effects : a good amount of stress will make you progress and achieve before a deadline. Anxiety, on the contrary, looks like a mechanism which removes this useful stress and instead just add a coin in the uncertainty of the future. You don’t stress anymore about today so you procrastinate / avoid the task but now you have more anxiety : you have added uncertainty and insecurity in your brain : another undone task and you’ll probably never know if and how much it will cost you.

My pet theory is that this happens when your brain got somehow too much stress for low reward in the past and now learned to avoid stress by avoiding doing things with uncertain rewards. Instead you build up anxiety which is basically taking stressful things and hiding them under a carpet because well, not doing $thing will not kill you and you learned the hard way that doing things isn’t worth it.

You have to do something, the brain gives a quick look under the carpet, sees all the hidden shit mountain of all the past failures and says "oh we’d better check what’s new on YouTube".
This judge's ruling seems egregiously wrong to me. In general the law does not follow "finder's keepers" rules.

I know this case happened in the UK, but this is remarkably analogous to the case in the US where Citibank, due to a clerical error, accidentally wired $500 million to Revlon bondholders. An appeals court in the US said that money needed to be repaid, https://www.loeb.com/en/insights/publications/2022/10/second....

openbase did reviews and got up to 400k users. They couldn’t figure how monetize and shut down I think their blog post on it is still available somewhere.
...wind, water, and solar.

Bad news for companies that make their profit by burning dead dinosaurs.
Yet other institutions do single TOTP with SMS backup instead of TOTP with a 2nd TOTP backup.

The former is as bad as SMS.
Yes; writing the wrong name on paper is certainly a "pen and paper error". The only difference is this has never implied it was the paper's fault. "Computer error" only implies bad software because it is so often due to bad software (though I have no insight if that applies in this case).
Right, but they still can't do anything you wouldn't be able to achieve over the phone with the centralized support line. Maybe verifying your identity for a cash withdrawal, but that still requires knowing the same secrets you'd need to just replace the card. The branch employee has no more access to your account than you do.
I'm curious how that feature works on the backend. If the premise is employees abusing internal access to fiddle account data, and the feature can be toggled on an account page, can't the insider abuse a password reset flow, toggle the setting off, then proceed as normal? I'm assuming that there's some "customer walks into store and needs to reset their password" functionality employees can access. Maybe a mandatory waiting period?
Yeah this has been a thing since 2012ish and became more popular around 2016/17. Brian Krebs has documented this for the past 8 years. No new news here.
You don't understand. Corporate ads are bad and indeeeeeee ads are ok because they're, like, indeeeee. Now you know why the ghouls are downvoting you.
As mentioned, Fox News is plenty happy to go after Media Matters. There's no lack of people shouting across the aisle at each other.
I doubt it.
They’re using gpt-4 data because it’s cheaper than getting real data, not because it’s better.

If openai cares enough to stop people scraping responses, then we’ll just crowdsource them like open assistant did with their dataset.
If you don't mind me asking: Do you see a solution, technical or otherwise, to this problem?

My guess is there are limits to knowledge transfer that's difficult, if not impossible, to overcome.
Indeed, although we should also thank Apple for Object Pascal, whose extensions were the basis for TP 5.5.
The article is about human error, not computer error.

A law firm had divorce cases for two clients, and an employee authorized to act on behalve of one half of a couple accidentally clicked that their client agreed with the divorce settlement, intending to do so for another client.
This is a great story. Have you written it up somewhere? It’d be inspiring for the right high school kids.
Papers Please.
You may be experiencing this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia

I have read a few anecdotal experiences of people allowing these kinds of hallucinations to continue and they have reported that they can become quite vivid and even interactive. Maybe try waving your arms around when this happens to see if it goes away? That should indicate if it's sleep-related or not.
Elon's brand has become toxic enough that firing him might be the right move, but there's no way it happens with a board made up of sycophants and drug buddies.

It's bizarre how far that guy has fallen after being one of the greatest corporate fundraisers and hype men of all time. I guess some personalities don't respond well to being an unaccountable mega billionare.
> you were supposed to be preventing the divorce of

I don't think they were preventing, per se, as much as "wanting to negotiate on behalf of Mrs Williams to get the most out of Mr Williams" (who is presumably happy with this accident because it avoids all that faff since Mrs Williams, I assume, has no negotiating position now they're actually divorced.)
I have a board with a 16 core A78 serving static content via 100Gb/s (encrypted via ktls, offloaded to the NIC).

My arm fu is not good, so I'm not sure how a quad-core A76 compares.
When you have $15/hr employees who can enable a $100,000 scam this is bound to happen.
> which he had let go bankrupt and get evicted from its offices in 2011 so he could run for president in 2012

Right now, at least, the Wikipedia article states that the law required him to leave the organisation. It doesn’t sound like it was insolvent when he left, just that without him it found it hard to get additional donations. It also sounds like it was evicted after it was dissolved, many months after he terminated his relationship with it.

Lacking any other details, it sounds strange to blame him for what happened after his required-by-law departure.
It's almost inconceivable to me that companies would go fully remote and not over time adjust salary downwards to something more like the median demands of the available labor force (i.e., those whose workday fits within a 8:00-6:00 window.

I live in the Bay Area, but if I moved back to the low cost of living area I'm from with low income taxes, I'd come out ahead even with 30% pay cut. I like living in a HCOL area, so I'm not happy about fully remote work.

The most I can hope for is that the wage drop doesn't too far outpace the concomitant drop in the cost of living in these expensive areas.
"iPhone Keychain" - no thanks, I'll stick with a non-vendor specific provider.

I am trying to escape that awful ecosystem, not dig myself further in.
Wrote Hacking Healthcare for O'Reilly, former hospital executive, built and operated hundred of hospitals and multi-practice groups. Created the open source ClearHealth/HealthCloud EMR and WebVista.

I advise a lot of health related startups. I think the list is OK but the two most important things I have seen come up over and over again are 'have a show pony' and KISS.

"Have a show pony" means you need to have a doctor associated with your business, idea, etc that is high profile and a public advocate for it. Doesn't necessarily mean as an employee or consultant, etc, that can get complex because of corporate practice of medicine regulations but advisory boards and research partners are often good fits. This lets you be taken seriously by what are extremely risk averse institutions in most cases, especially when dealing with "two guys and a hard drive" startups.

KISS is the old adage, keep it simple stupid, but really in healthcare the overwhelming high priority problems are insanely simple people issues. Getting people to wash their hands, getting patients to show up at the right time and the right place, having an organized and non-duplicative flow of operating information. A tremendous amount of healthcare is done via spreadsheet, think at that level. Complex solutions can be profitable but almost never endure and can be extremely hard to sell.

I think a lot can be gleaned about the general dysfuction of healthcare as an industry from this previous HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39186252
ASD adults still have much higher unemployment rates that average

Don't even need a formal diagnosis, autistic traits seem sufficient. I do "well" on autism tests but have no diagnosis, and am unemployed.
I'm glad that worked out for you and you're finally cured. Did you have a painful recovery was post surgery?
This is a tired argument. If you want better governance, it's a political problem, not a tech problem. "Papers Please" exists today due to a lack of law enforcement oversight and current statute [1]. A properly functioning national ID system and infrastructure doesn't change that.

The databases already exist [2] [3] [4] [5]; because you do not have the physical card does not mean you don't live this reality today. On the contrary, you already don't have the privacy you think you have, without any of the quality of life improvements a national ID card would provide.

> CBP has successfully implemented facial biometrics into the entry processes at all international airports, known as Simplified Arrival, and into the exit processes at 49 airport locations.

I love me some ID.me and think every bank and financial institution should be required to use it. It goes so far beyond to do good multi-factor auth and even accounts for the un-homed and un-phoned in their multifactor. Thousands of people can't bank or use many services because they can't get a phone number, but they can use id.me at a library or other public computer with few issues just having an old offline phone running an authenticator

Edit: TIL login.gov is the new hotness
This is precisely the reason I switched over. The QA control for 99% of Windows laptops is completely hit or miss.

My last decent Windows machine was a Lenovo T530. That thing was a workstation and didn't pretend to be anything else. Modular, easy to replace components, that thing got out of my way and just worked. That was over a decade ago.

After that I had nothing but irritating issues. Everything from poor wifi (looking at you Killer), poor battery life (2 hours max), ventilation issues and overheating, etc.
Example: My Dell XPS with InfinityEdge screen looked amazing. What was less amazing was the constant BSODs on a brand new machine within a few months of light usage.

I switched to a MBP Max M1 and haven't looked back.
Fair point. It's been several years since I was in the space and I think I muddled some of the innovations (CNNs and BERT specifically). That said, transformers are themselves the result of of the PDP architecture.
UEFI is not enough if you don't have all the drivers in the OS image, especially the GPU drivers. Last year I bought a cheap Windows Qualcomm 8xx ARM tablet on sale and it was very nice for the money but I returned it when none of the ARM Linux ISOs I found online could boot on it despite the tablet having UEFI support, because Qualcomm.

Booting Linux distros out of the box is such a non-issue on X86 that we take it for granted when on ARM it's just a pipe dream.

If the ARM PC future is all proprietary custom firmware blobs that need to patched for each SoC/motherboard for Linux to boot, then you can keep them, I'll stick to X86 thank you very much.
It's a "computer error" in the same way that if you type an address into your favorite map nav software, it will show you directions to that address, rather than whatever secret unknown place you really wanted to go to.

If you accidentally send nudes to your parents, that's actually an "SMS error".

If you drive your car off of a cliff, that's a "pavement error".

If you intended to go to bed early, but actually stay up late playing video games/watching TV/reading/whatever, then that is a "clock error".
It’s also hard to detangle the effects of local subsidies vs those in say China which are also driving down costs of solar.

Really in context my question was “What would motivate the private sector in the absence of government intervention”. The comment I was replying to was clearly setting up a contrast between letting the “private sector” solve it instead of “hamfisted government policy.”

Really those two aren’t separate. The government even when it “overreaches” in the eyes of some rarely tackles large projects on its own. Most of what it does is regulate, tax, and inventive the private sector to attempt to achieve some desired outcome.
Depends entirely on the software. If it was confusing and poorly put together such that it was difficult or unclear whose name gets put where and so forth, then there's a case to be made (!) that the lawyer intended and expected the software to do one thing, when it actually did another.

Some things should require human control and agency involved at every step from conception to completion. Even if the software merely enabled such a mistake to be made, that means the software is interacting with a system that is not equipped to handle failure modes gracefully. It's half baked, and as seen, the system can have profound and lasting impact on people's lives. If the stakes are high, the diligence and care have to be escalated as well.

Marriage, divorce, bankruptcy, and other situations should be human only until we are entirely certain that programmatic access is not going to result in hiccups and disruptions.
How far was the server from the Supabase instance?

I have a toy project with a server on Fly.io and the DB on Supabase within the same city

When sending API requests to the server, my end user latency was around 25ms-100ms (depending on the endpoint and how many DB calls it was doing)

Now with Supabase on Fly, that API latency is down to 17ms-70ms. But Supabase on Fly is still in alpha so it's not relevant for production yet
